In accordance with Art. 12 of the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: GDPR), we are obliged to inform you about the processing of your data when using our website. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and this data protection declaration informs you about the details of the processing of your data and about your legal rights in this regard.
We recommend that you read the data protection statement from time to time and keep a printout or a copy for your files.
“Personal data” means all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Identifiable is a person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics which express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal data is therefore, for example, a person’s name, e-mail address and telephone number, but may also include information about preferences, hobbies and memberships.
“Processing” means operations or sets of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures in connection with personal data, such as the collection, recording, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation, modification, reading, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation, linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.
“Pseudonymisation” means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
“Consent” means hereinafter any voluntary declaration of intent in the form of a declaration or other clear affirmative act by which the data subject indicates his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, in an informed and unambiguous manner, for the particular case.
“Google” means Google, LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; available in the European Union at: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.
This data protection declaration applies to all pages of www.clicks.de. It does not extend to any linked websites or internet presences of other providers.
You can assert your rights by notifying the contact specified in the “Responsible Provider” section or the data protection officer appointed by us.
Temporary processing of the IP address by the system is necessary to technically enable the website to be delivered to your computer. Processing your IP address for the duration of the session is required. The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The access data is not used to identify individual users and is not merged with other data sources. The access data is deleted when it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its processing. In the case of collecting the data to provide the website, this is the case when you end your visit to the website.
IP addresses are stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, further processing is possible in individual cases. In this case, the IP address is deleted or so alienated that an assignment to the calling client is no longer possible.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the processing of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. You may object to the processing. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing, or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not processed to create user profiles. We also use “session cookies”, which store a session ID that can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the shared session. Session cookies are necessary for using the website. In particular, it enables us to recognise the device used when you return to the website. We use this cookie to recognise you on subsequent visits to the website if you have an account with us; otherwise you would have to log in again each time you visit. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. We use session cookies to make the use of the website more attractive and effective. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you log out or close your browser.
These cookies are used to make the use of the website more efficient and attractive. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The technically unnecessary cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR, if the establishment of contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract.
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us purely for the processing of the establishment of contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
In this context, the data will not be forwarded to third parties. The data is processed exclusively for processing the conversation. We delete the data disclosed in this context after the processing is no longer necessary, or limit the processing to compliance with the existing legally mandatory storage obligations.
You have the possibility to object to the processing of your personal data for contact enquiries at any time. This is the case if processing is not necessary to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the previous description of the functions. In such a case, processing of the request may not be continued. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing, or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.
We process your personal data, if and as far as this is necessary for the initiation, justification, execution and/or termination of a legal transaction with our company. The legal basis for this results from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
we are authorised, or even obliged, to forward the data in order to pursue overriding legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) GDPR).
Your personal data will not be forwarded to other persons, companies or bodies unless you have effectively consented to such a transfer. The legal basis for processing is then Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You can register on the website to be a guest or speaker at events organised by our company or events at which our company is represented. The basis for processing your data for participation in events is Art. 6 Par. 1 S. 1 lit b) GDPR. The processing is necessary for the establishment, execution or termination of legal transactions with our company (e.g. also when forwarding data to a payment service provider / a mail order company to process a contract with you).
In the registration form you must include your name, your company and your e-mail address. The purpose of the processing is to maintain contacts in the IT sector and to improve our external image and our public relations work. If you have expressed your interest in a personal appointment, your data will also be processed for the preparation and execution of the appointment.
Your data will be forwarded to third parties (e.g. payment service provider, mail order company and the organiser) for the purpose of payment processing, dispatch of event documents and registration of the event with the organizer. A targeted transfer of your personal data to a so-called third country is not planned.
We delete the data disclosed in this context after the storage is no longer necessary, or limit the processing if statutory retention obligations exist.
You do not have to enter a real name, you are free to use the function pseudonymously.
When your entry is published, the e-mail address you provided will not be published, only the name / pseudonym you provided and optionally the website. Your entry will not be checked by us before publication. We reserve the right to remove entries at any time if they are found to be unlawful.
We process your e-mail address and your name/pseudonym if necessary, in order to be able to determine if the entry is a real experience report. Furthermore, we would like to be able to contact you if your entry on the website is reported to us as being unlawful and to defend ourselves against complaints or claims that may be brought against us as a result of your entry.
For this purpose, we also process your IP address. We delete the IP address after 1 week. We will process your e-mail address as long as the entry remains on the website or we are involved with the entry in the context of a legal dispute.
If you, or we, delete your entry, we process the e-mail address, the names provided and other voluntary information up to the expiry of the statutory limitation periods for the aforementioned reasons of prevention and defence, but limit the processing of this data after 6 months.
We do not forward the data to third parties, unless we are obliged to do so by law or by official or judicial order, or the passing on is necessary for the enforcement of our legitimate interests. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
You can object to the processing of your given data. You can delete your entry yourself at any time. You are free to take measures in accordance with the “Your Rights” section, and if you have any complaints, please contact our company as a first step.
We are pleased that you are interested in us and have applied or are applying for a position in our company. Hereinafter we would like to provide you with information on the processing of your personal data in connection with your application. We process the data necessary for the online application process (name, e-mail address and location), as well as data that you have sent us in connection with your application in order to check your suitability for the position (or any other open positions in our company) and to carry out the application process.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in this application procedure is primarily § 26 BDSG in the version valid from 25.05.2018. It allows the processing of data required in connection with the decision to establish an employment relationship. Should the data be necessary for legal prosecution after completion of the application procedure, data may be processed on the basis of the requirements of Art. 6 GDPR, in particular to safeguard legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We are then interested in asserting or defending claims.
Candidate data will be deleted after 6 months in the event of rejection. In the event that you have agreed to further storage of your personal data, we will add your data to our applicant pool. There the data will be deleted after two years. If your application process is successful, the data from the applicant data system will be transferred to our personnel information system.
We use a specialised software provider for the application process. They will act as a service provider for us and may also gain knowledge of your personal data in connection with the maintenance and care of the systems. We have concluded a so-called order processing contract with this provider, which ensures that data processing is carried out in a permissible manner.
