Cooperation with processors and third parties
If in the framework of our processing procedure personal data are disclosed vis-á-vis other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transferred to these or if access to these information is given in any other way, this will take place only on the basis of a legal permission (for example if the transmission of the data to third parties such as payment providers is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract according to art. 4 clause 1 lit. b of the GDPR), if you agreed, if a legal obligation allows for it or on the basis of our legitimate interests (for example in case of the assignment of authorized persons, web host etc. )
If we assign the data processing to third parties on the basis of a so-called “order processing contract” this will take place based on art. 28 of the GDPR.
Transmission to third countries
If we process any personal data in a third country (that means outside of the European Union or rather the European Economic Area or if this takes place in the framework of the use of services from third parties or the disclosure or transmission of personal data to third parties, this will happen only if carried out for the fulfilment of our pre-contractual obligation, on the basis of your permission, because of any legal obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions we process or give the permission to process personal data in third countries only in case of the presence of the specific terms of art. 44 seqq. of the GDPR. That means the processing is carried out for example on the basis of particular guarantees such as the officially recognized definition of a data protection level equal to the one of the EU (for example for the US through the “Privacy Shield”) or the observance of officially recognized specific contractual obligations (so called standard contractual clauses).
Establishment of contact
When establishing the contact with CL: (for example via contact form, email or social media channels) the data of the user will be processed in order to process the request as well as for of further questions.

Newsletter shipping provider
We use our newsletter to inform you about us and our offers.
If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected. These data will be used solely for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.
Double Opt-In and Logging:
After registration, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no one can register using someone else’s email address. The newsletter subscriptions are logged in order to be able to prove the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the subscription and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Any changes to the data stored by the newsletter service provider are also logged.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletter itself, in your profile area, or by contacting us via the contact details provided above.
Shipping Provider:
The newsletters are sent using the shipping service provider ActiveCampaign, LLC, 1 N Dearborn Street, 5th Floor, Chicago, IL 60602, USA. You can view the data protection policy of the shipping provider here: https://www.activecampaign.com/legal/privacy-policy.
ActiveCampaign processes the data on our behalf based on a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Data processing may take place in the USA. According to ActiveCampaign, appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR are in place to ensure a level of data protection that complies with European standards.
Newsletter – performance measurement
Our newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon,” which is a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server—or from the server of our shipping provider, if one is used—when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information such as your browser and system information, IP address, and the time of retrieval are collected.
This information is used to improve the technical performance of our services and to better understand the reading behavior of our target audience, based on their access locations (determinable via IP address) and access times. The statistical data also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. While this information can technically be assigned to individual newsletter recipients, neither we nor (if used) our service provider seek to monitor individual users. The evaluations serve only to help us recognize our users’ reading habits and to tailor our content accordingly, or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
Integration of services and contents from third parties
It may be the case that in these online offers contents of third parties such as for example YouTube videos, map data from google maps, RSS-feeds or graphics from other websites will be included. This always assumes that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as “third party provider”) will be aware of the IP address of the user. Because without the IP address they would not be able to send the contents to the browser of the corresponding user. The IP address is hence necessary to display these contents. We aim at using only those contents whose corresponding provider uses the IP address only to deliver the contents. However, we have no influence over whether the third-party providers save the IP address for example for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we inform our users about it.
Cookies
Cookies are small files which render it possible to save specific information referred to the device on the access device of the User (PC, smartphone or similar). On one hand the improve the user-friendliness of websites and thus offer a benefit for the users (for example the storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data of the website usage and analyse them in order to improve the offer. The users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers dispose of an option with which the storage of cookies can be restricted or completely prevented. However, we point out that the use and in particular the user comfort is restricted without cookies.

