1. Scope of processing personal data

In general, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website with our content and services. The regular processing of personal data only takes place with the consent of the user. Exceptions include cases where prior consent cannot be technically obtained and where the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for data processing

Where consent is appropriate for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of their data.

As for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is party, Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual activities.

When it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or that of a third party, and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the interest of the former, Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (f) GDPR will serve as the legal basis for the processing of data.

3. Data removal and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage has been accomplished. Additional storage may occur if this is provided for by the European or national legislator within the EU regulations, law, or other relevant regulations to which the data controller is subject. Restriction or erasure of the data also takes place when the storage period stipulated by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to prolong the storage of the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling a respective contract.

When your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and have the following rights:

1. Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

You may request the data controller to confirm whether your personal data is processed by them.

If such processing occurs, you can request the following information from the data controller:

• Purposes of processing

• Categories of personal data being processed

• Recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed

• Planned storage period or the criteria for determining this period

• The existence of the rights of rectification, erasure or restriction or opposition

• The existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

• If applicable, origin of the data (if collected from a third party)

• If applicable, existence of automated decision-making including profiling with meaningful information about the logic involved, the scope and the effects to be expected

• If applicable, transfer of personal data to a third country or international organization

2. Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

You have a right to rectification and/or modification of the data, if your processed personal data is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller must correct the data without delay.

3. Right to the restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:

• If you challenge the accuracy of your personal data for a period that enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of your personal data;

• The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of their use instead;

• The data controller or its representative no longer need the personal data for the purpose of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or

• If you have objected to the processing pursuant and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate interests of the data controller override your interests.

4. Right to erasure ("Right to be forgotten") (Art. 17 GDPR)

If one of the following reasons applies, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data without undue delay:

• Personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed.

• You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to and where there is no other legal basis for processing the data.

• You object to the processing of the data and there are no longer overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or you object pursuant to Art. 21 para. (2) GDPR.

• Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.

• The personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation in Union law or Member State law to which we are subject.

• Your personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 para. (1) GDPR.

The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary:

• to exercise the right to freedom of speech and information;

• to fulfil a legal obligation required by the law of the Union or Member States to which we are subject, or to perform a task of public interest or in the exercise of public authority delegated to the representative;

• for reasons of public interest in the field of public health;

• for archival purposes of public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes;

• to enforce, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller.

6. Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have, at any time, the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (e) or 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If the personal data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data in regard to such advertising; this also applies to profiling associated with direct marketing.

7. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and relevant information from the computer system of the calling device.

The following data is collected:

• Browser type and version used

• The user's operating system

• The IP address of the user

• Date and time of access

• Web pages from which the user’s system accessed our website

• Web pages accessed by the user’s system through our website

• Amount of data transferred in each case

• Browser language

This data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary for the delivery of the website to the computer of the user. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.

The storage in logfiles is done to ensure the functionality of the website. The data is also used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place.

For the aforementioned purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of data in compliance with Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (f) GDPR.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and logfiles is Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (f) GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. The session is complete when the collection of data for the provision of the website is accomplished.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is not possible.

5. Objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. The user can object to this. Whether the objection is successful is to be determined within the framework of a balancing of interests.

1. Description, scope and purpose of data processing

Further information and options for making decisions can be found under “Settings” in the footer at the bottom of the website.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The provisions of the German Federal Act on Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Digital Services (TDDDG) are relevant for the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment and/or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment. If the setting and reading of cookies is technically necessary, this is done to ensure the functionality of our website. In this case, the storage of and access to cookies on your terminal equipment is carried out on the basis of § 25 para. (2) no. 2 TDDDG. This storage of and access to the information in your terminal equipment serves to facilitate your use of our website and to be able to offer you our services as you have requested. Some functions of our website also do not work without the use of these cookies and could therefore not be offered. The cookies are generally deleted after the session ends (e.g. logging out or closing the browser) or after the expiry of a specified duration. Information on different storage periods for cookies can be found in the preceding Sections of this Privacy Policy.

Insofar as cookies are used that are not technically necessary, this is done on the basis of your express consent, which you can give via the cookie banner. The basis for storing and accessing information in this case is § 25 para. (1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (a), Art. 7 GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future or subsequently grant it again by configuring your settings for cookies accordingly. Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note that the browser settings you make only affect the browser you are using. If personal data is processed following the storage of and access to the information on your terminal equipment, the provisions of the GDPR are relevant. Information on this can be found in the preceding Sections of this Privacy Policy.

1. Description and scope of data processing

You can subscribe to a newsletter and/or the GEMÜNews on our website free of charge. When subscribing, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us.

No data will be passed on to third parties in connection with data processing for the dispatch of newsletters and/or GEMÜNews. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter and/or the GEMÜNews.

Our newsletter and our GEMÜNews-Email contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be statistically analysed. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we can recognise whether and when an email was opened by the user and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

The data required for shipping (e.g. email address, shipping history) may also be stored in our internal CRM system in order to manage your contact preferences and customer communications.

