Disclaimer
Liability for content
The content of our pages was created with the utmost care. However, we cannot guarantee that the content is correct, complete and up to date. As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with general laws pursuant to Section 7(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). Under Sections 8 to 10 TMG, however, we are not obliged as a service provider to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that suggest illegal activity. Obligations to remove or block the use of information according to general laws remain unaffected by this. However, liability in this respect is only possible from the time we become aware of an actual infringement of the law. If we become aware of any such infringements, we will remove the content immediately.
Copyright
The content and works created by the site operators on these pages are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, processing, distribution or any form of commercialization of such material beyond the scope of copyright law requires the prior written consent of its author or creator. You may only download and copy this page for private, non-commercial use. Where the content on this page was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are respected. In particular, third-party content is identified as such. Should you nevertheless become aware of a copyright infringement, we ask that you notify us accordingly. If we become aware of any infringements, we will remove such content immediately.

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
Website hosting
The server infrastructure for this website is hosted by IP-Projects GmbH & Co. KG, Am Vogelherd 14, 97295 Waldbrunn, Germany. Hosting involves the technical processing and storage of website data, connection data and enquiries submitted through the website. More information about the provider is available in its legal notice and privacy information.
Hosting serves the secure, reliable and efficient provision of this website, based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where processing is necessary for a contract or steps requested before entering a contract, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies. Cloudflare’s separate delivery and security functions are described under “Plugins and tools” below.
Processing on our behalf
We have concluded the required data processing agreements with the providers that process personal data on our behalf, including our hosting provider and Cloudflare. Processing on our behalf is subject to the applicable contractual instructions and safeguards. Cloudflare’s separate processing as a controller for improving Turnstile is described below.
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]
Am Söldnermoos 17
85399 Hallbergmoos, Germany
T +49 89 544 93 90 0
M info(at)leadhunter.com
Munich Local Court HRB 316022
VAT ID applied for
Management: Tanja Brockmöller
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.
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.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies
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.
Consent with Usercentrics
This website uses the consent technology of Usercentrics to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your terminal device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this consent in accordance with data protection law. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, website: https://usercentrics.com/de/ (hereinafter “Usercentrics”).
When you enter our website, the following personal data is transferred to Usercentrics:
Your consent(s) or withdrawal of your consent(s)
Your IP address
Information about your browser
Information about your terminal device
The time of your visit to the website
Usercentrics also saves a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consent you have given or its withdrawal to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. 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.
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.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
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.
Contact form and internal enquiry management
When you contact us through this website, we process the details you enter: name, company, email address and, if provided, job title, telephone number and message. We use these details to answer your enquiry and deal with follow-up questions. Required fields are marked in the form.
Your enquiry is processed in our website system and sent to our designated email recipients. Following successful handover to the mail system, it is also transferred to our access-restricted internal enquiry dashboard. If this transfer is temporarily unavailable, a local queue retries delivery. The queued message is removed after the dashboard confirms receipt; this does not delete the enquiry from the dashboard, the website’s enquiry records or the email inbox. Access is restricted to authorised personnel and service providers supporting these systems. The internal transfer does not include the Turnstile token, visitor IP address or advertising identifiers.
We process enquiries relating to a contract or steps you request before entering a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Other enquiries are processed under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in responding to and organising enquiries. Sending a message or completing the spam check is not consent to advertising or analytics.
Enquiry data is retained for the handling of your request and any necessary follow-up, subject to applicable legal retention requirements. You may contact the responsible entity named in this notice to exercise your data protection rights. There is no fixed automatic deletion period configured for enquiry records; retention and deletion must also cover the website records, dashboard, mailboxes and backup copies.
request by email, phone or fax
If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, to the extent that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to implement pre-contractual measures. 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 send us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Registration on this website
You can register on this website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only to enable you to use the particular offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will decline the registration.
For important changes, for example in the scope of the offer or in the case of technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration in order to inform you accordingly.
The data entered during registration is processed in order to implement the user relationship established by the registration and, if necessary, to initiate further contracts (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).
The data collected during registration is stored by us as long as you are registered on this website and is then deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Calendly
On our website, it is possible to arrange appointments with us. We use the tool “Calendly” for booking appointments. The provider is Calendly LLC, 271 17th St NW, 10th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30363, USA (hereinafter “Calendly”).
To arrange an appointment, simply enter the requested data and the desired date in the form provided for this purpose. The data entered will be used to plan, carry out and, if necessary, follow up on the appointment. The appointment data is stored for us on the servers of Calendly, whose privacy policy you can view here: https://calendly.com/de/pages/privacy.
The data you enter 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. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
The legal basis for the data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in making it as uncomplicated as possible to arrange appointments with interested parties and customers. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TTDSG. 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://calendly.com/pages/dpa.
