Status: 01.04.2026

We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the DOYMA GmbH & Co. The use of the Internet pages of the DOYMA GmbH & Co is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. However, if a person concerned wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the DOYMA GmbH & Co.

Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, the DOYMA GmbH & Co has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

4. Cookies and the use of the cookie consent management tool "CCM19"

a.) General information

The Internet pages of DOYMA GmbH & Co use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the DOYMA GmbH & Co can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping basket in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

b.) Use of the cookie consent management tool "CCM19"

Our website uses the cookie consent management tool "CCM19" to obtain your consent for cookies and cookie-based applications requiring consent that have been integrated on the DOYMA website and to document these in compliance with data protection regulations.

It is a cookie consent tool from the provider Papoo Software & Media GmbH - Dr. Carsten Euwens. Bornschein, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn (hereinafter referred to as CCM19), which is used as a cloud version. This creates a connection to the CMM 19 server as soon as you as a user access the DOYMA website.

By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, a banner is displayed that you can use to give your consent for certain cookies and cookie-based applications. The cookie stores information in so-called server log files, which the browser automatically transmits.

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

As long as you do not give your consent, the aforementioned cookie consent tool blocks the setting of cookies requiring consent.

The controller has concluded an order processing contract (AAV) for the use of the above-mentioned service (CCM19). This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The data collected will be stored until you ask us to delete it or delete the CCM19 cookie yourself or until the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

CCM19 cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

Further information on the use of data by CCM19 can be found at https://www.ccm19.de/datenschutzerklaerung.html.

5. Data protection provisions about the use of the chat software of the company Userlike

a) Use of the Userlike chat software for live chat

On our website we use the live chat of Userlike UG, Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne (hereinafter "Userlike").

Userlike uses cookies to enable you to have a personal conversation with us in the form of a real-time chat. Live chat visitors do not have to register to use the function, but can have an anonymous chat.

You can use the chat like a contact form to chat with our employees almost in real time. The following personal data is collected when the chat is started:

Date and time of the call,
Browser type/version,
IP address,
operating system used,
URL of the previously visited website,
Amount of data sent.
And if specified: First name, surname and e-mail address.

Depending on the course of the conversation with our employees, further personal data may be collected in the chat and entered by you. The nature of this data depends largely on your request or the problem you describe to us. The purpose of processing all this data is to provide you with a quick and efficient means of contact and thus improve our customer service.

If the chat is not personally manned by DOYMA colleagues, the Userlike AI chatbot will answer your request. Artificial intelligence can be used for this. The Userlike AI chatbot is a self-learning solution that has been specially developed for customer support and sales. The Userlike AI chatbot uses artificial intelligence to evaluate the messages you write and sends back suitable, predefined answers.

We use the so-called data protection mode when using Userlike. This means that your IP address is stored in anonymized form in the cookies and is not used to identify you personally. If you disclose personal data about yourself during the anonymous chat, this is done voluntarily.

The data collected by Userlike is processed on our behalf and on the basis of an order processing contract.

The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the economic operation, functionality and optimization of our website in the form of a cross-website functioning of the chat function.

All our employees have been and will be trained on the subject of data protection and instructed on the secure and confidential handling of customer data. All of our employees are obliged to maintain confidentiality and have signed an addendum in their employee contracts to the obligation to maintain confidentiality and to observe data protection.

By accessing the DOYMA GmbH & Co website, the chat widget is loaded in the form of a JavaScript file from AWS Cloudfront. The chat widget technically represents the source code that is executed on your computer and enables the chat.

DOYMA GmbH & Co also saves the chat history. This serves the purpose of sparing you extensive explanations of the history of your request and for the constant quality control of our chat offer. Processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you do not wish this, you are welcome to inform us using the contact details below. We will then delete saved chats immediately.

The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. You can find further information in the Userlike UG (haftungsbeschränkt) privacy policy.

b) Use of the Userlike chat software in conjunction with the WhatsApp channel, which is operated via the WhatsApp Cloud API, hosted by Meta, by our partner 360dialog with the WhatsApp Business platform.

