4. Cookies, Consent Management, Analytics, and Online Marketing
4.1 Cookies and Comparable Technologies
Our website uses cookies and comparable technologies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. Comparable technologies also enable information to be stored on your device or already stored information to be read.
Some of these technologies are technically necessary for the website to function securely and properly. Other technologies serve to analyze website usage, measure the success of our advertising, or display external content.
We use technically necessary cookies and comparable technologies on the basis of Section 25 para. 2 TDDDG. The associated processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, user-friendly, and technically reliable provision of our website.
We only use technically non-necessary cookies and comparable technologies if you have previously consented via our cookie banner. The legal bases are Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the cookie settings accessible on the website. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Information on the specific cookies used, providers, purposes, and storage periods can also be found in the cookie settings of our website.

We use the consent management or cookie banner function provided by Framer on our website.
The provider is:

The cookie banner is used to inform you about the cookies and comparable technologies used, to obtain your consent decision, and to control the activation of services requiring consent according to your choice.
You can accept or reject non-necessary services altogether or – if offered – select them by category. Non-necessary analysis, marketing, and external media services are only activated after you have consented to the respective category.
For the storage and documentation of your choice, technically required information can be stored on or read from your device. This may include your consent decision, the selected categories, the time of selection, and technically required information for assigning the decision.

Further information on data processing by Framer can be found in Framer's privacy policy.
4.3 Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager.
The provider for users within the European Economic Area and Switzerland is:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
Google Tag Manager is a tag management system. It allows us to centrally integrate and manage analysis, advertising, and other website tags. Google Tag Manager itself does not create independent usage profiles. However, it ensures that the services managed through it can be triggered in accordance with our configuration.
When Google Tag Manager is called up, technically necessary connection data can be processed. This includes, in particular, the IP address, browser information, device information, and time of access.
We configure Google Tag Manager so that analysis and marketing services requiring consent are only activated after you have given consent. The legal basis for the technical management of tags is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, uniform, and efficient management of the technologies used on our website.
Insofar as services requiring consent are triggered via Google Tag Manager, the legal basis depends on the respective service and your consent given via the cookie banner.
Data processing by Google in the USA or other countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area cannot be completely ruled out. Further information on third country transfers can be found in Section 2 of this privacy policy.
4.4 Google Consent Mode v2
We use Google Consent Mode v2. Consent Mode is not an independent analytical or advertising service, but a technical function to transmit and respect your consent decision across Google services.
Depending on your selection in the cookie banner, the following consent signals in particular are passed to the Google tags we use:
"analytics_storage" for the storage and processing of data for analytical purposes;
"ad_storage" for the storage and processing of data for advertising purposes;
"ad_user_data" for sending user data related to advertising to Google;
"ad_personalization" for using data for personalized advertising.
Without your consent, the corresponding analytical and marketing tags are blocked and not activated. Only when you have consented to the respective processing are the relevant consent signals updated and the corresponding Google services loaded.
The processing of your consent decision is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in managing the Google services used in compliance with data protection laws.
Any subsequent processing by Google Analytics or Google Ads only takes place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
4.5 Google Analytics 4
We use Google Analytics 4 on our website, a web analytics service provided by:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our website. This allows us, for example, to evaluate which pages are accessed particularly frequently, from which sources visitors arrive at our website, and how visitors interact with our website content.
Google Analytics is only activated if you have consented to the "Analytics" category or a comparable category via our cookie banner.
Within the scope of using Google Analytics, the following data, in particular, may be processed:
Accessed pages and content;
Time and duration of page views;
Clicks and other interactions;
Origin or referrer URL;
Approximate geographical location;
Browser type and version;
Operating system;
Device type and screen resolution;
Language settings;
Technical identifiers and cookie IDs;
IP address;
Events and conversions defined by us.
For accesses from the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, Google states that it only uses the IP address to derive approximate location information and discards it before the data is permanently stored in Google Analytics.
The information generated by Google Analytics can be transferred to Google servers and processed there. Processing in the USA or other third countries cannot be completely ruled out.
Google partly processes the data on our behalf. Where required, we have concluded the applicable terms for data processing with Google.
The legal bases for using Google Analytics are your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
The retention period is determined by the settings we make in Google Analytics as well as by Google's deletion and retention periods. Specific information on cookies and their storage duration can be found in the cookie settings of our website.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the cookie settings of our website.
Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy and the information on data protection in Google Analytics.

