2. Use of the Website without registration (cookies, web analysis, retargeting)

I. Server logfiles

(1) The web pages can be visi­ted wit­hout regis­tra­ti­on and, thus, also wit­hout pro­vi­ding per­so­nal data. If the User dis­c­lo­ses per­so­nal data on the web pages, this will occur on a vol­un­t­a­ry basis.

(2) When a User visits our Website, this access is stored in log­files or log ent­ries on the ITscope ser­ver sys­tems in com­pli­ance with legal requi­re­ments. The fol­lo­wing types of data will be collected:

a. Date and time of access to the service;

b. Host name of the acces­sing com­pu­ter (IP address);


c. Referrer URL (the pre­vious­ly visi­ted website);


d. User’s brow­ser type and version;


e. User’s screen resolution;


f. User’s ope­ra­ting system;


g. Pages and fea­tures acces­sed by the User;


h. Search term by which the Website was found, e.g., in Google.

(3) ITscope will use the data refer­red to abo­ve based on the legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests of ITscope within the mea­ning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, name­ly sta­tis­ti­cal ana­ly­sis and to impro­ve the usa­bi­li­ty of the Website. This data will not be lin­ked with per­so­nal data by ITscope its­elf nor on behalf of ITscope by a third par­ty. The gathe­red data will be dele­ted upon the expi­ra­ti­on of a nine­ty (90) days period.

II. Hosting

(1) (1) This Website is hos­ted by an exter­nal ser­vice pro­vi­der (web host). The per­so­nal data coll­ec­ted on this Website is stored on the web host’s ser­vers. This may include, but is not limi­t­ed to, IP addres­ses, cont­act requests, meta and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on data, cont­act details, names, web page acces­ses, and other data gene­ra­ted by a web­site. In order to ensu­re data pro­ces­sing in com­pli­ance with data pro­tec­tion rules and regu­la­ti­ons, we have con­cluded a con­tract for data pro­ces­sing with our web host.

III. Use of cookies

Our Website uses so-called coo­kies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the User’s com­pu­ter when a web­site is cal­led up. Cookies help to make web­sites more com­for­ta­ble, more effi­ci­ent, and safer. Since the­se are text-only files, coo­kies can­not con­tain viru­s­es or other mal­wa­re. Most brow­sers offer the opti­on of dis­play­ing a war­ning befo­re a coo­kie is saved, of refu­sing to accept coo­kies altog­e­ther, and/or of dele­ting exis­ting cookies.

We use coo­kies for dif­fe­rent pur­po­ses and with dif­fe­rent func­tions. We dif­fe­ren­tia­te bet­ween whe­ther the coo­kie is tech­ni­cal­ly essen­ti­al, for exam­p­le, to pro­vi­de the con­ve­ni­ence and per­for­mance of our Website, or whe­ther it was pla­ced by our Website its­elf or by third par­ties to dis­play per­so­na­li­zed con­tent or adver­ti­sing to you. Furthermore, we use sta­tis­ti­cal coo­kies to bet­ter under­stand how visi­tors use our Website, as well as coo­kies for exter­nal media which are blo­cked by default, for exam­p­le to dis­play the con­tent of video platforms.

We use cer­tain coo­kies becau­se they are essen­ti­al for our Website and its func­tion­a­li­ty to work pro­per­ly (“Essential” coo­kies). These coo­kies are pla­ced auto­ma­ti­cal­ly when you access our Website or a cer­tain func­tion, unless you have pre­ven­ted coo­kies from being pla­ced by making the appro­pria­te set­tings in your web browser.

In con­trast, coo­kies that are not abso­lut­e­ly essen­ti­al are pla­ced to dis­play adver­ti­sing (“Marketing”). In order to achie­ve an opti­mum Website design, we use non-essential ana­ly­sis coo­kies (“Statistics”). In order to ensu­re that con­tent from video and social media plat­forms is ful­ly acces­si­ble, we also place coo­kies that are non-essential (“exter­nal media”).

In order to make it easier for you to hand­le coo­kies on our Website, we have imple­men­ted the exten­ded coo­kie ban­ner “Borlabs Cookie” crea­ted by Borlabs. The coo­kies requi­red for the func­tion­a­li­ty of the web pages and the ser­vices offe­red are pre-set. Data pro­ces­sing is the­r­e­fo­re car­ri­ed out to safe­guard our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the pro­vi­si­on and main­ten­an­ce of our online offer.

By unche­cking the box, you can pre­vent the pla­cing of coo­kies in the cor­re­spon­ding cate­go­ry (e.g., “Marketing”). However, if you allow us to use per­so­na­li­sed adver­ti­sing (reco­gni­ti­on of your page views on our site and tho­se of adver­ti­sing part­ners or social media pro­vi­ders such as LinkedIn), we can con­ti­nue to pro­vi­de you with per­so­na­li­zed infor­ma­ti­on as befo­re, remind you of con­tent you have alre­a­dy view­ed and opti­mi­ze our web pages based on an anony­mous ana­ly­sis of your user beha­viour on our web pages and in our ser­vices and platforms.

