Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of infinity³ professional services GmbH. The use of the web pages of infinity³ professional services GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a person wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the individual concerned.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of an affected individual, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to infinity³ professional services GmbH. Through this Privacy Policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, individuals are informed of their rights by means of this Privacy Policy.
As the data controller, infinity³ professional services GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every affected person is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

- Cookies
The website of infinity³ professional services GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID, which is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain different cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, infinity³ professional services GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookie settings.
Through a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. Cookies allow us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. For example, a user who allows cookies will not need to re-enter their login information each time they visit the website because it is taken care of by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store. The online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may at any time prevent the setting of cookies by our website by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. However, if the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in their Internet browser, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
For the management of cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. You can find details about the functionality of “Real Cookie Banner” at Real Cookie Banner’s Data Processing Overview.
The legal bases for processing personal data in connection with this are Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the management of cookies and similar technologies and the associated consents.
Providing personal data is not required by contract or necessary to enter into a contract. You are not obligated to provide personal data. However, if you do not provide personal data, we cannot manage your consents.
- Collection of General Data and Information
The website of infinity³ professional services GmbH collects a series of general data and information whenever a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, infinity³ professional services GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisements, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in case of a cyberattack. Therefore, infinity³ professional services GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company and ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
- Subscription to Our Newsletter
Users of the infinity³ professional services GmbH website can subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data collected during the newsletter subscription process is indicated in the input form used for this purpose.
infinity³ professional services GmbH regularly informs its customers and business partners about offers via newsletters. To receive the newsletter, individuals must have a valid email address and register for the newsletter service. A confirmation email, following the double opt-in procedure, is sent to verify whether the person who owns the email address has authorized the subscription.
During registration, we store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the device used at the time of subscription, as well as the date and time of registration. This information is necessary to trace any potential misuse of the email address and serves as legal protection for the data controller.
The personal data collected during the newsletter registration is used solely for sending our newsletter. Additionally, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if required for the operation of the service or registration process, such as changes to the newsletter offering or technical updates. The data will not be shared with third parties. Subscriptions to the newsletter can be canceled at any time. Consent for storing personal data for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time using the link provided in each newsletter. Alternatively, users can unsubscribe directly through our website or by other means of contact with the data controller.
- Newsletter Tracking
Newsletters from infinity³ professional services GmbH contain tracking pixels. These miniature graphics, embedded in HTML format emails, allow log file recording and analysis, enabling statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using these pixels, infinity³ professional services GmbH can determine when an email was opened and which links were clicked.
The data collected via tracking pixels in newsletters is stored and analyzed to optimize the newsletter service and better tailor future content to the interests of subscribers. These data will not be shared with third parties. Subscribers may revoke their consent at any time. After revocation, the personal data collected for this purpose will be deleted. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is considered a revocation of consent.

- Privacy Policy on the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
This website integrates Google Analytics, a web analytics service that gathers, collects, and evaluates data on visitors’ behavior. For example, it tracks where users come from (referrers), which subpages are accessed, and how long they stay. This analysis is used primarily to optimize the website and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of online advertising.
Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, Ireland.
For web analysis via Google Analytics, the website uses the add-on “_gat._anonymizeIp”, which anonymizes IP addresses of users in the EU or EEA. The purpose of using Google Analytics is to analyze visitor traffic. The data collected is used to generate reports and provide further services related to website use.
Google Analytics uses cookies (as described earlier) to facilitate the analysis of website usage. Each time a page that includes Google Analytics is accessed, the browser automatically sends data to Google for online analysis, including personal data such as the user’s IP address. Google may transfer this data to third parties.
Users can prevent cookies from being set by adjusting their browser settings, which would also block Google Analytics cookies. Additionally, users can prevent Google Analytics from collecting their data by installing a browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. If the browser add-on is later deactivated or removed, it may need to be reinstalled.
Further details about Google’s privacy policies and terms of use can be found at:

