We use Webflow for the purpose of creating and providing our online presence.

Legal basis for data processing
Insofar as we use cookies and similar technologies in connection with the integration of the service, or insofar as data is stored on or accessed from your device by the service, this is carried out in accordance with Section 25 (2) TDDDG. Any subsequent data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in technically improving our website and making our online presence available efficiently.

3.3. Data processing in connection with cookies and similar technologies

3.3.1. Access to and storage of information in end-user devices

By using our website, information may be accessed on your end-user device (e.g., IP address) or information may be stored on your device (e.g., cookies). Such access or storage may be associated with further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.

Where such access or storage of information is strictly necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, it is carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) sentence 1 and Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG. Where such access or storage serves other purposes (e.g., to design our website according to user needs), it is carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG only with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Further information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal bases in this context can be found in the following sections describing the specific processing activities on our website.

‍

3.3.2. Cookies and related technologies

3.3.2.1. General Information

We use services on this website that deploy cookies and similar technologies to store data in your browser and to read previously stored data. These may include cookies, your browser’s local storage, pixels, and so-called tags.

Cookies are small text files that can be stored on and read from your device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted once you close your browser, and persistent cookies, which are stored for a specific period of time beyond a single browsing session.

In addition to cookies, we may use your browser’s local storage to save and retrieve data. We may also integrate pixels into our website. Pixels are small, individualized image files that are loaded when a page is accessed and can be used to track user activities. Finally, we may use tags on our website. Tags are small HTML or JavaScript code fragments or markers that allow services for website analytics or user tracking to distinguish or identify users and to track specific user activities.

Further information about the cookies and similar technologies we use can be found in the descriptions of the cookie categories below and in our consent management banner, which is displayed to you when you visit our website. You can reopen the banner at any time via the button at the bottom left of the website and change your settings.

Please note that without certain cookies and similar technologies, our website may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be technically available.

‍

3.3.2.2. Category: Necessary Cookies

Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and retrieve information on your device. We use these to enable the display of our website and to provide its basic functions — in particular, site navigation, enabling the granting and withdrawal of consent, protecting our forms from abusive entries, and safeguarding our website against cyberattacks and fraud attempts.

Some of the cookies and similar technologies used only contain information about specific settings and are not personally identifiable. We do not use them to track your interactions, for measurement or statistical analysis, or for advertising purposes.

The use of these services and the corresponding cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on Section 25 (2) nos. 1 and 2 TDDDG. Any subsequent processing of personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

‍

3.3.2.3. Category Preferences

Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and access information on your device. We use them to enable the display of our website and to provide its core functions — in particular site navigation, managing the granting and withdrawal of consent, protecting our forms from misuse, and safeguarding our website against cyberattacks and fraud attempts.

Some of these cookies and similar technologies only store information about certain settings and are not personally identifiable. We do not use them to track your interactions, for measurement or statistical analysis, or for advertising purposes.

The use of these services and the corresponding cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on Section 25 (2) nos. 1 and 2 TDDDG. Any subsequent processing of personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

3.3.2.4. Kategorie analytical Cookies

Statistics / Analytics Cookies

Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and access information on your device. We use them to:

  • count and distinguish individual website visitors
  • generate statistical analyses of user interactions and website usage
  • tailor our websites to user needs and adapt them to user interactions
  • monitor the technical functionality of our website and enable error correction

For this purpose, individual pseudonymous identifiers (recognition features) consisting of numbers and letters are regularly stored in cookies on your device when you visit our website and are read again on subsequent visits. By using pseudonyms, it is possible to distinguish and recognize individual users without directly identifying them. The natural person behind a pseudonym cannot generally be identified directly, in particular not by name, without additional data.

Other technologies may also be used to read recognition features from your device, such as so-called browser or device fingerprinting. In this process, data about the properties of your browser (e.g., type and version), its configuration (e.g., preferred language), your device (e.g., manufacturer and model of your mobile phone, operating system), or your hardware (e.g., screen resolution) may be used to pseudonymously recognize you as a distinct user.

