When contacting our Data Protection Officer, please specify the company to which your request relates. Please refrain from enclosing sensitive information such as a copy of an identification document with your request.
Definitions
Our privacy policy should be simple and understandable for everyone. For this reason, our privacy policy generally uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.
Access to and storage of information in terminal equipment
By using our website, access to information (e.g. IP address) or storage of information (e.g. cookies) in your terminal equipment may occur. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data pursuant to the GDPR.
In cases where such access to information or such storage of information is strictly necessary for the technically error-free delivery of our services, this is done on the basis of § 25 (1) s. 1, (2) no. 2 TTDSG.
In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), this will only be carried out on the basis of § 25 (1) TTDSG with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
For more information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal basis in this context, please refer to the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.
Web Hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). This website is hosted in the EU. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, web page accesses and other data generated by a website. We collect the listed data to ensure a proper connection to the website and an error-free delivery of our services. The processing of this data is strictly necessary to make the website available to you. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the correct presentation and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with the provider in accordance with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we commit him to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.
For further hosting services (including the hosting of photos), we also use the provider "AWS" (Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38, avenue John F. Kennedy, 1855 Luxembourg) on this website. Personal data (including the IP address) may be transmitted to this provider when you visit the website. We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with AWS in accordance with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we commit AWS to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties. Since a transfer of personal data by AWS to affiliates and sub-processors to countries outside the EU and EEA is possible, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Amazon.com, Inc. and other AWS affiliates are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and are therefore committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search. For potential transfers to other countries outside the EU and the EEA, for which no adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the country outside the EU to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
Server- Logfiles
Once you visit our website, it is technically necessary that data is transmitted to our web server via your internet browser. The following data is recorded during an active connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
Date and time of the request
Name of the requested file
Page from which the file was requested
Access status
Web browser used and operating system used
(Full) IP address of the requesting computer
Transmitted amount of data

The processing of this data is strictly necessary to make the website available to you. The log files are processed for the purpose of evaluating system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The log files serve to evaluate system security and stability as well as administrative purposes. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the protection and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server, we may temporarily store this data. After 180 days at the latest, the data is made anonymous by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. This data is not evaluated in anonymous form except for statistical purposes. This data is not combined with data from other data sources.
Contact form and e-mail
If you send us an enquiry using the contact form or by e-mail, we will store the information you provide on the form or in your e-mail, including your contact details, for the purposes of processing your enquiry and for any follow-up enquiries. Under no circumstances will we pass on this information without your consent. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and, where applicable, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request is for the purpose of concluding a contract. Your data will be deleted after processing your request, unless there is a legal obligation to retain the data. You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time in the case of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Advertising
If we have obtained your e-mail address from you in connection with the sale of a product or service and have indicated this at the time of collection, we may use this address for direct advertising of our own similar goods or services.

You can object to this use at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.
Comments and Community
As a registered customer of our website, you can leave comments on individual courses and articles. To do this, we need your name or the pseudonym you have chosen in your customer account. Your comment will be linked to your account. This link is made for security reasons and to be able to contact you if a comment infringes the rights of a third party or contains illegal content.
The storage and publication of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal e-mail. The lawfulness of data processing already carried out shall remain unaffected by the revocation.
The storage of additional information (link to customer account) is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in the traceability of the comments and their authors, as we can be prosecuted for illegal content on our website, even if it was created by users. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to as unlawful by third parties.
Google Fonts
We use "Google Fonts" on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as: "Google"). Google Fonts enables us to use external fonts. For this purpose, the required Google Fonts are loaded into your browser cache by our web server when you access our website. This is necessary so that your browser can display a visually improved representation of our texts. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font will be used by your computer for display.
The fonts are hosted by us and therefore are not loaded by an external provider. This requires the processing of your IP address.
We use Google Fonts for optimization purposes, in particular to improve the use of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly. The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are either temporarily stored on your end device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or an automatic solution is provided by your web browser.
