2. definitions
We have designed our privacy policy in accordance with the principles of clarity and transparency. However, if there are any uncertainties regarding the use of various terms, the corresponding definitions can be viewed here.
3. legal basis for the processing of data
a) Processing of personal data in accordance with the GDPR
We only process your personal data, such as your surname and first name, your email address and IP address, etc., if there is a legal basis for doing so. According to the General Data Protection Regulation, the following regulations in particular come into consideration here:
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR: The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR: Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR: processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller
- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR: processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child
However, we will always point out the legal basis on which your personal data is processed at the relevant points in this privacy policy.
b) Consent of the legal guardians pursuant to Art. 8 para. 1 sentence 2 alt. 2 GDPR
A legal guardian must consent to all data processing on this website for which the consent of a minor who has not yet reached the age of 16 is required.
Information on the individual data processing operations, their purposes and the categories of data concerned, for which the consent of the data subject is required, can be found in the privacy policy.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending a declaration of withdrawal in text form to the contact details of the controller. Processing will remain lawful until you withdraw your consent.
c) Processing of information pursuant to Section 25 (1) TDDDG
We also process information in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG by storing information on your terminal equipment or by accessing information that is already stored on your terminal equipment. This may involve both personal information and non-personal data, e.g. cookies, browser fingerprints, advertising IDs, MAC addresses and IMEI numbers. Terminal equipment is any equipment connected directly or indirectly to the interface of a public telecommunications network for sending, processing or receiving messages, Section 2 (2) No. 6 TDDDG.
As a rule, we process this information on the basis of your consent, Section 25 (1) TDDDG.
Insofar as an exception according to § 25 para. 2 no. 1 and no. 2 TDDDG is given, we do not require consent. Such an exception is given if we only access or store the information in order to transmit a message via a public telecommunications network or if this is absolutely necessary so that we can provide a telemedia service expressly requested by you. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
We inform you that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
4. disclosure of personal data
The disclosure of personal data also constitutes processing within the meaning of section 3 above. However, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you separately about the issue of disclosure to third parties. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we are particularly careful when it comes to passing on your data to third parties.
Data is therefore only passed on to third parties if there is a legal basis for the processing. For example, we pass on personal data to persons or companies who work for us as processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. A processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf – i.e. in particular in a relationship of instruction and control with us
In accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, we conclude a contract with each of our processors in order to oblige them to comply with data protection regulations and thus ensure comprehensive protection of your data.
5. storage period and deletion
Your personal data will be deleted by us if they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, if the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
6. SSL or TLS encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
7. use of AI systems (artificial intelligence)
In order to optimize our processes and improve your personalized visitor experience on our website, your personal data may be processed using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. AI is used in particular to:
- perform data analyses,
- forecasts,
- to close security gaps,
- and make routine processes more efficient.
The AI used works in accordance with the principles of the GDPR. Any decisions that have legal or similar effects on you are not made by the AI alone, but are supplemented by human intervention.
8. cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small data packets that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device when you visit our website. These cookies are used to store information in connection with the end device used.
When cookies are used, a distinction is made between technically necessary cookies and “other” cookies. Technically necessary cookies are those that are absolutely necessary in order to provide an information society service that you have expressly requested.
a) Technically necessary cookies
In order to make the use of our website more pleasant for you, we use technically necessary cookies, which may be so-called session cookies (e.g. language and font selection, shopping cart, etc.), consent cookies, cookies to ensure server stability and security or similar. The legal basis for the cookies results from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in the error-free operation of the website and the interest in providing you with our services in an optimized manner.
b) Other cookies
Other cookies include cookies for statistical, analytical, marketing and retargeting purposes.
We use these cookies for you on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time.
We inform you that the withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
To do this, you can either edit your cookie settings on our website, deactivate the use of cookies in your browser settings (whereby this may also restrict the functionality of the online offer) or set an opt-out for the corresponding service in individual cases.
We will inform you of the legal basis on which this data is processed for the respective services within the privacy policy.
9. cookie banner / consent management
Cookie consent and consent management
We use the CookieFirst consent management system (www.cookiefirst.com) to obtain and manage consent for cookies and similar technologies. CookieFirst is integrated via a script and stores the respective consent status of the user in a so-called consent cookie.
This consent cookie is technically necessary in order to fulfill legal obligations to provide evidence and to take consent into account accordingly. It is used on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR and § 25 Para. 2 No. 2 TDDDG.
For certain services of the Google/Alphabet Group (e.g. Google Analytics, Google Ads), we also use Google Consent Mode v2 in Basic Mode. This mode enables Google tags to dynamically adapt their functionality based on the consent status granted.
You can find details on Google Consent Mode directly from Google at:
https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/security/guides/consent?hl=de
10. collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of its use
a) External hosting
Our website is hosted by Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany.
For this reason, all personal data collected on our website is stored on the servers of our hoster, unless an external service of a third party is integrated.
This may include the IP address, your e-mail address, communication data or similar information.