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.
5. Analytics tools and advertising
Google Analytics 4 — only with your consent
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this website. The service is provided by Google Ireland Limited. It is loaded only after you expressly agree to Google Analytics in our cookie settings. If you do not agree, we do not load the Analytics script or send Analytics measurement requests. You can withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie settings; this stops further Analytics collection and removes the Analytics cookies set by this integration. The legal basis for this processing is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
After consent, Google receives technical connection information, cookie-based identifiers, information about your browser/device and website usage. We measure page views, clicks on email and telephone links, and clicks leading to our booking page. A contact-form event is recorded only after the website confirms handoff to its mailer; this does not prove inbox delivery. A booking-link click is not treated as a completed appointment. We do not send contact-form contents, names, email addresses or telephone numbers as Analytics event parameters. Query strings and fragments are removed from the page and referrer URLs supplied by this integration. Automatic enhanced measurement of forms, outbound links and searches is disabled.
Analytics cookies set by this integration expire after a maximum of 60 days and are not extended by each visit. The property is configured to retain event-level data for two months and user-level data for fourteen months, with user-data retention reset on new activity. Aggregated standard reports may remain available for longer. The Analytics identifiers and historical reports are not the same as the enquiries stored in our internal enquiry management.
Google may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Further information about Google’s processing and applicable safeguards is available in Google’s Privacy Policy and information about partner sites. Our internal dashboard retrieves aggregated reports from our own Analytics property; it does not activate advertising or transfer enquiry contents to Google Analytics.
Google Ads and Microsoft Advertising — separate advertising consent
With your consent to the respective service in our cookie settings, we use Google Ads conversion tracking (Google Ireland Limited) and Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited). These services help attribute website interactions to advertising. Consent to Analytics alone does not activate these advertising services, and advertising consent alone does not activate Analytics. The legal basis for this processing is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. No advertising library is loaded by this integration before consent to that service.
After consent, these providers can receive technical connection and browser information, page URLs, cookie-based identifiers and advertising click identifiers. Google Ads receives events for clicks on email and telephone links and for confirmed handoff of contact-form messages to the website’s mailer. Microsoft Advertising also receives page views and the corresponding contact events. We retain the website’s existing advertising tag identifiers. We do not send form contents, names, email addresses or telephone numbers as conversion parameters, and automatic enhanced conversions are not enabled by this integration. A booking-link click is not reported as a confirmed appointment. Query strings and fragments are excluded from page URLs supplied as event parameters.
You can withdraw consent separately for each service through the cookie settings. This stops further contact-event transmission by this integration, changes the provider’s consent signal to denied, and removes the first-party advertising cookies and Microsoft tracking storage managed by this integration. A library already loaded during that page visit may send a technical consent-status signal when you withdraw consent; it is not loaded again on subsequent page visits without consent. Information about the providers’ cookies and storage periods is available in our cookie settings and their privacy notices. Advertising click cookies created directly by this integration expire after ninety days.
These providers may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Please see Google’s Privacy Policy and the Microsoft Privacy Statement for their processing and applicable safeguards. Our internal dashboard does not import advertising account statistics until the appropriate account has been verified.
Google Signals, Google advertising personalisation/remarketing, Microsoft Clarity, Leadfeeder/Dealfront, Mautic and WiredMinds remain disabled in this integration. The existing Google Tag Manager container is not loaded; the consented services are configured directly.
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
Cloudflare Turnstile
We use Cloudflare Turnstile, provided by Cloudflare, Inc., to protect our contact forms from automated abuse and spam. The check loads when the form’s protection area approaches the visible part of the page or when you focus a form field. It may ask you to confirm that you are human.
Your browser connects to Cloudflare for the check. Cloudflare processes technical signals such as your IP address, browser information and connection characteristics. Our separate server-side validation sends the verification token to Cloudflare, not the contents of your form fields. A successful check is required before we process the form submission. This is a security check, not consent to marketing.
Our purpose is to protect the website and enquiry processing from abuse; we rely on our legitimate interest in this security under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Cloudflare describes its processing on our behalf and its separate responsibility for improving bot detection in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum. Cloudflare may process data outside the EU/EEA, including in the USA. Information on its processing, retention, international transfers and your rights is available in that addendum and its Privacy Policy.
Cloudflare website delivery and security
Separately from Turnstile, this website uses Cloudflare as a reverse proxy and content delivery network. Website requests pass through Cloudflare before reaching our web server. This involves processing connection and request data, including IP addresses, requested URLs and browser information, to deliver the website, cache static resources and protect it from attacks. Form submission traffic also passes through this delivery infrastructure; the statement above about token-only validation refers specifically to the separate Turnstile validation request.
We use these delivery and security functions on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure and reliable website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy for information on its international processing and safeguards.