This means, we use Borlabs coo­kies to give you a quick over­view of the coo­kies used on the Website and to allow you to make your own set­tings with regard to the pla­cing and use of coo­kies. Further infor­ma­ti­on about the Borlabs coo­kie, and the Borlabs pri­va­cy policy can be found at the fol­lo­wing link: https://​de​.borlabs​.io/​d​a​t​e​n​s​c​h​u​tz/. For fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on the cate­go­ries and the neces­sa­ry set­tings plea­se refer to the coo­kie ban­ner on our Website.

For detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on on the type, scope, pur­po­ses and legal basis of data pro­ces­sing with coo­kies, plea­se refer to the fol­lo­wing descrip­ti­ons of the indi­vi­du­al func­tions based on the use of coo­kies. Details on the with­dra­wal of con­sent and your right to object to data pro­ces­sing using coo­kies, plea­se refer to the fol­lo­wing para­graph VIII.

IV. Statistics

ITscope uses the fol­lo­wing ser­vices for web ana­ly­sis and remar­ke­ting as well as their coo­kies (“Services”) on its Website:

(1) Google Analytics 

This Website uses Google Analytics, a ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to ana­ly­se and impro­ve our Platform based on your user beha­viour. Your IP address is shor­ten­ed befo­re the eva­lua­ti­on of the usa­ge sta­tis­tics so no con­clu­si­ons can be drawn about your iden­ti­ty. Cookies, i.e., text files that are stored on the User’s com­pu­ter and allow an ana­ly­sis of how a User uses a par­ti­cu­lar web­site are used for the­se Services. The infor­ma­ti­on gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie about the use of the Website or Platform will be trans­mit­ted to the ser­vers of the ana­ly­ti­cal ser­vices in the U.S. and stored the­re. The sto­rage of Google Analytics coo­kies and the use of this ana­ly­tics tool are based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (Consent). For fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on how to mana­ge your con­sent plea­se refer to the fol­lo­wing para­graph VIII.

The User’s IP addres­ses are anony­mi­zed using “anonymizeIp()” or through com­pa­ra­ble tech­ni­cal means, or only used to retrie­ve geo­da­ta and not stored by the Services for any other pur­po­se so that it is not pos­si­ble to asso­cia­te them with an inter­net access point or a User. According to Google, Google will not mer­ge the IP address of the User with other Google data.

The Services will use the coll­ec­ted infor­ma­ti­on to ana­ly­ze the use of the Website, to com­pi­le reports on Website acti­vi­ties, and to pro­vi­de ITscope with other ser­vices in con­nec­tion with the Website used. This infor­ma­ti­on may also be trans­mit­ted to third par­ties if this is requi­red by law or if third par­ties pro­cess this data on behalf of the Services.

We have con­cluded a data pro­ces­sing con­tract with Google and ful­ly imple­ment the strict requi­re­ments of the German data pro­tec­tion aut­ho­ri­ties when using Google Analytics. User and event-level data stored by Google, which is lin­ked to coo­kies, user IDs (e.g., User ID) or adver­ti­sing IDs (e.g., DoubleClick coo­kies, Android adver­ti­sing ID), is anony­mi­zed or dele­ted after 14 months. Please click on the fol­lo­wing link for details: https://​sup​port​.goog​le​.com/​a​n​a​l​y​t​i​c​s​/​a​n​s​w​e​r​/​7​6​6​7​1​9​6​?​h​l​=de

The pri­va­cy policy can be retrie­ved from https://​poli​ci​es​.goog​le​.com/​?​h​l​=de.

V. Advertising

The fol­lo­wing ser­vices pro­cess your data based on your con­sent (pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). For fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on how to mana­ge your con­sent plea­se refer to the fol­lo­wing para­graph VII.

(1) Google Analytics Remarketing

This Website also uses Google Analytics Remarketing in con­junc­tion with the cross-device fea­tures of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The pro­vi­der is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This fea­ture allows us to link the adver­ti­sing audi­en­ces crea­ted with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capa­bi­li­ties of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-based, per­so­na­li­zed adver­ti­sing mes­sa­ges that have been cus­to­mi­zed for you based on your past usa­ge and brow­sing habits on one device (e.g., mobi­le pho­ne) can be dis­play­ed on ano­ther of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC). If you have gran­ted your con­sent, Google will con­nect your web and app brow­sing histo­ry with your Google Account for this pur­po­se. This way, the same per­so­na­li­zed adver­ti­sing mes­sa­ges to be dis­play­ed on any device on which you log into your Google Account. To sup­port this fea­ture, Google Analytics coll­ects Google-authenticated user IDs that are tem­po­r­a­ri­ly lin­ked to our Google Analytics data to help us defi­ne and crea­te audi­en­ces for cross-device adver­ti­sing. You may opt-out of cross-device remarketing/targeting per­ma­nent­ly by dis­ab­ling per­so­na­li­zed adver­ti­sing; just click on the fol­lo­wing link: https://​adsset​tings​.goog​le​.com.

