Processing of Personal Data
1. Informational Visits to Our Website
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data (so-called server log files) and information from the computer system of the accessing device. The following data is collected in this process:
- Webpage visited
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data transmitted in bytes
- Source/link from which you accessed the page (referrer URL)
- Browser used
- Operating system used
- IP address used
- Request details and destination address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
This data is stored in log files to ensure the website functions properly. In addition, we use this data to optimize the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) of the DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the DSGVO in optimizing our website.
2. Use of Cookies
The website uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Our website uses both session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are stored in the user’s web browser until the browser window is closed, at which point the session cookies are deleted. Persistent cookies are used for repeat visits and are stored in the user’s browser for a specific period of time (typically up to 1 year, in some cases 2 years). These cookies are not deleted when the browser is closed. This type of cookie is used to retain a user’s preferences when they return to the site. We have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the DSGVO in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services (technically necessary cookies).
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies used for audience measurement (tracking) and advertising purposes are used only to the extent that you have consented to their use. The legal basis for the use of these cookies is Article 6(1)(a) of the DSGVO. In the cookie settings on our website, you have the option to give your voluntary consent to the use of cookies for analytics and marketing—either individually or generally—and to revoke this consent at any time with future effect (see §9 of this Privacy Policy).

3. Data Processing When Contacting Us via the Website
If you contact us via email (e.g., using the email address provided on our website), by phone, or by mail, the personal data you provide (e.g., last name, first name, email address, mailing address, etc.) will be processed to respond to your inquiry. If you contact us using the contact form provided on our website, you consent to the processing of your personal data. The processing of the personal data (title, first name, last name, company, phone number, email address, type of inquiry, your message) entered in the form is used solely to handle your inquiry. Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) and (f) of the DSGVO. If the registration relates to the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the DSGVO.
Sources
We receive personal data from our contractual partners in the course of our business relationships. In addition, we process personal data that we receive directly from our customers, intermediaries, service providers, employees, and job applicants. Furthermore, to the extent necessary for the provision of a service, we process personal data that we have lawfully obtained from other group companies or other third parties (e.g., SCHUFA, Creditreform) (e.g., for the performance of services, to fulfill contracts, or based on consent you have provided). Furthermore, we process personal data that we have lawfully obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g., debtor registers, land registers, commercial and association registers, the press, media, and the Internet) and are permitted to process.
Purposes of Processing and Legal Bases
We process your personal data in accordance with Article 6 of the EU DSGVO, specifically under Article 6(1)(a) in cases of consent, Article 6(1)(b) of the DSGVO for the performance of a contract, Article 6(1)(c) of the DSGVO to comply with a legal obligation, Article 6(1)(d) of the DSGVO where the vital interests of the data subjects are at stake, and Article 6(1)(f) of the DSGVO where there is a legitimate interest of our company or a third party. In addition, we process your personal data in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act.
Disclosure of Personal Data
We will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless you consent to the disclosure, there is a legal obligation to do so, it is necessary for the performance of a contract, or we can rely on legitimate interests in the economic and effective operation of our business with respect to such disclosure.
Within the Garbe Group, we share data internally to the extent that there is a legitimate interest in such intra-group disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the DSGVO.
We have carefully selected and engaged external service providers; they are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. Recipients of personal data may include, for example: banks, advertising agencies, PR agencies, credit bureaus, payroll agencies, attorneys, IT service providers, workers’ compensation associations, and government agencies (such as tax authorities, courts, the public prosecutor’s office, and the police).
Transfer of Personal Data
Data will only be transferred to countries outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries) to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill your orders, required by law (e.g., tax reporting obligations), you have given us your consent, or within the framework of commissioned data processing.
To the extent that a transfer to a third country takes place, the personal data is protected in each case by one of the mechanisms described in Art. 44 et seq. of the DSGVO (adequacy decisions or appropriate or sufficient safeguards).
Use of Analytics Tools, Plug-ins, and Tracking
1. Social Media Plug-ins
Our Websites use so-called social media plug-ins from the following social networks. After clicking on the embedded text or image link, you will be redirected to the respective provider’s page. Only after this redirection is user information transmitted to the respective provider, and information about you is collected by the respective network. With this solution, you can decide for yourself whether and when data is transmitted to the operators of the respective social networks.
You can disable interest-based advertising via the cookie settings (see Section 4 (2)). If you are logged into your user account on the respective network at that time, the network operator may, in some cases, associate the information collected during that specific visit with your personal account. If you wish to prevent the collected information from being associated with your user account, you must log out of the social network before clicking on the graphic. You also have the option to configure your user account accordingly.
We use the following social media plug-ins on our website:
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
For more information on interest-based advertising on LinkedIn and on data protection, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a426390?hcppcid=search and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
2. Other Plug-Ins and Embedded Features and Content
On our website, we use functional and content elements that are sourced from the servers of the respective providers (hereinafter “third-party providers”). These may include, for example, graphics, videos, or maps (hereinafter collectively referred to as “content”).
Note: Transfer to the U.S.
An adequate level of data protection when using service providers and data processors outside the European Union (EU/EEA) is ensured through compliance with Articles 44 et seq. of the DSGVO.
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, a service operated by Google. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner, provided that you have consented to the use of the plugins, and is therefore based on Article 6(1)(a) of the DSGVO.
We only track the extent to which the YouTube videos embedded on our site are viewed and delete this data after two years.
For more information on how user data is handled, please see YouTube’s Privacy Policy at:https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
3. Analytics Tools
(a) Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd., Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043 (hereinafter “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to identify the frequency of use of certain areas of our website and user preferences. The information generated by the cookies regarding your use of our website (including your truncated IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.
We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled. This means that Google truncates users’ IP addresses within member states of the European Union (EU) or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your web browser is not combined with other data held by Google. If you do not wish to have your data analyzed or your reach measured by Google Analytics, you can, as an alternative to the options described in Section 4(2), specifically disable the use of Google Analytics cookies by installing a web browser add-on. You can download it here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. This will store so-called “opt-out” information on your device, which is used to track your deactivation of Google Analytics. Please note that such “opt-out” information only deactivates Google Analytics for the specific device and web browser from which it was set. In addition, you may need to set it again if you delete cookies from your device. The opt-out cookie applies only to the web browser used when it was set and only to our website, and it is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in your web browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.
For more information on Google’s use of data, as well as options for settings and opting out, please visit Google’s websites at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners and https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads.
(b) Google Ads
(aa). We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website and, as part of this, conversion tracking (visitor action analysis). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd., Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043 (hereinafter “Google”).
If you consent to the use of this service, a conversion tracking cookie will be stored on your computer when you click on an ad placed by Google. These cookies have a limited validity period, do not contain any personal data, and therefore cannot be used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means it is not possible to track cookies across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. Your data may be transferred to the United States.
For more information and Google’s Privacy Policy, please visit:
(bb). We use the remarketing feature within the Google Ads service (see paragraph (a)) on our website.
To do this, user interaction on our website is analyzed—for example, which offers the user was interested in—so that we can display targeted ads to users on other sites even after they have visited our website. For this purpose, Google stores a number in the browsers of users who visit certain Google services or websites on the Google Display Network. This number, referred to as a “cookie,” is used to track these users’ visits. This number serves to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific device and is not used to identify an individual; no personal data is stored.
In addition to the option to disable tracking, you can prevent your participation in this tracking process in the following ways: a) by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; in particular, blocking third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third-party providers; b) by installing the plug-in provided by Google at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin; c) by disabling interest-based ads from providers participating in the “About Ads” self-regulatory campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices; please note that this setting will be deleted if you clear your cookies; d) by permanently disabling this feature in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browsers via the link.

