We are delighted that you are interested in our enterprise. Data protection is a high priority for cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst. The use of the Internet pages of cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst.

As the controller, cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst has implemented various technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer required personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

The cookies enable us to optimise the information and offers on our website with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, delete any cookies stored via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, some functions of our website may not be entirely usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The website of cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The data collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using this general data and information, cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyberattack. Therefore, cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Subscription to our newsletters

On the website of cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst, users may be given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data is transmitted, including the time the newsletter was ordered.

cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst may send out a newsletter. The newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject has registered for the newsletter. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address given by the data subject when registering for the newsletter, the so-called double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove that the addressee of the e-mail is really the data subject who requested the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to investigate any (possible) misuse of the data subject’s e-mail address at a later date, and it therefore serves to provide legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send out our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may receive an e-mail from time to time if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or the registration for it, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of technical changes. There will be no disclosure of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The data subject may terminate the subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has provided in order to receive the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending an email to the controller or by post or telephone.

6. Newsletter-Tracking

The newsletter of cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst may contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were clicked on by the data subject.

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the sending of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued via the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

7. Contact possibility via the website

The website of cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst enables you to contact us by e-mail or an electronic contact form. If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via the contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

8. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website

The comments made in the blog of cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst may be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commenter subscribes to the comments following his comments on a particular blog post.

If a data subject decides to subscribe to the option, the controller will send an automatic confirmation e-mail to verify via the double opt-in procedure if it was really the owner of the specified e-mail address who subscribed to the option. The option to subscribe to comments may be terminated at any time.

9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period (i) necessary to achieve the dedicated purpose, or (ii) as long as allowed by the laws and regulations of the European legislator or other legislators applicable to the controller.

If the storage purpose is no longer applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the social network “Facebook”.

A social network is a place for social interaction on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and to network with each other through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a data subject lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When using one of the individual pages of the controller’s website in which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) is integrated, the web browser on the data subject’s IT system is automatically prompted to download the corresponding Facebook plugin from Facebook. An overview of all the Facebook plugins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on Facebook, Facebook may detect, with every click on our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook plugin and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Whenever the data subject is logged in on Facebook while surfing on our website, Facebook always receives, through the Facebook plugin, information about this visit. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such transmission of information to Facebook to take place, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before visiting our website.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to prevent the data transmission to Facebook which can be activated by the data subject.

12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller may have integrated a component called Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors on websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, and how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of Google Analytics is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For the web analytics through Google Analytics, the controller uses the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymized when accessing the websites from a member state of the European Union or another country party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of Google Analytics is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. When visiting one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject will automatically submit data via Google Analytics for the purpose of online advertising and determining applicable commissions for Google. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently determine any applicable commissions.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass the personal data collected through this technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser and thus permanently disable the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object to and prevent (i) the collection of data that is generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website, and (ii) the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers the installation of the browser add-ons an objection. If the IT system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or newly installed at a later point in time, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other authorized party, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data privacy provisions of Google may be retrieved at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Further information about Google Analytics is available at https://www.google.com/analytics/.

13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn

The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network mainly for business purposes that enables users to connect and make new business contacts. LinkedIn is used by over 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries. Thus, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. For privacy matters outside the United States, the following company is responsible: LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When using one of the individual pages of the controller’s website with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download the corresponding display of the LinkedIn component. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. Within the scope of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If, at the same time, the data subject is logged into LinkedIn, LinkedIn detects with each click on our website—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the LinkedIn plugin and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, then LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in at LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn button or not. If such a transmission of information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website is made.

At https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls, LinkedIn provides the possibility to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, and manage ad settings. LinkedIn also uses affiliates such as Eire, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame. The setting of such cookies may be disabled at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacy policy for LinkedIn is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. The LinkedIn Cookie Policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Xing

On this website, the controller may have integrated components of XING. XING is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to establish new ones. Individual users may create personal profiles on XING. Companies may, e.g., create company profiles or publish jobs.

The operating company of XING is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

When clicking on one of the individual pages of the controller’s website with a XING component (XING plug-in), the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download the corresponding display of the XING component. Further information about the XING plug-in may be accessed at https://dev.xing.com/plugins. Within the scope of this technical procedure, XING gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on XING at the same time, XING detects at every click on our website by the data subject – and for the entire duration of their stay – which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the XING component and associated with the respective XING account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on the XING button integrated on our Internet site, e.g. the “Share”-button, then XING assigns this information to the personal XING user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

The XING component sends information to XING that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in at XING while visiting our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the XING component or not. If the data subject does not approve of such a transmission of information to XING, then he or she can prevent this by logging off from their XING account before visiting our website.

The data protection provisions published by XING, which are available at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provide information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by XING. In addition, XING has published a privacy statement for the XING share button at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.

15. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6.1(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the execution of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6.1(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, including, but not limited to the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6.1 (c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor was injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or any other relevant third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6.1 (d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6.1 (f) of the GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the above mentioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which requires protection of his or her personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It is argued that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

16. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6.1 (f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business for the benefit of the company and stakeholders.

17. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, unless it is still required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

18. Provision of personal data as a statutory or contractual requirement; requirement to enter into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We herewith inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. by tax regulations) or by contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contracting party). The provision of personal data by the data subject and the processing of such data by the controller may be necessary in order to conclude a contract. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. Not providing the required personal data would lead to the contract not being concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst. We will inform the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or if it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what would be the consequences if the personal data was not submitted.

19. Existence of automated decision-making

cds claudia dalberg sprachendienst does not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