For more information on the "Inxmail" tool we use, the user can refer to Section XIX. of this Privacy Policy ("Usage of Plugins" subsection "Use of Inxmail").

2. Purpose of data processing

The user's email address is collected to deliver the newsletter and/or the GEMÜNews to the recipient.

Additional personal data as part of the registration process is collected to prevent misuse of the services or email address.

Personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters or the GEMÜNews are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimise the dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters and/or GEMÜNews even better to the interests of the user.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data provided by the user after registration for the newsletter and/or the GEMÜNews is Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (a) GDPR if the user has given his consent.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user's email address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter or the GEMÜNews subscription is active.

The other personal data collected during the registration process is generally deleted after a period of seven (7) days.

5. Objection and removal

The subscription for the newsletter or the GEMÜNews can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. For this purpose, every newsletter and every GEMÜNews contains an opt-out link.

Through this, it is also possible to withdraw the consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

Users are entitled at any time to revoke the declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure with regard to the collection of opening and click rates. After cancellation, this personal data will be deleted by us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter or the GEMÜNews is automatically interpreted as cancellation.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.

The micro website, which you can access via the link leap.gemu-group.com, is hosted for us by an agency at Webflow Inc. Further information on Webflow Inc can be found in Section XIX. of this Privacy Policy.

The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The stored information is:

• Browser type and version

• Used operating system

• Referrer URL

• Hostname of the accessing computer

• Time and date of the server request

• IP address of the user's device

This data will not be merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - and server log files are therefore recorded.

The server of the website is geographically located in Germany.

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (e.g. the postal code used for registration or ordering) to approach regional target groups (so-called "geotargeting").

The regional target group approach is used, for example, to automatically display regional offers or advertisements that often are more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) is Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for our users.

Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) are merely processed and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localisation. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate a location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (as far as this is supported by the respective browser).

We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

• Forwarding to the corresponding country/language page

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use Turnstile from Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, c/o Mindspace, 80331 Munich, Germany (hereinafter: Cloudflare) to deliver content from our website via a network of servers distributed worldwide. In individual cases, personal data may be transferred to servers belonging to Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Use of Google Analytics 4 with client-side and server-side data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use Google Analytics 4 in conjunction with server-side tracking on this website to better understand user behaviour on our website and to continuously optimise our content.

While the actual processing and forwarding of tracking data primarily takes place via a server operated by us (server-side tracking), certain collection processes continue to be carried out in the user's browser (client-side) – for example, by setting technical identifiers (such as cookies) or by triggering events via the client-side Google Tag Manager (GTM).

This configuration allows us to perform a more privacy-friendly analysis, as we have control over which data is pseudonymised and passed on to third parties (e.g. Google). Among other things, we can collect and analyse pseudonymised device and browser settings, pages visited, click behaviour, and the time and duration of page visits.

Among other things, an FPID cookie (First Party Identifier) is set. This cookie is HttpOnly and therefore cannot be read by JavaScript in the browser. Technically, it replaces the conventional ga cookie and stores a pseudonymised user ID on the subdomain.

In addition, if activated, an FPLC cookie (hashed FPID) can be used for cross-domain tracking. This cookie can be read via JavaScript and contains a hash value for tracking users across different domains. The FPLC is only set if cross-domain tracking is required.

2. Purpose of data processing

Server-side processing is carried out for the following purposes:

• Analysis of website usage to optimise functionality and content,

• Creation of pseudonymised usage profiles to improve the offering,

• Ensuring data protection-compliant tracking by controlling data transfer.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The storage of cookies and access to information on the user's terminal device is only carried out in accordance with § 25 para. (1) of the German Federal Act on Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Digital Services (TDDDG) after express consent has been given via our cookie banner. The subsequent processing of personal data (such as IP address, usage data) is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (a) GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

Personal data will only be stored for as long as necessary for the aforementioned purposes. As a rule, data in Google Analytics 4 is automatically deleted after fourteen (14) months , unless longer storage is required due to legal retention obligations. We can provide you with a detailed retention period for server-side storage of data upon request, as this depends on the configuration of the respective server infrastructure.

5. Possibility of revocation of consent and removal

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data within the scope of Google Analytics 4 at any time. You can withdraw your consent by changing the cookie settings in our cookie banner or by changing your browser settings to refuse the use of cookies. You can also prevent cookies from being stored at any time by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. Please note, however, that disabling cookies may result in some features of this website no longer being available or only being available to a limited extent.

You also have the option of preventing Google Analytics from processing your personal data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. This add-on completely blocks tracking by Google Analytics. For more information, please visit: Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

If you wish to have your personal data deleted or corrected in other contexts, you can contact us at any time.

Use of Google Tag Manager

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use the Google Tag Manager (https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/en/about/tag-manager/) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and its representative in the Union Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, D04 E5W5, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as Google).

We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) on this website in a combined client-side and server-side configuration, including what is known as first-party mode. The client-side GTM is executed directly in the user's browser and is used to trigger tags that are used, for example, for web analysis or marketing purposes.

