Since there is a transfer of personal data to the USA, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the data protection level of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed on standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA that go beyond this.

Justification: The legal basis for the use of Hubspot's services is Art. 6 I f DS-GVO - legitimate interest. Our legitimate interest in the use of this service is the optimization of our marketing measures and the improvement of our service quality on the website.

Storage duration: We store personal data that you provide to us for as long as we have a legitimate business interest. If we have no legitimate business interest in continuing to process your personal data, we will securely delete the data or make it anonymous. If neither is possible, we will store your personal data in a secure manner and exclude it from any further data processing until deletion is possible.

FACEBOOK PIXEL

We use the Facebook pixel from Facebook on our website. We have implemented a code on our website for this purpose. The Facebook pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that loads a collection of functions that allow Facebook to track your user actions if you came to our website through Facebook ads. For example, when you perform an action on our website, the Facebook pixel is triggered and stores your actions on our website in one or more cookies. These cookies allow Facebook to match your user data (customer data such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook account data. Then Facebook deletes this data again. The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and can only be used in the context of ad placements. If you yourself are a Facebook user and are logged in, the visit to our website is automatically assigned to your Facebook user account.

We want to show our services or products only to those people who are really interested in them. With the help of Facebook pixels, our advertising measures can be better tailored to your wishes and interests. Thus, Facebook users (if they have allowed personalized advertising) get to see suitable advertising. Furthermore, Facebook uses the collected data for analysis purposes and its own advertisements.

If you are logged in to Facebook, you can change your ad settings here yourself.
