III. General information on data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We only process the personal data of our users and customers to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users and customers takes place regularly only with the consent of the person concerned. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent.
In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
The legal basis for processing to fulfill a legal obligation of the controller is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. C GDPR.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In order to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, provided that the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject do not prevail.
3. Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply or the data subject requests a change/deletion of the data. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Special features and deviations from the storage period and data deletion are listed individually in the privacy policy.
4. SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator. 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.
IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:
(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The IP address of the user
(4) Date and time of access
(5) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
(6) Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This does not affect other data that allows the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The data listed cannot be assigned to specific persons by the website operator. This data is not merged with other data sources; the data is also deleted after the purpose has been achieved and/or after an anonymized statistical evaluation or after 60 days at the latest.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
V. Use of cookies
The Internet pages of Sandmeier Consulting GmbH use so-called cookies in several places. They are used to make the website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies used here are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. In addition, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change. The log-in information is stored and transmitted in the cookies. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user’s surfing behaviour and a chat function. The analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.
In this way, the frequency of page views and the use of website functions can be transmitted. The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the accessing user. The data is not stored together with other personal user data.
When accessing our website, users are informed about the use of cookies by an info banner and referred to this privacy policy. The user has the option of selecting whether and which non-essential cookies may be stored on their computer. If no selection is made, only essential cookies are stored. In addition, the user has the option of changing their selection later by accessing the cookie settings in the footer menu of our website, where the settings made by the user can be changed at any time. This gives the user the option to object to the setting of non-essential cookies.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
VI. Newsletter
You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. When you register for the newsletter, the data from the input screen is transmitted to us.
(1) Salutation
(2) First name and surname
(3) Company name
(4) E-mail address
In addition, the IP address of the accessing computer (without forwarding it to CleverReach) and the date and time of registration are collected during registration.
Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data during the registration process and reference is made to this privacy policy.
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to ensure that the newsletter is sent with your consent. This involves the potential recipient being added to a mailing list. The user then receives a confirmation e-mail to confirm the registration in a legally secure manner. The address is only actively added to the mailing list if confirmation is given. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and offers.
CleverReach is used as the newsletter software. Your data will be transmitted to CleverReach GmbH & Co KG. CleverReach is prohibited from selling your data and using it for purposes other than sending newsletters. CleverReach is a certified provider that has been selected in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act. Further information can be found here: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/ and https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datensicherheit/ You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
The user’s email address will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.
VII. Registration / Application
1. Description and scope of data processing, in particular but not limited to SLSM and contract service management
On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by entering personal data (user name). The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data is not passed on to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:
(1) Last name / first name
(2) Telephone / cell phone
(3) Company / address
(4) E-mail address
At the time of registration, the user’s IP address and the date and time of registration/login are also stored:

2. Possibility of objection and removal
As a user, you have the option of canceling your registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you amended at any time.
If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.
A change or deletion of your data can be initiated as follows:
(1) Termination of the contractual relationship
(2) Revocation of consent
(3) Request for deletion / change via e-mail datenschutz@sandmeier-consulting.de
Please note that all data will be deleted. In this respect, it is the customer’s responsibility to back up their data beforehand or to request the return of the data.
VIII. Contact form and e-mail contact

The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
The user has the option to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
Consent can be revoked by sending an informal e-mail to datenschutz@sandmeier-consulting.de.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

XII. Web analysis through Google Analytics
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Inc. on our website, which uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your PC and allow an analysis of your user behavior in relation to our website. The cookies generate information that is transmitted to a Google server. These servers are usually located in the USA, but follow agreements on the use of the European Economic Area and shorten your IP address before transmission to the United States and within the member states of the European Union. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be truncated after transmission to the USA. Google analyzes the transmitted information and provides further services for us website operators in this context.
Google Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. The IP address determined is not merged with other Google services. You can prevent the storage of cookies on your computer by changing your browser settings. However, this may result in display and functional restrictions when using our website. A browser plug-in also prevents the collection and use of data generated by cookies. You can download it at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout Learn more about Google’s privacy policy and Google Analytics at: www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “anonymizeIp” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
XIII. Google AdWords
We use Google AdWords, an online advertising program from Google Inc. on our website, which also uses conversion tracking. With this tool, Google AdWords places a cookie on your PC when you access our website via a Google advertisement. The cookie is no longer valid after 30 days. It is not used for personal traceability. If you visit our website as a user and the cookie is still working, we and Google will recognize that you clicked on the corresponding ad and were redirected to our site. A different cookie is assigned to each Google AdWords customer. Cookies are therefore not traceable via the websites of AdWords customers. The data collected by conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers. As customers, we learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then redirected to a website that was tagged with a conversion tracking tag. During this process, we do not receive any information with which we could personally identify you as a user. If you reject the tracking process, the Google conversion tracking cookie can be deactivated via your Internet browser. If necessary, use the browser’s help function for further information. You can find out more about Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
XIV. Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place. Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM. Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
XV. YouTube
We have integrated videos from YouTube on this website, which are stored on www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website.
YouTube is an online video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The videos are all embedded in “extended data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. A connection to a YouTube server is only established via the browser when you play the videos. This transmits device-specific information to YouTube, including your IP address and which of our websites you have visited. We have no influence on this data transfer. By clicking on the video, you consent to this transmission.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific page of our website you are visiting when you access a page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our website.
Further information on data protection in connection with YouTube can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
XVI. live chat Tawk.to
This website optionally offers the use of Tawk.to (a live chat software from tawk.to Inc., with a branch office at 187 East Warm Springs Rd, SB298, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89119).
The chat is integrated into the source code of the website via a script. As soon as you call up the chat, a connection is established to the servers of tawk.to Inc. Tawk.to stores your IP address and uses “cookies”, which are small text files that are placed and stored on your computer system to enable a personal conversation with you in the form of a real-time chat on the website.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; in this case, the live chat function and other functions of this online offer may no longer be fully available to you.
By using the chat, you automatically use the services of tawk.to. All data that you enter in the chat window will be transmitted to tawk.to and stored there. If you do not disclose any personal details (e.g. real name, e-mail address, telephone number, etc.) in the chat, no conclusions can be drawn about your person.
The data collected, processed and stored by tawk.to includes Chat history, date and time of the call, browser type/version, operating system used, IP address at the time of the chat, URL of the previously visited website and country of origin. This data is not passed on to third parties, is only used for protection and internal statistics and is deleted after 3 months. By using the chat, you consent to this use and storage of the data.

(2) the processing is conducted by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not affect the freedoms and rights of other persons.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right of objection
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller
(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies, and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision. 10.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
