II General information on data processing
1 Scope of the processing of personal data
We process personal data of online training platform visitors only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.
2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis for the processing of your personal data. If the legal basis is not stated in the privacy policy, the following applies:
Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on the consent of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR is the legal basis.
In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR is the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR is the legal basis.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3 Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or their processing restricted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The processing or deletion of the data will also be restricted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
III Collection of data when visiting the website
1. log files
When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in log files. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted
- IP address of the requesting computer,
- Date and time of access,
- Name and URL of the retrieved file,
- the website from which access was made (referrer URL)
- browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer,
- Name of your access provider,
- The amount of data retrieved.
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes
- Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the online offer,
- Ensuring convenient use of the online training platform,
- General optimization of the online training platform,
- Evaluation of system security and stability,
- ensuring the security of our information technology systems and for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest of the controller). Our legitimate interest arises from the data collection purposes listed above. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to technically enable access to the online training platform. For this purpose, the IP address of the user (visitor) must remain stored for the duration of the session. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the online training platform website, this is the case when the respective session (i.e. the visit to the website) has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after thirty days at the latest. Data may be stored for longer than this (e.g. for security reasons such as investigating misuse or fraud and for evidence purposes). In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing end device (client).
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.
2. cookies
We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device, they do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.
Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These cookies are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, if you deactivate cookies completely, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website.

