3. GENERAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING
3.1 Scope of the processing of personal data
We only process the personal data of our users if this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only after the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons, and the processing of the data is permitted by law. For data processing, we also work together with external service providers with whom we have concluded corresponding data processing addendum contracts.
3.2 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 paras. 1 lit. an EU Data Protection Ordinance (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 paras. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If 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 first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 paras. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
3.3 Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, personal data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. The personal data will also be blocked or deleted 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 fulfillment of a contract.
4. PROVIDING THE WEBSITE AND CREATING LOGFILES

Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
- Information about the browser type and version used.
- The user's operating system
- The user's Internet service provider
- The IP address of the user
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user's system reaches our website
- Websites are accessed by the user's system through our website.
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
4.2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
4.3 Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
Our legitimate interest in the data processing pursuant to Art. 6 paras. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.
4.4 Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
4.5 Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

We process personal data concerning you to the required extent in order to prevent any legal claims arising from the application process from being asserted against us.

Your personal data is generally only shared within CoreMedia. Furthermore, personal data may be forwarded to third parties provided that statutory provisions or enforceable regulatory or official orders oblige CoreMedia to do so.

10.7. Transmitting data to countries outside of the EEA

11. WEB ANALYTICS BY GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use the Google Analytics service of the provider Google Ireland Limited (Google Ireland/EU) on our website.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service that allows us to collect and analyze data about the behavior of visitors to our website. For this purpose, Google Analytics uses cookies which enable an analysis of the use of our website. This involves the processing of personal data in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers and information about the interaction with our website.
Partly, this data is information stored in the end device you are using. In addition, the cookies used are used to store additional information on your device. Such data by Google Analytics or access to information already stored in your device will only take place with your consent.
Google Ireland will process the data thus collected on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of our website by the users, to compile reports on the activities within our website and to provide us with further services related to the use of our website and the internet. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles can be created from the processed data.
The setting of cookies and the further processing of personal data as described here takes place with your consent. The legal basis for the data processing in connection with the Google Analytics service is therefore Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future in our Consent Management.
The personal data processed on our behalf to provide Google Analytics may be transferred to any country in which Google Ireland or Google's Ireland sub-processors maintain facilities. The legal basis for this transfer are the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the users is shortened by Google Ireland within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data.
We use the Google Universal Analytics variant. This allows us to assign interaction data from different devices and from different sessions to a unique user ID. This allows us to put individual user actions in context and analyze long-term relationships.
Data on user actions are stored for a period of 14 months and then automatically deleted. The deletion of data for which the storage period has expired takes place automatically once a month.
We also use the Google Analytics advertising functions (remarketing). This function enables us, in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google, to display advertisements in a more targeted manner and to present users with ads that are tailored to their interests. Via remarketing, users are shown ads and products for which interest has been identified on other websites in the Google network. The function allows us to link advertising target groups created via Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google Ads or Google AdSense. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to a user depending on previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another end device of the user (e.g. tablet or PC).
We also use the "demographic characteristics and interests" function from Google. This provides us with generic information such as age, gender and consumer interests about our website visitors and use this information for our advertising activities via the Google network. For this purpose, Google Analytics collects and records information from various data sources, such as the DoubleClick cookie (web activity) or the Android or iOS advertising-ID (app activity).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be served on every device on which you log in with your Google account. The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google. For these linked services, data is then collected via Google Analytics for advertising purposes. To support the remarketing function, Google Analytics collects users' google-authenticated IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data. This is used to define and create target groups for cross-device ad advertising.
You can also prevent the collection of information generated by the cookie by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

12.2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.
If registration serves the fulfillment of a contract to which the user is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
12.3 Purpose of data processing
The processing of the personal data from the chatbot serves us for the treatment of the establishment of contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
12.4 Duration of storage
The data will be deleted after a maximum of 24 months.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
12.5 Possibility of objection and removal
The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
To do so, you can contact us by e-mail at info@coremedia.com.
All personal data stored in the course of using the Chatbot will be deleted in this case.
13. Data Processing through Social Networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below. Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads).
When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail: If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way, you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in terms of the use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
13.1 Legal Basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g.consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
13.2 Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can, in principle, protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability, and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
13.3 Storage time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems. As soon as you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular, retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

We use the LinkedIn Insight tag on our website, a marketing product of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Ireland/EU). For information on the contact details of LinkedIn Ireland and the contact details of the data protection officer of LinkedIn Ireland, please refer to LinkedIn's data policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
The LinkedIn Insight tag is a JavaScript code snippet that is triggered by LinkedIn when you visit our website and stores a cookie on the device you are using. Such storage of information by the LinkedIn Insight tag or access to information already stored in your terminal device and also further processing of personal data in connection with the LinkedIn Insight tag will only take place with your consent. The legal basis for the collection and transmission of personal data by us to LinkedIn Ireland is, therefore, Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
Via the LinkedIn Insight tag, we can perform various functions, which we describe in detail below.
LinkedIn conversion tracking is an analytics function supported by the LinkedIn Insight Tag. The LinkedIn Insight tag allows us to collect data about visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent), and timestamp. IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach members across devices) hashed. LinkedIn does not provide us with personally identifiable information, but only provides reports (in which you are not identified) on-site audience and ad performance. This allows us to track the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads for statistical and market research purposes.
Members' direct identifiers are removed by LinkedIn within seven days to pseudonymize the data. LinkedIn then deletes this remaining pseudonymized data within 180 days.
This processing is done for the purpose of obtaining information about our website audience and a report on the effectiveness of LinkedIn campaigns.
We also use the Matched Audiences service to target our advertising campaigns to specific audiences. Through LinkedIn Matched Audiences and related data integrations, we can target advertising to specific audiences based on data we provide to LinkedIn (e.g., company lists, hashed contact information, device identifiers, or event data such as websites visited).
This processing is done for the purpose of marketing our offers via the targeted playout of advertising.
We have a joint controller agreement with LinkedIn, which sets out the distribution of data protection obligations between us and LinkedIn. We will be happy to provide you with the document upon request.
Please note that according to the LinkedIn Privacy Policy, personal data is also processed by LinkedIn in the USA or other third countries. LinkedIn’s data protection guidelines.