The use of these services and the associated cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Any subsequent processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

3.3.2.5. Category Marketing Cookies

Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and access information on your device. We use them to:

  • count and distinguish individual website visitors
  • create statistical analyses of your interactions with and use of our website
  • track your interactions with advertisements placed by us via third parties on other websites and across different devices and websites (so-called conversion tracking)
  • analyze and evaluate your interactions with our website in order to use this information as a basis for targeted advertising campaigns tailored to you or to a specific target group to which you belong (so-called retargeting and remarketing)
  • improve the effectiveness of our advertising measures and manage our advertising campaigns

For this purpose, individual pseudonymous identifiers (recognition features) consisting of numbers and letters are regularly stored in cookies on your device when you visit our website or another website and are read again upon subsequent visits.

Other technologies may also be used to read recognition features from your device, such as browser or device fingerprinting. This involves using data from the properties of your browser (e.g., type and version), its configuration (e.g., preferred language), your device (e.g., manufacturer and model of your mobile phone, operating system), or your hardware (e.g., screen resolution) to pseudonymously recognize you as a distinct user.

The processed pseudonymous identifiers may also be combined with additional data by us or by the providers of the services we use. In some cases, these identifiers (IDs) may be exchanged and matched between services and their providers (so-called ID matching/ID syncing). If a match occurs, identifiers are combined and assigned to the same pseudonymous user. This allows for cross-device, cross-platform, and cross-network recognition and targeted advertising of website visitors.

If you identify yourself with your real data (such as name or email address) or enter your own user data on our website, or if you log into social networks or online services of third-party providers that provide us with corresponding tracking and advertising services, pseudonymous identifiers may additionally be linked with your real or user data. In this way, we or the service providers can create and analyze comprehensive pseudonymous or non-pseudonymous user profiles and subsequently use them for targeted advertising based on your interests.

The use of these services and the associated cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Any subsequent processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

On our website, we use a consent management banner provided by Cookiebot by Usercentrics, which allows us to manage your consents regarding the use of cookies and similar technologies.

Description of data processing and purpose
We use this service to manage your consents for the use of cookies and similar technologies, as well as for the subsequent data processing activities. If you provide consent via our consent banner, the service processes the following data:

  • the IP address of the connection you are using
  • a description of the web browser and operating system used
  • the language used by your browser and operating system
  • the address of the website on which you gave your consent
  • the date and time of your consent
  • the country from which you submitted your request
  • a pseudonymous identifier to distinguish between different users
  • your consent status regarding the cookies, similar technologies, and services we use, serving as proof of your consent

As part of this data processing, cookies are used to store your consent status on your device, to read it again upon revisiting the site, and to compare it. This enables us to check your consent status during all subsequent and future visits to our websites and, according to your decision, activate or deactivate cookies and other technologies upon revisiting.

The purpose and our legitimate interest lie in enabling us to use cookies and similar technologies on our websites in compliance with data protection requirements and to provide you with a simple option to withdraw your consent at any time.

Legal basis for data processing
Insofar as we use cookies and similar technologies in connection with the integration of the service, or insofar as data is stored on or accessed from your device by the service, this is carried out in accordance with Section 25 (2) TDDDG. Any subsequent processing of personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Storage period
Your consent status is stored for a period of 12 months.

‍

3.5. Google Fonts

Description of data processing and purpose
Google Fonts enables us to use web fonts. For this purpose, when you access our website, the required Google Fonts are loaded by your web browser into your browser cache. This is necessary to ensure that your browser can also display our texts in an improved visual format. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font from your computer will be used instead.

Since Google Fonts are provided by Google and loaded from their servers when the page is accessed, the usage data technically required for loading the page is transmitted in the process. In this context, Google also receives your IP address, which is technically necessary to retrieve the content. We use Google Fonts for optimization purposes, in particular to improve the usability of our website and to make its design more user-friendly.

Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the integration and use of this service is your consent, provided you have given it via our consent management platform. The use of cookies and similar technologies takes place on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The subsequent data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. To withdraw your consent, please use the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the website to reopen our consent management banner and change your settings.