(d) LinkedIn Insight
We use the LinkedIn Insights Tag on our website, which is operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA (LinkedIn).
LinkedIn Insights is a JavaScript code embedded on our website. It tracks visits by LinkedIn members to our website. LinkedIn thereby receives the information that you have visited our website and links this to your profile data on LinkedIn in order to display targeted advertisements about our company to you on LinkedIn. This allows us to measure the performance of our ads.
If you consent to the use of this service (see Section 4 (2)), a so-called cookie will be stored on your device. If you subsequently log in to LinkedIn or are already logged in to LinkedIn while visiting our website, your visit to our website will be noted in your LinkedIn profile. The data collected about you in this way is anonymous to us; it does not allow us to identify you. However, please note that this data is also stored and processed by LinkedIn, which means it can be linked to the respective user profile. LinkedIn may use this information for its own market research and advertising purposes. If you wish to prevent the collected information from being associated with your user account, you must log out of the social network before clicking on the graphic.
Data processing by LinkedIn is governed by the LinkedIn Privacy Policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. For more information about LinkedIn Insights and how it works, visit https://business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/insight-tag.

We maintain company profiles on the social network LinkedIn.
We cannot track which user data the social networks collect. We have no influence over the data processing that takes place for this purpose, cannot prevent it, and do not have access to the underlying data.

You determine which specific public information is displayed through your settings on the social network.
We receive anonymous statistics (e.g., number of followers) from the social networks regarding the use and engagement with our company page. The legal basis for the transfer of your data within the respective social networks is your consent, which you may revoke at any time without formalities, pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the DSGVO. The legal basis for the use of statistical data is Article 6(1)(f) of the DSGVO. We cannot link the statistical data to the profile data of our visitors.
We receive your personal data via social media platforms when you actively provide it to us through a private message. We use your data (e.g., first name, last name, username, email address) to respond to your inquiry. Your data will be stored until this purpose has been fulfilled. The legal basis for processing when you actively contact us is your consent within the meaning of Article 6(1), first sentence, (a) of the DSGVO. If your message relates to a (pre-)contractual relationship with us, the legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1), first sentence, (b) of the DSGVO.
To the extent that we receive personal data from you via a social network, the processing of this data is carried out under joint responsibility with the respective social network.