- Privacy Policy on the Use of Google AdWords
The data controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads both in Google’s search engine results and across the Google advertising network. With AdWords, advertisers can set specific keywords so that an ad is only displayed in Google search results when a user searches for a relevant term. Within the Google advertising network, ads are automatically placed on thematically relevant websites based on an algorithm.
Google AdWords is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, Ireland.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based ads on third-party websites and in Google search results, as well as displaying third-party advertisements on our site.
If a user accesses our website via a Google AdWords ad, Google sets a so-called conversion cookie on their system. These cookies, as explained earlier, expire after 30 days and do not identify the user. The conversion cookie allows Google and us to track whether a user completes a transaction, such as making a purchase, after clicking on the ad.
The information collected by the conversion cookie helps Google generate visit statistics for our site, which we use to determine the effectiveness of our AdWords campaigns and optimize future ads. Neither we nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information that could identify users.
Conversion cookies store personal information, such as the pages visited by the user. When a user visits our site, their personal data, including their IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States. Google may transfer this data to third parties.
Users can prevent cookies from being set by adjusting their browser settings, which would also block Google from setting a conversion cookie. Additionally, Google AdWords cookies can be deleted through the browser or other software.
Users can also opt out of interest-based advertising from Google by visiting www.google.de/settings/ads and adjusting their preferences.

LinkedIn is an online social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and establish new ones. With over 400 million registered users in more than 200 countries, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business networking.
LinkedIn Corporation, based in Mountain View, California, USA, operates the platform. For data protection issues outside the U.S., LinkedIn Ireland, located in Dublin, handles matters.
Each time a user accesses our website, which includes LinkedIn components (such as plug-ins), their browser automatically downloads a display of the LinkedIn component. More details about LinkedIn plug-ins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this process, LinkedIn is informed of which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting.
If the user is logged into LinkedIn at the time of their visit, LinkedIn recognizes the specific subpages they access and associates this information with their LinkedIn account. If the user interacts with a LinkedIn button on our site, LinkedIn assigns this information to their personal LinkedIn account and stores the data.
LinkedIn receives information about a user’s visit to our site whenever the user is logged into LinkedIn during their visit, whether or not they interact with the LinkedIn component. To prevent this data transfer, users can log out of their LinkedIn account before visiting our website.
Users can manage email, SMS, and targeted advertising settings, or opt out, via the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also works with partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame, which may set cookies.

- Privacy Policy on the Use of Xing
The data controller has integrated components of Xing on this website. Xing is an online social network that facilitates connecting with existing business contacts and establishing new professional relationships. Users can create personal profiles, while companies can create business profiles or post job opportunities.
Xing is operated by XING SE, located at Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
Each time a user visits a page on this website that includes a Xing component (such as a plug-in), their browser automatically downloads a display of the Xing component. More information about Xing plug-ins can be found at https://dev.xing.com/plugins. Through this process, Xing becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website the user is visiting.
If the user is logged into Xing while visiting our site, Xing can track their activity and associate it with their Xing account. This includes the specific subpages they visit during their time on the site. If the user interacts with a Xing button (such as the “Share” button), Xing links this action to their Xing account and stores the related personal data.
Xing receives this information even if the user does not interact with the Xing component, provided they are logged in to Xing while browsing. If the user wishes to prevent this data transfer, they must log out of their Xing account before visiting our website.
Xing’s privacy policy, available at https://www.xing.com/privacy, provides details about the collection, processing, and use of personal data. Additionally, Xing offers information about the Xing Share button’s data protection at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.
- Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract, such as when processing is required for delivering goods or providing services, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. This also applies to pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires processing personal data, such as tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, personal data may need to be processed to protect vital interests, such as in a medical emergency. In such cases, processing would rely on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing may be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR when it is necessary for the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, as long as these interests are not overridden by the data subject’s rights and freedoms. The European legislator explicitly considered this to be permissible, particularly when the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
- Legitimate Interests in Processing
When the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
- Retention Period of Personal Data
The criterion for determining the retention period of personal data is the applicable legal retention period. After the period expires, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for fulfilling or initiating a contract.
- Legal or Contractual Requirements to Provide Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide
We inform you that the provision of personal data may be partially required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual obligations (e.g., information regarding the contracting party). In some cases, the conclusion of a contract may require the data subject to provide personal data, which we would then process. For example, if our company enters into a contract with a data subject, they are obliged to provide personal data. Failure to provide this data would result in the contract not being concluded.
Before providing personal data, the data subject should consult one of our staff members, who will clarify whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, whether it is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data, and what the consequences of not providing it would be.
- Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
