II. Purposes and legal basis
During the use of our website, we collect and process technically provided data or data that you submit in your inputs and by using our website. This processing enables us to provide you with the content and functions of our website and to send you our newsletter or other notifications for attractive offers and special promotions with your consent.
The processing of this data is based on your consent, for the initiation of business relationships or fulfillment of contracts. Furthermore, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing customer-friendly and interesting content and functions, as well as to maintain and strengthen our good relationship with our customers. Furthermore, we process the data if we are legally obliged to do so, for example due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations. If and insofar as the processing is based on your consent, you can revoke the consent at any time with effect for the future. The legal basis for this processing is art. 6 para. 1 s. 1, lit. a), b), c), f) GDPR.

III. General use of the website
If you use our website, we only process data that is necessary or appropriate for the fulfillment of the above purposes, to facilitate all functions and to ensure a safe use of our website.
Each time a user accesses our website, data and information about the respective user are processed automatically in order to ensure technical delivery of the content and functionality of our website. The processing is carried out for the fulfilment and initiation of a contract as well as on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing a functional and user-friendly website. In addition, the processing is carried out in order to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. The legal basis of the processing is art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b), f) GDPR). In this context, we process in particular:

browser type, incl. version of the browser,
information about the language settings of your browser as well as country settings,
operating system,
IP address of the user,
date and time of access,
websites from which your system accesses our website and
websites that are accessed by your system via our website.

The data will be processed and, in particular, stored for as long as is necessary to achieve the aforementioned purpose. Insofar as data is required for the provision of the website, the necessity ends when the respective session has ended. The data will then be deleted. In case of storage of data in log files, the data is usually deleted after fourteen days at the latest. Thereafter, the data will be anonymised or deleted, except of data that (i) is still required for the investigation or prosecution of cyber-attacks or (ii) must be stored/saved in accordance to legal or statutory documentation obligations. Data submitted by you via the contact form and other forms will be stored for a period of ten years and delete thereafter to fulfil our storage obligations. If we further store or save the aforementioned data, your IP address will be deleted or alienated, so that it is no longer possible to retrace an individual connection. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website.
The security of your data and your customer satisfaction is very important to us. We will therefore not sell your data or pass it on to third parties for other purposes. We only transfer your data to our service providers if this is necessary for the use of our website. A transfer to third countries outside the European Union only takes place if stated in this Privacy Policy.

IV. Newsletter
After registering for our newsletter, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration (so-called double opt-in). This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with other people's e-mail addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged to comply with the legal requirements to document the registration process. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time and the IP address used by the user.
The legal basis for the processing within the scope of the newsletter is your voluntary consent, art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can easily revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future and unsubscribe from our newsletter. For this purpose, we send a link to unsubscribe in each newsletter. In addition, you can revoke your consent at any time via the aforementioned contact details. As far as the processing of the data is also necessary to deliver the ordered newsletter or to fulfil our legal obligations, the processing is also based on art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b), c), f) GDPR.
We use the services of HubSpot Germany GmbH, Am Postbahnhof 17, 10243 Berlin, a subsidiary of HubSpot, Inc., 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA ("HubSpot") for the administration and distribution of our newsletter. These services enable us to organise and analyse the newsletter dispatched. HubSpot processes the data on our behalf. We have concluded a data processing agreement with HubSpot.
We store the data transmitted by you for the purpose of the newsletter on HubSpot’s servers in the EU (currently Ireland and Germany). However, we cannot rule out that the data is also transferred to HubSpot’s servers in the USA. Where HubSpot transfers personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) within and among HubSpot’s affiliates, HubSpot makes use of the Standard Contractual Clauses (which have been approved by the European Commission) as well as additional safeguards where appropriate (such as commercial industry standard secure encryption methods to protect customer data at rest and in transit, TLS for HubSpot hosted sites, web application firewall protection, and other appropriate contractual and organizational measures). More information can be found in HubSpot’s privacy policy linked below.
The functions in the newsletter allow us to analyse, among other things, how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. By so-called conversion tracking, we can also analyse whether a predefined action (e.g. registration for an event) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. The data processing is based on your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
If you do not agree with the processing by HubSpot, you can revoke your consent at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected. Further information on data processing by HubSpot can be found at: https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.
Your data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the intended purpose, especially if you unsubscribe from our newsletter. If the data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the initiation of a contract, a deletion can only take place if it does not violate other contractual or legal obligations. We would like to point out that in some cases we have to store data even after termination of the contract (e.g. due to tax and commercial law retention obligations). The storage periods that apply here are determined individually for the respective contracts and contractual parties.

V. Contact form
On our website you can also contact us via a contact form. This form offers you an easy way to contact us, so you can communicate with us and send us your questions and suggestions.
The data you provide in the contact form will be processed by our employees in order to handle your request. A transfer to other recipients will only take place if it is necessary to answer your request.
Here, we process the data that you voluntarily provide to us as part of the contact form. This includes your contact information as well as your questions and suggestions, i.e. the actual content of your message.
We process this data for the initiation and fulfilment of a contract (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b) GDPR). We also pursue the legitimate interest of processing your requests efficiently and user-friendly (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR). In addition, we are obliged to store data due to commercial and tax regulations (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c) GDPR).
A transfer to third countries outside the European Economic Area is not intended, unless this is necessary for the fulfilment of your request. We delete the data as soon as we are no longer obliged to store it due to commercial and tax regulations.
The use of the contact form is voluntary. You are also welcome to contact us in the other ways mentioned in this Privacy Policy.