We use the Userlike chat software on our website and also connect our WhatsApp channel to it. on the one hand, we use the WhatsApp channel as a customer channel so that we can be reached more quickly and directly by our customers. On the other hand, we use the WhatsApp channel as a campaign channel to provide up-to-date information about the company and our products in the form of WhatsApp campaigns (newsletters). The WhatsApp newsletter is only sent via the WhatsApp campaign channel after consent has been given and additional confirmation of registration for the WhatsApp campaign channel (double opt-in) and can be revoked at any time in the campaign channel.

Since April 12, 2024, newly created WhatsApp channels connect to the WhatsApp Business platform via the WhatsApp Cloud API, hosted by Meta, through our partner 360dialog. In the course of 2024, existing connections will also be migrated to the Cloud API. 360dialog will remain the partner for Userlike to manage the connections, but the data will be processed and stored on Meta servers. You can find 360dialog's current privacy policy here:https://docs.360dialog.com/docs/useful/imprint-and-dataprivacy

With the on-premise API, the Userlike partner 360dialog hosts a separate WhatsApp on-premise container that provides the API for each WhatsApp number. With the Cloud API, this complexity is removed and Meta provides the API directly. Switching to the Cloud API brings several benefits, such as higher performance, increased reliability and faster availability of the latest features and fixes. Here you can find more information provided by Meta: https: //developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-vs-onprem

the data storage of the on-premise solution was hosted by the Userlike partner 360dialog on their servers (AWS, configured for EU region). With the cloud solution, the data is stored directly by Meta on cloud servers. Each customer must enter into a direct contractual relationship with Meta. This will be ensured during the sign-up flow for new numbers. For existing customers, the change was initiated on August 26, 2024.

Userlike has configured the Meta cloud servers to be located in the EU (Germany) when you verify your number for the WhatsApp Business API with our service. In addition, Meta Inc. is verified for the EU-US adequacy decision and the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so you have an adequate legal basis for possible third country transfers. You can find more information about Meta's data protection approach for the Cloud API here: https: //developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/overview/data-privacy-and-security/

Meta's terms and conditions regarding the Cloud API can be found here: https: //www.facebook.com/legal/Meta-Hosting-Terms-Cloud-API

6. Collection of general data and information

The website of DOYMA GmbH & Co collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website can be recorded, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the DOYMA GmbH & Co does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the DOYMA GmbH & Co analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

7. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the controller's website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the data controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for the controller's own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of criminal offenses committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or it serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.

The controller shall provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about which personal data relating to the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this privacy policy and the entirety of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

8. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of the DOYMA GmbH & Co, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.

The DOYMA GmbH & Co informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. Our company's newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller's website or to inform the controller of this in another way.

9. Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of DOYMA GmbH & Co contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the DOYMA GmbH & Co may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the data controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. The DOYMA GmbH & Co automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

10. Contact possibility via the website

The website of the DOYMA GmbH & Co contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

11. Customer order processing

DOYMA GmbH & Co processes necessary customer data as part of order processing. the customer data includes contact data such as the full name/company name, the address/delivery address, telecommunications data such as (phone, fax, e-mail), data for billing orders with bank details, payment methods, contract data, order data; if applicable, data on creditworthiness and solvency. This data is processed exclusively for the execution and invoicing of orders placed by customers.

As part of order processing, the necessary contact details are provided to affiliated companies or third parties (such as freight forwarders) in the interests of the customer.

The data is stored for the fulfillment of the purpose and in accordance with the legal obligations for the documentation of orders or annual financial statements. They are deleted when the obligation to retain them ceases to apply and the contractual relationship ends.

If a data subject contacts the person responsible for customer order processing by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the person responsible for customer order processing is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

If a data subject contacts the person responsible for customer order processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the person responsible for customer order processing is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

Legal basis for the processing of customer data

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of orders and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the provision of information to customers. If a newsletter/advertising is provided by e-mail, telephone, letter or fax, this is done on the basis of consent granted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 UWG. As part of a balancing of interests, DOYMA GmbH & Co. has a legitimate interest in communicating its offered products and services to existing customers or to interested parties who have actively expressed an interest in the offered products (by inquiry).

12. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, if the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the DOYMA GmbH & Co shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may at any time directly contact our Data Protection Officer of the controller or another employee of the controller.

