In providing our website, we comply with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the Digital Services Act (DSA), and the Telecommunications and Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Personal data is processed in particular based on the following legal grounds:

• Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to fulfill a contract with the data subject or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
• Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, in accordance with applicable EU law or the law of a country where the GDPR is fully or partially applicable.
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the necessary processing of personal data to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided that the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Legitimate interests include, in particular, our business interests, such as the provision of our website, information security, the enforcement of legal claims, and compliance with other legal requirements.

Data Processing and Recipient Categories

In the course of providing services, we engage service providers who are separately committed to confidentiality and data protection. Categories of recipients include IT service providers, web agencies, and external consultants. Disclosure to authorities occurs only in the presence of overriding legal regulations. There is no transfer to third countries.

Collection of Data During Website Visits

When you visit the website, a connection to your browser is established. The following information, collected in the process, is temporarily stored in system files and automatically captured: the IP address of your device, the date and time of access, the name and URL of the retrieved files, the website from which the access was made (referrer URL), the browser used, and, where applicable, the operating system of your device, as well as the name of your service provider.

The aforementioned data is processed by us for the purpose of ensuring smooth connection establishment and system security. The connection data collected is automatically deleted and generally not stored for more than seven days. If the website is misused, log data, the retention of which is necessary for evidence purposes, will be retained until the issue is resolved.

This website uses storage technologies ("cookies" and/or your browser storage) to allow us to track your usage of the website. The information generated by cookies regarding your usage behaviour on this website is used to evaluate how you use the site and your visit behaviour, and to improve our information offerings.

If the use of storage technologies on your device is necessary for the functionality of the website, we use this technology based on our legitimate interests in improving our informational offerings, ensuring the functionality of the website, and ensuring information security. The legal basis for data processing in this case is Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO (legitimate interest) in conjunction with § 25(2)(2) TDDDG.

If cookies are used that are not necessary for the operation of the website, we will ask for your consent in advance. The legal basis for data processing is then Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO in conjunction with § 25(1) TDDDG (consent).

We use the software Matomo to analyse and statistically evaluate the use of our website. These interests are legitimate within the context of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. The generated information about website usage is transferred to our servers and compiled into pseudonymised usage profiles. The information is used to evaluate website usage and to enable the design of our website to meet your needs. The information is not shared with third parties.

Privacy Information for Visitors of Our LinkedIn Profile

We, Intelligent Energy System Services GmbH, Eberhardstraße 65, 70173 Stuttgart, Email: info@ie2s.com, would like to explain below how we process your data on our website. If you have any questions about data protection, our Data Protection Officer is available at intelligentenergysystemservices@dsb-moers.de. Further contact details can be found at www.dsb-moers.de.

We use our LinkedIn presence to provide information about our company, products, and services, as well as to allow users to engage with us directly. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest primarily involves our business interest in sharing information about our company with customers, prospects, applicants, and third parties, as well as being able to interact with them.

If we post images of individuals, this will be done based on consent (Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) or based on a contractual transfer of usage rights (Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR).

We process personal data through our LinkedIn account for the purpose of establishing contact, showcasing our company, and providing information. Our company processes your personal data when you use features such as following, messaging, commenting, and posting. Any transfer of your data to authorities will occur only in the presence of mandatory legal requirements.

When using LinkedIn, every user enters into a direct contractual relationship with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. How LinkedIn processes user data can be found in their privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy. We would like to point out that it is possible that user data may be processed on systems outside the European Union. LinkedIn is committed to adhering to EU data protection standards. Data transfer to systems outside the EU will only take place if the requirements of Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR are met. For more information, please refer to: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62533?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=de 

Use of Page Insights
When a LinkedIn member visits our LinkedIn page, follows it, or interacts with it, LinkedIn processes personal data to provide us with transparent page insights. Specifically, LinkedIn processes data that the member has provided to LinkedIn, such as the country, industry, tenure, company size, and employment status from the member's profile. Additionally, LinkedIn will process information about how a member has interacted with our company page, such as whether the member is a follower.

The data processing is based on our legitimate interest in targeting our company profile to the relevant audience. The conflicting legitimate interests of users (display of individual audience-optimized advertising) do not outweigh our interests.

For these Page Insights, we, together with LinkedIn, are jointly responsible under Article 26 of the GDPR. LinkedIn users are informed about this; the responsibility for data collection primarily lies with LinkedIn. A joint data processing agreement with LinkedIn has been concluded, which can be found here: https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum. 

Your Rights to Access, Rectification, Deletion, Objection, and Data Portability

You have the right to access, rectify, and delete your data at any time. Please feel free to contact us through the channels described above. If you request the deletion of your data, but we are still legally required to retain it, we will restrict access to your data (block it). The same applies if you object to the processing. You can exercise your right to data portability, provided that the technical capabilities are available both on the recipient’s side and on ours.

If your rights need to be asserted directly with LinkedIn, we will forward your request to LinkedIn. For more information on how to exercise your rights as a data subject with LinkedIn, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy.