(2) Google Ads und Google Conversion Tracking

This Website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online adver­ti­sing pro­gram of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as con­ver­si­on track­ing. When you click on an ad pla­ced by Google, a con­ver­si­on track­ing coo­kie is pla­ced. Cookies are small text files that the web brow­ser places on the user’s com­pu­ter. These coo­kies expi­re within 30 days and are not used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy Users. If the User visits cer­tain pages of this Website and the coo­kie has not expi­red, Google and we may reco­gni­ze that the User cli­cked on the ad and was redi­rec­ted to this page.

Each Google Ads cus­to­mer recei­ves a uni­que coo­kie. The coo­kies can­not be tra­cked on the web­sites of Google Ads cus­to­mers. The infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted through the con­ver­si­on coo­kie is used to com­pi­le con­ver­si­on sta­tis­tics for Google Ads cus­to­mers who have opted-in to con­ver­si­on track­ing. Customers are told the total num­ber of users who cli­cked on their ad and were redi­rec­ted to a page with a con­ver­si­on track­ing tag. However, they do not recei­ve infor­ma­ti­on that per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fies users. If you do not wish to be tra­cked, you can easi­ly opt-out of this ser­vice by dis­ab­ling the Google Conversion Tracking coo­kie in the user pre­fe­ren­ces of your web brow­ser. You will then not be included in the con­ver­si­on track­ing statistics.

(3) Google Fonts

We use fonts from Google Fonts on our web­site. To ensu­re data pro­tec­tion, we have stored the fonts local­ly on our ser­ver. This means that the­re is no con­nec­tion to Google’s ser­vers and no per­so­nal data such as your IP address is trans­mit­ted to Google. The use of Google Fonts ser­ves the uni­form and appe­al­ing pre­sen­ta­ti­on of our web­site. The legal basis is our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest pur­su­ant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Through local inte­gra­ti­on, we ensu­re that your per­so­nal data is not pro­ces­sed in this context.

(4) LinkedIn Insight Tag 

On our web pages we use the so-called Insight Tag of the LinkedIn social net­work. This is offe­red by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S. (her­ein­af­ter “LinkedIn”). The LinkedIn Insight tag is a small JavaScript code snip­pet that we have added to our Website.

The LinkedIn Insight tag allows us to coll­ect infor­ma­ti­on abo
ut visits to our Website, inclu­ding URL, refer­rer URL, IP address, device and brow­ser cha­rac­te­ristics, timestamps, and page views. This data is encrypt­ed, anony­mi­zed within seven days, and the anony­mi­zed data is dele­ted within 90 days. This tech­no­lo­gy allows us to gene­ra­te reports on the per­for­mance of our adver­ti­se­ments and infor­ma­ti­on on web­site inter­ac­tion. To do this, the LinkedIn Insight tag is embedded in this Website, which con­nects to the LinkedIn ser­ver when you visit this Website while you are log­ged into your LinkedIn account.


The LinkedIn Insight tag is used for the pur­po­se of pro­vi­ding detail­ed cam­paign report­ing and infor­ma­ti­on about visi­tors to our Website. We use the LinkedIn Insight tag to track con­ver­si­ons, retar­get our Website visi­tors, and gather addi­tio­nal infor­ma­ti­on about the LinkedIn mem­bers who view our ads. For details about data coll­ec­tion (pur­po­se, scope, fur­ther pro­ces­sing, use) and your rights and pre­fe­ren­ces, plea­se refer to the LinkedIn pri­va­cy policy. LinkedIn pro­vi­des this docu­ment at
https://​www​.lin​ke​din​.com/​l​e​g​a​l​/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​-​p​o​l​icy.

You can disable the LinkedIn Insight tool and interest-based adver­ti­sing by opting out at
https://​www​.lin​ke​din​.com/​p​s​e​t​t​i​n​g​s​/​g​u​e​s​t​-​c​o​n​t​r​o​l​s​/​r​e​t​a​r​g​e​t​i​n​g​-​o​p​t​-​out.

(5) HubSpot

(2) HubSpot is an inte­gra­ted soft­ware solu­ti­on that we use to cover seve­ral aspects of our online mar­ke­ting, including:

(3) Email mar­ke­ting, social media publi­shing & report­ing, report­ing, cont­act manage­ment (e.g., user seg­men­ta­ti­on and CRM), and landing pages. In addi­ti­on, we use HubSpot for pro­vi­ding cont­act forms. For fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on plea­se refer to sec­tion 3 (III) “Forms”.

(4) For fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on the topics abo­ve, plea­se refer to the rele­vant expl­ana­ti­ons regar­ding the spe­ci­fic online mar­ke­ting acti­vi­ties for which we her­eby pro­vi­de fur­ther addi­tio­nal information:

(5) We use the gathe­red infor­ma­ti­on only for the pur­po­se of opti­mi­zing our mar­ke­ting and adver­ti­sing activities.