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or language settings). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or display advertising.
The processing of data using strictly necessary cookies is based on a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in the technically error-free delivery of our services. For details on the processing purposes and legitimate interests, please refer to the following explanations on the specific data processing.
The processing of personal data using other cookies is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Insofar as such cookies are used for analysis and optimisation purposes, we will inform you separately about this in this privacy policy and obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
You can set your browser to
be informed about the setting of cookies,
only allow cookies in individual cases,
exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally,
activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed.
The cookie settings can be managed under the following links for each browser:
You can also manage cookies of many companies and functions used for advertising individually. To do so, use the appropriate user tools, available at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.
Most browsers also offer a so-called "do-not-track function". When this feature is enabled, the browser tells ad networks, websites, and applications that you do not want to be "tracked" for behavioural advertising and the like.
For information and instructions on how to edit this feature, please refer to the links below, depending on your browser provider:
Google Chrome
Mozilla Firefox
Edge (Microsoft)
Safari
Opera
Change cookie settings
You can withdraw or change your cookie preferences at any time. You can do this by accessing the cookie settings again via the link in the footer of our website (at the bottom of our website).
Google Tag Manager
This website uses the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and only the user's IP address is transmitted to Google to establish a connection. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made on domain or cookie level, it will remain for all tracking tags as long as they are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.
We use the Google Tag Manager based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Since a transfer of personal data by Google to affiliates and sub-processors to countries outside the EU and EEA is possible, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search
For potential transfers to other countries outside the EU and the EEA, for which no adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the country outside the EU to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which can be utilized to analyze the use of websites.
When using Google Analytics 4, so-called "cookies" are used. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your terminal device, of which the last digits are shortened, see below) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also result in the transmission of information to the servers of Google LLC, a company based in the U.S., where the information is further processed.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your terminal device during your use of the website is always collected and processed automatically and by default only in a shortened form, so that a direct reference of the collected information to your person is excluded. This automatic anonymization is carried out by Google shortening the IP address transmitted by your terminal device within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) by the last digits.
On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about your website activities and usage behavior, and to provide us with other services related to your website and internet usage. In this context, the shortened IP address transmitted by your terminal device in the context of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other data from Google. The data collected during the use of Google Analytics 4 will be retained for 12 months and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 also enables the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of website users on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the involvement of third-party information via a special function, the so-called "demographic characteristics". This makes it possible to determine and distinguish between groups of website users for the purpose of targeted marketing measures. However, data collected via the "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person and thus not to you personally. This data collected via the "demographic characteristics" function is retained for 12 months and then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the placement of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and reading of information on the terminal device used by you for the use of the website, will only take place if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the website.
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, the "UserIDs" function is also used for this website. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called "cross-device tracking"). This means that your usage behavior can also be analyzed across devices if you have given your corresponding consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, if you have set up a personal account by registering on this website and are logged into your personal account on different end devices with your relevant login data. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, which end device was used to click on an ad for the first time and which end device was used for conversion.
We have concluded a so-called data processing agreement with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, by which Google is obliged to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.
Since a transfer of personal data by Google to affiliates and sub-processors to countries outside the EU and EEA is possible, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search
For potential transfers to other countries outside the EU and the EEA, for which no adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the country outside the EU to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
Further legal information on Google Analytics 4, including a copy of the aforementioned standard contractual clauses, can be found at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Details on the processing triggered by Google Analytics 4 and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Google Ads
We use "Google Ads" on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Ads is used by us for marketing and optimisation purposes, in particular to display ads that are relevant and interesting to you.
If you have given us your consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) s. 1 lit. a GDPR, we can use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers by using advertising material on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are.
These advertising media is delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". We use AdServer cookies for this purpose, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of the ads or clicks by users, can be measured.
If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: Unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an ad client's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the client will be able to tell that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is associated with each ad client. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of ad clients. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned above. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. By means of these evaluations we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. To the best of our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and save your IP address.
