Mail: [email protected]
How do we collect your data?
Data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior in order to optimize our website.
We use the data that you specifically provide to us, for example in the contact form, to process your respective request.
Why are we allowed to process your data?
The basis for the processing of your data that you send us in the context of an inquiry, when using the contact form or in the form of an application is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. The legal basis for the provision and optimization of the website results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest as controller. If you give us your consent, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR is the legal basis.
Third-party analytics and tools
When you visit our website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done using cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous; the surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information on this can be found in the following privacy policy.
e-Tracker
The provider of this website uses the services of etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany https://www.etracker.com to analyze usage data. We do not use cookies for web analysis by default. If we use analysis and optimization cookies, we will obtain your explicit consent separately in advance. If this is the case and you give your consent, cookies are used to enable a statistical analysis of the reach of this website, to measure the success of our online marketing measures and test procedures, e.g. to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the Internet browser on the user's end device. etracker cookies do not contain any information that enables a user to be identified.
The data generated with 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 and certified in this respect and has been awarded the data protection seal of approval https://www.eprivacy.eu/kunden/vergebene-siegel/firma/etracker-gmbh/
The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (legitimate interest) of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). Our concern in terms of the DSGVO (legitimate interest) is the optimization of our online offer and our web presence. Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, the data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymized or pseudonymized as soon as possible. No other use, combination with other data or disclosure to third parties takes place.
You can object to the data processing described above at any time by clicking on the slider. The objection has no negative consequences. If no slider is displayed, data collection has already been prevented by other blocking measures.consult-sk.com

Privacy
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising e-mails
The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation to send advertising and information materials not expressly requested is hereby prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
External links
Our website offers you external links within our partner references. This data protection declaration does not extend to the pages of the external providers; the respective providers' own data protection declarations apply there. However, we always strive to ensure that the respective providers comply with the data protection standards in accordance.
Cookies
Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Our presence on social media platforms
We maintain online presences on various social media platforms. If we have included links to our social media platforms on our website, these are pure links and not so-called plugins (requiring consent). When you click on the links, you will be redirected to the websites of the respective social media platforms.
However, as users of the various social media platforms, we have no influence whatsoever on the processing of your data by the providers of the social media platforms. It cannot be ruled out that the providers of the social media platforms may use your data for their own purposes and/or pass it on to third parties. This may concern your habits, personal relationships, preferences and other aspects. We would also like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union, which may make it more difficult or even impossible to enforce your rights. Only access our social media platforms if you are aware of these effects and are willing to accept the aforementioned risks.
The legal basis(s) for the processing of your personal data and the addressee for asserting your rights as a data subject can be found in the individual data protection notice (or privacy policy) for each social media platform.