You can find out which specific personal data is involved in the sections on the individual functions and services we use.
If we use external third-party services, this will be made clear in the relevant section.
The hoster processes your data exclusively on our instructions and only insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the service provision on the website.
The hoster does not process the data for its own purposes. We have concluded an order processing contract with Mittwald in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
b) When visiting the website
When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the retrieved file
- Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
- the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider
We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection to the website
- Ensuring a comfortable use of our website
- Evaluation of system security and stability
- Error analysis
- for further administrative purposes
Data that allows conclusions to be drawn about your person, such as the IP address, will be deleted after 7 days at the latest. If we store the data beyond this period, this data is pseudonymized so that it can no longer be assigned to you.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.
c) Cloudflare
On our website, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network (“CDN”) and the web firewall to defend against DDoS attacks from the technology service provider Cloudflare Inc, 101 Townsend St. San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (“Cloudflare”).
Cloudflare may process IP addresses, traffic routing information, system configuration and other information about traffic destined for or originating from websites.
For the CDN, the information transfer between the browser and our server is technically routed via the Cloudflare network so that we can optimize the loading speeds of our website. The web firewall is intended to prevent fraudulent transactions, unauthorized access to the services and other illegal activities.
The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient provision and improvement of the stability and functionality of our website.
We have concluded the standard contractual clauses (Data Processing Addendum) with Cloudflare.
Further information can be found in Cloudflare’s privacy policy at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/
d) Newsletter
Content of the newsletter and registration data
We will only send you our newsletter and carry out statistical surveys and analyses and log the registration process if you order it from us and have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, § 25 para.1 TDDDG.
The contents of the newsletter are described in detail when you register for the newsletter. To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. If you provide further voluntary information, such as your name and/or gender, this will be used exclusively to personalize the newsletter addressed to you.
Double opt-in and logging
For security reasons, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter so that no one can register with other people’s e-mail addresses. After registering for our newsletter, you will therefore first receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. Only when you confirm your registration will it become effective.
Furthermore, your registration for the newsletter will be logged. The logging includes the storage of the time of registration and confirmation, the data you provide and your IP address. If you make changes to your data, these changes will also be logged.
Revocation
If you no longer wish to receive our newsletter, you can revoke your consent at any time for the future. To do so, you can click on the unsubscribe link at the end of each newsletter or send us an email to the following email address: datenschutz@flexus.net
The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Use of “HubSpot”
The registration takes place with the help of the newsletter service “HubSpot”, which is offered by HubSpot Inc. (25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141 USA).
The e-mail addresses of our interested parties and also their other data described in this notice are stored on HubSpot’s servers in the USA. HubSpot uses this information to send and evaluate the participation links on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, HubSpot may use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the sending and presentation of the invitation or for economic purposes in order to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, HubSpot does not use the data of our interested parties to write to them itself or pass it on to third parties.
We have concluded the standard contractual clauses with HubSpot. HubSpot does not obtain the right to pass on your data.
You can find HubSpot’s privacy policy here.
e) Contact form
We provide you with a form on our website so that you have the opportunity to contact us at any time. To use the contact form, it is necessary to provide a name for a personal salutation and a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and can process it.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there and your IP address, will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b and f GDPR to carry out pre-contractual measures in response to your inquiry or to safeguard our legitimate interests, namely to carry out our business activities.
The requests and the associated data will be deleted no later than 3 months after receipt, unless they are required for a further contractual relationship.
f) Event pop-up/slide-in
When our website is called up, a page-wide pop-up or slide-in is displayed, which we use to draw attention to current events or offers. Users have the option of closing this pop-up. To save your decision, a cookie is set that prevents the pop-up from being displayed again for a period of 30 days.
The name of the cookie may vary, but its sole purpose is to store your preference regarding the display of this element. There is no link to personal data and the cookie does not contain any tracking functionality.
g) Application form
We provide you with a form on our website that you can use to apply for a job with us. Your personal data from the application will be processed in accordance with our data protection information for applicants.
The use of this form is based on our legitimate interest in a simple and secure transmission of your application documents, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use the provider Ninja Forms for this purpose.
h) Blog
As part of a blog post, other visitors to our website will see the date and time of the comment and your name as the author.
The legal basis here arises from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for the protection of legitimate interests, as the storage of this data is necessary for our security, as we can be prosecuted for illegal content on our website.
i) Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts on our website. This enables the display of fonts. Google Fonts is a service provided by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). These web fonts are integrated locally or via a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This may result in the following data being transmitted to the server and stored by Google:
- Name and version of the browser used
- Website from which the request was triggered (referrer URL)
- Operating system of your computer
- Screen resolution of your computer
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Language settings of the browser or operating system used by the user
You can find more information on data protection at Google and in relation to Google Fonts at:
https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy?hl=de

