11. Processing of personal data in the context of online surveys and questionnaires

We provide online surveys and questionnaires on our website, for example as part of research projects or on behalf of clients. Participation in these surveys is voluntary.

Type and purpose of data processing
When conducting online surveys, we process the data you enter in the form as well as technical data (such as IP address and time of participation). Depending on the survey, the collected data may include, for example, contact details, professional information, or expert opinions. We use this data to conduct and analyze the respective survey, to create studies, and, if you have given your consent, to contact you.

Legal basis
The processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR), our legitimate interests in carrying out surveys (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) or for the performance of a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR).

Contact details for which you have given us consent for further use will be stored until you withdraw this consent.

Technical implementation
We currently use the WordPress plugin WPForms for our surveys. The collected data is stored on our web server. We use SSL encryption for data security and have a data processing agreement in place with our hosting provider.

Your rights
Regarding your data, you have the same rights as explained in section 8 of our privacy policy. Participation in surveys is voluntary, and you can withdraw your consent at any time. However, withdrawal is no longer possible for data that has already been anonymized.

Cookie Policy

The user is thoroughly informed in advance, consent is given before the use of cookies, and the consent is given voluntarily, unambiguously, and through an active action.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data stored in text files that are saved on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser.

They are frequently used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit through a “session cookie” or for multiple repeat visits through a “persistent cookie.” They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors and perform important functions, such as the ability to register and stay logged in.

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting, known as “first-party cookies”, or by third parties, e.g., those that provide content or offer advertising or analytics services on the website, known as “third-party cookies”.

Both websites and HTML emails can also contain other tracking technologies such as "web beacons" or "pixels." These are typically small, transparent images that provide us with statistics for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, although they are not stored on your computer in the same way. If you disable cookies, the web beacons will still load, but their functionality will be limited.

Use of Google services

We use the following technologies from Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“). The information about your use of our website that is automatically collected by Google technologies is generally transmitted to and stored on a server of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the USA. Our cooperation is based on standard contractual clauses for data protection issued by the European Commission. If your IP address is collected via Google technologies, it is shortened before being stored on Google's servers by activating IP anonymization. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and shortened there. Unless otherwise stated for the individual technologies, data processing is based on a joint controllership agreement pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. You can find further information about data processing by Google in Google's privacy policy.

Google Analytics

For website analysis purposes, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website), from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Your IP address is generally not combined with other Google data. Data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Google.

For the purpose of optimizing the marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for “Google products and services.” This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and subsequently use it to improve Google services. The data sharing with Google under these settings is based on an additional agreement between data controllers. We have no control over the subsequent data processing by Google.

We also use the Google Analytics extension function Google Optimize to create and conduct tests.

For web analytics, Google Analytics uses the Google Signals extension, which enables so-called "cross-device tracking." If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account, Google can generate reports about your usage behavior (especially cross-device user numbers), even if you switch devices. We do not process any personal data in this context; we only receive statistics generated by Google Signals.

For web analytics and advertising purposes, the DoubleClick cookie, an extension of Google Analytics, enables your browser to be recognized when you visit other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website usage.

Google AdSense
Our website uses Google AdSense to market advertising space for third-party providers. These ads are displayed to you at various locations on this website. The so-called DoubleClick cookie enables the display of interest-based advertising by collecting and processing data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) and automatically assigning a pseudonymous UserID, which helps determine your interests based on visits to this and other websites.

Google Ads
For advertising purposes in Google search results and on third-party websites, a so-called Google Remarketing cookie is set when you visit our website. This cookie automatically enables interest-based advertising by collecting and processing data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) and using a pseudonymous cookie ID based on the pages you have visited. Further data processing only takes place if you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account. If you are logged into Google during your visit to our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing.

For website analysis and event tracking, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to measure your subsequent user behavior after you have reached our website via a Google Ads advertisement. Cookies may be used for this purpose, and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website based on events we define, such as visiting a page or subscribing to a newsletter) may be collected. This data is then used to create pseudonymous user profiles.
