Data Processing on Our Website

Web Server Logs

When you access our website, information about the access (date, time, page viewed, IP address) is stored as log files on our server. We process this data based on our legitimate interest in monitoring technical operations, optimizing the information we provide, and detecting attacks on our website. This data is used exclusively for internal statistical purposes in anonymized form.
Log files are deleted after three months.

Contact Form

The data from your inquiry (name, contact details, content of the inquiry, history of previous interactions) that you submit via the contact form or email is processed for customer support (pre-contractual measures) and marketing purposes (legitimate interest in direct mail marketing). Your data is deleted three years after your last inquiry, provided no legal obligations require its retention.

Newsletter Subscription

Newsletters are only sent with your explicit consent. This involves providing your information, including your email address, clicking the "Sign Up" button, and confirming the link in the automatically sent confirmation email (double opt-in).

You may withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

In addition to your email address, we process information about your newsletter reading behavior, such as which articles are read most frequently. This information helps us make our content more relevant and engaging for you.
Your data is stored until you withdraw your consent or unsubscribe from the newsletter.

Cookie Usage

This website uses software to analyze user interactions. By evaluating this data, valuable insights into user needs can be obtained, helping to improve the quality of our offerings.

Cookies are used for this purpose. Cookies are data stored in your browser that enable anonymous recognition of a visitor. Generally, cookies can be refused or deleted through your browser settings. The statements made here about cookies apply similarly to other technical browser functions, such as Local Storage and Session Storage.

Some cookies on this website are essential for its functionality and are used based on our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient operation of the website. Information is not shared with third parties for their business purposes.

Cookies for analytical purposes and profiling are only used with your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the purple button (left bottom corner).

Google Analytics

Our website uses the Google Analytics service from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Tel: +353 1 543 1000, Fax: +353 1 686 5660, Email: support@google.com, "Google") exclusively with your consent. Google may further process your data in the USA.

The USA has a lower level of data protection than the EU, and U.S. companies are required to provide data to courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or security authorities. Google has committed to complying with the principles of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) to ensure an EU-equivalent level of data protection. Under Article 45 of the GDPR, no additional legal basis is required for data transfers to the USA.

Google may use the collected information for its purposes. Further details can be found at: Google’s Partner Sites Policies.

Google Consent Mode (Advanced)

When using our website, data about your consent settings may be shared with Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, "Google"). This occurs only if you have consented to this data transfer.

Before consent is granted, Google scripts are used to set the consent status initially to "consent denied" to ensure that website usage data (e.g., for personalized advertising) is not used until consent is given. When Google scripts load, the public IP address of your device is technically transmitted to Google but is not further used. This transmission is based on our legitimate interest in a fully GDPR-compliant analysis of website usage.

Data processing may involve transfers to countries outside the EU, particularly the USA. As noted, Google adheres to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), ensuring EU-equivalent data protection levels under Article 45 GDPR.

Google Ads

We use the Google Ads service from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to display relevant advertisements and measure the success of our ad campaigns. Google Ads enables us to utilize "conversion tracking" and "remarketing."

Conversion tracking helps us understand whether you reached our website via an advertisement and which actions you took (e.g., making a purchase or filling out a contact form).

Remarketing allows us to display targeted ads to you on other websites based on your previous visits to our site.

Data such as your IP address, technical information about your device and browser, visited web pages, interactions with our ads, and, if enabled, your Google account data, is collected and processed. If you are logged into your Google account, Google may link this information with other data about you.

The use of Google Ads is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time via our cookie banner or in the privacy settings.

Your data may also be transferred to the USA. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, ensuring an adequate level of data protection.

We use the service stape.io, provided by Stape Europe OÜ (Harju maakond, Tallinn, Lasnamäe linnaosa, Väike-Paala tn 2, 11415, Estonia), to implement server-side tagging on our website. Stape.io allows us to handle certain tracking and analytical processes more efficiently by transmitting data via a server instead of directly through your browser. Data such as your IP address, device and browser information, and interaction data (e.g., visited pages or clicks) is processed.

This data transmission occurs solely based on your consent, as per Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

Microsoft Ads

We use the Microsoft Ads service provided by Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA) to display relevant advertisements and measure the success of our ad campaigns.

Data such as your IP address, device and browser technical details, visited pages, and interactions with our ads are processed. If you are logged into a Microsoft account, Microsoft may link this data to your profile.

Processing is based on your consent, as per Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent anytime via our cookie banner or privacy settings.

Microsoft may transfer data to the USA or other third countries. To ensure adequate data protection, Microsoft complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). More details about Microsoft Ads’ data processing can be found at Microsoft Privacy Statement.

Facebook Pixel

We occasionally run advertisements on the Facebook social media platform, operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”). Clicking on these ads may redirect you to our website.

The Facebook Pixel is integrated into our website only with your consent. Using the Facebook Pixel, we can assess which ads are more or less effective by tracking which pages on our website are visited after clicking on an ad.

Meta may transfer data to the USA, which has a lower level of data protection compared to the EU. U.S. companies may be required to provide data to courts, law enforcement, or regulatory authorities. However, Meta voluntarily complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), ensuring an EU-equivalent level of data protection. No additional legal basis for data transfers to Meta in the USA is required under Article 45 of the GDPR.

For details on data collection and further processing by Facebook, as well as privacy options, see Facebook Privacy Policy.