Recipients
In the context of using this service, the data collected via our websites is transmitted to the following recipients:

  • Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
  • Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA

We generally have no influence on any further processing of the data by the third-party provider. Further information on Google’s handling of personal data can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Data processing in third countries
When using this service, your data may also be processed in countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries, in particular in the USA. For data transfers to the USA, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR exists with regard to companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards. Certification can be verified at the following link: Participant Search (dataprivacyframework.gov).

In cases where your data is transferred to other third countries for which no adequacy decision exists, there is a risk that local authorities may access your data for security and monitoring purposes without informing you or allowing you to seek legal remedies. To ensure an adequate level of data protection for transfers to such third countries, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR are used. These clauses obligate the recipient to process the data in accordance with the European level of protection.

Where the Standard Contractual Clauses alone are not sufficient to guarantee the required level of protection, additional technical, contractual, and/or organizational measures are implemented to secure the transfer. In addition, it is regularly reviewed and assessed whether these additional measures continue to ensure an adequate level of protection or whether further supplementary measures may be required.

Storage period
By integrating the service into our websites, data is transmitted to the above-mentioned recipients and processed there for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes described above. No further storage of the data processed by the service and made available to us takes place in our own systems.

3.6. Google Analytics

Google Analytics

On our website, we integrate the service “Google Analytics” provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA. Within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), “Google Analytics” is offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which supports us as a processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

Description of data processing and purpose

Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. To withdraw your consent, please use the button at the bottom left of the website to change your settings in our consent management platform.

Data processing in third countries
When using “Google Analytics,” your data may also be processed in countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e., in third countries without an adequate level of data protection, in particular in the USA.

In such cases, there is a risk that local authorities may access your data for security and monitoring purposes without informing you or allowing you to seek legal remedies. To ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring your data to such third countries, the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR are used. These obligate the recipient to process the data in accordance with the European level of protection.

Where the Standard Contractual Clauses alone are not sufficient to guarantee the required level of protection, additional technical, contractual, and/or organizational measures are implemented to secure the transfer. In addition, it is regularly reviewed and assessed whether these additional measures continue to ensure an adequate level of protection or whether further supplementary measures are required.

6. Privacy information for visitors of our social media profiles

The following provides information on how we handle your data collected through your use of our social media profiles on social networks and platforms.

6.1 Social media profiles‍

We maintain profiles, accounts, pages, or fan pages on the following social media platforms:

  • LinkedIn: PTXRE LinkedIn

6.2 Different responsibilities and roles

‍
Depending on how the platform operators and we as page operators are involved in processing your personal data, the respective responsibility or role differs. We may either be jointly responsible with the platform operator, or the platform operator may be solely responsible.

6.3 Joint responsibility with platform operators

6.3.1 Joint controllers
We are jointly responsible with the following platform operators:

  • LinkedIn: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Gardner House 4, 5, 6, Dublin 2, Ireland

For processing of your personal data in connection with your visit to our profiles, accounts, pages, or fan pages, we as page operators are jointly responsible with the platform providers where the platform operators provide aggregated visitor information (e.g., “Insights” or “Analytics”).

In the case of joint responsibility, we have concluded agreements with the platform operators pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR (e.g., Page Controller Addendum or Joint Controller Addendum). These agreements specify which data processing operations we and the platform operators are responsible for. You can review these agreements at the following links:

  • LinkedIn: https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum

Further information on data processing by the platform operators can be found in their privacy policies:

  • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

6.3.2 Contacting the data protection officers of platform operators

‍
You can contact the data protection officers of the platform operators here:

  • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/TSO-DPO

6.3.3 Data processing under joint responsibility

6.3.3.1 Access to and storage of information on end-user devices
When you access our profiles on the above-mentioned platforms, cookies and similar technologies are used on your end device by the platform operator to store or retrieve data. This access and storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.

  • Where such access or storage is strictly necessary for the technically error-free provision of services, processing takes place on the basis of Section 25 (1) sentence 1, Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG. Further processing may take place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
  • Where such processing serves other purposes (e.g., demand-based design), it takes place on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG only with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Further information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, including legal bases, can be found in the privacy policies of the respective platform operators.

6.3.3.2 Data processing for advertising and market research purposes
In general, personal data on our social media profiles is primarily processed for market research and advertising purposes by the platform operators. Where data collection also takes place directly on our social media profile, we are jointly responsible with the platform operators.

