II. General information on data processing
1. Scope and purpose of the processing of personal data
We collect and use our users' personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent (where required by law). An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons or where the processing of the data is permitted by other legal bases in accordance with the applicable data protection law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law serve as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law serve as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law serve as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law serve as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
III.Consent Management
1. description and scope of data processing
We use the consent management service of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich (hereinafter "Usercentrics"). Our Usercentrics consent tool is played out via the Google Tag Manager. For this reason, the Google Tag Manager is activated as an essential cookie (unselectable) (first level) when you first visit our website. Only if you activate a cookie requiring consent through your express consent in our consent tool Usercentrics will the Google Tag Manager establish a connection to this cookie and load the corresponding cookie - see IV. Use of the Google Tag Manager.
When our website is accessed, the Usercentrics system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected by or through the use of the service:
- Opt-in and opt-out data
- Referrer URL
- User Agent
- User settings
- Consent ID
- Time of consent
- Consent type
- Template version
- Banner language
2. legal basis for data processing
Due to the legal obligation for data processing requiring consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law.
3. purpose of data processing
The service is used to manage consents. This serves to comply with legal obligations, according to which data processing requiring consent may only be carried out via the website if the corresponding consent of the user has been obtained. The Usercentrics service is used to store the consent obtained and to manage it. This also applies in the event that consent is withdrawn.
Usercentrics is used as a processor. We have therefore concluded a Data Processing Agreement with Usercentrics in accordance with the legal requirements.
4. duration of storage; possibility of objection and removal
The retention period is the period of time during which the collected data is stored for processing. The data must be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the specified processing purposes.
The consent data (consent given and revocation of consent) will be stored for three years. The data will then be deleted immediately.
The collection and storage of data is required by law for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
You can find the data protection provisions of the data processor here: https://usercentrics.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung/
IV. USE OF THE GOOGLE TAG MANAGER
1. description and scope of the processing of personal data
This website uses Google Tag Manager. This is a tool that allows marketers to manage their website tags via an interface. A tag manager itself, which implements the tags, is a service that can collect personal data by setting cookies. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data.
We use Google Tag Manager on two levels when you visit our website. Initially, when you access our website, Google Tag Manager is activated as an essential cookie (unselectable) (first level). At this stage, however, it only serves the function of playing our cookie consent tool Usercentrics - see III. - which gives you the opportunity to decide on the activation of the various cookies used on our website. Up to this point, the web tracking functions of the Google Tag Manager are deactivated and at this stage it only serves as an administration or activation tool for Usercentrics.
Only at the second level do we manage and activate further cookies via the Google Tag Manager, which require your consent. Only if you activate a cookie requiring consent by giving your express consent in our consent tool Usercentrics will the Google Tag Manager establish a connection to that cookie and load the corresponding cookie. Until such activation, the web tracking functions of the Google Tag Manager also remain deactivated.
2. purpose and legal basis of the processing of personal data
The purpose of using Google Tag Manager is to be able to manage third-party tags in an organised manner and also to be able to implement your selection of activated technologies accordingly. We have a legitimate interest in this, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If you activate additional services in our consent tool Usercentrics, their processing is based on your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR
3. duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal
The Google Tag Manager itself triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can find more information here: Google Tag Manager Use Policy | Google Tag Manager - Google
When the Google Tag Manager is activated, a connection to Google is established. In this respect, we would like to point out that we have no influence on the storage of your data by Google. We have also concluded a Data Processing Agreement with Google for this purpose.
The storage of your data also depends on the respective storage period of the tools activated by the Google Tag Manager.
You cannot activate the Google Tag Manager yourself, as it manages and plays out technologies that are essential for the operation of the website and is therefore itself an essential technology of our website.
If tools requiring consent are used by Google Tag Manager, their use can be eliminated by deactivating the respective activity.
4. disclosure of personal data
Information from the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

In this respect, we would also like to point out that we cannot rule out the transfer of data to the USA (to Google LLC based in the USA) in this context. However, since the adequacy decision between the EU and the USA, the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which has been in force since 10 July 2023, the USA has been certified as having an equivalent level of data protection to the EU insofar as the company receiving the data in the USA is certified in accordance with the requirements of the DPF, which is the case for Google LLC (see positive proof in the list of the US Department of Commerce).

VII. CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)
1. Description of data processing
Selected data is transferred via an interface to our Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) of the SAP Sales Cloud of SAP Deutschland SE & Co. KG. The source of this data is, for example
· If you decide to use one of our services via HubSpot, e.g. e-mailings, blogs, whitepapers or contact forms
· If you decide to be included in our CRM system via your business card or a personal exchange during a trade fair, event or other contact.
Before the transfer takes place, a filter is applied so that only contacts with commercial relevance as customer contacts are transferred to our CRM system.
The following contacts are not transferred to the CRM system:
· Contacts with the job positions student, trainee, intern or similar.
· Contacts with e-mail addresses from free domains such as gmx, web, t-online or similar.
· Contacts with e-mail addresses of the EDAG domain

- First name
- Surname
- The company
- Job title
- E-mail address
- Language
- Telephone number (optional)
- Registration date
- Portfolio

identified when the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our
website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page
change. The following data is stored and
transmitted in the cookies:
(1) The IP
address of the user
(2) Date and time of access
(3) Log-in information

