diesdas.digital GmbH
Oranienstr. 6
10997 Berlin

2. Processing of log files

When visiting our website, our web server automatically stores standardized information about your device and the browser used in a log file. We process this data to analyze server errors and potential misuse. In detail, this data record consists of

  • Name of the requested website
  • Date and time of the request,
  • Amount of data transferred,
  • Notification of successful retrieval
  • IP address of the requesting device
  • Specific address of the page requested
  • Referrer URL (if applicable)
  • Browser identification string

This data cannot be used to identify you personally. It is analyzed in anonymized form only. Log files are regularly deleted after seven days at the latest. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

2.1 SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” URL prefix and the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.

3. Hosting

We host our website with our contract processors:

Salesforce, Inc.
Salesforce Tower
415 Mission Street
3rd Floor
San Francisco
CA 94105
United States

and

Google Ireland Limited

4. Newsletter

You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website. The newsletter is sent via Buttondown, provided by Buttondown LLC, Seattle, USA—a privacy-friendly provider operating in accordance with the GDPR on our behalf. Buttondown stores the following information:

  • IP address
  • Open and click events
  • Subscriber data (email address, name).

This data is used exclusively to operate the newsletter and is not shared with third parties or used for commercial purposes by Buttondown or Diesdas.

Processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in each email.

We have a data processing agreement with Buttondown under Article 28 GDPR. Since Buttondown is based in the USA, data transfers to third countries occur. Protection is ensured through EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) pursuant to Article 46(2)(c) GDPR. However, as with all US-based services, access by authorities cannot be completely ruled out. We have implemented contractual safeguards to best protect your data.

More information can be found in Buttondown’s privacy policy.

5. Contact via e-mail

If you contact us by email, your inquiry and any resulting personal data (e.g., name, message content) will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request.

This is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to a contract or required for pre-contractual measures. In other cases, it is based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Your data will be retained until you request deletion, withdraw your consent, or the purpose for storage no longer applies. Legal retention obligations remain unaffected.

6. Event Planning

We use lu.ma, provided by Luma, Inc. (USA), for event registration and management.

When registering for an event, lu.ma processes personal data such as:

  • Email address (mandatory)
  • Name (if requested)
  • Technical data (e.g., IP address, browser, usage behavior)

This processing is necessary to manage and run the event (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). lu.ma provides the platform and processes data on our behalf and according to our instructions.

For paid events, Stripe is integrated as the payment processor, and necessary data will be passed to Stripe.

Since lu.ma is based in the USA, data may be transferred outside the EU. Protection is ensured through EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC). However, a residual risk remains that US authorities could access the data without effective legal remedies. We have implemented additional safeguards to protect your data.

7. Use of cookies & tracking tools

We use tracking technologies such as cookies on our website to measure and evaluate our website and to continuously improve our content. For the protection of our users and partners, we can also detect and prevent fraud and security risks.

Cookies are small text files used by websites to simplify and speed up the management of your visit to our website or are necessary to allow you to use and access secure areas of the website.

Depending on where a cookie comes from, we can first distinguish between so-called first-party cookies and third-party cookies:

  • First-party cookies - cookies that are generated and stored locally by the website operator as the controller or by a processor commissioned by the operator. Only the operator has access to these cookies.
  • Third-party cookies - cookies that are generated, set and accessed by third-party providers that are not acting as processors on behalf of the website operator.

Depending on the validity period, a distinction can also be made between so-called transient and persistent cookies:

  • Transient cookies - cookies that are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies.
  • Persistent cookies - cookies that remain stored on your terminal device for a specified period of time after you close the browser.

Depending on their nature and purpose, the user's consent may be required for the use of certain cookies. In this respect, cookies can then be differentiated according to whether the user's consent is mandatory for their use:

  • Consent-free cookies - cookies that are absolutely necessary for the website operator, which has been expressly requested by the subscriber or user, to provide this service ("Absolutely Necessary Cookies").
  • Consent-required cookies - cookies that are used for all purposes other than those mentioned above.

Insofar as your consent is required, we use these very cookies alone if you have given your consent in advance. The legal basis for processing personal data is regularly Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. When you call up our website, we display a so-called "cookie banner" in this regard, in which you can declare your consent to the use of cookies on the website by pressing a button.

