The safety and protection of your personal data

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and consider it our primary task to protect the confidentiality of your personal data and to protect it against unauthorized access. The use of our website is therefore generally also possible without providing personal data. If personal data (such as name, address or email address) is collected on the basis of your voluntary information on our pages, it will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
We use the utmost diligence and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data. Nevertheless, data transmission on the internet can have security gaps, which is why complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.
As a company under private law, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our external service providers.

 

Definitions of terms

The law requires that personal data be processed in a lawful manner, in good faith and in a manner that is comprehensible to the person concerned (“lawfulness, processing in good faith, transparency”). In order to ensure this, in the following we will inform you about the individual legal definitions which are also used in this data protection declaration:

(1) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics which express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

(2) Processing
Processing means any operation carried out, with or without the aid of automated procedures, or any such series of operations relating to personal data, such as the capture, collection, organization, arrangement, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.

(3) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

(4) Profiling
Profiling means any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to the performance of work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, location or relocation of that natural person.

(5) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures that ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

(6) File system
A file system is any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specific criteria, regardless of whether this collection is organized by centralized, decentralized, functional or geographical aspects.

(7) Data controller
Data controller means any natural or legal person, authority, body, institution or other body which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. When the purposes and means of such processing are specified by European Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or certain criteria for his appointment may be specified in accordance with European Union law or the law of the Member States.

(8) Data processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body processing personal data on behalf of the data controller.

(9) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, irrespective of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data under European Union law or the law of the Member States under a particular investigation mandate shall not be considered recipients; the processing of such data by said authorities shall be carried out under the applicable data protection regulations in accordance with the purposes of the processing.

(10) Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and those persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

(11) Consent
A data subject’s consent is any voluntary statement of intent in the specific case, made in an informed and unequivocal manner, in the form of a statement or other clear affirmative act, with which the data subject indicates that he/she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him/her.

Lawfulness of processing

The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. Under Art. 6 para. 1 letters a – f of the GDPR, the legal basis for processing may in particular be:

  1. the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  3. processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  4. processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  5. processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  6. processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

    In order to exercise the right to restrict processing, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Where personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1, you, on grounds relating to your particular situation, have the right to object to processing of your personal data, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

  2. is authorized by European Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  3. is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

Use of Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses something called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization on this website, Google will truncate/anonymize your IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider.

(2) Google will not associate your IP address received through Google Analytics with any other data held by Google.

(3) You may refuse the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Further, you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under this link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIp”. This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, thereby excluding the possibility of personal traceability. As far as the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is immediately deleted.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. With the statistics provided, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has committed itself to and is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f of the EU-GDPR.

(7) This site also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic conducted through a user ID. You can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your use under “My data”, “Personal data” in your customer account.

Use of social media plugins

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Twitter, Xing, YouTube, LinkedIn incl. SlideShare, Instagram and Pinterest. We use something called the two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognize the provider of the plug-in via the marking on the box above its first letter or the logo. We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it, will the plug-in provider be informed that you have accessed the corresponding section of our website. In addition, the data specified in Section 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, according to the respective provider in Germany. By activating the plug-in, personal data is transferred from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the grayed-out box using your browser’s security settings.

(2) We have no influence on the data collected and data processing processes, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such analysis is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f of the GDPR.

(4) The data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected with us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being tied to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers given below. They will also provide you with further information about your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy.

(6) Addresses of the respective plug-in providers and URL with their data protection information:

Embedding of Google Maps

(1) On this website we use the services of Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function.

(2) By visiting the website, Google receives information that you have called up the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data specified in Section 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in with or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such analysis takes place in particular (even for unlogged-in users) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

(3) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection declarations of the provider.

Use of Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Pixel

(1) Furthermore, our website uses the remarketing function “Custom Audiences ” and the so-called “Facebook Pixel” from Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). As a result, users of the website can be shown interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") when they visit the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the process. In doing so, we are interested in showing you advertising that is of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can further understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad.

(2) Due to the marketing tools used by Facebook, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you according to our current knowledge: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences , Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our accessed our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address and other identifiers.

(3) The “Facebook Custom Audiences ” function can be deactivated for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_ . Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Use of Google Ads

(1) We use the offer of Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. In relation to the advertising campaign data, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

(2) These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". To do this, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt -out information (marking that the user does not wants to be addressed more) is saved.

(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of a Google Ads customer (e.g. PUNKTUM) and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were forwarded to our site. Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the user based on this information.

(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you according to our current level of knowledge: By integrating AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website viewed or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address.

(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: 

a) by setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies means that you will not receive any ads from third-party providers; 

b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting deleted when you delete your cookies; 

c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers who are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

(6) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing as well as further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be obtained from: Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA; Data protection conditions for advertising: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/technologies/ads. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Use of Google Ads Remarketing

(1) We use the remarketing function within the Google Ads service. With the remarketing function, we can present users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (in Google search or on YouTube, so-called "Google ads" or on other websites) advertisements based on their interests. For this purpose, the interaction of the users on our website is analyzed, e.g. which offers a user is interested in, in order to be able to show the user targeted advertising on other pages after visiting our website. For this purpose, Google stores cookies on the end devices of users who visit certain Google services or websites in the Google Display Network. These cookies are used to record the visits of these users. The cookies are used to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific end device and not to identify a person.

(2) Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html. Alternatively, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) website at http://www.networkadvertising.org. Transfers to third countries are possible. So-called standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR were concluded as suitable guarantees. Further information can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/data-transfers-outside-eu_de.
Deletion/Revocation:

(3) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: 

a) by setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies means that you will not receive any ads from third-party providers;

b) by installing the plug-in provided by Google under the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin

c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; 

d) by permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin, e) by means of the appropriate cookie setting. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

Use of LinkedIn Audiences and LinkedIn Insight Tag

(1) The website also uses the remarketing function and the so-called "LinkedIn Insight Tag" from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company ("LinkedIn"). As a result, users of the website can be shown interest-based advertisements (“LinkedIn-Ads”) when visiting the social network LinkedIn or other websites that also use the process. In doing so, we are interested in showing you advertising that is of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you. With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we also want to ensure that our LinkedIn ads correspond to the potential interest of the user and are not annoying. With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we can further understand the effectiveness of LinkedIn advertisements for statistical and market research purposes, in which we can see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a LinkedIn advertisement.

(2) Due to the marketing tools used by LinkedIn, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by LinkedIn through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you according to our knowledge: The LinkedIn Insight tag enables the collection of data on visits to the PUNKTUM website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent) and timestamp. This data is encrypted, IP addresses are truncated and members' direct IDs are removed within seven days to pseudonymise the data. This remaining pseudonymised data will then be deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share any personally identifiable information with other companies, but only provides aggregated reports on website audience and ad performance.

(3) LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings (https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising/actions-that-showed-interest). Further information on data processing by LinkedIn can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Use of Google Tag Manager

(1) This website uses the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows website tags to be managed from one interface. The tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not store any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

(2) Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider's data protection declaration. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Data processors

We use external service providers (contract processors) for example for the dispatch of goods, newsletters or payment processing. A separate processing contract for order data has been concluded with the service provider in order to guarantee the protection of your personal data. Upon request, we will be happy to inform you about the companies commissioned by us to process your data (contractors within the scope of Art. 28 of the GDPR).