Further information on deleting or disabling cookies can be found in the help texts for your browser or on the Internet, for example by searching for "deactivate cookies" or "delete cookies".
Use of cookies
a. Description and scope of data processing
Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's end device. When a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored in the browser environment or on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the accessing browser can be identified even after a page change.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies
- Language settings,
- log-in information.
b. Purpose of the data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website may not be available without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be recognized even after a page change.
We require cookies for the following applications
- Log-in information of the user, if applicable
- to analyze the surfing behavior of the user
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
c. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the use of cookies, which are absolutely necessary for the operation of this website, is a legitimate interest on our part pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. For all other cookie types, we require your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which we obtain from you at the relevant points. Further information on data processing requiring consent can be found in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.
d. Duration of storage, objection and removal options
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted by you at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
3. encryption / security information
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in the browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against manipulation, loss or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in accordance with the state of the art.
E-mails sent over the Internet without additional security measures (encryption) are generally considered insecure. If you communicate with us by e-mail without additional confidentiality protection, we assume that you are aware of this technical circumstance and allow us to reply to you by simple e-mail. However, this does not apply to communication by e-mail, insofar as this concerns special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR.
IV. Communication
Contact form and email communication
There are contact forms on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. At the time the message is sent, the following data is stored in addition to the information entered
- The IP address of the user,
- date and time.
It is also possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. Your data will only be used to process the conversation.
a. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract or the booking of a training event, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
b. Purpose of the data processing
The processing of the personal data from the respective input mask serves us solely to process the establishment of contact and, when creating the user account, to process your training booking. 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.
c. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
d. Possibility of objection and removal
If the legal basis is based on your consent, you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
A declaration of revocation or the amendment, correction and updating of such data can be made in writing, by fax or by e-mail to the Limbach Group SE at datenschutz@limbachgruppe.com.
In this case, all personal data stored in the course of making contact will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements.
V. Use of personal data in systems
Customer database / CRM system
As a so-called processor for our subsidiaries/MVZ companies, we maintain a Group-wide customer database and have concluded contracts with our subsidiaries/MVZ companies in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The customer database is used by our subsidiaries/MVZ companies to implement customer relationship management (hereinafter: CRM) in order to systematically manage relationships and interactions with existing or potential customers. We would also like to link your data provided via the online training platform with our CRM system for use for the following sales purposes, provided that you consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR at the appropriate point during your user registration:
- Registration data from the platform is used to identify or, if necessary, transfer the online training platform user in the CRM;
- User behaviour on the platform (registered for which event, participated in which event, use/download of training materials and videos) will be mapped in the CRM in order to support the invitation process and the implementation of training courses by the sales force of our Group subsidiaries/MVZ laboratory companies and to optimize them for you;
- Employees of the training providers use the aforementioned information in on-site customer meetings with training participants in order to remind them to book an event once they have been invited or to address the topic of the event in a customer meeting after participation, and thus to ask for suggestions and/or criticism.
If you contact us via the online training platform and/or book a training event via this platform, you can give us your consent for the aforementioned CRM data processing before submitting the corresponding process by ticking the corresponding "consent box". The same applies if you subscribe to our newsletter or make use of our download offer.
We process your data in our customer database for as long as you are in regular contact with us, for example because you subscribe to a newsletter or book an event or, if applicable, use the laboratory services of one of our subsidiaries. If there is no longer an active customer relationship, we will store your personal data for a period of 3 years since the last customer contact. Irrespective of this, we will end the linking of your data provided on the online training platform and the CRM evaluation in connection with this as soon as you have revoked your consent and there are no statutory retention obligations to prevent deletion.
VI Integrated services and tools
1. web analysis
a. eTracker
We use the services of etracker GmbH, based in Hamburg, Germany(www.etracker.com), to analyze usage data. We do not use cookies for web analysis by default. If we use analysis and optimization cookies, we will obtain your explicit consent separately in advance (cookie banner). If this is the case and you give your consent, cookies are used to enable a statistical analysis of the reach of this website, to measure the success of our online marketing measures and test procedures, e.g. to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the Internet browser on the user's end device. etracker cookies do not contain any information that enables a user to be identified.
The data generated with etracker is processed and stored by etracker on behalf of the provider of this website exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been independently audited and certified in this respect and has been awarded the ePrivacyseal data protection seal of approval.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f (safeguarding our legitimate interests, taking due account of the interests worthy of protection and the fundamental rights and freedoms of visitors to our website) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our concern in this sense is the optimization of our online offer and our website. Since the privacy of our visitors is important to us, the data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymized or pseudonymized as soon as possible. No other use, merging with other data or disclosure to third parties takes place.
You can object to the data processing described above at any time by clicking on the slider. The objection has no negative consequences. If no slider is displayed, data collection has already been prevented by other blocking measures.
Further information on data protection at etracker can be found here.
2. other services
a. OpenStreetMap and Geoapify
Our website uses OpenStreetMap. You can find more information about OpenStreetMap at https://www.openstreetmap.de
We also use the services of KEPTAGO LTD, N. Nikolaidi & T. Kolokotroni, Onisiforou Center, 2nd floor, 8011 Paphos, Cyprus ("Geoapify") on our website to provide interactive map and location functions.
When you use these functions, your browser transmits data to Geoapify. This includes in particular
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Internet address (URL) called up and request parameters (e.g. coordinates or addresses)
- Location data, if applicable, provided you actively release this data
- technical information required for delivery (e.g. browser type, operating system)
The data is processed for the purpose of displaying geographical information in a user-friendly manner. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). If location data is processed, this is done exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can revoke at any time with effect for the future.
Geoapify processes data predominantly within the European Union and also uses external technical service providers (e.g. content delivery networks) to deliver its services. In this context, data may also be transferred to countries outside the EU in individual cases. In these cases, Geoapify ensures an adequate level of data protection through appropriate guarantees within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR.
Log data that is generated during use is only stored for the technically necessary period and then deleted.
Detailed information can be found in Geoapify's privacy policy:
https://www.geoapify.com/privacy-policy
b. Social media presence
1. links to social media
On our website you will find links to our presences on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram. Only by clicking on the respective link will you leave our website and reach the pages of the respective providers. Please note that the data protection provisions of the respective platform apply from this point onwards.
2. social media presences
We maintain social media presences in order to present our services and communicate with you as a customer or interested party.
User data is also processed outside the European Union, particularly in the USA. This may result in risks for users, for example by making it more difficult to enforce users' rights. We would also like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
The networks and platforms will generally process user data for market research and advertising purposes and create user profiles based on user behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that are intended to correspond to the presumed interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behavior and interests are stored. Data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are registered and logged in to the respective platforms).
The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is our legitimate interest in an effective company presentation and modern communication with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If users are asked by the respective platform providers to consent to data processing (i.e. to give their consent, e.g. by ticking a checkbox or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
With regard to joint data processing, there are agreements with the respective operators of the social networks on joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. These are provided by the platform providers and automatically apply to the use of our social media pages:
- LinkedIn: Page Insights Joint Controller Addendum
- Meta (for Facebook & Instagram): Page Insights Addendum
Please also note the respective data protection guidelines and notices of the providers named below, which can be accessed via the link below, as well as the data processing and opt-out options available there:
In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users' data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

- the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be impaired by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
Where the decision is not based on legal provisions, the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
4. right of appeal to the supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR or another legal basis for the protection of personal data.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

VIII. Cooperation with processors and third parties
If we disclose personal data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) as part of the processing of personal data, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR is required to fulfill the contract with you), you have consented to this, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of an order processing contract, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
1. integration of service providers
We use within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DS-GVO) content or service offers from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or interactive maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
2. web hosting
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.
In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of an order processing contract).
3. data protection websites of third parties
This website may contain hyperlinks to third-party websites. If you follow a hyperlink to one of these websites, please note that we cannot assume any responsibility or guarantee for third-party content or data protection conditions. Please check the applicable data protection conditions before you transmit personal data to these websites. The operators of linked websites are solely responsible for their content. When the link was created, there was no indication that the content of the page to be accessed did not comply with the statutory provisions or was contrary to public decency. We request that you notify us immediately if a third-party site to which we provide a hyperlink does not comply or no longer complies with legal provisions or morality. The license and terms of use of the respective operator of the website apply.
IX. Other information
1. objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
2. change to our data protection regulations
We change our security and data protection measures as required by technical developments or legal changes and adapt the data protection declaration accordingly. Please therefore refer to the latest version.