The use of Google Fonts serves to make it easier for you to read our website and to make it graphically more pleasant and is therefore based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
j) Use of Google Maps
Our website uses the Google Maps API. By using Google Maps, information about your use of this website (including your IP address) may be transferred to a Google server (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) in the USA and stored there.
Google may transfer the information obtained through Maps to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. However, under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with other Google data. Nevertheless, we must point out that it would be technically possible for Google to identify individual users on the basis of the data received.
We have no influence on whether your personal data and personality profiles are processed by Google for other purposes. If you want to avoid this in any case, you can deactivate the Google Maps service and thus prevent the transfer of data to Google. All you have to do is deactivate JavaScript in your browser. In this case, no data will be transferred, but you will no longer be able to use the map display on our website.
You can find the Google privacy policy here.[https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/?hl=de]
By integrating Google Maps, Google Fonts are also dynamically reloaded by Google without the website operator or visitor actively determining this. These web fonts are integrated by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This may result in the following data being transmitted to the server and stored by Google:
- Name and version of the browser used
- Website from which the request was triggered (referrer URL)
- Operating system of your computer
- Screen resolution of your computer
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Language settings of the browser or operating system used by the user
You can find more information in Google’s privacy policy, which you can access here:
www.google.com/policies/privacy/

k) Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. Google Tag Manager is an administration and management tool in which other tracking and/or statistics tools can be centrally managed and played out.
When you visit our website, Google Tag Manager collects and processes your IP address, which may also be transmitted to the USA. However, Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles or analyses.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google.
You can find the Google privacy policy here.[https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/?hl=de]
l) Google Photos

https://policies.google.com/privacy
https://safety.google/intl/de_de/photos
The use of Google Photos is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
m) jQuery
We use the JavScript library jQuery from the OpenJS Foundation (The OpenJS Foundation, 548 Market St. PMB 57274, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA) on our website. This is a collection of JavaScript programs and routines that offer versatile solutions to problems.
The JavaScript routines are provided via a connection to servers in the USA and downloaded from there.
Accordingly, it cannot be ruled out that the IP address of our website visitors will be processed by jQuery.
The use of jQuery is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, namely to ensure the functionality of the website and to be able to restore it as quickly and easily as possible in the event of a problem.
We have concluded a contract with jQuery for order processing or the SCC.

