Legal basis for data processing:
The legal basis for the collection of personal data is:
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR if we have obtained the consent of the affected person for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) and c) if the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or other legal obligation and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR if the processing serves to safeguard legitimate interests, unless the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms of the affected person prevail.
How do we collect your data?
On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. This data is therefore processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and serves to safeguard our legitimate interests with regard to the provision of our website. The user therefore has no option to object. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. In addition, your data may also be used for customer relationship and marketing purposes.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) or f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, erasure and rectification
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, there is no longer any need to store the data or it is no longer required to protect our legitimate interests (e.g. defense or assertion of legal claims, data protection documentation, etc.).

We store the transmitted data in compliance with the statutory retention regulations.

The data is stored if this is necessary to fulfill legal obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR or to safeguard our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

We may include you in Eticor's applicant pool if you have consented to this during or after the application process. In this case, we will store the data you provide during the application process so that we can consider you for future suitable vacancies.

You can revoke your consent to this at any time informally by e-mail or post to the office responsible for data processing. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Analysis tools and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer
and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en&sjid=15741424713390259060-EU
Order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

For details, please see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en&sjid=2172897311692562510-EU
Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the
cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on any device on which you sign in with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google Account by following this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or withdraw from Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
As part of Google AdWords, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Please note that, despite the joint responsibility with the social media operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the operators. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective operator.

These plugins normally collect data from you by default and transmit it to the servers of the respective provider.

Once activated, the plugins also collect personal data, such as your IP address, and send it to the servers of the respective provider, where it is stored. In addition, activated social media plugins set a cookie with a unique identifier when the relevant website is accessed. This also allows the providers to create profiles about your usage behavior on websites that you have visited. This happens even if you are not a member of the social network of the respective provider. If you are a member of the provider's social network and you are logged in to the social network during your visit to this website, your data and information about your visit to this website may be linked to your profile on the social network. We have no influence on the exact scope of the data collected from you by the respective provider.

LinkedIn Analytics and LinkedIn Ads
LinkedIn Ads - Conversion Tracking (Pixel)
If you have given your consent, we use the online marketing tool LinkedIn Ads. The responsible service provider in the EU is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
For this purpose, we use the LinkedIn Campaign Manager to define target groups of users based on certain characteristics, who are subsequently shown advertisements within the LinkedIn network. The users are selected by LinkedIn based on the profile information they provide and other data provided when using LinkedIn. If a user clicks on an advertisement and subsequently reaches our website, LinkedIn receives the information that the user has clicked on the advertising banner via the conversion tag integrated on our website.
The LinkedIn tag enables the recording of websites visited, including the URL, referrer ID, IP address, device and browser properties and timestamp. The IP addresses are truncated by LinkedIn or (in the case of cross-device use) hashed.
The LinkedIn pixel allows us to show personalized ads outside of our website without identifying individual members. It also uses data that does not identify you to improve ad relevance and reach LinkedIn members across different devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes via their account settings. LinkedIn refers to the following link to customize advertising preferences: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising/actions-that-showed-interest.
We process this data in order to evaluate our advertising campaigns. Further information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by LinkedIn, as well as your setting options for protecting your privacy, can also be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy.
Further information on LinkedIn conversion tracking can be found at https://business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/conversion-tracking#get-started.
Further information on data processing and storage duration can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/65521?lang=de.

We use so-called "Advertising Lead Forms" on LinkedIn to offer interested parties the opportunity to contact us directly and voluntarily via a contact form displayed there. Alternatively, you can of course always contact us directly using the contact forms on our website or by email.
We process your personal data in order to answer your questions and process your requests. This is also our legitimate interest in processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
You have the option of subscribing to our newsletter via the "Advertising Lead Forms" (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR). We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to verify your data. This means that after you have entered your e-mail address, we will send you a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to confirm your registration. If you do not confirm this, your registration will be automatically deleted.
Your data that we have received in the course of contacting you will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, your request has been fully processed and no further communication with you is necessary or desired by you.