We use cookies that are absolutely necessary on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in the legitimate interest of ensuring the functionality of our website. These cookies cannot be disabled via the cookie banner of this website. However, you can generally manage and deactivate these cookies in your browser at any time.

Our website uses Cookiebot, a service provided by Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark, as a consent management platform. Cookiebot helps us obtain, document, and manage your legally required consent for the use of certain cookies and similar technologies.

When you first visit our website, a cookie banner will appear, allowing you to set your individual preferences. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the cookie icon in the bottom left corner of the screen and adjusting your settings in the dialog that appears.

7.1 Use of Google Services for Web Analysis and Advertising

We use the following services by Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Data collected via these services is usually sent to Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Data transfers rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Where applicable, IP anonymization is enabled.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and shortened there. Unless otherwise stated for the individual technologies, the data processing is based on an agreement concluded for the respective technology between jointly responsible parties in accordance with Art. 26 DSGVO. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy.

7.2 Google Analytics

For the purpose of website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Your IP address will not be merged with other Google data. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement by Google.

7.3 Google Ads

For advertising purposes in Google search results as well as on third-party websites, the so-called Google Remarketing Cookie is set when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by collecting and processing data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous CookieID and on the basis of the pages you visit. Any further data processing will only take place if you have activated the "personalised advertising" setting in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing.

For website analysis and event tracking, we measure your subsequent usage behaviour via Google Ads Conversion Tracking if you have reached our website via an advertisement from Google Ads. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or subscribing to a newsletter) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.

7.4 MUX

Our website uses the “Mux” video service provided by Mux, Inc (1182 Market St. Suite 425, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA). Mux is a user experience real-time analysis platform (API, application programming interface) for the creation of videos by developers.

8. Online application

In the course of your online application by e-mail or via Homerun ((Homerun B.V., Amsterdam), we collect and process personal data for the purpose of handling the application process and for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. When you send an application, the following data may be transmitted:

  • First and last name
  • Date of birth
  • Address
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Cover letter
  • CV and certificates
  • Any other voluntarily provided personal data

Your data will initially be processed exclusively for the purpose of implementing and reviewing the application process. The legal basis for this results from Art. 88 (1) DSGVO in conjunction with Section 26 (1) Sentence 1 BDSG. As a rule, we do not require any special categories of personal data (e.g. information about a severe disability) as defined by Art. 9 DSGVO for the application process. However, if you voluntarily provide us with such data, the processing will be carried out on the legal basis of Art. 9 (2) b DSGVO in conjunction with Section 26 (3) BDSG.

If an employment relationship arises between you and us, we will process your data in accordance with Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with. § 26 BDSG in the following for the implementation of the employment relationship with you.

We store your personal data as long as this is necessary for the decision on your application. If you are not hired, your personal data or application documents will be deleted six months after the end of the application process, unless longer storage is legally required or permitted (e.g. for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims for the duration of a legal dispute, travel expense accounting, etc.). Afterwards, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (for example, proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).

If an employment relationship is established following the application process, we will store your data for the duration of the employment relationship with you. However, you will receive further information about the processing of your data in the employment relationship as soon as the employment relationship with us begins.

With the consent of applicants, their personal data will be added to our talent pool in order to consider them for future suitable job opportunities. The data will be stored for a period of 24 months and used exclusively for the purpose of contacting them regarding new career opportunities. After this period, the data will be automatically deleted unless renewed consent for continued storage is provided.

Homerun provides us with the platform and stores the data on our behalf. This means that we remain responsible for your data, and Homerun may only process it according to our instructions.

9. Social media channels

We also promote presences on our website on the social networks listed below.

The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents the automatic establishment of a connection to the respective server of the social network when the website is called up.

This means that you will only be redirected to the service of the respective social network by clicking on the corresponding graphic. After the forwarding, information about you will be collected by the respective network. This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way is processed in the USA.

If you are logged into your user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information to your personal account. If you interact, for example, via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information can also be stored in your personal user account and possibly published.

If you want to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to your user account, you must log out before clicking on the graphic or configure the respective user account accordingly. For more information on the processing of your data, please refer to our social media notices.
