This privacy policy also applies to our websites and social media profiles. With regard to the definition of terms such as "personal data" or "processing", we refer to Art. 4 GDPR.

Types of data, purposes of processing and categories of data subjects
Below we inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data.

Types of data that we process:
Inventory data (name, address, etc.), content data (text entries, videos, photos, etc.),

Purposes of processing in accordance with Art. 13 (1) c) GDPR:
Optimize website technically and economically, optimize and statistically evaluate our services, improve user experience, make website user-friendly, customer service and customer care, handle contact requests, provide websites with functions and content, uninterrupted, secure operation of our website,

Categories of data subjects pursuant to Art. 13 (1) e) GDPR:
Visitors/users of the website, customers, interested parties, employees. The data subjects are collectively referred to as "users".


Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Below we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:

If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh this, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors
We do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. Should this nevertheless be the case, the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers to fulfill a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to hand over the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights. We also use processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We select our processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken suitable technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and GDPR. An order processing contract is in place with all service providers who come into contact with personal data.

Data transfer to third countries
The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore primarily processed by companies to which the GDPR applies. However, if processing is carried out by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these must fulfill the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR must be met. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission's officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". In the case of US companies, submission to the so-called "Privacy Shield", the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfills these requirements.

Deletion of data and storage duration
Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes or this is contrary to statutory retention obligations. This includes, for example, commercial law retention obligations for business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax law retention obligations for documents in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless the storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Existence of automated decision-making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Provision of our website and creation of log files
If you only use our website for information purposes (i.e. no registration and no other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data:

• IP address;
• Internet service provider of the user;
• Date and time of retrieval;
• Browser type;
• Language and browser version;
• Content of the retrieval; 
• Time zone;
• Access status/HTTP status code;
• Amount of data;
• Websites from which the request comes;
• Operating system;

This data is not stored together with your other personal data.

This data serves the purpose of user-friendly, functional and secure delivery of our website to you with functions and content as well as their optimization and statistical evaluation.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.

For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a storage period of 10 days. After this period, they are automatically deleted, unless we need to retain them for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.

Cookies
We use so-called cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser places and stores on your computer. When you visit our website again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way serves the purpose of optimizing our website technically and economically and enabling you to access our website more easily and securely. When you visit our website, we inform you about the use of cookies for the aforementioned purposes and how you can object to them or prevent their storage ("opt-out") by means of a reference to our privacy policy. Our website uses session cookies, persistent cookies and third-party cookies:

Session cookies: We use so-called cookies to recognize multiple uses of an offer by the same user (e.g. if you have logged in to determine your login status). When you visit our site again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and make it easier for you to access our site. When you close the browser or log out, the session cookies are deleted.

Persistent cookies: These are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

Cookies from third-party providers (third-party cookies): You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website. Read more about these cookies in the respective privacy policies of the third-party providers.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence b) GDPR if the cookies are set to initiate a contract, e.g. for orders, and otherwise we have a legitimate interest in the effective functionality of the website, so that in this case Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.

Objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard disk by selecting "Do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may limit the functionality of our offers. You can object to the use of cookies from third-party providers for advertising purposes via a so-called "opt-out" via this American website (https://optout.aboutads.info) or this European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/).

Processing of contracts
We process inventory data (e.g. company, title/academic degree, names and addresses as well as contact data of users, e-mail), contract data (e.g. services used, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations (knowledge of who the contractual partner is; justification, content and execution of the contract; checking the plausibility of the data) and services (e.g. contacting customer service) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.

This data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims (e.g. transfer to a lawyer for debt collection) or to fulfill the contract (e.g. transfer of data to payment providers) or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR.

We may also process the data you provide in order to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you e-mails with technical information.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for inventory and contract data when the data is no longer required for the performance of the contract and no more claims can be asserted under the contract because they are time-barred (warranty: two years / standard limitation period: three years). Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, we will restrict processing after three years if the contract is terminated, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. Information in the user account remains until it is deleted.

