Privacy policy

1. Data protection at a glance

General

The following provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data means any data by which you can be personally identified. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our privacy policy as set out below this text.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Contact details can be found in the section “Note on the responsible entity” in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?
On the one hand, your data is collected by the fact that you provide us with it. This may be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is made available without error. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to ask for this data to be corrected or deleted. If you have given your consent to data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time in the future. You also have the right to ask that the processing of your personal data be restricted in certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of data protection.

Third-party analytics and tools

When visiting this website, your browsing behavior may be evaluated statistically. This is done mainly with so-called analytics programs.
For detailed information about these analytics programs, please see the privacy policy below.

2. Hosting

This may in particular include IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communication data, contractual data, contact data, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Our hoster will process your data only to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill its service obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data.

We use the following hoster:
united-domains AG
Gautinger Straße 10
82319 Starnberg, Germany

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that this processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

3. General notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data means data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. It is not possible to protect the data completely from access by third parties.

Note on the responsible entity
The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:
LEADHUNTER UG (haftungsbeschränkt) [an entrepreneurial company with limited liability]
Theresienhöhe 28, 1st Floor
80339 Munich, Germany
Phone: +49 89 544 93 90 0
Email: info@leadhunter.com

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Duration of storage
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

Data protection officer
We have appointed a data protection officer for our company.
ER Secure GmbH
In der Knackenau 4
82031 Grünwald, Germany
Phone: [Phone number of the data protection officer]
Email: datenschutz@leadhunter.com

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable with that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, U.S. companies are required to release personal data to security authorities without you, the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore possible that U.S. authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you have previously given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until such withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(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 LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IN EACH CASE CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 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 UNDER ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of complaint exists 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 performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you ask for the data to be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible to do so.

SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. 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, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to ask that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us about this at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to ask that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may ask that the processing of your data be restricted instead of requesting its deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to ask that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of requesting its deletion.
If you have lodged a complaint under Article 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 ask that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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 a Member State.

Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending advertising and information material not expressly requested is hereby prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Our internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not harm your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your terminal device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), to provide certain functions that you have requested (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure that its services are provided in a technically error-free and optimized manner. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the cookies concerned is based exclusively on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately within the framework of this privacy policy and, if necessary, ask for your consent.

Mandatory legal storage obligations remain unaffected.

Usercentrics is used to obtain consents for the use of certain technologies as required by law. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring that its website is presented in a technically error-free manner and that it is optimized – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of requests addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to store it or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have finished processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analytics tools and advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to embed tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not perform any independent analyses. It is only used for the administration and playout of the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager logs your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on his website. If a corresponding consent was requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of visitors to the website. In this context, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data may be compiled by Google in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or his/her terminal device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognized for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If a corresponding consent was requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting 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. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information 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 in connection with Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can find more information on the handling of user data at Google Analytics in the Google privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Data stored at Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Mautic

We use the marketing tool Mautic. The provider is Acquia Inc, 53 State St, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, USA (hereinafter Mautic).

Mautic is a tool for optimizing and automating our marketing activities. Among other things, Mautic allows us to build landing pages and

forms, plan, execute and evaluate marketing campaigns, and manage our customer data.

We can also analyze the user behavior of our website visitors. Based on this information, further marketing actions can be triggered. For example, we can record which customer has downloaded from us and is therefore eligible for certain further marketing measures.

Mautic uses technologies that enable the user to be recognized across pages for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). Website visitors are assigned an individual ID by which they can be recognized when they visit the website again. The IP address, the language of the user, URLs visited and the time of access are also recorded via Mautic.

The use of Mautic is based on the legitimate interest of the controller in optimizing its marketing campaigns. If a corresponding consent was requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

IP anonymization
We use Mautic with anonymized IP. Your IP address is shortened within the Mautic application so that it can no longer be directly attributed to you.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms in Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted advertisements can be played out on the basis of the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to our ads being played and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.

The use of Google Ads is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its service products as effectively as possible.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Conversion Tracking allows Google and us to see whether the user has taken certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked on how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information that allows us to identify the user personally. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification purposes.

The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If a corresponding consent was requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can find more information about Google Conversion Tracking in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Analysis by WiredMinds

Our website uses counting pixel technology provided by WiredMinds GmbH (www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior. In connection with this, the IP address of the visitor is processed. The processing occurs only for the purpose of collecting company based information such as company name, for example. IP addresses of natural persons are excluded from any further processing by means of a whitelist. An IP address is not stored in LeadLab under any circumstances. While processing data, it is our outmost interest to protect the rights of natural persons. Our interest in processing data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. At no time is it possible to draw conclusions from the collected data on an identifiable person. WiredMinds GmbH uses this information to create anonymized usage profiles of the visit behavior on our website. Data obtained during this process is not used to personally identify visitors of our website. Opt-Out Please insert this opt-out link after the data protection notice: Exclude from tracking (A functionally necessary cookie will be set to permanently ensure no tracking by WiredMinds LeadLab occurs on this website)

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No other data is collected, or if so, then only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage, provided that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

7. Plugins and tools

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether the data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a person or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not made aware that an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of the data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from spam. If a corresponding consent was requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

For more information about Google reCAPTCHA, please see the Google privacy policy and the Google terms of service at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.
