We use the service Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
This means that we place Google Ads and also use Google remarketing and conversion tracking as part of this. The ads are displayed after search queries on websites of the Google advertising network. In addition, we use Ads remarketing lists for search ads. This allows us to customize search ad campaigns for users who have visited our website before. Through the services, we have the opportunity to combine our ads with certain search terms or to display ads for previous visitors in which, for example, services are advertised that the visitors have viewed on our website. We can thus display interest-based advertising to users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (as a "Google ad" within Google search or on other websites).
An analysis of online user behavior is necessary for interest-based offers. Google uses cookies to perform this analysis. When clicking on an ad or visiting our website, a cookie is set on the user's computer by Google. These cookies have a term of 90 days. The information collected by means of the respective cookie is used to target the visitor in a subsequent search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's notes on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer receive information about the fact that a user has clicked on an ad and was redirected to our websites. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for a statistical evaluation for ad optimization. We do not receive any information with which visitors can be personally identified. Your IP address is transmitted to Google, but since we use Google Analytics IP masking on this website, your IP address is anonymized. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that is tagged with a conversion tag. Based on these statistics, we can track which search terms were clicked on our ad particularly often and which ads lead to a contact via the contact form by the user.
Insofar as data is processed outside the EEA, where there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish a secure level of data protection.
You can find more information on data protection in the context of Google Ads at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en
The data collection and storage take place only after explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. This can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
If you do not want your visit to be included in the user statistics, you can prevent this by preventing the storage of the cookie required for these technologies, for example, via the settings of your browser.
You also have the option to select the types of Google ads or disable interest-based ads on Google via the ads setting. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by calling the deactivation help of the network advertising initiative.
However, we and Google still receive the statistical information about how many users have visited this page and when. If you also do not want to be included in these statistics, you can prevent this with the help of additional programs for your browser (for example, with the Ghostery add-on).
Insofar as you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, is used on this website. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
Scope of processing
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected by means of the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
In Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in the form of "events". Events can include:
The following data are also recorded:
Purposes of processing

It cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities will access the data stored by Google.
Transfer to third countries
Insofar as data are processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. You may not have any legal remedies against access by authorities.
Storage duration
The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data for which retention period has been reached are automatically deleted once a month.
Legal basis
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Art.6 para.1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR.
Revocation
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings (see cookie icon at the bottom right ) and changing your selection there. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation remains unaffected by this.
Alternatively, you can prevent cookies from being stored in the first place by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to refuse all cookies, you may experience limitations in functionality on this and other websites. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google, by
a. not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or
b. downloading and installing the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics HERE.

We use the web analytics service Hotjar to analyze the use of our website. Hotjar Ltd (St Julian's Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julian's STJ 1000, Malta) complies with the provisions of the Data Protection Act, Chapter 440 of the Laws of Malta ("Applicable Law"), which implements all relevant European Union directives on data protection.
By means of Hotjar, user behavior (mouse movements, clicks, scroll height, etc.) on our websites is measured, recorded if necessary, and analyzed. Furthermore, information is collected about previously visited websites, your home country, devices used, operating systems and browsers. The IP address of the end device is only collected and stored in an anonymous way by setting the last octet of IPv4 addresses to 0 to ensure that the full IP address is never written to disk. The collected data is transferred and stored via an encrypted connection to servers located in Ireland (EU).
Recording and heatmap data are stored for 365 days from the date of creation. Responses captured by the feedback tools are deleted when no longer needed.
The purpose of the described data processing is to improve the service, the functionality of the Hotjar-based website and thus the user experience. For this purpose, Hotjar also sets cookies on your end devices, among other things. You can find more information about the cookies used at: https://help.hotjar.com/hc/en-us/articles/6952777582999-Cookies-Set-by-the-Hotjar-Tracking-Code

On our website you will find links to the social media services of Twitter, LinkedIn, XING, YouTube, Instagram.
You can recognize links to the websites of the social media services by the respective company logo. If you follow these links, you will reach PSI's corporate presence on the respective social media service. When you click on a link to a social media service, a connection is established to the servers of the social media service. This transmits to the servers of the social media service that you have visited our website. In addition, further data are transmitted to the provider of the social media service. These include for example:
If you are already logged in to the corresponding social media service at the time the link is activated, the provider of the social media service may be able to determine your username and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data and assign this information to your personal user account with the social media service. You can exclude this possibility of assignment to your personal user account if you log out of your user account beforehand.
The servers of the social media services Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram are located in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. The data may 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 data protection laws that do not generally protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the member states of the European Union.
Please note that we have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the provider of the social media service.