As part of the opti­miza­ti­on of our mar­ke­ting and adver­ti­sing acti­vi­ties, the fol­lo­wing data may be gathe­red and pro­ces­sed via HubSpot:

a) geo­gra­phic position

b) brow­ser type

c) domain names

d) view­ed pages

e) ope­ra­ting sys­tem version

f) inter­net ser­vice provider

g) IP address

h) device ID

(7) Whenever we request your con­sent to cer­tain online mar­ke­ting acti­vi­ties, your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing is requi­red pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. To the ext­ent data is pro­ces­sed for the pur­po­se of per­forming a con­tract that we ente­red with you, this is sub­ject to Art. 6 (1) (b) the GDPR. Otherwise, data pro­ces­sing is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, pur­su­ant to which the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is also per­mis­si­ble wit­hout the con­sent from the data sub­ject, whe­re such pro­ces­sing is requi­red for the pur­po­ses of the legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests pur­sued by the con­trol­ler or a third part, except whe­re such inte­rests are over­ridden by the inte­rests or fun­da­men­tal rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject, which requi­re pro­tec­tion of per­so­nal data. In this regard, we rely on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in direct adver­ti­sing pur­su­ant to reci­tal 47 of the German GDPR ver­si­on. Our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest is based on the fact that spe­ci­fic online mar­ke­ting acti­vi­ties allow us to ensu­re the effi­ci­en­cy of the cam­paigns crea­ted by us und an effec­ti­ve use of the allo­ca­ted funds. Furthermore, you will only recei­ve such adver­ti­sing that is poten­ti­al­ly rele­vant and inte­res­t­ing to you.

(9) In con­nec­tion with the pro­ces­sing of data via HubSpot, data may be trans­mit­ted to the United States. The secu­ri­ty of the trans­mis­si­on is war­ran­ted by the so-called Standard Contract Clauses which ensu­re that a level of secu­ri­ty is appli­ed during the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data that equ­als the GDPR standard.

VI. External media

(1) Google Maps

In our Website we use Google Maps (API), a ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web ser­vice for dis­play­ing inter­ac­ti­ve maps that allows us to visua­li­ze geo­gra­phi­cal information.

As soon as you access tho­se web pages in which maps pro­vi­ded by Google Maps have been embedded, infor­ma­ti­on on your use of our Website is trans­mit­ted to Google ser­vers in the United States and stored the­re­on, inclu­ding, but not limi­t­ed to your IP address. This trans­mis­si­on will take place irre­spec­ti­ve of the fact whe­ther you have a Google account or are log­ged in to that account, or whe­ther you do not have a user account. When you are log­ged in to your Google account, your data may be direct­ly matched with your account.

(2) Embedding of YouTube videos

We have embedded YouTube vide­os in our Website that are hos­ted by YouTube, but may be play­ed direct­ly on our Website. YouTube is a ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google“). By default, this ser­vice is deac­ti­va­ted, but may be acti­va­ted by the user. When you access any page within our Website that includes a YouTube video, gene­ral basic data such as your IP address may be trans­mit­ted to Google by the embed­ding tech­no­lo­gy. Google pro­ces­ses the IP address of the user(s), sin­ce it is unable to send the con­tents to their brow­sers, unless the IP address is known. When you give your con­sent to this data trans­mis­si­on to Google, Google’s use of such data is bey­ond our sphe­re of con­trol. For exam­p­le, Google may use pixel tags for sta­tis­ti­cal or mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses. Pixel tags enable Google to ana­ly­ze infor­ma­ti­on such as the visi­tor traf­fic on this Website and its indi­vi­du­al pages. Furthermore, pseud­ony­mi­zed infor­ma­ti­on may also be stored in coo­kies on the user’s device and, among others, include tech­ni­cal infor­ma­ti­on on the brow­ser and ope­ra­ting sys­tem, on refer­ring web­sites, on the time of the visit, and other details on the use of our online offe­ring. YouTube may store your data in the form of usa­ge pro­files and use it for the pur­po­ses of adver­ti­sing, mar­ket rese­arch, and/or the needs-based design of its ser­vices. If you do not wish the gathe­red and trans­mit­ted data to be matched with your YouTube or Google pro­fi­le, you need to log out of your account pri­or to vie­w­ing the video. The embed­ding of the YouTube ser­vices in our Website is per­mis­si­ble based on your con­sent pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR which you may give in our coo­kie banners.