We use the "LinkedIn" platform for the purpose of presenting our company there and drawing your attention to current trends, products and services from us via posts and videos. The following information also serves as data protection information for our online presence there.
The services for the EU are provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. The headquarters of LinkedIn Inc. is located in Sunnyvale, California, USA. The company belongs to Microsoft.
A hyperlink to LinkedIn is integrated into our website and identified by a logo. Clicking on the logo opens the LinkedIn website.
When you access LinkedIn services, LinkedIn may receive personal data from you. For details, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy at the following link:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
You can find LinkedIn's cookie policy at the following link:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy
As part of the maintenance of our basic company profile, we have limited access to statistical evaluations from LinkedIn, e.g. about the number of page views of our online presence. LinkedIn makes this data available in aggregated and anonymized form for certain periods of time, but does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about identifiable visitors to our company page.
We have no influence on the means and purposes of the processing of personal data by LinkedIn, insofar as these are collected in connection with a visit to the LinkedIn website and our LinkedIn online presence. We would like to point out that you use LinkedIn and its functions on your own responsibility. If we process your personal data, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we assume that your fundamental rights to the protection of your personal data do not prevail here.
According to LinkedIn, the data centers for your members (who, like us, are registered with LinkedIn and have an account) are located in the USA. The USA is considered a third country without an adequacy decision, which therefore does not guarantee a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU. The
LinkedIn services require data to be transferred from the European Union (EU) to the United States of America (USA) and back. This also applies to you as a visitor if you use LinkedIn services and certain functions, e.g. if you post a comment on one of our posts.
The data transfer to the USA is based on standard contractual clauses. You can find information from LinkedIn on this under the following links:
https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62533?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=de
https://de.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa
The LinkedIn user agreement (applies to members and visitors) can be found at the following link:
https://de.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement.
Please note the following when using LinkedIn:
Your data will be transferred to the USA. When personal data is transferred, there are risks under data protection law for the person whose data is transferred to the USA. US authorities (in particular intelligence agencies) are entitled to examination rights (in particular pursuant to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA 702) and Executive Order 12 333) without EU citizens being able to defend themselves against this. These US legal bases allow data access to electronic communications services of non-US citizens even without a court order and legal protection.
As far as judicial protection is concerned, EU citizens do not have the same legal options (legal remedies) as American citizens to defend themselves against the processing of personal data by American authorities.
The United States carries out mass data processing without guaranteeing protection equivalent to that guaranteed by Art. 7 (respect for private and family life) and Art. 8 (protection of personal data) of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Since 2018, there has also been the Cloud Act, which allows US authorities to access data stored by American companies (and their subsidiaries in Europe) that is not stored in the USA.
YouTube
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as "YouTube". YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google".
Service provider
The company providing the service in the European Economic Area and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland (registration number: 368047) with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (referred to as "YouTube", "we", "us" or "our"). References in these Terms of Use to the "affiliated companies" of YouTube refer to the companies of the Alphabet Inc. group of companies pursuant to Sections 15 et seq. German Stock Corporation Act.
We use YouTube in connection with the "extended data protection mode" function in order to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.
According to YouTube, the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video. Without this "extended data protection mode", a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our web pages on which a YouTube video is embedded. This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you have visited. In addition, a connection to Google's "DoubleClick" advertising network is established. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality and analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under "Cookies". Google provides further information about the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the data protection information available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Use of collected data in statistics
Our website provider provides us with the following anonymized statistics. We do not use or evaluate the statistics and cannot currently deactivate the creation of statistics:
Who can receive data from me?
In order to be able to process your request, we will pass on your data to companies within our group of companies.
Will you transfer my data to countries outside the European Union?
This is not planned by us.
How long will you store my data?
Your data will be stored until we have finally processed your request and existing statutory retention periods have expired.
Do I have to provide my data?
In order for you to use our website offers or for us to be able to process a request from you, it is necessary for you to provide us with personal data. For a (planned) conclusion and execution of the contract with you, the provision of personal data is mandatory and also required by law. If you do not provide it, we will not be able to conclude a contract with you.
In the event of complaints, you can contact the competent supervisory authority at any time. The supervisory authority named under point 1 (3) is responsible for our company. You have the right to an effective judicial remedy against a supervisory authority (Art. 78 GDPR), as well as against our company (Art. 79 GDPR).
Note on your rights
As a data subject of a data processing operation, you have, among others, the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter also referred to as "data subject rights"):
Exercising the rights of data subjects
To exercise your rights as a data subject, please contact the offices listed under point 1. Requests that are submitted electronically will generally be answered electronically. The information, notifications and measures to be provided in accordance with the GDPR, including "the exercise of data subject rights, are generally provided free of charge.

If we are unable to identify you, we are entitled to refuse to process your request. If we are unable to identify you, we will inform you separately if possible.

Requests for information are generally processed immediately (within one month) after receipt of the request.

If we do not act on a request, we will inform you immediately within one month of receipt of the request of the reasons for this and inform you of the possibility of lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority or seeking a judicial remedy. (Art. 12 para. 3; 4 GDPR).
