DocuSign

We use this service as part of the digital conclusion of contracts with you. This enables us to offer you the option of signing and signing contracts electronically. You can do this using any browser on a PC or smartphone.

If you provide us with your e-mail address during contract processing, we can provide you with the contract to be signed via the "DocuSign" platform if you wish. In that case, we will send you an e-mail with a link to your contract documents.

Unless otherwise specified in the following sections, the data processing will be carried out exclusively by the International University of Cooperative Education of the F+U Unternehmensgruppe gGmbH.

The signature service of our partner DocuSign Inc. Germany, Neue Rothofstrasse 13-19, 60313 Frankfurt, offers the possibility to exchange contract documents via the Internet and to sign them in a legally compliant manner even without the exchange of paper documents.

For this purpose, you will receive an e-mail from us with a personalized link through which you can view the documents intended for you and sign the contract. The personalized link is created when we send the documents that belong to your contract to our partner DocuSign in encrypted form.

By giving us your e-mail address, it is ensured that the personalized link is transmitted exclusively to you.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is the fulfillment of the contract according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

After signing the contractual documents, your personal data transmitted to us is stored in the database of our hosting partner DocuSign as a so-called closed envelope. We receive an email about the signature and storage having taken place, then transfer the signed documents to our own system and assign them to your contract. The completed envelope at DocuSign is automatically deleted after 12 weeks. We store the documents in our system in accordance with the legally prescribed retention period and then delete them automatically.

Docusign ensures the maintenance of an adequate level of data protection in the event of transfer to third countries through the following binding internal data protection rules recognized by the EU (so-called Binding Corporate Rules).

YouTube

Some Internet pages of our offer contain links or connections to YouTube. We point out that if you follow a video produced by us via a link on YouTube, YouTube will process the data (e.g. personal information, IP address) according to their own data usage guidelines and use it for business purposes.

We also directly embed videos stored on YouTube on some of our Internet pages. Thus, when you call up a YouTube video on a page of our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. In doing so, you will be asked beforehand for consent or rejection of cookies before the content is displayed.

The integration of YouTube content is therefore only carried out in "extended data protection mode". YouTube itself provides this mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially save any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are called up, the IP address and possibly other data are transmitted and, for example, which of our websites you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service (e.g. Google+) before accessing the page or are permanently logged in.

As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only saves cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.

Our pages use retargeting technologies from Google. The provider is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This makes it possible to target visitors to our websites with personalized, interest-based advertising. The advertising is displayed using a cookie-based analysis of previous usage and surfing behavior. To the best of our knowledge, no personal data is stored in the process.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's data protection declaration at

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and as part of it the conversion tracking. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers' websites.

The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. Users who do not wish to participate in the tracking can easily deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via their internet browser under user settings. These users will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