VI. Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is an unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which website and servers can identify a specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
When using cookies, it is necessary to differentiate whether they are technical cookies, which are necessary for the functions of our website, or analytical cookies, which are used to better understand the user behaviour and user wishes, so that we can always respond to your wishes to provide you with a user-friendly, secure and smoothly working website in the future.
We only use analytical cookies if you have given your consent voluntarily beforehand, in particular by confirming it in the cookie consent banner. The granting of this consent is voluntary and is not necessary to access our website. If you have given consent, the processing by and in connection with cookies is based on this consent (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR). You can freely revoke the consent at any time using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy.
The use of technical cookies serves our legitimate interest in ensuring the functionality and security of our website (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
Personal data from cookies is only transferred to third parties if and to the extent indicated in this Privacy Policy.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time via your internet browser settings and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via your internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the internet browser, however, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
A transfer to third countries outside the European Economic Area is not intended (with the exception of insofar as we inform about this separately in this Privacy Policy).

VII. Facebook Pixel
If you have given your consent to the use of tracking cookies, we also use the Facebook Pixel to optimize our advertising offering (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR). The social media platform Facebook and its plugins are operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, and Meta Platforms, Inc., located at 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California, 94025, USA, ("Facebook"). You can find more information about these Facebook services under the link https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation. If you use a Facebook user account, this is recognizable for the Facebook pixel on our websites by the Facebook cookie set, via which the collected usage data is transmitted to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. You can check and/or deactivate this data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook directly at Facebook.
The Facebook Pixel is a JavaScript code transmitting the following data to Facebook:

HTTP header information (including IP address, web browser information, page location, document, web page URL and web browser user agent, and day and time of use).
Pixel-specific data; this includes the pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, including your Facebook ID (this data is used to link events to a specific Facebook ad account and associate them with a Facebook user).
Additional information about the visit to our websites, as well as standard and custom data events.
Conclusion of registrations and trial subscriptions
Searched products, call of product information

The aforementioned data processing only concerns users who have an account with Facebook or who have accessed a Facebook partner page (whereby a cookie has been set). The display of advertising on Facebook (partner) pages using the "Custom Audience" service does not affect users who are not members of Facebook. If an assignment of the Facebook ID contained in the Facebook cookie to a Facebook user can be made, Facebook assigns this user to a target group ("Custom Audience") on the basis of the rules defined by us, provided that the rules are relevant. We use the information obtained in this way to present Telekom advertising on Facebook (partner) pages.
When using the Facebook Pixel, we are jointly responsible with Facebook for a part of the processing of that data. Therefore, we have concluded a joint controllership agreement (“Controller Addendum”). More information about this joint controllership, especially the respective areas of responsibility, can be found at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.
If you wish to object to the use of the Facebook pixel, you can set an opt-out cookie with Facebook or deactivate JavaScript in your browser. For more information and the settings options for protecting your privacy for advertising purposes, please refer to Facebook's Privacy Policy, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.

VIII. LinkedIn Insights
If you have given your consent to the use of tracking cookies, we also use LinkedIn Insights to optimize our advertising offering (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR). The social media platform LinkedIn and its plugins are operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA, ("LinkedIn"). You can find more information about these LinkedIn services under the link https://business.linkedin.com/marketing-solutions/insight-tag. If you use a LinkedIn user account, this is recognizable for the LinkedIn Insights Tag on our websites by the LinkedIn cookie set, via which the collected usage data is transmitted to LinkedIn for analysis and marketing purposes. Timestamps and events such as page views are also stored. This enables us to statistically evaluate the use of our website in order to constantly optimize it. We learn, for example, which LinkedIn ad or interaction on LinkedIn brought you to our website. This allows us to better control how our ads are displayed.

When using the LinkedIn Insights Tag, we are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for a part of the processing of that data.

IX. YouTube
We have integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and TV shows, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.
To ensure that you always have control over whether YouTube components are used, they are generally inactive. YouTube components are only activated when you click on the respective button and thereby give your consent to use YouTube components. The corresponding processing of personal data is based on your consent (art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a) GDPR).
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (here: "YouTube"). YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). If and to the extent that data is processed in the USA with the use of YouTube services, we conclude appropriate contractual agreements with Google. Such a transfer is also based on your consent.
If you have activated the YouTube components and access a page on which a YouTube component (YouTube player) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your computer is caused to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google obtain knowledge of which IP address you are using and which video you have played (if you have played one).
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which IP address you are using and which video you have played (if you have played one) when you call up a sub-page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your respective YouTube account.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged into YouTube at the same time as accessing our website. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent this transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.
The Privacy Policy published by YouTube, which is available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
We do not retain any personal data within YouTube.
Personal data is not transferred to other recipients within the framework of YouTube.
