Hubspot

We use HubSpot for marketing activities on our website. HubSpot is a software company from the USA with a branch office HubSpot Ireland Limited in 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland.

We use this integrated software solution for our own marketing, lead generation and customer service purposes. These include email marketing, which regulates the sending of newsletters and automated mailings, 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 us to analyze your use of the website. HubSpot evaluates the information collected (e.g. IP address, geographical location, type of browser, duration of the visit and pages accessed) on our behalf so that we can generate reports on the visit and the pages visited.

Information collected by HubSpot and the content of our website is stored on the servers of 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.

Since HubSpot may transfer personal data to affiliated companies and subcontractors in countries outside the EU and the EEA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection required by the GDPR. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR with regard to companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. HubSpot, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards, which can be viewed at the following link: www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search. 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 pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR are also agreed. These oblige the recipient of the data in the third country to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve 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. You can object to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.
