Use of Microsoft Clarity
We use the “Microsoft Clarity” analysis tool from Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland; “Microsoft”) on our website. Microsoft is a company affiliated with Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, Washington 98052, USA).

The data processing is used for the purpose of designing, optimising and analysing our website to meet requirements. The tool randomly records the movements of visitors on the website. This creates a protocol of mouse movements, scrolling behaviour, length of stay and clicks on the website (so-called heat map).
Cookies or comparable technologies are used for this purpose. The following information, among other things, can be collected: IP address, time of access, click path, information about the device you are using (device type, screen size and resolution, unique device identifier, operating system), information about the browser you are using (browser type and version), location data, preferred language for displaying the website, sub-pages visited, time spent on the site, content viewed, requested website or file.
These data are used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. The data is not used to personally identify the visitor to the website and is not merged with personal data of the bearer of the pseudonym. Microsoft is contractually prohibited from selling the collected data to other third parties.
Your data may be transferred to the United States. The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the United States, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Microsoft has certified itself according to the TADPF and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection principles.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 25 GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Use of the LinkedIn Insight tag
We use the LinkedIn Insight tag from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; ‘LinkedIn’) on our website for conversion tracking (evaluation of visitor actions) and for retargeting (playing personalised advertisements).

The LinkedIn Insight tag places a unique LinkedIn browser cookie (conversion cookie) in your browser and enables the collection of the following data for this cookie: metadata such as IP address, timestamp and page events (e.g. page views). These cookies have a limited validity. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and LinkedIn can recognise that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page.
The LinkedIn Insight tag also allows LinkedIn to collect data about visits to our website, including the URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent) and timestamps. This data is transferred to LinkedIn, encrypted, the IP addresses are shortened and the direct IDs of LinkedIn members are removed within seven days to pseudonymise the data. This remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted by LinkedIn within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share any personal data with us, but only provides summarised reports about the website target group and the ad performance. LinkedIn members can specify how their personal data is used for advertising purposes in their account settings.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the US, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). LinkedIn has certified itself according to the TADPF and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection principles.

Use of social plug-ins using the ‘2-click solution’
We use plug-ins from social networks on our website using the ‘2-click solution’. This means that no connections to the servers of the social networks are established and consequently no data is transmitted without your express consent.
When plug-ins are integrated by default, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider when you access pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Data is also transmitted for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. To help you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially disable the corresponding button. You can recognise this by the greyed-out button. Without your explicit consent – in the form of activating the button – no link to the social network server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button will it become active (highlighted in colour) and a direct link to the social network server will be established.
By activating the button, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. Among other things, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social network accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The following social networks are integrated using the ‘2-click function’. You can find more information about the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data, as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy, in the providers' linked data protection information.
