II. General information on data processing
1. General information
The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our data protection declaration listed below this text.
2. Data collection on our website
How do we collect your data?
On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may be data that you enter in a contact form, for example. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.
Analysis tools and tools from third-party providers
When you visit our website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is primarily done using so-called analysis programmes (see point VI).
Enquiry via contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us for 1 year after the last contact if there is no customer relationship and will then be automatically deleted. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Enquiry by email or telephone
If you contact us by email or telephone, we will store and process your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
3. Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
4. Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
5. Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
7. Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
III. Provision of the website and creation of log files
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website. The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Our hoster will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data.
We use the following hoster: Host Europe GmbH, Hansestr. 111, 51149 Cologne, Germany
Conclusion of an order processing contract:
In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our hoster.
Host Europe automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server enquiry
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
IV. Rights of the data subject
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
The responsible body is:

Fax: 0211/38424-10
E-mail: poststelle[at]ldi.nrw.de
V. Data Security
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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.
VI. Use of cookies, tools and plugins
1. Cookies
Our website uses Cookiebot’s cookie consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your end device and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as “Cookiebot”).
When you enter our website, a connection is established to Cookiebot’s servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.
Contract on order processing:
We have concluded an order processing contract with Cookiebot. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that Cookiebot processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
2. Google Analytics 4 analysis tool
If you have given your consent, Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, is used on this website. The controller for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’).
Type and purpose of processing:
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable your use of our website to be analysed. The information collected by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use Google Signals. This enables Google Analytics to collect additional information about users who have activated personalised ads (interests and demographic data).
In Google Analytics 4, the anonymisation of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymisation, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states 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 truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
During your visit to the website, your user behaviour is recorded in the form of ‘events’. Events can be
– Page views
– First visit to the website
– Start of the session
– Visited web pages
– Your ‘click path’, interaction with the website
– Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the end of the page (90%))
– Clicks on external links
– Internal search queries
– Interaction with videos
– file downloads
– Ads viewed / clicked on
– language setting
Also recorded:
– Your approximate location (region)
– Date and time of your visit
– Your IP address (in truncated form)
– Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
– Your internet provider
– the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)
Purposes of the processing:
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyse the performance of our website.
Recipients:
Recipients of the data are/may be
– Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR)
– Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
– Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
Third country transfer:
The European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the USA on 10 July 2023. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Privacy Framework. Since Google servers are distributed worldwide and a transfer to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out, we have also concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider.
Storage duration:
The data sent by us and linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.
Legal basis:
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 sentence 1 TTDSG.
Revocation:
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings (click on the black ‘paper clip’ button) and changing your selection there. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may restrict the functionality of this and other websites. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by
a. Not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or
b. downloading and installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
You can find more information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and on data protection at Google at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.
Contract on order processing:
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics
3. Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager from Google. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google also processes your personal data in the USA. Before giving your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we would like to point out in particular that there may not be an adequate level of data protection in the USA without an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees, as data protection laws do not comply with the requirements of the GDPR and, in particular, data subjects’ rights may not be enforceable.
The above will only take place if you give us your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (‘consent’). This consent is voluntary. You can refuse it without giving reasons, without having to fear any disadvantages as a result. You can also revoke this consent at any time with future effect (click on the black ‘paper clip’ button) without any disadvantages for you.
4. Google Maps
This site uses the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here:
https://business.safety.google/controllerterms/ and https://business.safety.google/controllerterms/sccs/
You can find more information on the handling of user data in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
5. Plugin Sendgrid
On this website, the controller has integrated a service for sending e-mails from Sendgrid. Sendgrid is a commercial service provider for sending e-mails. PMPG uses this service on its website to send notifications to its users.
The operating company of Sendgrid is Sendgrid, Inc, 41 Corsham St Hoxton, London, N1 6DR, United Kingdom (UK).
The dispatch service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and an order processing contract pursuant to Art. 28 para. 3 sentence 1 GDPR.
The mailing service provider may use the recipients’ data in pseudonymous form, i.e. without assigning it to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the sending and presentation of emails or for statistical purposes. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.
You can view the data protection provisions of the mailing service provider here: Services Privacy Policy (SendGriD): https://www.twilio.com/en-us/legal/tos
6. Plugin „Shariff Wrapper“
On our website we offer you the option of using so-called “social media buttons” (share buttons) for the following services: Facebook, LinkedIn and XING.
To protect your data, we rely on the “Shariff” solution during implementation. As a result, these buttons are only integrated on our site as a static graphic that contains a link to the provider’s corresponding website. By clicking on the graphic you will be redirected to the respective provider’s website, just like normal links work. Only when you visit the provider’s website do they receive information about you, such as your IP address. Unless you click on the button graphics, no data exchange will take place. Information about the collection and use of your data on social networks can be found in the respective network terms of use of the relevant providers. Further information about the plugin and the Shariff solution can be found here: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/shariff/
Further information on how your personal data is handled on the respective social media platforms can be found at: 5. Data protection declaration for the social media offering.
7. Rapidmail newsletter tool
Description and purpose: We use rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg, Germany. With rapidmail, among other things: Organizes and analyzes the sending of newsletters.
The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (title, first name, last name, email address) is stored on rapidmail’s servers in Germany. If you do not want analysis by rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. For the purpose of analysis, emails sent with rapidmail contain a so-called tracking pixel, which connects to rapidmail’s servers when the email is opened. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. We can also use rapidmail to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked on. Optionally, links in the email can be set as tracking links with which your clicks can be counted.
Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) GDPR. Recipient: The recipient of the data is rapidmail GmbH. Transfer to third countries: Data will not be transferred to third countries. Duration: The data you have stored with us as part of your consent for the purpose of the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and rapidmail’s servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter.
Option to revoke: You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
Further data protection information: For more information, please see rapidmail’s data security information at:

If you require information about Microsoft’s processing of your personal data, we ask you to view the relevant statement at Microsoft. You can find more information from Microsoft on this topic here:
Microsoft Privacy Policy – Microsoft Privacy Policy

No device identifiers or other location data are collected.
IV. The purposes of the processing and the relevant legal bases
We use the above-mentioned and anonymized data to monitor the quality of the service and to identify possible sources of errors during operation. Content data such as chat logs and files cannot be viewed for monitoring purposes. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR.

Because the data processing you carry out using Teams is necessary for the purposes of carrying out your employment relationship or fulfilling the obligations you owe under the employment contract due to the necessities/circumstances that PMPG is faced with described above.
If you take part in an online meeting as an external participant, your data will be processed regularly on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. However, this only to the extent that your participation in the online meeting took place to fulfill or implement a contract concluded with you or with the company that employs you. The same applies to cases in which a contract was initiated and this took place on your initiative.
If data processing in connection with the use of Teams is not necessary for the purposes of the employment relationship or to fulfill a contract concluded with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures, it is carried out on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR . Our legitimate interest lies in maintaining location-independent communication, maintaining business contacts and providing services owed.
Further processing purposes:
Your personal data may be processed by PMPG based on other legal obligations, such as a court order. Legal basis based on legal requirements (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c) GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e) GDPR).

You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons relating to your particular situation. You can object to the use of your personal data for direct advertising at any time without giving reasons.
According to Microsoft’s information, as part of “business activities,” Microsoft processes data for the following activities related to providing the products and services to Customer: (1) billing and account management; (2) Compensation (e.g. calculation of employee commissions and partner incentives); (3) internal reporting and business modeling (e.g. forecasting, sales, capacity planning, product strategy); (4) combat fraud, cybercrime, or cyberattacks that may affect Microsoft or Microsoft products; (5) improving core functionality related to accessibility, data protection or energy efficiency; and (6) financial reporting and compliance with legal obligations (subject to the restrictions on disclosure of processed data described below).

Microsoft considers itself solely responsible for this data processing for compliance with all applicable laws and the fulfillment of its obligations.
V. Duration of storage
If your personal data is no longer required for the purposes mentioned above, it will be deleted regularly.
Anonymized log data is stored for access by PMPG for up to 30 days. Access is only carried out to identify system errors, troubleshoot errors, clarify security questions and check for manipulation or other misuse. It is only accessible to administrators of the M365 platform.
Chat messages sent within a Teams video conference can also be viewed by those involved after 30 days. After 30 days, the external participant will be displayed in the chat as “Unknown User” and the chat content will be deleted. This means that it can no longer be traced who wrote the chat and what the chat contained.

For more information about Microsoft’s processing of personal data and encryption, see the Microsoft Teams Security Guide – Overview – Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs:
https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/microsoftteams/teams-security-guide
VII. Third country
A transfer of personal data to service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA) takes place in compliance with the regulations of Chapter V of the GDPR on the transfer of personal data to third countries.
In principle, data processing outside the European Union (EU) does not take place, as we have limited our storage location to data centers in the European Union. However, we cannot rule out that data is routed via internet servers located outside the EU. This can be the case in particular if participants in an “online meeting” are in a third country. Access to data from third countries cannot be ruled out in individual cases in support and maintenance cases or when processing by Microsoft for business purposes.
However, the data is encrypted during transport over the Internet and is therefore protected from unauthorized access by third parties.

YouTube/Google saves the data mentioned as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in or for users without a corresponding account) to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.