When accessing our website, the user
is informed about the use of functional cookies as well as cookies for analysis
and marketing purposes and his consent to the processing of the personal data
used in this context is obtained using a cookie consent manager (Usercentrics,
see point III.). In this context, reference is also made to this privacy
policy.
In the Cookie Consent Manager, you will also find detailed information on how
the individual cookies work, information on the duration of their function and
information on whether third parties have access to these cookies. You can

footer of our website.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using functional cookies as well as cookies for analysis and marketing purposes is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR together with the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law.
3. Purpose of data processing
We divide cookies into the following categories depending on their purpose and function:
a) Technically necessary cookies
Technically necessary cookies guarantee functions without which our website cannot be used as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore first party cookies. This means that all information stored in the cookies is sent back to our website. Technically necessary cookies are used, for example, to ensure that logged-in users always remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website and therefore do not have to re-enter login data each time they access a new page.
The use of technically necessary cookies on our website is possible and permitted without consent. For this reason, technically necessary cookies cannot be deactivated or activated individually. For these purposes, our legitimate interest also lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest in the technically smooth provision of our website and the services offered through it outweighs this interest.
b) Functional cookies
Functional cookies enable our website to save information that has already been entered (such as registered name, language selection or the location where the user is located) and to offer improved and more personalised functions based on this. These cookies only collect and store data in such a way that user behaviour on other websites cannot be tracked.
c) Performance cookies
Performance
cookies collect aggregated information about how our website is used in order
to improve its attractiveness, content and functionality. These cookies help us
to determine whether, which, how often and for how long subpages of our website
are visited and what content users are particularly interested in.
These cookies do not store any information that allows the user to be
identified. The information collected is aggregated and does not allow us to
draw any direct conclusions about the individual person. They are used solely
to compile statistics in order to tailor the content of our website more
specifically to the needs of our users, improve the user experience and
optimise our offering.
d) Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies originate from external advertising companies (third party cookies) and are used to collect information about the websites visited by the user in order to create target group-orientated advertising for the user and to display advertisements based on the user's interests. They are also used to limit the frequency with which an advert appears and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. This information can be shared with third parties, e.g. advertisers.
4. Duration of storage, objection and removal options
Cookies
are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a
user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies.
You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time with effect for
the future. Please use one of the following options to do so:
- You inform us that you wish to withdraw your consent or change your settings in our Cookie Consent Manager, which can be accessed at any time via the website.
- You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
- Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time in your settings. This can also be done automatically.
- You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the respective cookie and related to your use of our websites (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by downloading and installing the plugin available for your browser.
- You can also manage marketing cookies using the tools developed in many countries as part of self-regulation programmes, such as https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices (EU).
5. Disclosure of personal data
By accepting the functional cookies that go beyond the technically necessary cookies as well as cookies for analysis and advertising purposes, you also consent to your data being processed in the USA in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law if there is no adequate level of data protection.
In this respect, there is no comparable level of data protection in the USA as in Europe if the company receiving the data is not certified in accordance with the adequacy decision between the EU and the USA, the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which has been in force since 10 July 2023. In particular, it is possible that government agencies may access personal data without us or you being aware of this. Legal action may not be successful. We transfer personal data to third countries when using cookies in this case on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses in order to establish an equivalent level of data protection, if necessary. You can find more information here:
Insofar as the company receiving the data is certified in accordance with the applicable adequacy decision between the EU and the USA, the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU is attested in this respect and the data processing is based on the Data Privacy Framework.

The purpose of using the web analysis service is to be able to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.
For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, the adequacy decision between the EU and the USA, the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), has applied since 10 July 2023. The USA is certified as having an equivalent level of data protection to the EU insofar as the company receiving the data in the USA is certified in accordance with the requirements of the DPF, which is the case for Google LLC (see positive proof in the list of the US Department of Commerce).
4. Duration of storage, objection and removal options
The data sent by Google and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. According to Google, the deletion of data, whose retention period has been reached, takes place automatically once a month. We would like to point out that we have no influence on the duration of storage by Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must opt out on all systems used. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: ga-optout text="Deactivate Google Analytics"
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymiseIp()". This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
(4) the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
(6) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
(7) all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
(8) the existence of automated decision-making including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and the analogous provisions under applicable data protection law and - at least in these cases - meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.
You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law in connection with the transfer.
2. right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if
the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The
controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
3. right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the
processing of your personal data:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data
concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of
the personal data
(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data
and request the restriction of their use instead
(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the
processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims; or
(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and the
analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law and it is not yet
certain whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent (where required by law) or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law.
(4) The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
(5) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
(6) The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR and the analogous provisions under applicable data protection law.
b) Information to third parties
Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary
(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR and the analogous provisions in accordance with the applicable data protection law, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
(5) for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
5. right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of
processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all
recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this
rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this
proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the controller.
6. right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have
provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable
format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller
without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been
provided, where
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and the
analogous provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law or on a
contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and the analogous
provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation,
at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR and the analogous provisions under
the applicable data protection law; this also applies to profiling based on
these provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law - to exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under
data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data
protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the
lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. automated decision-making in individual cases,
including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated
processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or
similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a
contract between you and the controller
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is
subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and
freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g and the analogous provisions pursuant to the applicable data protection law apply and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
10. right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory
authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the
right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the
Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged
infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to
you infringes the GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data
protection law.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR and the analogous provisions under the applicable data protection law.