Data processing involves cookies and similar technologies that allow the platform operator to recognize you when you visit a social media profile. For platform members, the operator extensively evaluates interactions (clicks, comments, likes) and processes information provided by you (e.g., profile data, profile picture, profile name). Demographic information (age, gender, country, industry, profession, etc.) from your member profile may also be processed.

Using the data collected, usage profiles can be created and used by the platform operators to display advertising inside and outside the platform that is presumed to match your interests. While we do not have direct access to this data, we also benefit from these processing activities by running targeted advertising campaigns based on the target groups identified by the platform operators.

The legal basis for this processing of your personal data is your consent given to the platform operator pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

6.3.3.3 Data processing in the context of “Insights” or “Analytics”
In addition, your data is jointly processed in connection with “Page Insights” or “Page Analytics.”

These are analysis functions provided by the platform operators that allow your profile data, demographic information, and interaction data with our profile to be collected by the platform operators and us jointly. The platform operator then analyzes this data and provides us with aggregated data (“aggregated insights”), showing which demographic groups visited our profile and how it was used.

We do not have direct access to the individual data; it is only available to us in aggregated form. This means we cannot identify individual visitors or their interactions. We use the aggregated data to align our social media profiles with target groups and to optimize them for advertising purposes (increasing reach and awareness, evaluating campaign success).

The legal basis for this processing is your consent given to the platform operator pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

6.3.3.4 Data processing based on consent
Where you are asked by the platform operator for consent to processing for specific joint purposes, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

6.3.3.5 Recipients and international data transfers
Where we transfer personal data to social media platform operators, these operators are the recipients within the meaning of Art. 4 no. 9 GDPR:

  • LinkedIn: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Gardner House 4, 5, 6, Dublin 2, Ireland
  • LinkedIn Corp., 1000 W. Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA

Processing of your data when visiting our social media profiles may also take place in countries outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), particularly in the USA.

  • For transfers to the USA, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR applies for companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. LinkedIn Corp. is certified under this framework and committed to appropriate data protection standards: Participant Search.
  • For transfers to third countries without an adequacy decision, there is a risk that authorities may access your data for security and surveillance purposes without notification or legal remedies. To ensure adequate protection, Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR are used, obligating the data recipients to process data at EU protection levels. Additional measures (technical, contractual, organizational) are implemented and reviewed regularly.

6.3.4 Exercising your rights in cases of joint responsibility

As a visitor to our page, you may exercise your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, complaint to a supervisory authority, objection or withdrawal of consent) with both the platform operator and us.

  • LinkedIn: Via LinkedIn settings, you can restrict the visibility of your LinkedIn account (also) to us. Further information on exercising your rights can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

‍

6.4 Our own responsibility

For the following data processing activities via our social media profiles, we are solely responsible.

6.4.1 Data processing through the operation of the social media profile
When you visit or interact with our social media profile, we process your personal data. This may include:

  • information you actively provide (comments, likes, or other publicly available information such as your profile picture or profile name)
  • depending on the provider and your platform settings, information on who has visited our profile within the platform

The legal basis for processing personal data in connection with the operation of our social media profile is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

6.4.2 Data processing when contacting us
We collect personal data ourselves if you contact us, e.g., via a contact form or a messenger function on the respective platform.

  • The type of data collected depends on the information you provide and the contact details you share or release.
  • Such data will be stored for the purpose of handling your request and in case of follow-up questions.

The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply. We assume a request has been fully processed if it is apparent from the circumstances that the matter has been conclusively clarified.

6.4.3 Data processing for contract execution
If your contact via a social network or another platform aims at the conclusion of a contract for the supply of goods or the provision of services with us, we process your data for the performance of the contract, the implementation of pre-contractual measures, or the provision of the requested services.

The legal basis for processing your data in this case is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or once it is clear that the pre-contractual measures will not lead to a contract in line with the purpose of your contact. Please note, however, that even after the conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of our contractual partners in order to meet contractual or statutory obligations.

6.4.4 Data processing based on consent
Where we ask you for consent to process your data for a specific purpose, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR. Consent given can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
