ANALYSIS TOOLS, ADVERTISING, AND LEAD GENERATION GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses “Google Analytics,” a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze website usage by users. The service uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected through cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymization is activated on this website. The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

GOOGLE reCAPTCHA
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”).
reCAPTCHA is used to determine whether data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, duration of the website visitor’s stay on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
The data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting their web offerings from abusive automated spying and spam.

LINKEDIN LEAD GENERATION
We also use the services of so-called lead generation tools. Lead generation is a term from marketing. A lead is a qualified prospect who is interested in a company or product and voluntarily provides the advertiser with their address and similar contact information (lead = data record) for further dialogue, thereby likely becoming a customer. Generating high-quality leads is a fundamental task for acquiring new customers. Address data of potential prospects can be generated online and offline with precise targeting, and this is also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
We use the “LinkedIn Lead Generation” service. LinkedIn uses forms for lead generation, and functions and content of the LinkedIn service provided by LinkedIn AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany, can be integrated and offered. If users are members of the LinkedIn platform, LinkedIn can associate the call of the aforementioned content and functions with the users’ profiles on LinkedIn.
If LinkedIn processes data in the United States, it is based on EU standard contractual clauses, which provide adequate safeguards within the meaning of Art. 46(1), (2)(c) of the GDPR.
In this context, we also use LinkedIn’s lead generation tools.
