Online Marketing

To continuously increase the reach and visibility of our online offerings, we process personal data as part of our online marketing activities, particularly with regard to potential interests and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing measures.

To measure the effectiveness of our marketing measures and identify potential interests, relevant information is stored in cookies or similar methods are used. The data stored in the cookies may include viewed content, visited websites, settings, and used functions and systems. However, for the purposes described, no personally identifiable user data is typically processed. The data is then anonymized so that the actual identity of the users is unknown to both us and the provider of the tool used. The anonymized data is often stored in user profiles.

If user profiles are stored, the data may be read, supplemented, and updated on the online marketing provider’s server when visiting other websites that use the same online marketing method.

We can determine the success of our advertisements based on aggregated data made available to us by the provider of the online marketing method (so-called conversion tracking). As part of this conversion tracking, we can determine whether a marketing measure led to a purchase decision by a visitor to our online service. This evaluation serves to analyze the success of our online marketing.

Data categories:
User data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta and communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses), location data, contact data, content data (e.g., text information, photographs, videos)

Social Media Presences

We maintain online presences on social networks and career platforms in order to exchange information with registered users and to get in touch easily.

In some cases, data from users on social networks is used to conduct market research and pursue advertising purposes. User profiles can be created and used based on users’ browsing behavior, for example their stated interests, to tailor advertisements to the interests of target groups. For this purpose, cookies are regularly stored on users’ devices, sometimes regardless of whether they are registered users of the social network.

Depending on where the social network operates, user data may be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. This may entail risks for users, as it may, for example, make it more difficult to enforce their rights.

Data categories:
Master data (e.g., name, address), contact data (e.g., email address, phone number), content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g., websites visited, interests, access times), meta and communication data (e.g., device information, IP address)
