We draw no conclusions about the data subject when collecting and processing these data. The data are stored separately from all other personal data provided by a data subject. Collection and processing are carried out solely to enable the use of the websites you have accessed, for statistical purposes and to improve our website.

2. Cookies
To make our websites more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are text files which are stored on your device. Cookies help us determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our websites, and to make our offerings as convenient and efficient for you as possible. On the one hand, we use so-called "session cookies," which are cached only during the time you are using one of our websites. On the other hand, we use "permanent cookies" (including "flash cookies"), to capture information about computers that repeatedly access our websites. In this way, we can offer an optimal user interface and also "recognize" you when you return so that we can present maximum variety and new content. In your browser under Extras/Internet Options, you can disable cookies, limit them to certain websites or set your browser to notify you when a cookie is sent. You also have the option to remove existing cookies with your browser. More detailed information about these functions can be found in the documentation or in your browser's help file.

3. Other Tools

Cookiebot

On our website we use the consent management tool "Cookiebot" from the company Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark.

With the help of Cookiebot, a so-called cookie banner is displayed to you the first time you visit our site, in which you can manage your consent to the setting of cookies or the use of cookie categories. You can also call up the cookie banner at any time later and change your cookie settings.

The settings you have made are stored in separate cookies, whereby personal data is also transmitted to Cookiebot. This involves the following data categories:

· Anonymized IP address,

· Date and time of consent,

· Information about the browser,

· the URL of our subpage from which you gave your consent

· a random and encrypted key,

· the consent status, which serves as proof of consent.

The cookie consents given with the help of Cookiebot are stored for a period of 12 months.

The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in the data protection-compliant management of user consents to the setting of cookies on our website (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Further information can be found in Cookiebot's privacy policy at: https://www.cookiebot.com/en/privacy-policy/

Cloudflare

We use the services of the company "Cloudflare" (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) to increase the availability and security of our website.

Cloudflare provides a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN). This means that website operators can make certain page content available not only on their own servers, but also on the CDN provider's servers. If the CDN servers are located closer to the user than the website operator's servers, the use of a CDN regularly results in faster loading times for the user. When users access the website of such a website operator, they therefore establish a connection not only to the website operator, but also to the CDN operator.

Cloudflare also provides website operators with security functions that can be used to ward off automated attacks on the website in particular. By using these functions, the availability of our website and the services it contains can be ensured.

Cloudflare uses cookies for the purposes described above and can therefore process the following categories of data in particular:

· IP address,

· End device of the user,

· Data on traffic between the user and the website operator, e.g. pages accessed, date and time of access.

You can completely prevent the processing of your personal data by Cloudflare by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser settings or by integrating a so-called script blocker into your browser.

Cloudflare is contractually obliged under so-called EU standard data protection clauses to ensure that, when transferring personal data out of the European Economic Area, the recipients comply with a data protection standard that essentially corresponds to the European standard. Please note, however, that we cannot guarantee that Cloudflare will be able to comply with these contractual obligations in every case.

The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in the continuous and secure operation of our website and the defense against hacker attacks (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Further information can be found in Cloudflare's privacy policy at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

Google Analytics

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer to enable the website analyze how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our websites will generally be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, because IP anonymization has been activated on our websites, within the Member States of the European Union or other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, your IP address will first be truncated. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of our websites, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted from your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Wiredminds

Our website uses a counting pixel technology provided by wiredminds GmbH (www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior. If necessary, data is collected, processed and stored, from which user profiles are created under a pseudonym. Wherever possible and reasonable, these usage profiles are completely anonymized. Cookies can be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor's Internet browser and serve to recognize the Internet browser. The collected data, which may also contain personal data, will be transmitted to wiredminds or collected directly by wiredminds. wiredminds may use information that is left by visiting the websites to create anonymized usage profiles. The data obtained without explicit consent of the affected person will not be used to personally identify the visitor of this website and will not be merged with personal data of the bearer of the pseudonym. Whenever IP addresses are recorded, their immediate anonymization takes place by deleting the last number block.
Exclude from tracking.

IP Info

Our websites also use IP Info for geolocating in order to display your local contact. Your IP address is anonymized and transmitted via encrypted connection to the IP Info webservers. We receive country, city, zip code and region from the API.

4. Use of other Services Offered
Additional data are collected and processed when visiting these websites only if you provide these data yourself in connection with the use of services offered separately on our websites. Please note that, in this context, there is fundamentally no legal or contractual obligation to provide your personal data. However, if you choose not to provide personal data, the use of our services may be restricted or excluded.

Contact via our Website

Due to legal requirements, our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general, so-called electronic mail (e-mail) address. If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or through a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be saved automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for purposes of processing or for contacting the data subject.

IV. Processing Purposes and Legal Basis as well as Legitimate Interest

When personalized services are utilized, we process the personal data you share with us for the purpose of providing the service you have requested.

We use the personal data collected in connection with the communication initiated via our contact form solely for purposes of processing or for contacting the data subject. Legal basis for this is the legitimate interest (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

V. Storage Duration and Routine Deletion

The legislature has issued a variety of retention requirements and retention periods. Typically, these are also the basis for the storage period for personal data. Upon expiry of these periods, the corresponding data are routinely deleted or their processing is restricted. If data are not affected, they will be deleted as soon as the respective uses no longer apply.

