Data Protection Notice

Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our company and services. In accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (Federal Data Protection Act), we would like to inform you about how we handle data protection and information security.
The terms used here, such as personal data, data subject, processing, recipients, third parties, consent and verbs corresponding to these are based on the terminology used in the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act. We refrain from defining these terms here again. You will find the corresponding definitions in the respective statutory provisions.
Your visit to our website is registered anonymously, and only for internal statistical purposes; Our content management system REDAXO uses session cookies that are deleted when the user ends the session. We therefore do not record any personal data in connection with your visit to our website. This means that no conclusions can be drawn regarding individuals visiting our website or the websites from which visitors access our website.
If you contact us, we will collect the personal data that you disclose or that which comes from publicly available sources and is used in connection with the processing intended, or that we as the authorized persons find on platforms such as Xing or similar. Your data will be processed for the (intended) execution of a contract, in particular in the context of projects and the administration of applicant data. In these circumstances, we will process the following personal data:

• Last name, first name, any titles and academic degrees
• Address and contact information
• Your tax number/VAT identification number
• Your application, including curriculum vitae, education, professional background and experience, special skills and knowledge, also if you have made these and your profile accessible on platforms, as well as comparable data
• History of our business relationship
•  

The processing of personal data, including any profiles, occurs exclusively to the extent required from us by law and/or to fulfill the obligations expressly entered into and for any other purposes where the data subject has given their explicit consent. We also do not use any social plugins in connection with social media, such as Facebook, YouTube or Google, and do not trade in or advertise using personal data. Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. We make exceptions to this rule for authorities and other public-law institutions, insofar as we are legally obligated to disclose personal data to such authorities or institutions. We also transmit the names, titles, addresses and contact information, as well as the profile including skills and work experience, of any of our service providers intending to work on a project for a client to that respective client. In addition, we transmit data such as names, addresses, tax numbers and invoices to our external accounting firm that handles our bookkeeping and payroll and that in turn uses DATEV to the extent required to fulfill the corresponding tasks.
When storing and using personal data, we attach great importance to the protection of your privacy as well as the security and confidentiality of all business information that we become aware of. All data will be processed and protected in accordance with the applicable legal requirements. We will implement all the technical and organizational measures that are necessary to ensure compliance with data protection requirements. If we transfer personal data (as per the cases described above), the parties to whom we transfer such data will be subject to the same data protection regulations. The transferal of personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area is excluded.
You have the right to request information regarding the data stored about you and, if such personal data proves to be incorrect, the correction thereof. Inasmuch as we are not legally or contractually permitted to retain the corresponding data, you may request that we delete or restrict the processing of your personal data or object to us processing your personal data. Even if you have given your consent to data processing, you may at any time withdraw this consent to the collection, processing and use of your personal data for the future; the lawfulness of the data processing up to the point of withdrawal will remain unaffected. Finally, you have the right to have your processed data transferred to a third party if you have given your consent to data processing and to the extent that the data is processed by automated means.
We will delete personal data if consent to the storage of such is legitimately withdrawn, should such personal data no longer be required to fulfill the purpose for which it was stored, or if the storage is or becomes inadmissible for other legal reasons.
If and for as long as data is required for accounting and bookkeeping purposes, or is subject to a statutory retention obligation, the corresponding data will not be deleted.

1.) Use of Google Fonts locally

We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website. The company Google Ireland Limited (Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for the European area.

The Google fonts (typefaces) are located locally, i.e. on our web server (not on Google servers). There is no connection to the Google servers and therefore no data transmission or storage takes place.

2.) What are Google Fonts

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is an interactive directory consisting of many fonts that Google LLC provides for free use. With Google Fonts, you could use the fonts without uploading them to your own server. However, in order to comply with data protection regulations, the fonts on this website are located locally on the web server, which means that there is no data exchange with the Google systems. This ensures compliance with data protection.