Your application data will be reviewed by the personnel department on receipt of your application. Suitable applications are then forwarded internally to the department heads for the respective open position. The further procedure is then coordinated. In the company, only those persons have access to your data who need this for the proper course of our application procedure.
You have the possibility of objecting to the processing of your data at any time. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the previous description of the functions. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing, or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.
Information on how to reach us by public transport.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. We carry out this processing for customer care and to increase our services. We delete your data when you cancel your newsletter subscription, but no later than two years after termination of the contract.
We would like to point out that you can object to receiving direct advertising at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. Click on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter or send us your objection to the contact given in the section “Responsible provider”.
To subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, please use the double opt-in procedure. After entering the data marked as mandatory, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to explicitly confirm your subscription to the newsletter (by clicking on a confirm link). This is how we ensure that you really want to receive our e-mail newsletter. If the confirmation does not take place within 24 hours, we block the information transmitted to us and delete it automatically after one month at the latest.
We process your IP address, the time of registration for the newsletter and the time of your confirmation in order to document your newsletter registration and to prevent misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. We process this data until two years after termination of the contract. If the newsletter registration takes place outside a contract conclusion, we process this data up to the expiration of two years after termination of the usage. We delete this data when the newsletter subscription ends.
After your confirmation, we will process the e-mail address and name/pseudonym of the recipient concerned for the purpose of sending you our e-mail newsletter. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. We delete this data when you cancel your newsletter subscription.
You can revoke your consent to the processing of your e-mail address to receive the newsletter at any time, either by sending us a message (see the contact details in the section “Responsible provider/representative of the provider in the European Union”) or by clicking directly on the unsubscribe link contained in the newsletter.
We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which represent single-pixel image files that are integrated in our website. For evaluation purposes, we link the data mentioned in the “Access Data” section and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links included in the newsletter also contain this ID.
With the collected data, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. When you read our newsletters, we record which links you click on in them and deduce your personal interests. We link this data to actions taken by you on our website. The information is processed as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After a cancellation, we process the data purely statistically and anonymously.
The purpose of this is to evaluate the use and for optimisation of the e-mail advertising we send you. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter or by informing us via the contact data specified in the “Responsible provider” section.
You can also prevent tracking by disabling the display of images in your e-mail programme by default. In this case the newsletter will not be displayed completely and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above tracking takes place.
We use CleverReach for sending newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which the newsletter dispatch can be organised and analysed. The data you enter for newsletter subscription (e.g. e-mail address) will be stored on CleverReach’s servers in Germany and Ireland.
Our newsletters that are sent out with CleverReach enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, it is possible to analyse how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link was clicked in the newsletter. With the help of the so-called conversion tracking we can also analyse whether a pre-defined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. For more information on data analysis via CleverReach newsletters, please visit: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/features/reporting-und-tracking/.
You can object to the processing at any time with effect for the future by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter. This terminates the processing for receiving the newsletter and for statistical analysis at the same time. A separate objection to the dispatch via CleverReach or the statistical evaluation is not possible.
Alternatively, you can object at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (for the European Union region).
In the case of payment on account, we reserve the right to forward your data, which you provide when ordering / booking, to external companies (e.g. Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V., Hellersbergstraße 12, D-41460 Neuss) in order to carry out a credit assessment.
This data is forwarded on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR, since in the case of payment on account, we make advance payment and bear the credit risk. We delete the data disclosed in this context after the storage is no longer necessary, or limit the processing if statutory retention obligations exist.
You can object to this processing at any time, but it is possible that you can no longer use the “purchase on account” payment method.
In the event of non-payment, we reserve the right to forward the disclosed data at the time of order / booking to a lawyer and/or to external companies (e.g. Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V., Hellersbergstraße 12, D-41460 Neuss) if there is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR for purposes of address determination and/or law enforcement.
In addition, we may disclose your information when necessary to exercise our rights, as well as the rights of our affiliates, our cooperation partners, our employees and/or users of our website. Under no circumstances will we sell or rent your data to third parties. This data is forwarded on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
You have the possibility to object to the processing of your data at any time. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the previous description of the functions. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing, or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.
We use external hosting services for the operation of this website. By using external hosting services, we aim to make our website available efficiently and securely. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The collection of data for the provision and use of the website and the processing of data via external web hosts is absolutely essential for the operation of the website. You may object to the processing. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing, or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing.
The website includes third-party content such as videos, maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This integration always requires that the providers of this content (“third party providers”) have access to the Users’ IP addresses. Without the IP address, they are not able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is, therefore, required in order for the content to be displayed.
We make every effort to only use content from third parties who process the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers process the IP addresses, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we are aware of this, we will inform you hereinafter accordingly.
The website includes plugins from AddThis, a service of AddThis Inc. (1595 Spring Hill Rd, Suite 300, Vienna, VA 22182; hereinafter “AddThis”).
These plugins allow you to bookmark or share interesting content with other users. With the plugins, we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
When using these plugins, your internet browser establishes a direct connection to the AddThis servers and the selected social networking or bookmarking service, if applicable. Recipients are informed that they have accessed the relevant website of our online offer and the data specified in the section “Use of the website, access data” is processed on AddThis servers in the USA. [We have concluded standard data protection clauses with AddThis.]. When you send content on our website to social networks or bookmarking services, a link can be established between visiting our website and your user profile on the relevant network. We have no influence on the data collected and processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope, the purposes of the processing and the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the processed data by the plugin provider.
The plugin provider stores this data as user profiles and processes it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such evaluation takes place in particular (even for users that are not logged in) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plugin provider to exercise this right.
The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have no knowledge of the storage duration at AddThis and have no influence upon this.
If you do not wish to participate in this process, you can object to the data processing at any time by setting an opt-out cookie with effect for the future: http://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out.
The opt-out cookie is set for the domain in the browser used. If you use different devices, change your browser after the opt-out or delete all cookies, you must set the opt-out cookie again using the above activation link.