We save the personal data that you provide us within the context of the contact, subject to further processing purposes (for example, inquiry via the contact form) only until such time that your inquiry has been processed or pursuant to the in-house deletion period.

VI. Rights of Data Subjects

According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you, as the data subject, have various rights in connection with the collection and processing of your personal data, which we would like to explain below.

Fundamentally, these rights can be asserted by the data subject at any time. To assert these rights, and for questions in this regard, we ask that the data subject contact our person in charge (see point II). He will be happy to answer your questions and, in individual cases, take necessary measures to implement the rights asserted by the data subject without delay.

Right to Confirmation and Access
Every data subject has the right to request from the controller a confirmation of whether personal data about him have been processed. If that is the case, the data subject also has the right to receive, free of charge, information about his personal data that has been stored as well as a copy of that information.

Right to Rectification
Every data subject has the right to request immediate rectification of personal data about him that is incorrect. Further, he has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement — taking into account the purposes of the processing.

Right to Deletion
Every data subject has the right to request that the controller immediately remove personal data about him, if any of the following applies and if processing is not required:

The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject lodges an objection to the processing and there are no legitimate grounds for the processing.
The personal data were unlawfully processed.
The person responsible is otherwise required by law to delete.
The personal data are those collected from children as part of information society services.

Insofar as we, the controller, have made the personal data public and are required to delete them, we will take the appropriate steps, under consideration of the available technology and the costs of implementation, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested deletion. In addition, we will inform these other controllers that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to these personal data, along with any copies or replications, to the extent that processing is not required.

Right to Restriction/Blocking of Processing
Every data subject has the right to request that the controller restrict the processing if one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal is contested by the data subject, for a period of time that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful; the data subject rejects deletion of the personal data and demands instead that use of the personal data be restricted.
The controller no longer requires the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject requires them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The data subject has lodged an objection and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

Right to Data Portability
In principle, every data subject has the right to receive the personal data he has made available to a controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He also has the right to transmit these data to another controller without obstruction by the controller to whom the personal data were originally provided, insofar as the processing is based on consent or a contract and the processing takes place using an automated process.

In addition, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, provided that it is technically possible and does not compromise the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to Object
Every data subject has the right, for reasons that arise from his particular situation, to object to the processing of his personal data, insofar as the processing is carried out to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or third parties.

In the case of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of his personal data for the purpose of such advertising. If the data subject objects to processing for direct advertising purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Right to Appeal
Independent of the above stated rights and independent of other remedies, every data subject has the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, if he believes that the processing of his personal data violates the data protection regulations.

VII. Data Security

Please note that data transmission via the internet is essentially unsecured. There is a possibility that transmitted data can be read and perhaps even falsified by unauthorized persons. For secure communication, we offer, by default, encrypted communication over the SSL protocol, which we use to transfer your personal data. In addition, we employ current technical and organizational measures to secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. These are always consistent with the current state of the art.

VIII. Recipient or Category of Recipients

Insofar as we transfer personal data to third parties, it is done in accordance with the data protection regulations and according to this privacy policy. We transfer the personal data in the context of the above-mentioned processing purposes to companies within the NETZSCH-Group.

Our service providers and agents can also receive data for the stated processing purposes, if they, in particular, uphold their obligation to confidentiality. These are companies providing IT services, logistics and printing services.

IX. Transmission to a Third Country or an International Organization

When transferring data to external bodies in third countries, i.e. outside the EU or the EEA, we ensure that these bodies treat your personal data with the same care as within the EU or the EEA. We only transfer personal data to third countries where the EU Commission has confirmed an adequate level of protection or where we ensure the careful handling of personal data through contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees.

X. Privacy policy social media

With this notice, we would like to inform you about what data we collect from you on our social media presences and how we use it.

You can find us in various social media with our own presence. Through this, we would like to provide you with a broad, multimedia offer and exchange information with you on topics that are important to you. In addition to the respective provider of a social network, we also collect and process personal user data on fan pages. We link to our presences in social networks on this website. For this purpose, we have linked to a graphic of the respective network.

No data is transmitted to the operators of the social networks when you load our website, but only when you actively follow the link to our profile on the respective social network.

When you access our profile page on a social network, the operator of the social network may set cookies on your end device, regardless of whether you have an account with the network or whether you are logged in there. Cookies are data packets that mark the user's end devices with a specific identifier. Cookies are primarily set in order to be able to display personalised advertising to visitors of the social networks, including our profile pages.

This is done, for example, by displaying to the user on the pages of the social network advertisements from advertising partners of the social network whose websites the user has previously visited. In addition, cookies enable us to compile statistics on the use of our profile page (e.g. number of page views, user categories).

If we receive such statistical analyses from the operator of the social network, the data is anonymised by the operator beforehand, i.e. it is not possible for us to assign usage data to an individual user. If you are logged in to the social network, however, the operator of the social network may be able to assign the visit to our profile on the social network to your account there.

We have no influence on which data is collected and transmitted by the operator of the social network, to which third-party recipients a transmission by the operator of the social network takes place and how long the data is stored by the operator of the social network. In this regard, we refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network.