(3) Google Tag Manager

We have imple­men­ted Google Analytics (Universal) via the so-called “Google Tag Manager”. The Google Tag Manager is also a Google pro­duct that allows us to mana­ge web­site tags on a user inter­face. The Tag Manager is a cookie-free domain and does not coll­ect any per­so­nal data. The tool trig­gers other tags, which in turn may coll­ect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If coo­kies were dis­ab­led at the domain or coo­kie level, this will affect all track­ing tags imple­men­ted with Google Tag Manager. You can find more infor­ma­ti­on about hand­ling user data here: https://​mar​ke​ting​plat​form​.goog​le​.com/​a​b​o​u​t​/​a​n​a​l​y​t​i​c​s​/​t​a​g​-​m​a​n​a​g​e​r​/​u​s​e​-​p​o​l​i​cy/

VII. Social Media Plugins

We do not use any social media plug­ins for data pro­tec­tion reasons. The Website has been lin­ked to our accounts in social net­works such as Xing, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook. When you click on the embedded icons, you will be redi­rec­ted to the page of the respec­ti­ve pro­vi­der, i.e., your user data will not be trans­fer­red to the respec­ti­ve pro­vi­der, unless you click on the respec­ti­ve icon. If you are log­ged into your user pro­fi­le within the cor­re­spon­ding social net­work, your user pro­fi­le will be asso­cia­ted with the visit of our Website when you click on the icon. If you do not want social net­works to coll­ect data about this Website, you should log out of the social net­works befo­re you visit the Website.

VIII. Note on data processing, withdrawal of opt-in, opt-out option

The User may pre­vent the sto­ring of coo­kies by making the appro­pria­te set­tings in its brow­ser soft­ware; howe­ver, plea­se note, that in this case you may not be able to use the full func­tion­a­li­ty of the Website or Platform.

How to with­draw a con­sent gran­ted (opt-in):

If you have gran­ted your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of your data for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses, for sta­tis­ti­cal ana­ly­ses, or for the use of exter­nal media and wish to with­draw this con­sent, plea­se fol­low the fol­lo­wing but­ton.

3. Special features of our Website

In addi­ti­on to the infor­ma­tio­nal con­tent on our Website, we also offer various ser­vices or fea­tures which you can use if you are inte­res­ted. For this pur­po­se, you will gene­ral­ly have to pro­vi­de addi­tio­nal per­so­nal data, which we use to pro­vi­de the respec­ti­ve ser­vice or fea­ture as descri­bed below.

I. Online job application

We offer every visi­tor of our Website the pos­si­bi­li­ty to app­ly for a job via an online job appli­ca­ti­on form. Alternatively, you may sub­mit your job appli­ca­ti­on by email. For fur­ther details on the job appli­ca­ti­on pro­cess plea­se refer to our hyper­lin­ked pri­va­cy state­ment for job appli­cants.

Processing of per­so­nal data during the job appli­ca­ti­on process

It is a pre­re­qui­si­te of the job appli­ca­ti­on pro­cess that job appli­cants pro­vi­de per­so­nal data and details to us. These include, but are not limi­t­ed to: Name(s) and fami­ly name, cont­act details (email, tele­pho­ne) as well as the cover let­ter and anne­xes (CV, cer­ti­fi­ca­tes, etc.). Furthermore, job appli­cants can pro­vi­de us with addi­tio­nal infor­ma­ti­on on a vol­un­t­a­ry basis.


Insofar as spe­cial cate­go­ries of per­so­nal data within the mea­ning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are vol­un­t­a­ri­ly shared during the job appli­ca­ti­on pro­cess, their pro­ces­sing is also sub­ject to Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR (e.g., health data, such as sever­ely dis­ab­led sta­tus or eth­nic origin).


All inco­ming job appli­ca­ti­ons are hand­led con­fi­den­ti­al­ly and only by a small defi­ned group of HR employees and the rele­vant par­ties invol­ved in the job appli­ca­ti­on pro­cess. The data will not be dis­c­lo­sed to third parties.

Purpose, legal basis, and sto­rage period

We pro­cess a candidate’s data only for the pur­po­se and within the scope of the job appli­ca­ti­on pro­ce­du­re in accordance with the legal requi­re­ments. Candidate data is pro­ces­sed for the pur­po­se of ful­fil­ling our (pre-)contractual obli­ga­ti­ons within the scope of the job appli­ca­ti­on pro­ce­du­re in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (in Germany sec­tion 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) appli­es addi­tio­nal­ly). In the event of a suc­cessful job appli­ca­ti­on, the data pro­vi­ded by the can­di­da­tes may be pro­ces­sed by us for the pur­po­ses of the employ­ment rela­ti­onship. If the appli­ca­ti­on for a job offer is not suc­cessful, the appli­cants’ data will be dele­ted. In the event that the data should still be nee­ded for the enforce­ment of legal rights after the appli­ca­ti­on pro­ce­du­re has been com­ple­ted, fur­ther data pro­ces­sing may be car­ri­ed out based on the requi­re­ments of Art. 6 GDPR, inclu­ding, but not limi­t­ed to the safe­guar­ding of legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest then con­sists in the asser­ti­on or defence of claims. Deletion shall take place no later than within 180 days.