In addition, we operate a Google Tag Manager Server Container (SGTM) for server-side tagging, in which tracking data is first sent to a server controlled by us and processed there.

The Tag Manager itself does not process any personal data directly, but it can activate or control services that collect and process personal data.

In the context of server-side tracking, processing is carried out via our own tracking server. Special cookies such as FPID (First Party Identifier) and, if necessary, FPLC (First Party Link Click ID) are also used:

• In first-party mode, technical identifiers (such as FPID) are not set by third-party providers, but via our own subdomain. This further restricts the transfer of personal data to third parties, and cookies are set as first-party cookies (HttpOnly).

• FPLC is a hashed, JavaScript-readable cookie that supports cross-domain tracking (only when enabled).

For more information about the Google Tag Manager, please visit https://support.google.com/tagmanager/?hl=en and see Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

2. Purpose of data processing

The purpose of integrating Google Tag Manager is to enable centralised, clear management of website tags and efficient triggering of third-party services on our website. Server-side execution of tags via our own infrastructure ensures that personal data is only processed with your consent and is only passed on to selected services in a controlled manner. Google Tag Manager itself does not process any personal data.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the user's given consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (a) GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

Google Tag Manager itself does not store any personal data. Storage only takes place in the services triggered via Tag Manager. The duration of storage therefore depends exclusively on the information provided in the Sections on the respective third-party providers (e.g. Google Analytics) in this Privacy Policy.

5. Possibility of revocation of consent and removal

You can revoke your consent to the use of Google Tag Manager at any time with future effect, e.g. via our consent management tool.

Revocation means that no further third-party tags will be triggered via Google Tag Manager.

Please note that Google Tag Manager itself does not process any user data, but only controls other services. Information on the revocation options for the respective integrated services (e.g. Google Analytics) can be found in the corresponding Sections of this Privacy Policy.

Analysis or reporting tools

Use of Looker Studio

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use Google Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio) on this website to display interactive dashboards and visual analyses based on data collected by Google Analytics 4. Looker Studio is used exclusively to visualise analysis results that have been previously aggregated and pseudonymised using data protection-compliant tools such as GA4.

Looker Studio processes the pseudonymised usage data from GA4 for visualisation purposes and does not store any user data permanently.

2. Purpose of data processing

The purpose of using Looker Studio is:

• visual presentation of aggregated analysis data on website performance,

• internal optimisation of user experiences and online marketing measures,

• data-based decision-making based on pseudonymised reports.

Looker Studio is used exclusively to display data that has already been processed and does not process any directly identifiable information.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in connection with the use of Looker Studio is Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the creation of anonymised data reports to improve the performance of our website and to analyse user behaviour. If you have given your consent to the use of Looker Studio in connection with other tools (e.g. Google Analytics), the processing is based on Art. 6 para. (1) sen. (1) lit. (a) GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

The reports we create in Looker Studio are based on data generated by Google Analytics and other sources. The storage period for personal data is based on the retention periods of the underlying data sources (e.g. Google Analytics), whereby the data is generally deleted after twelve (12) months. The reports and dashboards in Looker Studio itself do not store any personal data, but access the aggregated and anonymised data from the linked sources. The duration of data storage therefore depends on the respective settings and retention policies of the tools used.

5. Possibility of revocation of consent and removal

Since Looker Studio only displays data from other tools, you can influence its data processing via the respective underlying services.

You can revoke your consent to use these tools (e.g. Google Analytics 4) at any time via our cookie consent tool.

To prevent the use of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. The add-on blocks tracking and prevents the transmission of usage data to Google Analytics, which also affects the processing of data in Looker Studio. For more information on disabling Google Analytics, please visit: Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

In addition, you can contact us at any time to correct or delete your personal data or to receive a detailed overview of the data we store.

LinkedIn Insight-Tag

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We use the LinkedIn Insight-Tag on our website, a marketing product of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (LinkedIn Ireland/EU). The LinkedIn Insight-Tag is a JavaScript code snippet that is triggered by LinkedIn when you visit our website and stores a cookie on the device you are using.

We can use the LinkedIn Insight-Tag to perform various functions, which we describe in detail below.

LinkedIn conversion tracking is an analysis function that is supported by the LinkedIn Insight-Tag. The LinkedIn Insight-Tag enables the collection of data on visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics (user agent) and timestamp. The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach members across devices) hashed. LinkedIn does not provide us with any personal data, but only offers reports (in which you are not identified) about the website target group and ad performance.

We also use the "Matched Audiences" service to target our advertising campaigns to specific audiences. LinkedIn Matched Audiences and related data integrations allow us to target advertising to specific audiences based on data we provide to LinkedIn (e.g. company lists, hashed contact information, device identifiers or event data such as websites visited).

We have entered into a joint controller agreement with LinkedIn, which sets out the allocation of data protection obligations between us and LinkedIn. You can view this here: https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum/.

LinkedIn only transfers personal data to countries for which an adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR exists or on the basis of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR.