14. Data protection provisions about the use of Friendly Captcha in forms
The controller uses the service of the German company Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Woerthsee ("Friendly Captcha") on the website.
Friendly Captcha is used to distinguish whether a person is trying to use a function in a contact request or a form or whether machine and automated processing is taking place. This is done to protect against spam and misuse. In order to prevent fraudulent activities, the service is typically used in DOYMA forms such as inquiries, contact requests, seminar registrations, newsletter registrations, etc. The purpose is primarily to ensure the security and functionality of the DOYMA website.
For this purpose, the Friendly Captcha integrated into our website uses a so-called crypto puzzle, the solution of which is compared with a value calculated on the website visitor's end device.
Friendly Captcha processes the hash value (one-way encryption) of the incoming IP address of the respective end device to play the crypto puzzles, so that personal identification is excluded. In addition, the connection data, environment data, interaction data and functional data are transmitted to Friendly Captcha via the website visitor's browser.
Friendly Captcha does not store any personal data of the website visitor that could identify the visitor. Friendly Captcha does not use HTTP cookies and does not store any data in the browser. Further information on Friendly Captcha can be found at the following link: https://friendlycaptcha.com/de/legal/privacy-end-users/
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) and Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG.

18. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook/Instagram

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject-and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site-which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The controller uses the "Lead Ads" function of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook") to collect and process certain personal data of interested parties via a contact form (so-called "instant form") displayed on the Facebook websites. The content and scope of the data requested in this form depends on the focus of the respective lead campaign.

The processing of the data is strictly bound to the purposes pursued with the respective lead ad campaign. These purposes are clearly stated in the lead ad or on the form provided before the specified data is transmitted.

As part of the aforementioned services, data transmitted via instant forms may be stored on servers of Meta Platforms, Inc, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

For more information on data processing via Facebook Lead Ads, please refer to Facebook's data policy at Meta Privacy Policy - How Meta collects and uses user data | Privacy Center | Manage your privacy on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger | Facebook Privacy

19. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Getty Images images and other stock photo agencies

The data controller has integrated components of Getty Images on this website. Getty Images is an American photo agency. An image agency is a company that offers images and other image material on the market. As a rule, picture agencies market photographs, illustrations and film material. Various customers, in particular website operators, editorial offices of print and TV media and advertising agencies, license the images they use via a picture agency.

The operating company of the Getty Images components is Getty Images International, 1st Floor, The Herbert Building, The Park, Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland.

Getty Images permits the (possibly free) embedding of stock images. Embedding is the inclusion or integration of specific third-party content, for example text, video or image data, which is provided by a third-party website and then appears on your own website. An embed code is used for embedding. An embed code is an HTML code that is integrated into a website by a website operator. If an embed code has been integrated by a website operator, the external content of the other website is displayed immediately by default as soon as a website is visited. To display the external content, the external content is loaded directly from the other website. Getty Images provides further information about embedding content under the link www.gettyimages.de/resources/embed.

The IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject to access our website is transmitted to Getty Images via the technical implementation of the embedding code, which enables the images from Getty Images to be displayed. Getty Images also records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Getty Images may collect navigation information, i.e. information about which of our subpages the data subject visited and which links were clicked on, as well as other interactions that the data subject carried out when visiting our website. This data may be stored and analyzed by Getty Images. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Getty Images may be retrieved under www.gettyimages.de/enterprise/privacy-policy. In addition, we use images from shutterstock_1115081195.jpg/shutterstock_1488283343 shutterstock_1300556659, shutterstock_566194201, shutterstock_566194201, shutterstock_1894477726 shutterstock_1807325047 shutterstock_1668008443, shutterstock_1377839093, shutterstock_1155779743.jpg, shutterstock_354850829.jpg, shutterstock_1854123703.jpg, shutterstock_1698069556.

20. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymize the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

In addition, the controller has concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics and other Google products. Through this contract, Google ensures that it processes the data collected in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and guarantees the protection of the rights of the data subject.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.htmlabgerufen. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

21. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google AdWords

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, which are used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject's IT system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online store system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has reached our website via an AdWords ad has generated sales, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

22. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Microsoft Advertising

The controller has integrated Microsoft Advertising on this website. Microsoft Advertising is a service for Internet advertising that allows advertisers to place ads both in Microsoft search engine results and in the Microsoft advertising network. Microsoft Advertising allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that will be used to display an ad in Microsoft's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Microsoft advertising network, the ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Microsoft Advertising services is Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Buniness Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, D18 P521.

The purpose of Microsoft Advertising is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Microsoft Advertising search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.

For this purpose, a so-called Universal Event Tracking (UET) is used within the Microsoft Advertising service, which collects and stores data for marketing and optimization purposes. If a data subject accesses our website via a Microsoft Advertising ad, Microsoft Advertising places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, it is used to track whether certain subpages on our website have been accessed. The cookie enables both us and Microsoft Advertising to track whether a data subject who has reached our website via a Microsoft Advertising ad has generated a conversion.

The data and information collected through the use of the cookie is used by Microsoft Advertising to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Microsoft Advertising ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Microsoft Advertising ads and to optimize our Microsoft Advertising ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Microsoft Advertising advertisers receive information from Microsoft Advertising that could be used to identify the data subject.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Microsoft Advertising in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Microsoft Advertising in the United States of America. Microsoft Advertising may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Microsoft Advertising from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Microsoft Advertising can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Microsoft Advertising. To do this, the data subject must call up the link https://choice.microsoft.com/de-DE/opt-out from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Microsoft Advertisng may be retrieved under Privacy Policy of Microsoft - Microsoft Privacy Policy.

23. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Matomo
The controller uses the Matomo analysis tool on the website, an open source software from the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.
By using Matomo, DOYMA is able to examine visitor behavior and improve the quality of the website and its content. We also learn how the website is used by our visitors and can thus constantly improve our website offering. Matomo enables DOYMA to analyze the website in compliance with GDPR.
Matomo collects and stores comprehensive data on the behavior of site visitors. This also includes the IP addresses of website visitors, which fall under personal data. In order not to record complete IP addresses, the IP addresses are anonymized in the Matomo analysis tool so that they cannot be assigned to individual users. The user ID is exchanged with a pseudonym.
In addition, information on the number of visitors to the website, page views, length of stay or search terms used as well as technical data such as browser type, operating system used and screen resolution as well as the referrer URL, date and time of access are stored.
The use of the analysis tool requires the consent of the website visitor, which is obtained via the cookie banner. Matomo places a cookie in the website visitor's browser for data collection, which requires consent. You can object to this consent by rejecting the cookie in the cookie banner.
By forwarding the data to Matomo, we are obliged to conclude an order processing contract (AV contract) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This contract was concluded by us and regulates which data is forwarded to Matomo and how long it is stored as well as for what purpose Matomo uses this data and the mutual rights and obligations.
The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. A DSVGO and §25 Para. 1 TDDDG.
The data is automatically deleted and only stored for the purpose of website analysis for as long as it is earmarked.

24. Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn

On this website, the controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that allows users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the USA.

Each time you visit our website, which is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-ins may be accessed under developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn, LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject-and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site-which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If such a transmission of this information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website is made.

DOYMA regularly places advertisements via LinkedIn in the form of ads. The use of a LinkedIn Insight Tag serves to optimize and analyze our marketing campaigns on LinkedIn; only anonymized campaign reports on the website target group and ad performance are sent to DOYMA.

The controller has integrated Twitter components on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and disseminate so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 140 characters. These short messages can be accessed by anyone, including people who are not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Twitter also makes it possible to address a wide audience via hashtags, links or retweets.

The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information about the Twitter buttons is available at about.twitter.com/en/resources/buttons. During the course of this technical procedure, Twitter gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose of the integration of the Twitter component is to enable our users to redistribute the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world and to increase our visitor numbers.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Twitter, Twitter detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject-and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site-which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it is assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter.

Twitter always receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Twitter at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Twitter component or not. If such a transmission of information to Twitter is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Twitter account before a call-up to our website is made.

The applicable data protection provisions of Twitter may be accessed under twitter.com/privacy.

26. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Xing

The controller has integrated components of Xing on this website. Xing is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business contacts. Individual users can create a personal profile for themselves on Xing. Companies can, for example, create company profiles or publish job offers on Xing.

The operating company of Xing is XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Xing component to download a representation of the corresponding Xing component from Xing. Further information about the Xing plug-ins may be accessed under dev.xing.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, Xing receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Xing, Xing recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by the Xing component and assigned by Xing to the respective Xing account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Xing buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Share" button, Xing assigns this information to the personal Xing user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Xing always receives information via the Xing component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Xing at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Xing component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Xing, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Xing account before accessing our website.

The data protection provisions published by Xing, which can be accessed at www.xing.com/privacy, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Xing. Xing has also published data protection information for the XING share button at www.xing.com/app/share.

27. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

The controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

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.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting by calling up a sub-page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.

The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which can be accessed at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

28. Data protection provisions about the application of Pinterest (Pinterest Tag)

On this website, the controller has integrated the pixel (Pinterest Tag) of Pinterest Europe Limited, Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Pinterest is a social network that specializes in the sharing of graphic representations (images, photographs). Users can use Pinterest to exchange information about various hobbies and interests on so-called "pinboards" and view the respective profiles with images either openly or in defined groups.

Through this pixel, information about the use of this website (e.g. information about viewed articles) is collected under the joint responsibility of Pinterest Europe Limited and the controller and transmitted to Pinterest Europe Limited. The further processing of the data transmitted to Pinterest Europe Limited is the sole responsibility of Pinterest Europe Limited under data protection law.

This information transmitted to Pinterest Europe Limited can be assigned to personal data such as IP address and with the help of other information that Pinterest Europe Limited has stored about the person concerned, e.g. due to your ownership of an account on the social network "Pinterest".

The information collected via the pixel can be used to display interest-based advertisements about our offers to the corresponding person in the corresponding Pinterest account (retargeting).

The information collected via the pixel can also be aggregated by Pinterest Europe Limited and the aggregated information can be used by Pinterest Europe Limited for its own advertising purposes as well as for advertising purposes of third parties.

For example, Pinterest Europe Limited may infer certain interests from the surfing behavior on this website and also use this information to advertise third-party offers.

Pinterest Europe Limited may also combine the information collected via the pixel with other information that Pinterest Europe Limited has collected about the person via other websites and / or in connection with the use of the social network "Pinterest", so that a profile can be stored at Pinterest Europe Limited. This profile can be used for advertising purposes.

Insofar as Pinterest Europe Limited processes personal data as the sole controller under data protection law, it is possible that your data will be transferred from Pinterest Europe Limited to the USA. The European Court of Justice has ruled that the USA is a country with an inadequate level of data protection. In this context, there is a particular risk that your data will be processed by American institutions / authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you having sufficient legal recourse against this. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). Further information on data protection at Pinterest Europe Limited can be found here https://policy.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy
Consent to the transfer of data to Pinterest Europe Limited through the use of the pixel on this website can be revoked by deselecting the marketing cookies category and revising the corresponding settings.

29. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Spotify Ads Pixel

The controller has integrated a Spotify Ads tag on this website.

Spotify is a music streaming service where users can log in to listen to songs, create playlists and then share them with other users. Spotify can be used once as a premium version and once for free. With the free version, the use of Spotify is interrupted by advertising in the form of audio ads. This gives advertisers the opportunity to advertise on Spotify via audio spots and ads.

The service provider is the company Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, SE-111 53 Stockholm, Sweden.

In order to use Spotify, users must register with Spotify via a user account that contains personal data such as name, user name, date of birth, gender and e-mail address. When using an ad-free account, the address, country and payment details are also collected.

Spotify passes on data to third parties in anonymized form in various ways. Spotify also analyzes how users listen to music. Users who visit websites with integrated Spotify songs automatically pass on data such as their IP address to the music company. If users are also logged in to Spotify and click on the play button of a song integrated on the website, Spotify links the website visit to a Spotify profile.

There is currently no function on this website that allows you to listen to Spotify songs.

The tag built into the website allows both us and Spotify to track that a data subject has reached our website via a Spotify ad or audio ad and has performed a conversion.