Talent pool

In some cases, we invi­te can­di­da­tes to join our talent pool. Admission is only gran­ted on the basis of the appli­can­t’s con­sent within the mea­ning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. All can­di­da­tes admit­ted to the talent pool are stored per­ma­nent­ly and for the pur­po­se of fil­ling a poten­ti­al vacan­cy. Data will only be dele­ted by ITscope upon request by the indi­vi­du­al con­cer­ned or if the candidate’s pro­fi­le does not match the vacan­cy at a later date. The dele­ti­on can be reques­ted by email to jobs@itscope.de wit­hout sta­ting reasons.

Notes on the job appli­ca­ti­on form

If available, job appli­cants can send us their job appli­ca­ti­ons using an online form on our Website. Their data will be encrypt­ed and trans­mit­ted to us using state-of-the art pro­ce­du­res. We use soft­ware crea­ted by Personio (Personio GmbH, Buttermelcherstr. 16, 80469 Munich, Germany
) to trans­mit job appli­ca­ti­ons via the online form. The Personio pri­va­cy policy can be retrie­ved from https://​www​.per​so​nio​.com/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​-​p​o​l​i​cy/

Note on email job applications

When app­ly­ing by email, plea­se note that emails are gene­ral­ly not sent in encrypt­ed form and that the job appli­cants them­sel­ves must ensu­re that they are encrypt­ed. We can, the­r­e­fo­re, not accept any respon­si­bi­li­ty for the trans­mis­si­on path of the job appli­ca­ti­on bet­ween the sen­der and the inbox of our ser­ver and the­r­e­fo­re recom­mend our job appli­ca­ti­on form. Personio soft­ware is also used to pro­cess the email appli­ca­ti­on to faci­li­ta­te this process.

Withdrawal and dele­ti­on of job application

Applicants can demand the dele­ti­on of their data at any time wit­hout giving any details. In addi­ti­on, pre­vious­ly gran­ted con­sent (e.g., talent pool) may be with­drawn with effect for the future. The request for dele­ti­on or with­dra­wal must be emai­led to
jobs@itscope.de. The stored data of the appli­cant will be dele­ted imme­dia­te­ly, unless the­re is are legal grounds which jus­ti­fy their sto­rage (e.g., an exis­ting employ­ment rela­ti­onship). In this case, the data will be dele­ted after the expi­ra­ti­on of the appli­ca­ble reten­ti­on period.

II. Chatbot

On sel­ec­ted pages, we have inte­gra­ted the chat­bot “Chatflow” from HubSpot (HubSpot, 2nd Floor North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland) for com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on with you. Interacting with the chat­bot is vol­un­t­a­ry. When using the chat­bot, your IP address will be trans­mit­ted to HubSpot. You alo­ne deci­de which per­so­nal data you dis­c­lo­se during the chat. Should you choo­se to pro­vi­de per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on (such as your email address), this data will be trans­fer­red to the USA and stored on HubSpot’s ser­vers there.

We use a cloud-based ser­vice from HubSpot, head­quar­te­red in the USA, for mana­ging cus­to­mer data and cont­acts. The pro­ces­sing and sto­rage of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, pro­vi­ded your inquiry is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry to take pre-contractual mea­su­res. In all other cases, pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in effi­ci­ent­ly hand­ling inqui­ries direc­ted to us, quick­ly addres­sing user requests, and impro­ving cus­to­mer rela­ti­onship manage­ment (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your con­sent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested.For more infor­ma­ti­on on the use of HubSpot, plea­se refer to Section V. (4) above.

III. Contact forms, request by email and telephone

If you send us inqui­ries via the cont­act form, your details from the cont­act form, inclu­ding the cont­act data you pro­vi­de the­r­ein, will be stored by us for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up ques­ti­ons. We will not pass on this data wit­hout your con­sent. The same appli­es to inqui­ries recei­ved by email or telephone.

This data is pro­ces­sed based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, if your request is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry for per­forming pre-contractual tasks. In all other cases, pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the inqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), or on your con­sent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), pro­vi­ded that it had been obtained.


The data you enter in the cont­act form will remain with us until you request us to dele­te it, with­draw your con­sent to sto­rage, or the pur­po­se for which the data had been stored no lon­ger appli­es (e.g., after your request has been ful­ly pro­ces­sed). Mandatory legal pro­vi­si­ons – inclu­ding, but not limi­t­ed to reten­ti­on peri­ods – remain unaffected.

IV. Newsletter

Subscribing to our news­let­ter via the Website is based on your con­sent within the mea­ning of Art 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The User agrees to data sto­rage for the pur­po­se of estab­li­shing cont­act. He or she will be regu­lar­ly infor­med about pro­ducts, ser­vices, and inno­va­tions regar­ding the ITscope Platform. The regis­tra­ti­on pro­ce­du­re uses a so-called double-opt-in, i.e., fol­lo­wing your regis­tra­ti­on you will recei­ve an email asking you to con­firm your regis­tra­ti­on in order to pre­vent any abu­se of your email account. We will record the accounts that regis­ter for our mai­lings in order to show that the regis­tra­ti­on pro­ce­du­re com­pli­es with the sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons and, if appli­ca­ble, to pre­vent or inves­ti­ga­te any abu­se of your per­so­nal data. The cont­act data pro­vi­ded will be stored until the User with­draws its con­sent. The User can decla­re its with­dra­wal of con­sent via the “unsub­scri­be link” in the news­let­ters or send a short mes­sa­ge to marketing@itscope.com.

