The embedded links or graphics with the logo of the providers only contain an HTTP link to our pages at the respective provider. When our website is called up, no direct connection is established with the servers of the providers and thus no personal data is transferred from us to the operators of the services.
The respective data protection provisions of the providers apply to the use of the services.

When you visit one of our websites equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
If a YouTube video is started, the provider sets cookies that collect information about user behavior. If the storage of cookies is deactivated for the Google ad program, no such videos are set. For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to the Goggle/YouTube Privacy Policy.
Use of analysis tools
Web analysis tools allow website operators to analyze and monitor visitors. Movements on the website are recorded and evaluated by the providers.
The processing of personal data of website users enables us to analyze their surfing behavior. By evaluating the data, we can compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These text files are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of the use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on our website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
The collection by Google only takes place if you actively agree to this by clicking on “Accept all cookies” in our Cookie Consent Tool and thus give your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR to the setting of cookies and the processing of the data. At the same time, you consent according to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR that your data is processed in the USA.
Objection to data collection

Use of online marketing
Usage-based online advertising, also called interest-based advertising or online behavioral advertising (OBA), is a way to display ads on websites you visit, making them more relevant to you and your interests. Common interests are grouped into segments based on previous web browsing activity. Internet users are then shown ads that match their common interests. In this way, advertising can be made as appropriate and useful as possible. Matching advertising can also be based on the content of the websites you have previously viewed.
Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Pardot MAS
This website uses the Pardot Marketing Automation System (“Pardot MAS”), a special software from salesforce.com Inc. Pardot MAS is a CRM software system that provides solutions for sales, customer service and marketing.
We use Pardot to analyze the use of our website and thereby regularly improve it.
When you visit our website, Pardot MAS records your click path and uses it to create an individual usage profile using a pseudonym. For this purpose, cookies are used that allow recognition of your browser. For the use of these cookies, your consent is obtained in advance.
Legal basis of data processing
The legal basis for the use of Pardot as an analysis tool and the associated data processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Right of withdrawal
You can revoke your consent at any time via the settings in the cookie consent banner.
You can generally deactivate the creation of pseudonymized usage profiles by configuring your Internet browser so that cookies from the domain “pardot.com” are not accepted. However, this may lead to certain restrictions in the functions and user-friendliness of our offer.
Storage duration
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our purposes. This is the case after 3 months.
Merging your personal data with the data of a usage profile
To provide you with the most interesting offer or product information possible, and if you actively consent to this, it is possible to merge your personal data with the data of a pseudonymized user profile via the cookies set. This occurs, for example, when you – by ordering a newsletter or filling out a form – provide personal data. You can object to this use of your personal data, such as name and address information at any time in writing or by e-mail to datenschutz@hyve.net.
Notice regarding data processing in the USA:

Use of other applications
We have integrated the following additional applications, which may collect and transmit personal data, into our website.
Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. This is also our legitimate interest for data processing according to Art.6(1)(f) GDPR.
Calling up script libraries or font libraries normally triggers a connection to the operator of the library. As far as can be seen, at least the IP address is transmitted.

Google Maps
On our website we use Google Maps to display our locations.
Google Maps is a mapping service provided by Goggle Inc. and offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
If you consent to the use of Google Maps in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, a cookie will be set in your browser.
If you call up the integrated Google Maps component in our Contact menu item, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Google servers. The map content is transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. Therefore, we have no influence on the scope of the data collected by Google in this way. According to our knowledge, this is at least the following data:
- Date and time of the visit to the web page in question,
- URL of the website called up,
- IP address, (start) address entered as part of route planning
We have no influence on the further processing and use of the data by Google and can therefore assume no responsibility for this.
If you do not want Google to collect data about you via our website, please refrain from calling up the integrated Google Maps component at our menu item Contact or deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy.