The Tool Tag Manager itself, (which implements the tags), is a cookieless domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
We use plugins from the video platform YouTube.de or YouTube.com on the website, a service operated – represented by Google – by YouTube LLC (headquarters at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA; “YouTube”). When using the plugins, we can also include visual content (“videos”) that we have published on Youtube.de and Youtube.com on this website.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports for us on website activity and to provide us with further services relating to website and internet use.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that a personal relationship can be ruled out. Should the data collected about you be personal, it will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics help us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

This tool records movements on the observed web pages in so-called heat maps. All data is collected without us being able to assign it to specific users. We can only track how the mouse moves, where it was clicked and how far it was scrolled. This allows us to make our website better and more customer-friendly. Furthermore, the screen size of the device, the device type, information about the browser, the country from which it was accessed and the preferred language are recorded. If personal data is displayed on a website, it is automatically hidden by Hotjar. It is, therefore, incomprehensible to us.
To analyse your usage behaviour, so-called “cookies” (see the “Cookies” section above) are used, which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the “tracking code” and “cookie” about your visit to our website is transmitted to and stored on the Hotjar servers. The tracking code collects the following information about your device such as IP address, device type and browser information, geographic location (country only), the language preferred to display our website, pages visited, date and time when the website was accessed. Hotjar shortens your IP address before it is processed. Should the data collected about you be personal, it will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
Hotjar will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, generate usage reports and other services relating to website usage and internet analysis of the website. Hotjar also uses third-party services such as Google Analytics and Optimizely. These third parties may store information that your browser sends when you visit the site, such as cookies or IP requests. For more information on how Google Analytics and Optimizely store and use data, please refer to their respective privacy statements.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The cookies Hotjar uses have different retention periods. some remain valid for up to 365 days, some only remain valid during the current visit. An overview of the storage duration can be found on: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/cookie-information. Further information about Hotjar Ltd. and about the tool Hotjar can be found on: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy.

If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can associate your visit with your account.

By deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices. This setting is deleted if you delete your cookies.
We use the Google AdWords/Google Ads service from Google to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google AdWords/Google Ads) on external websites. We can determine in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more attractive to you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
This advertising media is delivered by Google via so-called “Ad Servers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, with which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the insertion of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords/Google Ads stores a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (mark that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the customer may recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies can, therefore, not be traced via the AdWords customers’ websites. We do not process any personal data ourselves in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. On the basis of these evaluations we can recognise which of the used advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.

This application allows you to see our advertisements after visiting our website when you continue to use the internet. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used to record and evaluate your usage behaviour when you visit various websites via Google. This is how Google can determine your previous visit to our website.

The plugins are indicated on our website by the above-mentioned lettering or by small stylised symbols.
We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with the provider of the plugin via the button. The plugin provider only receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it. In addition, the data specified in the “Access data” section are transmitted.
In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymised immediately after collection, according to the respective provider in Germany. By activating the plugin, personal data is transmitted from you to the respective plugin provider and processed there (for US providers in the USA). Since the plugin provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the greyed-out box using your browser’s security settings.
We have no influence on the data collected and processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of data processing, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plugin provider.
The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and processes this for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for users that are not logged in) for the representation of demand-fair advertisement and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.
The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. By using plugins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
The data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plugin provider, the data that we have collected from you will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plugin provider. If you click on the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plugin provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts.
We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the plugin provider.