11. analysis and tracking tools
We use the analysis and tracking tools listed below on our website. These serve to ensure the continuous optimization of our website and to design it in line with requirements.
We use these tools on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing the cookie settings. Processing remains lawful until you withdraw your consent.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tools. We would like to point out that we have no influence on whether and to what extent the service providers carry out further data processing.
We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”).
- Name and version of the browser used
- Operating system of your computer
- Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Time of the server request
are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Your IP address is automatically anonymized by Google before it is recorded via EU domains and servers. There is therefore no logging or storage of your IP address.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

b) Google Ads conversion tracking
We use Google Ads, an online advertising program from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. Conversion tracking is also used. With this tool, Google Ads places a cookie on your device when you access our website via a Google ad.
The cookie is not used for personal traceability. If you visit our website as a user and the cookie is still working, we and Google will recognize that you clicked on the corresponding ad and were redirected to our site. A different cookie is assigned to each Google Ads customer. Cookies are therefore not traceable via the websites of Ads customers.
The data collected by conversion cookies is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers. As Google Ads customers, we learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then redirected to a website that was provided with a conversion tracking tag. This allows us to recognize the success of individual advertising measures. During this process, we do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify you as a user.
When using Google Ads, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server and, if you have a Google account and are logged into it, can assign the visit to your account. If you do not have a Google account, Google will assign you a unique identifier. We have no influence on what other data Google collects and stores.
We have implemented Google’s “extended conversions” function on our website. This means that data we collect ourselves, such as email address, name, address or telephone number, is recorded in conversion tracking tags. These are then sent to Google in hashed form, where they are used to match our existing customers with Google accounts. You can find more information about this function at https://ads.google.com/intl/de_de/home/privacy/solutions/enhanced-conversions-for-web/
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google.
You can find out more about Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
c) Google AdSense
We use the Google AdSense service from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website to integrate advertisements.
Google AdSense uses cookies. These are files that enable Google to analyze the data of your use of our website by storing them on your device. In addition, Google AdSense also uses web beacons, invisible graphics that enable Google to analyze clicks on our website, the traffic on it and similar information.
The information obtained via cookies and web beacons, your IP address and the delivery of advertising formats are transmitted to a Google server located in the USA and stored there. Google may pass this collected information on to third parties if this is required by law or if Google commissions third parties to process the data. However, Google will not merge your IP address with the other stored data.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

d) Hubspot
We work with the Hubspot CRM software from HubSpot Inc (25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA), which we use to manage our customer data and conduct online marketing. Among other things, landing pages are analyzed and reports are created for this purpose. Web beacons and cookies are used for this purpose. The following personal data may be processed in this context:
- IP address,
- geographical location,
- Type of browser,
- Duration of the visit,
- pages viewed,
- Visitor sources using Utm parameters.
As a rule, the IP address is processed on Hubspot’s European servers and only stored in a shortened version. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be transferred to a HubSpot server in the USA and shortened there.
We use the information collected to constantly optimize and improve our website and to make it more user-friendly for you. In addition, we use this information to analyze which of our company’s services are of interest to customers, users and newsletter subscribers in order to contact them for advertising purposes.
We have concluded the standard contractual clauses with HubSpot. HubSpot does not obtain the right to pass on your data.

e) LinkedIn conversion tracking
We use the conversion tracking function of LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) on our website.

We embed videos from YouTube, which is operated by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), into our website as part of iFrame and/or via a plug-in. When embedding the videos, we have activated YouTube’s extended data protection mode.
If you play a YouTube video during your visit, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. This allows YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website. In addition, YouTube sets various cookies when the service is started in order to improve the services it offers and to prevent misuse.
Further information on the handling of user data and the cookies set can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
By integrating YouTube, Google fonts are also dynamically loaded by Google without the website operator or visitor actively determining this. These web fonts are integrated by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This may result in the following data being transmitted to the server and stored by Google:
- Name and version of the browser used
- Website from which the request was triggered (referrer URL)
- Operating system of your computer
- Screen resolution of your computer
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Language settings of the browser or operating system used by the user

The legal basis results from the consent you have given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing the cookie setting on our website.
