Collection and Processing of Personal Data
In principle, you can use our online offering without disclosing your identity. If we query personal data on the web presence, e.g. as part of contact forms or when you log in or register (such as name, address or e-mail address), this is principally done on a voluntary basis.
By sending this information to us, you agree that it may be used for own business purposes (dispatch of the requested mate-rials/information, processing for advertising and market research purposes), unless you objected to this option. You may withdraw with us your consent once given us at any time with effect for the future.
The legal basis for these processing operations is your consent based on point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. You may withdraw with us your consent voluntarily given us at any time with effect for the future. As long as you do not withdraw your consent, we process your data for these purposes.
Forwarding of the Data

To operate the website, we deploy a processor who, however, was obligated by contract in compliance with data protection law and must not use the data for own purposes.

Analysis by WiredMinds
Our website uses counting pixel technology provided by WiredMinds GmbH (www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior. In connection with this, the IP address of the visitor is processed. The processing occurs only for the purpose of collecting company based information such as company name, for example. IP addresses of natural persons are excluded from any further processing by means of a whitelist. An IP address is not stored in LeadLab under any circumstances. While processing data, it is our outmost interest to protect the rights of natural persons. Our interest in processing data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. At no time is it possible to draw conclusions from the collected data on an identifiable person. WiredMinds GmbH uses this information to create anonymized usage profiles of the visit behavior on our website. Data obtained during this process is not used to personally identify visitors of our website.
Opt-Out: Exclude from tracking (A functionally necessary cookie will be set to permanently ensure no tracking by WiredMinds LeadLab occurs on this website)
Our website contains links to the Facebook website. The pages are operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland). Instead of using Facebook plug-ins, we decided to only link to Facebook to ensure that personal data concerning you will not be automatically transferred to Facebook when you visit our website. This technical solution also prevents that related personal data concerning you is automatically processed by us. These links also mean that Facebook will not process your personal data until you actively click on the Facebook button. Where you have already been logged into your Facebook account when accessing our web presence, however, Facebook will already process at least information on which of our web pages you have visited at what time and with what browser using your IP address. Where legally required or to the extent that third parties process such data on behalf of Facebook, Facebook will transmit this information to third parties, e.g. US authorities, where appropriate. We do not have any influence on the nature and extent of your personal data processed by Facebook.
We will not collect personal data concerning you via Facebook until you become active and disclose your personal data on our Facebook fan page jointly controlled by Facebook and us. By indicating data on our Facebook page, you give us your consent to process this data under point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.
Further information on the handling of your data can be found in the Facebook Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy [external page].
Our website contains links to the LinkedIn website. The pages are operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. Instead of using plug-ins, we only link to LinkedIn. When you visit our website, your personal data will hence not be automatically transferred to LinkedIn. These links mean that LinkedIn will not process your personal data until you actively click on the LinkedIn button. Where legally required or to the extent that third parties process such data on behalf of LinkedIn, LinkedIn transmits this information to third parties, e.g. US authorities, where appropriate. We do not have any influence on the nature and extent of your personal data processed by LinkedIn.