4. Data processing during Platform use

  1. ITscope coll­ects per­so­nal data of the User (inclu­ding, but not limi­t­ed to the name and busi­ness cont­act data) when the User regis­ters on this Platform or is regis­tered by a third par­ty, e.g., if the employ­er of a User crea­tes an account for it on the Platform. If requi­red by data pro­tec­tion law, rules, and regu­la­ti­ons, the cus­to­mer assu­res to have obtai­ned the pri­or con­sent of its employees and to have infor­med them accor­din­gly. With regard to its employees, the cus­to­mer shall ensu­re that ITscope may pro­cess and use the cont­act data coll­ec­ted for the con­trac­tu­al pur­po­ses descri­bed her­ein and, if neces­sa­ry, may cont­act the employees (e.g., in con­nec­tion with a sup­port ticket).
  2. During the regis­tra­ti­on pro­cess, ITscope will request the fol­lo­wing man­da­to­ry infor­ma­ti­on that is mark­ed with an aste­risk (*): fami­ly name, first name, email address, com­pa­ny, for new­ly regis­tered com­pa­nies also the full pos­tal address of the com­pa­ny, and a pho­ne num­ber. Registration wit­hout this man­da­to­ry data is not per­mis­si­ble. During the regis­tra­ti­on pro­cess the User may also pro­vi­de addi­tio­nal data on a vol­un­t­a­ry basis, such as on its posi­ti­on within the com­pa­ny and other cont­act data. This infor­ma­ti­on is not a pre­re­qui­si­te for registration.
  3. ITscope will pro­cess and use the per­so­nal data of cus­to­mers and Users for con­tract per­for­mance and cus­to­mer sup­port (e.g., pro­vi­si­on of sup­port ser­vices and user sup­port) based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. ITscope will inform Users by email about new and simi­lar pro­ducts and ser­vices as well as spe­cial offers from ITscope that might be of inte­rest to the User in the form of a peri­odic news­let­ter. The User has the right to object to the use of its email address for such mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses by noti­fy­ing ITscope hereof at any time (e.g., by unsub­scrib­ing from a news­let­ter by acti­vat­ing a link at the end of each news­let­ter) wit­hout incur­ring any costs.
  4. ITscope will neither use the User’s per­so­nal data for other adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses nor pass it on to third par­ties, unless,
    a) the User express­ly grants its con­sent to the use of its data for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses and/or dis­clo­sure to third par­ties; the User may with­draw its con­sent at any time; or
    b) ITscope is obli­ga­ted to pass on data by law, e.g., to inves­ti­ga­ti­ve authorities.
  5. Personal data that the User vol­un­t­a­ri­ly pro­vi­des on the Platform via the pre­sen­ta­ti­on and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on fea­tures pro­vi­ded may be dele­ted by the User at any time during the exis­ting con­trac­tu­al rela­ti­onship. In addi­ti­on, per­so­nal user data (inclu­ding the User’s log­in data for sup­pli­er sys­tems stored on the Platform, cf. Art. 4) will be dele­ted from all sys­tems or their pro­ces­sing will be rest­ric­ted no later than three (3) months after ter­mi­na­ti­on of the con­trac­tu­al rela­ti­onship with ITscope. This can also be done by remo­ving the per­so­nal iden­ti­fiers from texts writ­ten by the User or con­tents uploa­ded to the Platform (e.g., pro­duct reviews and comments).

5. Creation and analysis of user profiles on the Platform

  1. The gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on regar­ding the Website descri­bed in sec­tion 2 (e.g., use of coo­kies and ana­ly­sis ser­vices) shall app­ly to the use of the Platform accordingly.
  2. In addi­ti­on, the access of regis­tered Users to the Platform based on the legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests of ITscope in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR will be log­ged using their user ID and account num­ber and stored for the pur­po­se of enhan­cing the user expe­ri­ence and for sta­tis­ti­cal ana­ly­sis. ITscope has the right to publish ana­ly­sis results in anony­mous or aggre­ga­ted form, i.e., wit­hout refe­rence to indi­vi­du­al cus­to­mers or Users, for infor­ma­ti­on pur­po­ses, for ins­tance on the Website. Beyond this, pro­fi­le data will not be pas­sed on to third par­ties, unless ITscope is obli­ga­ted by law to do so.
  3. The User may disable the com­pi­la­ti­on of per­so­nal user pro­files on the Platform in the user settings.

