§ 8 Google Tag Manager
(1) We use Tag Manager from Google for the centralized configuration and administration of data collection. With the help of this tool, we organize the scripts used on our page and check when they are executed. As a cookie-less domain that does not collect personal data, Google Tag Manager triggers other tags that collect data under certain circumstances. These data are passed on but not stored. If the user deactivates tracking at the cookie level, then this deactivation remains valid for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
(2) Our legitimate interest is our economic business and the user friendliness of our website, and is based on Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f, of the GDPR. Google offers more information about data protection with Tag Manager at: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/9323295?hl=en&ref_topic=3441532, https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6102821?hl=en, https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/7207086?hl=en.
§ 9 Google reCAPTCHA
(1) We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
(2) The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to determine whether data entered on our websites (e.g., information entered into a contact form) is being provided by a human or by an automated program. To determine this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors based on a variety of parameters. This analysis begins automatically as soon as a website visitor enters the site. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data (e.g., IP address, the visit duration of the visitor on the website, or cursor movements executed by the user). The data tracked during such analyses are forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not alerted that an analysis is underway.
(3) This data processing is performed on the basis of your consent that you grant when opening the contact form through the cookie banner, in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a, of the GDPR.
(4) Within the scope of use of reCAPTCHA, data may be sent to Google. For this purpose, we have concluded an order processing contract with Google. Google LLC, domiciled in California, United States, and, if applicable, U.S. authorities can access the data stored at Google. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and the Google privacy policy, visit the following links: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
§ 10 Online presence on social media sites and portals
(1) We maintain an online presence on the social networks and platforms stated below (e.g., employer evaluation portals). These social networks are operated solely by the respective provider. This online presence serves to facilitate communication with customers, potential customers, and users, and serves advertising and market research purposes. If you contact us through our social media channels, then we will process the data that you make available to us, as well as the data that are required in order to process the query (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter b, of the GDPR). The processing of further data is performed in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f, of the GDPR based on a legitimate interest in direct communication with users and in the optimization of the design of our online presence. If you grant your consent to the operators of the respective social media platforms (e.g., via an opt-in checkbox), then processing will be performed in accordance with Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter a, of the GDPR. At any time, you can withdraw your consent from the provider of the respective platform with future effect.
(2) When you open our social media pages, your user data will be recorded and provided to us by the provider. The exact types of data differ from provider to provider but usually encompass the following information:
- Followers: Number of followers and stored profiles; information about increases and progress over a defined period.
- Reach: Number of persons who see a specific post; number of interactions for a post. Based on this information, it can be determined which content is more popular in the community than other content.
- Ad performance: How many people were reached by a post or a paid ad, and how many have interacted with it?
- Demographics: Average age of the visitor, as well as gender, place of residence, language.
(3) Because our social media channels are operated by the providers of the respective social networks, these providers may potentially use your personal data. We have no influence over this usage. This often involves the recording of your IP address, the creation of statistical evaluations, and the processing of further information that is stored in the form of cookies. These data are also often used to show you interest-related advertisements both on and outside of the platform. As a profile operator, we have no influence on advertisement generation or appearance and can neither deactivate this function nor prevent this processing of data.
(4) The assertion of rights of data subjects and the request of information can most effectively be made directly with the providers of the platforms because they alone have access to your data and can take immediate action. If our cooperation is required for this, then we will support you as needed in enforcing your rights as a data subject.
(5) The providers of the networks we use are listed below. If data processing is performed outside of the EU, we have taken the necessary measures to maintain the level of data protection (generally through conclusion of the EU standard data protection clauses). For more information about the terms of use and data protection of the respective platforms, as well as detailed information regarding further data processing and the respective possibilities for objection, refer to the pages of the providers at:
