This may include special categories of personal data (e.g. information on a severe disability) within the meaning of Art. 9 GDPR. Your data is encrypted during electronic transmission.
The data processing serves to initiate an employment relationship.

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by users is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we will endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities on our website and to provide us with further services associated with the use of our website. From the processed data, pseudonymous user profiles can be created.
We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled (‘anonymize_IP’). This means that Google will reduce the IP address of users within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB. You must perform this opt out on all systems that you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.
The data collected in your Google Account is collected solely on the basis of your consent, which you may give or revoke to Google (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). In case of data collection processes that are not consolidated in your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the consolidation), the data collection is based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. Deletion of user and event-level data associated with cookies, user IDs (e.g., User ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID, IDFA) will occur no later than 14 months after collection.

Our website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (see above).
This feature allows you to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you on one device (e.g. mobile phone) based on your previous usage and surfing behavior can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given permission, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be delivered on any device you sign in to with your Google Account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target audiences for cross-device advertising.
Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases in which this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we will endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
You can opt-out of cross-device remarketing/targeting permanently by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google Account (https://adssettings.google.com/anonymous).
The summary of the data collected in your Google Account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw to Google in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. For data collection operations that are not merged into your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Article 6, paragraph 1 sentence 1 lid. f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from our legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes. Further information via: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/
We use the component “Google Maps” from Google Inc. (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland). The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lid. f GDPR.
Each time you access the Google Maps component, Google will set a cookie to process user preferences and data when you view the page that includes the Google Maps component. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted by closing the browser, but expires after a certain period of time, unless you delete it manually beforehand. If you do not agree with this processing of your data, it is possible to deactivate the “Google Maps” service and in this way prevent the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you cannot use “Google Maps” or only to a limited extent.
The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained via “Google Maps” is subject to the Google Terms of Use (see above).
Plugins of the social network Facebook (1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) are integrated on our page. The legal basis for this type of processing is our legitimate interest withing the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lid. f) GDPR. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When you visit our page, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the server of Facebook. Facebook receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like button” while logged in to your Facebook account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit of our page with your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of these pages, do not receive any knowledge of the content of the transmitted data and their use by Facebook. For more information, please have a look at the privacy statement of Facebook at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php. If you do not want Facebook to associate visiting our pages with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account.
Our website includes functions of the services of LinkedIn. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation (2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). On our site we provide information and offer LinkedIn users the possibility of communication. The company presence is used for applications, information/PR and active sourcing. The legal basis for this type of processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.
If you click the LinkedIn “Share-Button” (Plug-In), you will be redirected to your user account in a separate browser window – provided you are logged into your user account at LinkedIn – and can share the electronic publication stored on our website by adding a comment. The plug-in establishes a direct connection between your browser and the LinkedIn server. LinkedIn receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. LinkedIn will also be able to associate your visit to our website with you and your user account. We point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted (personal) data and their use by LinkedIn.

If the plug-in is stored on one of the pages you visit on our website, your Internet browser will download a representation of the plug-in from the Twitter servers in the USA. For technical reasons it is necessary for Twitter to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.
If you are logged in to Twitter while visiting our website, the information collected by the plug-in from your specific visit will be recognized by Twitter. Twitter may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you use the “Share” button of Twitter, for example, this information will be stored in your Twitter account and published on the Twitter platform if necessary. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Twitter before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your Twitter user account.
We would like to point out that we are not aware of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Twitter. For more information, please see Twitter’s privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy. You can change your Twitter privacy settings in your account settings at http://twitter.com/account/settings.
We have included YouTube videos in our website. YouTube is an offer of YouTube LLC (901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA). YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC. The legal basis for this type of processing is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.
YouTube videos are embedded in our portal exclusively on the basis of YouTube’s “Extended Data Protection Mode”. According to YouTube, the “Extended Data Protection Mode” function means that the data specified below will only be transmitted to the YouTube server if you actually start a video.
Without this “Extended Data Protection Mode”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA will be established as soon as you access one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded. This connection is required in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time as well as the website you visited. In addition, a connection to the Google advertising network “DoubleClick” is established.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality and analysis of usage behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies via your Internet browser on your terminal. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by setting it in your Internet browser.
For more information, please visit https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=en in the “Turn on privacy-enhanced mode ” section.

