3. Tools for website analysis
3.1 Use of Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is used to manage so-called website tags via an interface. This means that we can use it to centrally integrate and control code snippets (e.g. for analysis or marketing tools). Google Tag Manager itself does not collect any personal data from website visitors. It merely triggers other tags, which in turn can collect data. However, this data is not stored or evaluated by Google Tag Manager.
a) Legal basis for processing
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR – namely the efficient, technically clean integration and management of tracking and analysis tools.
b) Further information
Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
3.2 Use of Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, on our website.
Google Analytics enables us to analyse the behaviour of visitors to our website. Cookies are set to recognise returning users and to compile statistical data about website activity. This information helps us to improve our website and make it more user-friendly.
a) Data collected
- IP address (usually anonymised within the EU)
- Usage data (pages accessed, length of stay, interactions)
- Device and browser information
b) Anonymisation of the IP address
We have activated IP anonymisation (‘anonymizeIp’).
This shortens the IP address of visitors within the European Union or the EEA before it is transmitted to Google. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to servers in the USA and truncated there.
c) Legal basis for processing
The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), which is obtained via the cookie consent banner. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
d) Recipient
The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited as the processor. A contract for order processing has been concluded with Google in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU standard contractual clauses.
e) Storage period
The stored data is automatically deleted after 14 months.
f) Opt-out option
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link:
Deactivate Google Analytics
Further information can be found at:

The aim is to facilitate contact with potential business customers and to improve our B2B marketing in a targeted manner.

b) Legal basis for processing
Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
Our legitimate interest lies in optimising our website and targeting B2B contacts.
c) Storage period
The data is only stored for as long as it is necessary for the analysis and evaluation of the website visit.
It is then deleted or anonymised.
d) Cookies
Leadinfo sets two so-called first-party cookies. These are used exclusively to recognise company visits and do not contain any personal data.
e) Order processing
A contract for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded with Leadinfo B.V.
Processing takes place exclusively within the European Union.
f) Right to object and opt out

We integrate the etracker analytics suite service provided by etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany, in the “anonymous tracking” setting on our website.

If the cookie banner is not displayed, please delete all cookies in your browser settings and reload our website.
Right of withdrawal:
You can withdraw your consent without stating reasons and with effect for the future. To do this, you can either delete your cookies and use the cookie banner to select your preferences again or change them by means of a subsequent opt-out (see below: privacy settings).
c) Storage period
The data set out above will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. If you have consented to processing, a so-called first-party cookie with a lifespan of 13 months will be stored on your device.

4.2 YouTube
a) Description and scope of data processing
We have embedded YouTube videos from the “YouTube” service operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland on our website. The videos are stored at https://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. The videos are all embedded in “enhanced privacy mode”, which means that no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. When you play the videos, the information set out below is transferred. We have no influence over this data transfer.
When you watch an embedded video, YouTube is informed that you have visited the page in question on our website. In addition, the data set out in section 2.1 of this data privacy statement is sent to YouTube. This happens regardless of whether you have a YouTube user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data is assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the data to be assigned to your profile on YouTube, you will need to log out before playing the video.
YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-based presentation of its website. Analysis of this kind is used in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact YouTube if you want to exercise that right.
Google Ireland Limited is responsible for further data processing. You can find further information about data processing at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=gb&gl=en

5. Our social media channels
a) Description and scope of data processing
We maintain a presence on various social networks with a view to offering you information about us, showcasing our company and communicating with active users.
We do not process any personal data via the social network image logos embedded on our homepage. An active click on the logos is required to enable the background link for direct forwarding to our online presence on each of the social networks. Each of the networks process personal data when you visit them. You will find links for your information below to the privacy policies of each of the networks we use.
We would like to point out here that the data of users of social networks are usually processed by the networks for market research and advertising purposes. User profiles can be created on the basis of user behaviour. These can be used for example to serve ads, including outside the network in question.
Please also note that when you use social networks, data may be processed outside the European Union. This can entail risks for you, such as making it more difficult to assert your legal rights.
You will find a detailed description of the forms of processing and how to object (opt-out) in each case in the data privacy statements and other information provided by the operators of the networks. The most effective way to request information and assert your rights as a data subject is also with the operators themselves.

When social networks provide us with statistical information about visitors to our company website, they do so in aggregated form (summarised, anonymised), and it is not possible for us to use it to identify individual users or access individual user profiles.
c) Purpose and legal basis of data processing
The presence of our company on the following social media channels allows us to share our public image more comprehensively. It also allows us to provide information about our work and contact you directly.
