b. LinkedIn company page
LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Ireland/EU – “LinkedIn”) is the sole responsible party for the processing of personal data when you visit our LinkedIn page.

When you visit, follow, or engage with our LinkedIn company page, LinkedIn processes personal data to provide us with anonymized statistics and insights. This provides us with insights into the types of actions that people take on our site (so-called page insights). For this purpose, LinkedIn processes in particular such data that you have already provided to LinkedIn via the information in your profile, such as data on function, country, industry, seniority, company size and employment status.

a) Weitergabe von Daten an Dritte
Except in the mentioned cases of processing on behalf, we will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
The data passed on may be used by the third party exclusively for the purposes stated.
b) Transfer to third countries
A transfer of personal data to a third country or an international organization, only takes place if we inform you about it and the prerequisite of Artt. 44 ff. GDPR are given.
A third country is defined as a state outside the European Economic Area (EEA) in which the GDPR is not directly applicable. A third country is considered unsafe if the
EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for this state pursuant to Article 45 (1) of the GDPR confirming that adequate protection for personal data exists in the country.
The USA is a so-called unsafe third country. This means that the USA does not offer a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. The following risks exist when personal data is transferred to the USA. There is a risk that U.S. authorities may gain access to personal data on the basis of the PRISM and UPSTREAM surveillance programs based on Section 702 of FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act), as well as on the basis of Executive Order 12333 or Presidential Police Directive 28. EU citizens have no effective legal protection against these accesses in the USA or the EU.
We inform you in this privacy information when and how we transfer personal data to the USA or other unsecure third countries. We transfer your personal data only if
Guarantees according to Art. 46 GDPR can be so-called standard contractual clauses. In these standard contractual clauses, the recipient assures to protect the data sufficiently and thus to ensure a level of protection comparable to the GDPR.
We use so-called cookies on our website to make our website technically available and to statistically record and evaluate the use of our website for the purpose of optimization (see under item 5). We base the processing of your data by the cookies and pixels used on the aforementioned technically necessary purposes in accordance with
Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR on our legitimate interest, which is to be regarded as legitimate in the sense of the aforementioned provision.
In addition, we use cookies and process the data through the cookies used only on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. You can access the consent management tool “Cookie Policy” at any time via the link at the end of the website.
COOKIES

Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. In the cookie, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. This does not mean, however, that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been to our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. Cookies are also used to make our website technically available.
Our website uses “etracker” for the statistical evaluation of visitor accesses and for the analysis of usage data, a service of the
etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany (https://etracker.com). We do not use cookies for web analysis. Insofar as we use analysis and optimization cookies, we will obtain separate consent from you in advance. If this is the case and you further consent, cookies will be set that enable statistical coverage analysis of this website, measurement of the success of our online marketing measures, and test procedures, for example, to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.
The data generated by “etracker” is processed and stored by “etracker” on behalf of the provider of this website exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards; “etracker” has been independently audited, certified and awarded the ePrivacyseal data protection seal of approval.
The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR and is thus done to protect our legitimate interests. Our concern in terms of the GDPR regarding legitimate interests is the optimization of our online offer as well as our web presence. Since we attach great importance to the privacy of our visitors, the data that possibly allow a personal reference, such as, among other things, the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymized or pseudonymized as quickly as possible. The data will not be used for any other purpose, merged with other data or passed on to third parties.
You can exercise your right to object to this data processing at any time. An objection on your part has no negative consequences or consequences for you.
Further information regarding the data protection of “etracker” can be found here.

Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. By loading the videos on our website, data is forwarded to Google. In particular, your visits to our website and your device-specific information, including your IP address, are transmitted to Google.
Here, we use the “extended data protection mode” option provided by YouTube. If you call up a page that has an embedded video, this only establishes a connection to the YouTube servers and thereby displays the content on the website by notifying your browser when you actually watch the video.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, this information is assigned to your
YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website. Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of processing.

Furthermore, in this case, you also consent to the transfer of your data to the USA in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a DSGVO, knowing the risks described in section 3b.
You can revoke your consent for the future at any time via the consent management tool.
You have the right:
in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR to revoke your consent once given to us at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future;

INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT PURSUANT TO ART. 21 DSGVO
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you that is carried out on the basis of
Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision of
Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
As soon as you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
If your objection is directed against processing of data for the purpose of direct marketing, we will immediately stop the processing. In this case, the specification of a special circumstance is not required. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising.
If you wish to exercise your right to object, it is sufficient to send an
e-mail to datenschutz@powerdata.de.
All data transmitted by you personally is encrypted using the generally accepted and secure standard TLS (Transport Layer Security). TLS is a secure and proven standard that is also used, for example, in online banking. You can recognize a secure
TLS connection by the appended “s” to the http (i.e. https://…) in the address bar of your browser or by the lock symbol in the lower area of your browser.
We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
This privacy policy is currently valid and has the status January 2023.
