4. Collection of Personal Data When Visiting Our Website
When using the website for informational purposes only — meaning you do not register,
request a trial version, or otherwise transmit information to us — we only collect
the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. This data is technically
necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).
The following data is collected:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status / HTTP status code
- Amount of data transferred in each case
- Website from which the request originates (referrer URL)
- Browser (type, version, language)
- Operating system and its interface
Our website is hosted by **Hetzner Online GmbH** (Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen,
Germany). The personal data collected by us is processed on Hetzner servers in certified
data centers in Germany.
The use of this service provider is based on our legitimate interest in the secure,
fast, and efficient provision of our online services (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit.
f GDPR). We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Hetzner Online GmbH
pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR to ensure the protection of your data.
In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are stored on your device when
using our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your hard drive and assigned
to the browser you use, through which certain information flows to the entity setting
the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses
to your computer. They serve to make the website more user-friendly and effective
overall.
This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of
which are explained below:
- Transient cookies: These are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These
include, in particular, session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, which
allows various requests from your browser to be assigned to the same session. This
enables your device to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies
are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
- Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a predefined period, which
may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser's
security settings.
You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for
example, refuse the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. Please note
that you may then not be able to use all functions of this website.
6. Web Analytics with Swetrix
We use the privacy-friendly web analytics service Swetrix Analytics provided by
Swetrix Ltd (International House, 38 Thistle Street, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, EH2
1EN; company number: SC797389) on our website.
Swetrix Analytics is configured by default to operate in a fully cookieless manner.
No text files are stored on your device, and no persistent identifiers are generated
that would allow tracking your behavior across different websites. Visitor traffic
is collected in a highly anonymized form (e.g. by masking IP addresses), so that no
conclusions can be drawn about the identity of individual visitors.
We use Swetrix Analytics to analyze the use of our website and to regularly improve
it. The statistics obtained enable us to optimize our offering and make it more interesting
for you as a user.
The legal basis for the use of Swetrix Analytics is our legitimate interest in
the needs-based design and statistical optimization of our website pursuant to Art.
6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information on Swetrix's privacy practices
can be found at: https://swetrix.com/privacy.
7. Integration of YouTube Videos
We have integrated YouTube videos into our website that are stored on http://www.YouTube.com
and can be played directly from our website. All videos are embedded in “enhanced
privacy mode,” meaning that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube
unless you play the videos. The data mentioned below is only transmitted once you
play the videos. We have no influence over this data transfer.
The service provider is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin
4, Ireland).
By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed
the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the basic data mentioned under
section 4 of this policy is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube
provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account
exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly associated with your
account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your YouTube profile,
you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles
and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its
website.
The legal basis for loading the iFrames and the associated data transfer is your
consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, which you provide via our
consent banner or by explicitly activating the video player. You may revoke your consent
at any time with future effect.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing
by YouTube can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
8. Use of Our Products (SaaS Solutions) and Additional Services
In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services
that you may use if interested (e.g. registration for online masterclasses, seminars,
requesting a free trial version, or direct contact inquiries).
For this purpose, you generally need to provide additional personal data, which
we use to provide the respective service and for our own marketing and sales purposes
(including name, email address, telephone number, and company name).
Depending on the context, the processing of this data is based on:
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR (performance of pre-contractual measures or
fulfillment of a contract, e.g. when providing trial access to our SaaS platform).
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in processing your inquiry
and in marketing communication directed at B2B prospects).
As part of processing activities, we partly use external service providers who
have been carefully selected, contractually bound in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR,
and regularly monitored by us.