We use Google Ads to promote our offers via the Google advertising network and to measure the success of our advertising campaigns.
The provider is:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
On our website, we use in particular Google Ads Conversion Tracking. This allows us to track whether users performed a specific action on our website after clicking on or viewing a Google ad. Such an action can be, for example, calling up a specific page, submitting a contact form, booking an appointment, or clicking on a contact option.
If you reach our website via a Google ad and have consented to processing for marketing purposes, Google can store or read cookies or comparable identifiers on your end device.
In this context, the following data in particular can be processed:
IP address;
Cookie and advertising identifiers;
Information about the ad clicked or viewed;
Pages accessed;
Referrer URL;
Time of access;

Approximate location information.
The data is used to measure the success of our ads, evaluate campaigns, and optimize our advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google and generally cannot directly identify individual visitors through this data.
If we use remarketing functions or personalized advertising, Google can use information about your visit to our website to show you interest-based advertising on other websites or in other Google services. This only happens if you have also consented to the use of your data for personalized advertising.
The legal bases are your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
Processing by Google in the USA or other countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area cannot be ruled out. Further information on the safeguards used by Google for third-country transfers can be found in Google's privacy policy.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the cookie settings of our website.
4.7 Meta Pixel and Meta Ads
We use the Meta Pixel on our website to measure and optimize our advertising on Facebook and Instagram.
The provider for users within the European Union and the European Economic Area is:
Meta Platforms Ireland Limited
Merrion Road
Dublin 4, D04 X2K5
Ireland
The Meta Pixel is a JavaScript code that allows us to track certain actions of visitors on our website. This enables us, in particular, to understand whether users visited our website or performed a specific action after clicking on or viewing an advertisement on Facebook or Instagram.
The tracked actions can include, for example:
Page view;
View of a specific subpage;
Click on a button or contact option;
Submission of a contact form;
Start or completion of an appointment booking;
Other conversion events defined by us.
In doing so, the following data in particular can be processed:
IP address;
Accessed URL;
Referrer URL;
Time of access;
Browser and device information;
Operating system;
Cookie and advertising identifiers;
Information about interactions and conversion events;
If applicable, information from existing Meta cookies.
Meta may associate this information with a Facebook or Instagram account, especially if you are logged into a Meta service during your visit to our website.
We use the information obtained via the Meta Pixel for conversion measurement, campaign optimization, statistical evaluation, and – where covered by your consent – for target group creation and delivering personalized ads.
The Meta Pixel is only activated if you have consented to processing for marketing purposes via our cookie banner.
The legal bases are your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
To the extent we decide jointly with Meta on the collection and transmission of event data to Meta, there is a joint controllership for this processing step pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. The allocation of data protection obligations is governed by the Controller Addendum provided by Meta. In particular, Meta is responsible for handling data subject rights with regard to the data subsequently processed by Meta. However, you can also assert your rights against us.
Any subsequent processing of the data by Meta, in particular the assignment to user accounts, target group creation, and delivery of ads, is carried out under Meta's sole responsibility under data protection law.
Processing of data by Meta Platforms, Inc. in the USA or by other recipients outside the European Union or the European Economic Area cannot be ruled out. Further information can be found in Meta's privacy policy.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the cookie settings of our website.
4.8 LinkedIn Insight Tag and LinkedIn Ads
We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website to measure and optimize our advertising activities on LinkedIn.
The provider is:

