Analysis by WiredMinds

Our website uses the tracking pixel technology of WiredMinds AG, a service of WiredMinds GmbH, Lindenspürstraße 32, 70176 Stuttgart, to analyze visitor behavior. This involves processing a visitor’s IP address. The processing is carried out solely for the purpose of collecting company-related information, such as the company name. IP addresses of natural persons are excluded from further use (whitelist procedure). Under no circumstances will the IP address be stored.
When processing the data, it is our particular interest to protect the data protection rights of natural persons. Our interest is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR. At no time does the data we collect allow us to draw any conclusions about an identifiable person.

WiredMinds GmbH uses this information to create anonymous user profiles based on visitor behavior on our website. The data obtained in this way is not used to personally identify visitors to our website.