The data and information collected through the use of conversion cookies is used by Spotify to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Spotify audio ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Spotify campaign and to optimize our Spotify ads for the future.

The conversion cookie is used to determine personal data, which usually includes IP address, browser type, operating system and other general information about the end device as well as information about your web activity. All this information is usually stored via cookies or pixel tags. Pseudonymized data is usually stored in cookies in your browser.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Spotify from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Spotify can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Spotify may be retrieved under https://www.spotify.com/de/legal/privacy-policy/.

30. Data protection provisions about the application and use of HubSpot.

The data controller has integrated a HubSpot tag on this website. HubSpot is a software company from the USA, HubSpot, Inc, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor Cambridge, MA, USA with a European branch in Ireland, HubSpot Ireland Limited Ground Floor, Two Dockland Central, Guilt Street, Dublin 1, Ireland and in Germany, HubSpot Germany GmbH, Am Postbahnhof 17, 10243 Berlin.

HubSpot is a marketing and sales platform that enables companies to attract more visitors to their website and convert them into leads.

This integrated software solution uses DOYMA for marketing purposes, specifically for lead generation and customer service purposes in the context of email marketing, which regulates the sending of newsletters and automated mailings, as well as for social media publishing and reporting, contact management such as user segmentation and CRM, landing pages and contact forms.

HubSpot uses cookies, small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your end device and enable DOYMA to analyze your use of the website. HubSpot evaluates the information collected and personal data (e.g. IP address, e-mail address, geographical location, type of browser, duration of visit and pages accessed) on behalf of DOYMA. This is used to generate reports on the visit and the pages visited.

The information collected by HubSpot as well as personal data and content are stored by HubSpot's service providers. If you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, the processing on this website is carried out for the purpose of website analysis.

HubSpot also processes the data in the USA, among other places. For this purpose, HubSpot is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data. You can find information on this under the following link: www.dataprivacyframework.gov/Program-Overview

For potential transfers to other third countries outside the EU and the EEA for which there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission, standard data protection clauses are also agreed in accordance with Art. 46 (2) and (3) GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the third country to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the standard data protection clauses, HubSpot undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing the relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. Further information can be found here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected.

You can permanently object to the collection of data by HubSpot and the setting of cookies by preventing the storage of cookies through your browser settings and making the appropriate settings. Alternatively, you can object to this via the consent banner. You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.

Further information on Hubspot's privacy policy can be found at the following link https://legal.hubspot.com/dpa and https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy?tid=137600132

31. Data protection provisions about the use of Zoom software

This website offers e-learning courses/online seminar courses that we hold on the Zoom platform (Zoom Video Communications, Inc., Note: Data Protection Officer, 55 Almaden Blvd, Suite 600, San Jose, CA 95113). Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on the website and when using its products and services. This policy includes the Zoom website zoom.us, mobile applications and desktop clients and applies worldwide. If customers use Zoom applications and cloud-based services, please refer to Zoom's Service Privacy Policy. For more information on the collection and use of data by Zoom, please see this link: zoom.us/en/privacy.html

32. Data protection provisions about the use of the WhatsApp messenger service

If you contact us via the WhatsApp messenger service, we will use your telephone number to communicate with you via WhatsApp. In addition, we process other personal data stored with WhatsApp, in particular your first and last name, your messages and files that you send to us via the app.

We process your mobile number to identify you. Your nickname, which is provided via WhatsApp, is used for display purposes. Your communication with us is saved as a conversation transcript. This serves the purpose of using previous communication with you as a context for future conversations. The transcript also contains confirmations of receipt and read receipts. These are used to ensure smooth reception and to clean up inactive contacts.

WhatsApp collects data independently. The purpose and scope of data collection by WhatsApp, the further processing of your data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy. You can find it here: www.whatsapp.com/legal/ or directly in the WhatsApp app.

The controller for the WhatsApp messenger service within the meaning of the GDPR is WhatsApp Ireland; the competent supervisory authority under the GDPR is the Irish Data Protection Authority. We would like to point out that WhatsApp stores data in third countries outside the EU and exchanges it with other services of the provider. We have no influence on this.