Contact via contact form / e-mail / fax / post
When contacting us by contact form, fax, post or e-mail, your data will be processed for the purpose of handling the contact request.

If you have given your consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of a contact request or e-mail, letter or fax is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The controller has a legitimate interest in the processing and storage of the data in order to be able to answer user inquiries, to preserve evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, to comply with its statutory retention obligations for business letters. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.

We may store your details and contact request in our Customer Relationship Management System ("CRM System") or a comparable system.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. We store inquiries from users who have an account or contract with us for a period of two years after termination of the contract. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiry: end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.

Contact by telephone
When you contact us by telephone, your telephone number will be processed and temporarily stored or displayed in the RAM / cache of the telephone device / display in order to process the contact request and its handling. The storage takes place for liability and security reasons in order to be able to provide proof of the call and for economic reasons in order to enable a callback. In the event of unauthorized advertising calls, we block the phone numbers.

The legal basis for the processing of the telephone number is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

The device cache stores the calls for 100 days and successively overwrites or deletes old data; when the device is disposed of, all data is deleted and the memory may be destroyed. Blocked telephone numbers are checked annually to see whether they need to be blocked.

You can prevent the telephone number from being displayed by calling with the telephone number suppressed.

Newsletter
You can subscribe to our newsletter with your voluntary consent by entering your e-mail address. Only this is mandatory. The provision of further data is voluntary and only serves the purpose of a personal approach. We use the so-called "double opt-in procedure" for registration. After registering with your e-mail address, you will receive an e-mail from us with a confirmation link to confirm your registration. If you click on this confirmation link, your e-mail will be added to the newsletter distribution list and stored for the purpose of sending e-mails. If you do not click on the confirmation link within hours, your registration data will be blocked and automatically deleted after 300 days.

We also log your IP address used for registration as well as the date and time of the double opt-in (registration and confirmation). The purpose of this storage is to comply with legal requirements regarding proof of your registration and to prevent misuse of your e-mail.

As part of your declaration of consent, the contents (e.g. advertised products/services, offers, advertising and topics) of the newsletter are specifically described.

When sending the newsletter, we evaluate your user behavior. The newsletters contain so-called "web beacons" or "tracking pixels", which are called up when the newsletter is opened. For the analysis, we link the web beacons to your email address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is only collected in pseudonymized form, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, and direct personal identification is excluded. We can use this data to determine whether and when you have opened the newsletter and which links in the newsletter have been clicked. This serves the purpose of optimizing and statistically evaluating our newsletter.

We use the above data to create a user profile in order to identify the reading habits and interests of our users and thus personalize the newsletter. If you have also carried out other actions on our website, we also link this data to this in order to adapt our newsletter content to your interests.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter, measuring success and storing the email is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 para. 2 no. 3 UWG and for logging the consent Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, as this serves our legitimate interest in legal provability.

You can object to tracking at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter. In this case, however, you will also stop receiving the newsletter. If you deactivate the display of images in your e-mail software, tracking is also not possible. However, this may have restrictions with regard to the functions of the newsletter and images contained therein will not be displayed.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time. You can revoke your consent by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter, sending an e-mail or sending a message to our contact details above. We will store your data for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, your data will only be stored anonymously for statistical purposes.


Google AdWords with conversion tracking
We use the "AdWords with Conversion Tracking" service (Google Ireland Limited, registration no.: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to draw attention to our website on third-party websites by means of advertisements. When you click on a Google ad from us, a cookie is stored in your browser, which is valid for about 30 days. If you then visit our website, we and Google can use the cookie to evaluate whether you have visited our website and which of our pages you have visited. Google compiles statistics on this. We do not know the full extent of the data processing. The data is also transferred to the USA and analyzed there. If you are logged in with a Google account, AdWords can assign the data to your account. If you do not wish this to happen, you must log out before visiting our website. This conversion tracking serves the purpose of analysis, optimization and the economic operation of our advertising and website.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our advertising and website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

You can object to or prevent the installation of cookies by Google in various ways:

• You can disable cookies in your browser by selecting the "Do not accept cookies" setting, which also includes third-party cookies;
• You can deactivate conversion tracking directly at Google via the link https://adssettings.google.com, although this setting will only be valid until you delete your cookies;
• You can deactivate the personalized ads of third-party providers participating in the "About Ads" advertising self-regulation initiative via the link http://optout.aboutads.info for US sites or for EU sites at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/, whereby this setting will only remain in effect until you delete all your cookies;
• You can permanently deactivate cookies by using a browser plug-in for Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer under the link https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996. This deactivation may mean that you will no longer be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.


