Our Website

​

To ensure our website is user-friendly, we use cookies, some of which may originate from third-party providers. For a detailed list of the cookies we employ, please refer to the "Our Cookies" section below.

The personal data collected from you is transferred primarily when we engage external service providers (e.g., www.wix.com) to host our website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with such external service providers in accordance with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this agreement, we contractually obligate these external service providers to maintain the confidentiality of your personal data and to implement appropriate data security measures.

If external service providers are located in third countries, they have either been classified as secure third countries by an adequacy decision of the European Commission, or we have implemented appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) as alternative protective measures. For instance, such an adequacy decision exists for Israel, where our service provider www.wix.com is based.

Our Cookies

"Cookies" are small text files that are stored on your device via your browser. Among other things, they enable us to recognize your browser upon your next visit and to design our website in a user-friendly manner. In this process, information about you (e.g., IP address, technical data) may be collected and, in some cases, transmitted to third-party providers. Many browsers are configured to accept cookies automatically. However, you can disable the storage of cookies or configure your browser to notify you whenever a website attempts to store cookies. If you choose to be notified, you can then decline our cookies. You can adjust the corresponding privacy settings within your browser. Please note that the functionality of our website may be limited if you decline or disable our cookies.

We use only technically necessary cookies; therefore, we do not require your consent. In doing so, we rely on our overriding legitimate interests (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation), as we require these cookies to ensure the functionality of our website. Without the use of technically necessary cookies, we would be unable to provide you with our website and its features.

Contacting Us

​

If you contact us using our contact details (e.g., address, email address, telephone number), we will use the personal data you provide solely for the purpose of processing and responding to your inquiry. In doing so, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR]). Should you, in the course of contacting us, submit specific inquiries regarding our services or request consultation from us in this regard, we additionally rely on the fulfillment of pre-contractual obligations (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter b of the GDPR). Without the processing of your personal data, we would be unable to respond to your inquiry.

The personal data you provide will not be passed on to or disclosed to third parties. Exceptions to this apply only if we are legally obliged to transmit or disclose such data pursuant to statutory provisions, or if you have provided us with your prior consent to do so.

In the event of any misuse of our website, we reserve the right to forward the provided personal data to the competent authorities.

 

Your Registration for the Members' Area

​

If you register for our members' area, we process your personal data (e.g., first and last name, email address, comments, profile name, profile picture) for the purpose of registration and to provide various functions for our members (e.g., a commenting function). In doing so, we rely on our legitimate interests (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f of the GDPR). Without this data processing, we would be unable to provide our members' area and its associated functions; consequently, you would, for instance, be unable to network with other members or leave comments.

Information provided by you (e.g., profile name, profile picture, comments) will be made public to other website visitors if you utilize specific functions within the members' portal (e.g., the commenting function). Otherwise, the personal data you have provided will not be passed on to or disclosed to third parties. Exceptions to this apply only if we are obliged to transmit or disclose such data pursuant to statutory provisions, or if you have given us your prior consent to do so.

​

Our Data Storage

​

We store personal data provided by you only for as long as is necessary for the aforementioned purposes—for which we process the data.

Statutory documentation and retention obligations may result in a longer storage period. Upon the expiration of the relevant periods, your personal data will be deleted, provided that no other legal basis for continued storage exists under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

​

Your Job Application

​

If you submit a job application via our website, we will process the personal data you provide, as well as the documents you submit, exclusively for the purpose of reviewing your application and conducting the application process. In doing so, we rely on the fulfillment of pre-contractual obligations (Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter b of the GDPR). Without the processing of your personal data, we would be unable to review your application or conduct the application process. Unless you have provided your prior explicit consent, your application will neither be retained for future reference nor forwarded to third parties.