Your data is used exclusively for the purpose of communication. In addition, DOYMA GmbH & Co stores the chat history. The purpose of this is to save you from having to provide extensive explanations about the history of your request and for the continuous quality control of our chat service. Processing is therefore permitted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you do not wish this, you are welcome to inform us using the contact details below. We will then delete saved chats immediately.

The storage of chat data also serves the purpose of ensuring the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why processing is permitted under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

You also have the option of contacting the operator directly and requesting the deletion of the data.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Note on "META AI" in the WhatsApp messenger service
There is no general opt-out option for WhatsApp as there is for Facebook and Instagram. However, WhatsApp now offers "extended chat data protection". This prevents messages from being used for AI functions such as the mention of "Meta-AI". If you want to use this protection, you must activate it for each chat individually. Information on extended chat data protection | WhatsApp help section

33. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

34. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

35. Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Once this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.

36. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

37. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

38. Data protection declaration addendum Online survey tool on the easy-feedback.de platform (easyfeedback GmbH, Ernst-Abbe-Straße 4, 56070 Koblenz)

This website offers participation in an online survey tool that we offer on the easy-feedback.de platform (easyfeedback GmbH, Ernst-Abbe-Straße 4, 56070 Koblenz). Easyfeedback .de is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on the website and when using its products and services. For the purpose of conducting the online survey, personal data such as in particular the name of a participant, their company address or alternatively their address, e-mail address or telephone number will be processed. Further information on the processing of data by easyfeedback.de can be found at this link: easy-feedback.de/privacy/datenschutzerklaerung/

39. Data protection declaration addendum for our social media pages

Below we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data controller

We, DOYMA GmbH & Co, operate the following social media pages:

- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/doymagmbhco

- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/DoymaGmbH

- XING: https://www.xing.com/company/doyma

- kununu: https://www.kununu.com/de/doyma

- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/doymagmbh&co/

- Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/user65023290

- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doyma_de/

You can find our contact details in our legal notice.

In addition to us, there is also the operator of the social media platform itself. In this respect, this is also another controller who carries out data processing, but over which we have only limited influence. At the points where we can exert influence and parameterize data processing, we work towards data protection-compliant handling by the operator of the social media platform within the scope of the possibilities available to us. In many places, however, we cannot influence the data processing by the operator of the social media platform and do not know exactly what data they process.

Data processing by us

The data you enter on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, images, likes, public messages, etc., are published by the social media platform and are not used or processed by us for any other purpose at any time. We only reserve the right to delete content should this be necessary. We may share your content on our site if this is a function of the social media platform and communicate with you via the social media platform. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Data processing is carried out in the interest of our public relations and communication.

We use the provider Hootsuite to provide various pages with a cross-platform portal, content and for analysis and tracking purposes. We use the portal for our presence on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Google My Business. Hootsuite primarily processes data from social media posts made by the controller. As the content on social media is user-generated, it may contain personal data at any time if social media users decide to share this information (e.g. when sharing or liking posts). Further information and Hootsuite's applicable privacy policy can be found here and here.

If you wish to object to certain data processing over which we have an influence, please contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice. We will then review your objection.

If you send us an inquiry on the social media platform, we may also refer you to other, secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the required response. You always have the option of sending us confidential inquiries to the address given in our legal notice.

As already mentioned, where the provider of the social media platform gives us the opportunity, we make sure that our social media pages are as data protection compliant as possible. In particular, we therefore do not use the demographic, interest-based, behavior-based or location-based target group definitions for advertising that the operator of the social media platform may make available to us. Overall, we do not use the social media platform for advertising purposes. With regard to statistics that the provider of the social media platform makes available to us, we can only influence these to a limited extent and cannot switch them off. However, we make sure that no additional optional statistics are made available to us.

Data processing by the operator of the social media platform

The operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. As already explained, we unfortunately have little influence on the web tracking methods of the social media platform. For example, we cannot switch this off.

Please be aware that it cannot be ruled out that the provider of the social media platform will use your profile and behavioral data, for example to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. In this respect, we have no influence on the processing of your data by the provider of the social media platform.

You can find more information on data processing by the provider of the social media platform and other objection options in the provider's privacy policy:
