This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system via your computer and your connection to the Internet. Cookies cannot be used to start programs or to transmit viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make it easier for you to navigate and enable the correct display of our websites.

SSL encryption In order to protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) over HTTPS.

Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR) we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the users is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data from Google.

Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. For more information about Google’s use of data, settings and objections, please see Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and Google’s (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated) settings for displaying advertisements. The personal data of the users will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months. Created with Datenschutz-Generator.de by RA Dr. Thomas Schwenke

LinkedIn Analytics und LinkedIn Ads

We use the conversion tracking technology and the retargeting function of LinkedIn Corporation on our website. This technology allows visitors to this website to run personalized ads on LinkedIn. It also provides the ability to generate anonymous reports on the performance of the ads, as well as information about website interaction. For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight tag is integrated on this website, which establishes a connection to the LinkedIn server, provided that you visit this website and are logged into your LinkedIn account in parallel. The LinkedIn Privacy Policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy provides more information about data collection and use, as well as ways and rights to protect your privacy. If you are logged in to LinkedIn, you can deactivate the data collection at any time at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising.

Facebook Pixel

This website uses the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This function is used to present interest-based advertisements (“Facebook ads”) to visitors to this website as part of the visit to the social network Facebook. For this purpose, the remarketing tag of Facebook was implemented on this website. This day will establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit the website. It is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. Further information on the collection and use of the data by Facebook as well as about your rights in this regard and possibilities for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy under https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. Alternatively, you can deactivate the Custom Audiences remarketing feature under https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_=_. To do this, you must be signed in to Facebook.

Newsletter

When you register to subscribe to our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by e-mail of circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g. changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances). For an effective registration we need a valid e-mail address. To verify that an application is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the requested reply. No further data will be collected. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties. You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending newsletters at any time. In each newsletter you will find a corresponding link. In addition, you can also unsubscribe directly from this website at any time or inform us of your corresponding request via the contact option indicated at the end of this data protection notice. Contact form If you contact us by e-mail or contact form, the information provided by you will be stored for the purpose of processing the request as well as for possible follow-up questions.

Deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated herein or as provided for by the various storage periods provided for by the legislator. After the expiry of the respective purpose or expiry of these deadlines, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions. Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts) In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google web fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support google web fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font. Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. In theory, it is possible – but at present it is also unclear whether and possibly for what purposes – that operators of corresponding libraries collect data. The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Embedded Youtube Videos

On some of our websites we embed Youtube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, you connect to Youtube servers. Youtube will be informed which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your Youtube account, Youtube can assign your browsing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your Youtube account beforehand. When a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior. Anyone who has deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to expect such cookies when watching Youtube videos. Youtube also collects non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser. Further information on data protection at “Youtube” can be found in the data protection declaration of the provider under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ your rights to information, rectification, blocking, deletion and opposition You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to rectification, blocking or, apart from the prescribed data storage for business transactions, deletion of your personal data. Please contact our Data Protection Officer. Contact details can be found at the bottom. In order for a lock of data to be taken into account at any time, this data must be stored in a lock file for control purposes. You can also request the deletion of the data, unless there is a legal obligation to archive. Insofar as such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request. You may make changes or withdraw your consent by notifying us with effect for the future.

Registration for events

By registering, you consent to the processing of the contact details you provide. The data processing is carried out for the purpose of holding the event and is intended to enable communication on the event and on BPV topics. Should film and/or photo recordings be taken at this event, you declare your consent in the processing and use of the image, video and sound recordings for documentation purposes as well as in the context of the press and public relations work of BPV GmbH. Your data will be stored except for a revocation you have declared to us. If you agree to a storage only for the purpose of holding an event, please contact the body responsible for the event (see e-mail link below).

Google reCAPTCHA Privacy Policy

Our ultimate goal is to secure and protect our website for you and for us in the best possible way. To ensure this, we use Google reCAPTCHA of Google Inc. Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services in Europe. With reCAPTCHA we can determine if you are really a human being of flesh and blood and not a robot or any other spam software. By spam, we mean any, by electronic means, unwanted information that we have unquestioned. With the classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or image puzzles for verification. With reCAPTCHA from Google, we usually don’t have to bother you with such puzzles. Here, in most cases, it is enough if you simply tick a check mark and confirm that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version, you don’t even have to tick a check mark anymore. You can find out exactly how this works and, above all, what data is used for this purpose in the course of this privacy policy.