6. Erasure or deletion of data

  1. Personal data coll­ec­ted via the Website will only be stored by ITscope until the pur­po­se for which it had been trans­mit­ted by the User has been com­ple­te­ly ful­fil­led. This shall also app­ly to per­so­nal data if the User had gran­ted its express con­sent to the coll­ec­tion and pro­ces­sing of this type of per­so­nal data.
  2. The data will not (yet) be dele­ted if it still needs to be retai­ned until the pur­po­se is com­ple­te­ly attai­ned or if the­re are other legi­ti­ma­tes grounds for its reten­ti­on and/or if sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons (e.g., reten­ti­on duties under trade and tax law) pro­hi­bit the era­su­re or dele­ti­on of data. Article 3 (5) abo­ve appli­es to the dele­ti­on of data coll­ec­ted and pro­ces­sed in con­nec­tion with the Platform use.

7. Use of supplier services within the Platform

  1. Suppliers lis­ted on the ITscope Platform may pro­vi­de their own ser­vices on or via the Platform (“Supplier Services”), e.g., for retrie­ving par­ti­cu­lar purcha­se pri­ces or for elec­tro­nic order processing.
  2. User log­in data (in par­ti­cu­lar, pass­words) requi­red for using Supplier Services are elec­tro­ni­cal­ly trans­mit­ted to the sup­pli­ers’ ser­vers as encrypt­ed mes­sa­ges at all times, unless a sup­pli­er fails to offer a secu­re or encrypt­ed con­nec­tion for this purpose.
  3. ITscope uses state-of-the-art, secu­re encryp­ti­on pro­ce­du­res with sepa­ra­te­ly stored keys to pro­tect the User’s log­in data and will decrypt the­se only for the pur­po­se set forth on the Platform, in par­ti­cu­lar, to retrie­ve pri­ces and to trans­mit order docu­ments to the User.
  4. ITscope exclu­si­ve­ly uses its own ser­ver sys­tems for sto­ring such log­in data, which are hos­ted at a data cen­ter cer­ti­fied in accordance with the BSI Grundschutzhandbuch (Basic Protection Manual) and ISO 27001.
  5. ITscope is not respon­si­ble for the coll­ec­tion and pro­ces­sing of User’s per­so­nal data by the sup­pli­er, rather, the cor­re­spon­ding sup­pli­er is the Controller within the mea­ning of the GDPR.

8. Data subject rights

(1) Users affec­ted by data pro­ces­sing (“Data Subjects”) may exer­cise various rights. In par­ti­cu­lar, the­se are:

    • Right to access: The User has the right to access infor­ma­ti­on that ITscope stored about him/her.
    • Right to rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on and era­su­re: The User may request ITscope to rec­ti­fy inac­cu­ra­te data and to era­se its data.
    • Restriction of pro­ces­sing: The User may request ITscope to rest­rict the pro­ces­sing of its data.
    • Data por­ta­bi­li­ty: If the User pro­vi­des data to ITscope under an agree­ment or based on a con­sent, it may demand the pro­vi­si­on of the data sub­mit­ted by it in a struc­tu­red, com­mon, and machine-readable for­mat, or that ITscope trans­mit this infor­ma­ti­on to ano­ther controller.
    • Objection to data pro­ces­sing based on “legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest”: If reasons exist that are based on grounds rela­ting to the User’s par­ti­cu­lar situa­ti­on, the User may object at any time to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data by ITscope, to the ext­ent that the “legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest” is the legal basis for this objec­tion. If the User should exer­cise its right to object, ITscope will dis­con­ti­nue the pro­ces­sing of its data, unless ITscope are able to show that the­re are com­pel­ling reasons that allow the con­tin­ued data pro­ces­sing and over­ri­de the User’s rights.
    • Objection to coo­kies: Furthermore, the User may object to the use of coo­kies at any time.
    • Withdrawal of con­sent: If the User has gran­ted its con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of its data the User may with­draw this con­sent at any time with effect for the future. The legi­ti­ma­cy of pro­ces­sing of its data up to the date of with­dra­wal remains unaffected.
    • Right to lodge com­plaints with the super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty: Furthermore, the User has the right to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty, if it belie­ves the pro­ces­sing of its per­so­nal data to vio­la­te the appli­ca­ble sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons, rules, and regu­la­ti­ons. In this case, the User may cont­act the data pro­tec­tion aut­ho­ri­ty having com­pe­tence at its place of resi­dence or in its coun­try, or the data pro­tec­tion aut­ho­ri­ty having com­pe­tence at the place of busi­ness of ITscope.

The User is only entit­led to the rights descri­bed abo­ve sub­ject to the con­di­ti­on pre­ce­dent that the appli­ca­ble legal requi­re­ments have been com­pli­ed with, inclu­ding tho­se that are not expli­cit­ly men­tio­ned in the abo­ve explanations.

In case of any ques­ti­ons regar­ding the pro­ces­sing of their User data, data sub­ject rights or any con­sent gran­ted, the User may cont­act ITscope free of charge.

(2) If you wish to exer­cise any or all of your rights, plea­se email us at privacy@itscope.com, or wri­te a let­ter to the address indi­ca­ted in sec­tion 1 abo­ve, or give us a call. Please ensu­re that we will be able to iden­ti­fy you wit­hout any doubt.