Google Analytics
We have integrated the website analysis tool "Google Analytics" (Google Ireland Limited, Register No.: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website.

When you visit our website, Google places a cookie on your computer in order to analyze your use of our website. The data collected is transferred to the USA and stored there. If personal data is transferred to the USA, Google's certification in accordance with the Privacy Shield Agreement (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) provides a guarantee that European data protection law is complied with.

We have activated IP anonymization "anonymizeIP", which means that IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form. On this website, your IP address will therefore be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the controller. We have also activated the cross-device analysis of website visitors, which is carried out via a so-called user ID. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The use of Google Analytics serves the purpose of analyzing, optimizing and improving our website.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 36 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

Further information on the use of data by Google Analytics can be found here: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html (Terms of use for Analytics), https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de (Privacy policy for Analytics) and Google's privacy policy https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Objection and "opt-out": You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard disk by selecting "Do not accept cookies" in your browser settings. However, this may limit the functionality of our services. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plugin above, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking here [http://anker-alpen.de/j/cookies/settingsClick here. This click sets an "opt-out" cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website. This cookie only applies to our website and your current browser and only lasts until you delete your cookies. In this case, you would have to set the cookie again.

You can deactivate cross-device user analysis in your Google account under "My data > Personal data".


Google Maps
We have integrated maps from "Google Maps" (Google Ireland Limited, registration no.: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. This allows us to display the location of addresses and directions directly on our website in interactive maps and enables you to use this tool.

When you access our website, where Google Maps is integrated, a connection to Google's servers in the USA is established. Your IP address and location may be transmitted to Google. Google also receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page. This also takes place without a Google user account. If you are logged into your Google account, Google can assign the above data to your account. If you do not wish this to happen, you must log out of your Google account. Google creates user profiles from such data and uses this data for the purposes of advertising, market research or optimization of its websites.

The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.

You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles by Google. Therefore, please contact Google directly via the privacy policy below. You can opt out of advertising cookies here in your Google account: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

You can find more information on the use of Google cookies and their advertising technologies, storage duration, anonymization, location data, how they work and your rights in the Google Maps terms of use at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html and in Google's privacy policy for advertising at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Google's general privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Google is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) and is therefore obliged to comply with European data protection law.


Data protection for applications and in the application process
Applications that are sent to the controller electronically or by post are processed electronically or manually for the purpose of handling the application process.

We expressly point out that application documents with "special categories of personal data" according to Art. 9 GDPR (e.g. a photo that gives conclusions about your ethnic origin, religion or marital status), with the exception of a possible severe disability, which you wish to disclose of your own free will, are undesirable. You should submit your application without this data. This will have no effect on your chances of applying.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR and § 26 BDSG n.F.

If an employment relationship is entered into with the applicant after completion of the application process, the applicant data will be stored in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. If you are not offered a position after completion of the application process, your submitted application letter and documents will be deleted 6 months after the rejection is sent in order to be able to meet any claims and obligations to provide evidence under the AGG.


Rights of the data subject
Objection or revocation against the processing of your data Insofar as the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, you can object to the processing. This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, which is described by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing. You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can exercise your right to object free of charge. You can inform us of your objection to advertising using the following contact details:

The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the site visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal references. The extension shortens the IP address of Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the relevant browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC. offers a guarantee to comply with an appropriate level of data protection on the basis of the standard contractual clauses. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (Google) to protect your requests via the Internet form. The query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. The deviating data protection provisions of Google apply to this data.
