These data are stored anonymously in accordance with the Telemedia Act (TMG). The creation of personal user profiles is thus excluded. These data will be deleted or anonymized after the connection has ended.

Facebook, Twitter, Google+, XING, LinkedIn, Vimeo

On our website you can find links to social media services of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, XING and LinkedIn. Links to the websites of social media services can be identified by the respective company name in the footer (lower section) of this website. If you follow these links, you will reach the corporate image of XIMA MEDIA GmbH at the respective social media service. When clicking on a link to a social media service, a connection is made to the servers of the social media service. The information that you have visited our website will be communicated to the servers of the social media service. In addition, further data will be transmitted to the provider of the social media service. These are for example:

  • Address of the website where the activated link is located
  • Date and time of calling the website or activating the link
  • Information about the browser used and the operating system used
  • IP address

If you are already logged in to the corresponding social media service at the time of activating the link, the provider of the social media service may be able to determine your user name and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data and this information assign to your personal user account within the social media service. You can exclude this possibility of assignment to your personal user account if you log out of your user account before.

The social media servers are located in the US and other countries outside the European Union. The data can therefore also be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to a data protection law which generally does not protect personal data to the same extent as it is in the Member States of the European Union.

Please note that we have no influence on the scope, nature and purpose of the data processing by the provider of the social media service. For more information on the use of your data through the social media services included on our website, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media service.

Vimeo
On the above-mentioned websites, vidoes are provided by the service provider Vimeo after confirmation of the data protection notice. We would like to point out that Vimeo stores the data (e.g., personal information, IP address, etc.) in accordance with the Data Use Policy and uses it for business purposes. We have no influence on the collection of data and its further use by Vimeo. For example, we have no knowledge of the extent to which, where, or for how long the data will be stored, the extent to which Vimeo will comply with existing deletion obligations, what analyses and links will be made with the data, or to whom the data will be passed on.

Information about what data is processed by YouTube and for what purposes it is used can be found in the Vimeo privacy policy.

Use of service providers

XIMA MEDIA GmbH uses service providers for the provision of services and for the processing of your data (among other things for the hosting of your data in a secure data center, so-called order data processing according to § 11 BDSG). The service providers process the data exclusively on the instructions of XIMA MEDIA GmbH and have been obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. All order data processors have been carefully selected and will only have access to your data as far as necessary to provide the services to the extent and for the period required and to the extent that you have consented to the processing and use of the data. All data will be processed exclusively by data centers of our service providers within the European Union.

Data security

We take technical and organizational security measures to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access. In addition to securing the operating environment, we use encryption in some areas (for example online application, customer account, contact form). The information you provide will then be transmitted in encrypted form using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol to prevent misuse of the information by third parties. You can tell by the fact that in the status bar of your browser the lock symbol is closed and the address bar starts with "https".

Information, correction and deletion of your data

Upon request, XIMA MEDIA GmbH will provide you with information about what data is stored about yourself and how it is used. Should your data stored at XIMA MEDIA GmbH be incorrect, XIMA MEDIA GmbH will correct it. In this regard, you can write to XIMA MEDIA GmbH at the above address or contact them in any other way. You have the right to block and delete data stored by XIMA MEDIA GmbH about yourself. If the deletion is contrary to statutory, contractual or tax law or commercial law retention or other statutory reasons, instead of deletion, only the blocking of your data can be made.

Website Analysis/Tracking:

Cookies: We use so-called cookies in some areas of our website, for example, in order to recognize visitor traffic and to design the website accordingly. This allows easier navigation and a high degree of user-friendliness of a website. Cookies also help us identify particularly popular areas of our website. Cookies are small files that are stored on the hard disk of a visitor. They allow information to be kept for a certain period of time and to identify the visitor's computer. For this we use so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies so the use of cookies becomes transparent for you. Important: If you completely exclude the use of cookies, you may not be able to use individual features of our websites. We use the following categories of cookies on our website:

  • essential cookies
  • Performance cookies

Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for you to be able to navigate the website and use its features, such as accessing password-protected areas. Without these cookies, we will not be able to provide you with certain services requested by you. We use essential cookies to uniquely identify registered users so that they will be recognized during their stay and when they visit the site again.

Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for example, which pages they visit the most and whether they receive error messages from websites. These cookies do not collect data that can be used to identify visitors. All information collected through these cookies is anonymous and is intended solely to improve the functionality and service of the website. We therefore use performance cookies to compile statistics on how our website is used and to see how effective our advertising campaigns are.

We use this information to evaluate the use of the web pages for us to compile reports on website activity. If you do not agree with the storage and use of your data, you can disable the storage and use. In this case, an opt-out cookie is deposited in your browser that prevents the service from saving usage data. Deleting your cookies will result in deletion of the opt-out cookie as well.