Users can be informed by e-mail about information relevant to offers or registration, such as changes to the scope of offers or technical circumstances. The data collected can be seen in the input mask during registration. This includes first and last name, postal address, email address and their purpose.
Order processing in the online shop and client account
We process the data of our clients in the framework of the order procedure in our online shop to allow them the selection and ordering of the selected products and services as well as their payment and shipment or execution.
The processed data include inventory data, communication data, contractual data, payment data and the persons concerned are our clients, interested persons and other business partners. The processing takes place for the purpose of the fulfilment of the contractual services within the operation of an online shop, the settlement, delivery and customer service. For this purpose, we place session cookies for the storage of the content of the shopping cart and permanent cookies for the storage of the login status.
The processing takes place on the basis of art. 6 clause 1 lit. b (realization of ordering processes) and c (legally required storage) of the GDPR. In doing so the details marked as necessary for the justification and fulfilment of the contract are required. We disclose the information vis-á-vis third parties only in the framework of the delivery, payment or in the framework of legal permissions and obligations vis-á-vis legal consultants and authorities. The data will be processed in third countries only if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract (for example following a customer request upon delivery or payment).
Users can create a user account where they can display all their orders. In the framework of the registration the necessary compulsory details are communicated to the users. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users cancelled their user account, their data concerning the user account will be cancelled unless their storage is required for commercial and fiscal reasons according to art. 6 clause 1 lit c of the GDPR. Details in the clients account remain there up to their cancellation with the subsequent storage in case of a legal obligation. It is up to the users to store their data upon cancellation before the end of the contractual relationship.
In the framework of the subscription and new registration as well as use of our online services, we save the IP address and the time of the respective user intervention. The storage takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests as well as the user protection against misuse and other unauthorized usages. The transfer of data to third parties does normally not take place, except if required to track our claims or if there is any legal obligation according to art. 6 clause 1 lit c of the GDPR.
The cancellation takes place at the end of legal and comparable guarantees. The necessity of data storage will be verified every three years. In the event of legal storage obligations, the cancellation takes place after their expiry.
Retrieval of profile pictures from Gravatar
We use the service Gravatar of Automattic Inc. 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA in the framework of our online offer and in particular in our blog.
Gravatar is a service where users register and store their profile pictures and their email addresses. If users leave comments or articles on their online presences with their respective email addresses (especially in blogs), their profile pictures can thus be displayed next to the articles or comments. For this reason, the email address communicated by the users is transmitted in an encrypted form to Gravatar in order to verify if there is a stored email address for this profile. This is the only reason to transmit the email address and it is not used for other reasons but cancelled immediately afterwards.
The use of Gravatar takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in line with art. 6 clause 1 lit. f) of the GDPR since with Gravatar we offer users the possibility to personalize their articles and comments with a profile picture.
By showing the picture Gravatar detects the IP address of the users since this is necessary for the communication between the browser and an online service. More information concerning the collection and use of data by Gravatar can be found in the privacy statement of Automattic: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
If users do not want that their picture linked to their email address at Gravatar will be displayed in the comments, they should use an email address to write comments which is not saved at Gravatar. We also point out that it is possible to use an anonymous or no email address at all, if the users do not want that their personal email address is transmitted to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment function.
Data protection information in the application procedure
We process application data only for the purpose and in the framework of application procedures in line with the legal requirements. The processing of application data takes place for the fulfilment of our (pre)contractual obligations in the framework of the application procedure in line with art. 6 clause 1 lit. b. of the GDPR if the data processing is necessary for us for example in the framework of legal procedures.
The application procedure implies that applicants communicate the application details to us. The necessary details of applicants are normally marked in the online form and alternatively result from the description of the position and basically comprise all personal details such as person, post and contact addresses and the documents which form part of the application such as cover letter, CV and certificates. Beside that the applicants can also communicate us additional information if they want.
With the transmission of the application the applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application procedure according to the type and extent indicated in this data protection declaration.
If in the framework of the application procedure voluntarily specific categories of personal data are communicated in line with art. 9 clause 1 of the GDPR, its processing takes place additionally according to art.9 clause 2 lit. b of the GDPR (for example health data, such as severe disability or ethnical origin). If in the framework of the application procedure specific categories of personal data are requested from applicants in line with art. 9 clause 1 of the GDPR, their processing takes place additionally according to art. 9 clause 2 lit a of the GDPR (for example health data if these are necessary for the execution of the profession).
Applicants may send us their applications via email. When doing so, however, we ask you to consider that emails will basically not be sent in an encoded form and the applicants must ensure the encryption personally. Hence, we cannot assume any responsibility for the transfer of the application from the sender to the reception on our server and thus advice you to use the postal delivery. Because instead of sending the application via email, the applicants still have the possibility to send the applications via post.
The data made available by applicants, can be further processed by us in case of a successful application for the purpose of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application referring to a determined position is not successful the data of the applicant will be deleted. The data of the applicant will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn by the applicant as the person is entitled to at any point in time.
The cancellation takes place, subject to a legitimate revocation by the applicant at the end of the period of six months so to be able to answer to possible further questions regarding the application and to satisfy our burden of proof from the General Equal Treatment Act. Invoices on possible travel cost compensations will be stored according to the fiscal requirements.
Comments and articles
If users write comments or other articles, their IP-address can be saved for 7 days on the basis of our legitimate interests in line with art. 6 clause 1 lit. f. of the GDPR. This is done to protect ourselves if someone writes illegal contents in comments or articles (offenses, forbidden political propaganda etc.). In this case we can be prosecuted personally for such comments or articles and are hence interested in the identity of the writer.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to process the details of the users for spam detection on the basis of our legitimate interests according to art. 6 clause 1 lit f. of the GDPR
The data indicated within the scope of comments and articles will be saved by us permanently until the objection by the user.

The plugins can be identified via the facebook logos (white “f” on a blue background, the terms “Like” or the thumbs-up signs) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugins”. The list and the look of the Facebook Social Plugins is represented here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
If a user of a website views this offer which contains such a plugin his browser creates a direct connection to the Facebook server. The content of the Plugin will be directly transferred to your browser by Facebook and from there embedded into the website. Thus, the provider has no influence on the extent of the data which Facebook collects with the help of these plugins and thus informs the user according to the personal state of knowledge:
Through the embedment of Plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user viewed the respective page of a particular offer. If the user is logged in on Facebook, Facebook can assign this visit to the respective Facebook account. If a user interacts with the Plugins, for example by clicking the “Like”- Button or entering a comment, the respective information is directly transmitted from your browser to Facebook and saved there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, however, Facebook has the possibility to find out the IP address and to save it. According to Facebook in Germany only anonymized IP addresses are saved.
The purpose and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as respective rights and possible settings to protect the privacy of the user, can be found in the privacy statement provided by Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user views a website of this offer which contains such a button, the browser establishes a direct connection with the server of Google. The content of the “+1” button will be transmitted directly to its browser by Google and from there embedded into the website.