Since a transfer of personal data by Google to affiliates and sub-processors to countries outside the EU and EEA is possible, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search
For potential transfers to other countries outside the EU and the EEA, for which no adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the country outside the EU to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
Further information on data use by Google, on setting and objection options as well as on data protection can be found on the following Google websites:
- Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Google website statistics: https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html
You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and deactivating the storage of cookies in the settings of your web browser. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" (https://www.google.de/settings/ads). We would like to point out that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies. In addition, you can deactivate interest-related advertisements by clicking on the link http://optout.aboutads.info. Please note that this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.
Google Marketing Platform (formerly DoubleClick)
This website uses DoubleClick of the Google Marketing Platform, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to you. This involves assigning a pseudonymous identification number (ID) to your browser or device to help us verify which ads have been displayed on your browser and which ads have been viewed. This can improve campaign performance or, for example, prevent you from seeing the same ad more than once. Google may also use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. For example, when a user sees a campaign manager ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, the cookies do not contain any personal information. If you have given us your consent, the data will be processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Due to the technology used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and save your IP address.
Since a transfer of personal data by Google to affiliates and sub-processors to countries outside the EU and EEA is possible, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search
For potential transfers to other countries outside the EU and the EEA, for which no adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the country outside the EU to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

Microsoft Advertising (Bing Ads and Bing Conversion)
Our website uses Bing Ads from Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA ("Microsoft") for marketing and analytics purposes.
This service allows us to track activity on our site when you visit our site from a Bing ad. This is done by placing a cookie (small text file) on your device when you click on a Microsoft Bing ad, if you have given your consent under Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. We also use a UET tag on our websites. This is a code that, in combination with the cookie, is used to store pseudonymised data about the use of the website in the event of your consent. The tag, in combination with the cookie, collects pseudonymised data to track what actions you take on our websites after clicking on a Microsoft Ads advertisement. The information collected may include the time you spent on the site, the areas of the site you visited, and the ad that brought you to the site. In particular, Microsoft and we learn the total number of users who clicked on an ad and reached a predefined landing page. Microsoft processes and uses the cookies to create usage profiles using pseudonyms, to analyse user behaviour and to display advertisements. In addition, Microsoft may track your usage across several of your electronic devices through cross-device tracking.
Microsoft stores this information for 180 days.
Since a transfer of personal data to Microsoft Corporation based in the U.S. takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Microsoft Corporation is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is thus committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.

AWIN Affiliate Programme
We use the performance advertising network of AWIN AG, Landsberger Allee 104 BC, 10249 Berlin on our website. AWIN is a German affiliate network and acts as an interface between merchants and affiliates.
Affiliate marketing is an Internet-based form of distribution that enables commercial website operators, known as merchants or advertisers, to display advertising on third-party websites, i.e. with distribution partners, also known as affiliates or publishers, which is usually remunerated through click or sales commissions. Through the affiliate network, the merchant provides an advertising medium, i.e. an advertising banner or other suitable means of Internet advertising, which is subsequently integrated by an affiliate on its own websites or promoted through other channels, such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.
As part of its services, AWIN uses tracking cookies on the end devices of users who visit or use its customers' websites or other online offerings in order to document transactions (e.g. leads and sales). AWIN's tracking cookies store information about when a particular advertising medium was clicked on by an end device. AWIN's tracking cookies also store a unique sequence of numbers, which cannot be assigned to the individual user, to document an advertiser's affiliate programme, the publisher and the time of the user's action (click or view). AWIN also collects information about the device from which a transaction is made, such as the operating system and the calling browser. The purpose of storing this data is to process commission payments between a merchant and the affiliate, which are processed via the affiliate network, i.e. AWIN. To the extent that the information also contains personal data, the described processing is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
AWIN's privacy policy can be found at https://www.awin.com/de/rechtliches/privacy-policy.