IP address;
Accessed URL;
Referrer URL;
Time of page view;
Buttons clicked;
Browser and device information;
Operating system;
Cookie and advertising identifiers;
Information about conversion events defined by us;
If applicable, a pseudonimized LinkedIn member ID.
LinkedIn may associate the data with an existing LinkedIn account, particularly if you are logged into LinkedIn during your visit to our website.
We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag in particular for:
Measuring conversions;
Evaluating and optimizing our LinkedIn ad campaigns;
Creating aggregated statistics;
Analyzing professional and demographic characteristics of our website visitors in aggregated form;
Building target groups for LinkedIn advertising and retargeting, provided your consent covers this.
We compile aggregated evaluations and campaign reports from LinkedIn and do not receive identifiable profiles of individual website visitors.
The LinkedIn Insight Tag is only activated if you have consented to processing for marketing purposes via our cookie banner.
The legal bases are your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
LinkedIn states that it pseudonymizes or de-identifies personal data collected via the Insight Tag after a short period and deletes the corresponding data at the latest after the retention periods defined by LinkedIn. Information on the specific retention period of the LinkedIn cookies used can be found in the cookie settings of our website and in LinkedIn's cookie table.
LinkedIn may also process data in the USA or other countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Further information on the safeguards used and data processing can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the cookie settings of our website.
4.9 Framer Analytics
Additionally, we use the integrated analytics function of Framer.
Framer Analytics is used for the statistical evaluation of basic website metrics, such as the number of page views, the number of daily visitors, frequently visited pages, and the origin of access.
According to Framer, Framer Analytics does not use cookies and does not generate permanent user IDs. To determine daily unique visitors, the IP address and the user agent are processed with a cryptographic value that changes daily. The value used is reset daily, so that a visitor is not permanently recognized across multiple days.
We cannot identify individual visitors based on the evaluations provided by Framer.
The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the data-minimizing statistical analysis and technical optimization of our website.
Further information can be found in Framer's data protection and analytics disclosures.
5. Contacting Us
If you contact us via email, telephone, or other means, we process the personal data you transmit to handle your request and for possible follow-up questions.
This may include, in particular, name, email address, telephone number, company, content of your message, time of contact, and communication data.
The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or to take pre-contractual steps. In all other cases, processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the effective processing of inquiries.
The data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of processing ceases to apply, unless statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests in further storage exist.
6. Booking Appointments via Microsoft / Outlook
Links for booking appointments via Microsoft services, specifically Outlook or Microsoft Bookings, may be integrated on our website. If you click on such an appointment link, you will be redirected to a page hosted by Microsoft.
The provider is:
Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited
One Microsoft Place
South County Business Park, Leopardstown
Dublin 18, Ireland
When booking an appointment, details such as name, email address, selected appointment slot, communications, calendar data, technical data, and any other information you enter may be processed. The processing serves the arrangement, management, and execution of appointments.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided the appointment booking serves to take pre-contractual steps or to perform a contract. Otherwise, processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in efficient scheduling and communication.
Microsoft may process data outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Microsoft is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which ensures an adequate level of data protection for transfers to the USA. Additionally, Microsoft uses Standard Contractual Clauses.
Further information can be found in Microsoft's privacy policy at privacy.microsoft.com.
7. Job Applications
You can apply for jobs with us, for example, by email or via the contact options provided on the website. If you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data for the purpose of conducting the application process.
This may include, in particular, name, contact details, CV, certificates, portfolio, work samples, cover letter, qualifications, communication data, and other information transmitted by you.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG. If you give a separate consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Your application data will only be disclosed within our company to persons involved in making decision on your application.
If we do not make you a job offer, if you reject an offer, or if you withdraw your application, we store your application data for up to six months after the end of the application process. Longer storage can take place if this is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or if you have consented to longer storage.
8. Newsletter
A newsletter may be advertised on our website. Newsletters will only be sent if you have explicitly consented or if there is another legal permission.
If you subscribe to a newsletter, we process in particular your email address and, if applicable, your name, your company, the time of subscription, the IP address upon subscription and confirmation, and your declaration of consent. Processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect, for example, via an unsubscribe link in the newsletter or by sending a message to us.
If we use an external service for sending the newsletter (e.g. Mailchimp, HubSpot, Brevo or comparable providers), we will additionally identify this provider, the associated data processing, and any third-country transfers in this privacy policy. Currently, there is no active newsletter subscription via the website.
9. Social Media Links
Our website may contain links to our profiles on social networks, especially LinkedIn and Instagram. If you click on these links, you leave our website and are redirected to the respective platform.
When visiting our website, simple social media links do not transmit any personal data to the platform operators. Data processing by the platform operators only starts when you click on the respective link or interact with the respective platform.
The respective providers are responsible for data processing on the linked platforms. Please consult their privacy policies.
10. AI-Assisted Content and Media
Inventive Studios offers services in the field of technological media production and AI-assisted content creation. On this website, content, in particular texts, images, videos, audio, visuals, or other media, may have been created, edited, or optimized entirely or partially using AI systems.
Insofar as AI-generated or AI-edited content containing personal data is used on the website, this is only done on the basis of an appropriate legal basis, specifically consent, a contractual basis, or a legitimate interest, provided that the legal prerequisites are met.
Where legally required – in particular according to Art. 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 on artificial intelligence (EU AI Act) or other applicable labeling obligations – we label AI-generated or AI-edited media directly on the respective content.
11. YouTube Videos and External Media
11.1 Consent-Dependent Integration of External Content
Content from third-party providers may be embedded on our website. This includes, in particular, videos from the YouTube platform.
External content can be technically integrated in such a way that a connection to the servers of the respective provider is established when the page concerned is accessed. As a result, personal data may be transferred to the provider and cookies or comparable technologies may be used on your device.
Therefore, external content is only loaded if you have consented to the "External Media" category or a comparable category via our cookie banner. Without your consent, only a placeholder is displayed instead of the external content.
The legal bases for loading external content are your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
11.2 Embedding of YouTube Videos
We embed videos of the YouTube platform on our website.
The provider for users within the European Economic Area and Switzerland is:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland
YouTube is a service of the Google group of companies.
The videos are only loaded after you have consented to the use of external media via our cookie banner. As far as technically possible, we use the privacy-enhanced mode offered by YouTube.
Even when using privacy-enhanced mode, a connection to servers of YouTube or Google is established when a video is loaded or played. In this context, the following data in particular can be processed:
IP address;
Accessed page and URL;
Referrer URL;
Date and time of access;
Browser and device information;
Operating system;
Information about the video accessed or played;
Playback duration and interactions with the video player;
Cookie and device identifiers.
If you are logged into YouTube or another Google service at the same time, Google may associate your visit to our website and the playback of the video with your Google account.
YouTube or Google may process the collected data for their own purposes, such as providing the video service, security, measuring reach, improving their own services and – depending on your Google settings and your consent – personalizing content or ads.
According to YouTube, the privacy-enhanced mode is intended to prevent the mere playback of an embedded video from being used directly to personalize the subsequent YouTube user experience. However, a complete prevention of all data transmissions to Google is not guaranteed by this.
The legal bases for embedding are your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG.
Processing by Google LLC or other recipients in the USA and other countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area cannot be ruled out. Further information can be found in the privacy policies of Google and YouTube.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the cookie settings of our website.
12. Status and Amendments of this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy if our website, services used, legal requirements, or internal processes change. The current version can be found on our website.