We use this integrated software solution for our own marketing and customer service purposes. This includes e-mail marketing, social media publishing and reporting, contact management such as user segmentation and CRM, landing pages and contact forms.
HubSpot uses cookies. The information collected (e.g. IP address, geographic location, browser type, length of visit and pages viewed) are analyzed by HubSpot on our behalf so that we can generate reports about the visit and the pages visited. Information collected by HubSpot and the content of our website is stored on servers of HubSpot’s service providers. If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR, the processing on this website is for the purpose of website analysis.
Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. GDPR. These obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

VMRay uses Nextcloud on a local VMRay server as way to confidentially share with specific individual persons (senders or recipients) certain information relating to the use of VMRay software and/or the provision of VMRay cloud service. For users with a temporary account the retention period for the data is 3 days, for users with a regular account 30 days.
Please be aware that Nextcloud is not an archive for the submitted information. As soon as VMRay decides that any information is no longer needed for the aforementioned purpose, VMRay has the right to delete such information. It is therefore always the senders responsibility to ensure that he/she will also have the sent information stored elsewhere, if it is still needed in the future. VMRay will comply with all aspects of data protection and security, but does not assume any obligation whatsoever to “return” information.
VMRay sends it newsletter for the purpose of advertising its product and informing about our company. For the registration to our newsletter we use the double opt-in procedure. You may subscribe and consent to the receipt of our newsletter by providing us with your email address via our contact form, explicitly ticking the opt-in box underneath and by clicking the link in the confirmation mail. By clicking on the corresponding link, we process the public IP address of the computer from which the link is accessed, together with the date and time of the click. We process this data to be able to provide proof that you have confirmed receipt of our email newsletter. You may cancel the subscription by using the unsubscribe option provided in the newsletter. The data which we require as proof that you have agreed to receive the newsletter will be deleted after expiration of any legal obligation to provide this evidence. The legal basis for this type of processing is your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lid. a) GDPR.
Our e-mail newsletter is sent via the technical service provider HubSpot Ireland Limited (see above) to whom we pass on the information you provide when you register for the newsletter. This disclosure is made in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. HubSpot uses this information for the dispatch and statistical analysis of the newsletter on our behalf.
For evaluation purposes, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on, if applicable. Conversion tracking can also be used to analyse whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) was carried out after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data. These data are used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical purposes, you must cancel the newsletter subscription.
Since personal data may be transferred to the USA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases in which this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we will endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
We conduct regular seminar via the Internet (webinar). For this purpose we use the GoToWebinar software solution from LogMeIn, Inc (320 Summer Street Boston, MA 02210, USA).
We have a contract for contract processing with LogMeIn that requires them to protect our customers’ information. Since personal data may be transferred to the USA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These obligate the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases in which this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we will endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.

Such measures shall in particular include ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, transmission, security of availability and its separation.
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties, except
• if we have explicitly pointed this out in the description of the respective data processing,
• if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR
• the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lid. f) GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in not disclosing your data,
• in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR
• insofar as this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR
In addition, we use external service providers for our services, which we have carefully selected and commissioned in writing. If necessary, we have concluded Data Processing Agreements in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), this only takes place if it is necessary for the fulfilment of our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests.
Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process the data in a third country only under the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. This means, for example, processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as officially recognized contractual obligations (“EU Standard Contractual Clauses”).
The provision of personal data for the decision to conclude a contract, for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures is voluntary. However, we can only make the decision within the framework of contractual measures if you provide such personal data as are necessary for the conclusion of the contract, the fulfilment of the contract or pre-contractual measures.
No automated decision making or profiling pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR takes place.
The continuous development of the Internet makes it necessary for us to adjust our data protection rules from time to time. We reserve the right to implement appropriate changes at any time.
If you wish to exercise your data protection rights or if you have any comments, suggestions, questions or complaints, please do not hesitate to send an e-mail to dataprotection@vmray.com.
