This includes sending personalized email newsletters as well as personalized advertising of web content on our website, customized for likely preferences of the potential customers. As a result of using a tracking pixel, we can measure the interaction with newsletters we have sent. We use JavaScript-Snippet on our website to record whether certain pages are visited or certain actions are executed.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">This processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).

Our legitimate interest results from the processing of your matter.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text"><strong>4.6.2 Lead management</strong></p><p class="b_textmedia__text">Leads are information about potential new customers as well as inquiries from existing customers with a possible intent to purchase. Lead management is directed towards the effective administration of leads by segmenting and assessing them. Lead scoring is the basis for segmentation.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">Lead scoring makes it possible to assess the leads, in order to be able to classify the willingness to purchase. The standard is a measurement of the interest of a person in Eppendorf. The weighting and definition of the criteria for the storing are based on empirical assumptions which correlate to the probability of interest in making a purchase. The weighting takes place by assigning points in which a certain value is attributed to each criterion. The sum of the points then results in the total number of points for the lead which serves as a basis for classifying the lead. To the extent a threshold is reached, the lead is classified as a "Qualified Lead". A check can subsequently be carried out with regard to whether these persons can legally be approached with advertising.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">The score can consist of the following information from offline sources:</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">Registration for an event, participation in an event, participation in a roadshow, a user group, a table top event, visiting a trade fair stand, indicating interest after visiting the trade fair, participation in a webinar, viewing a recorded webinar. This information is imported into Marketo from various events.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">The reactions to emails also are included in developing the value as follows: opening an email, selecting a link in the email. A link is chosen which leads to social media content. This information is collected using a tracking pixel.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">The activity on our website is also recorded and included in the score: Downloading a white paper, user instructions for products as well as a catalog, downloading information brochures, certificates, visiting relevant sub-pages.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">We sometimes use cookies to collect the above-mentioned information. The use of cookies and the subsequent data processing only take place with your consent g (§ 25 para. 1 German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act [Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz, "TTDSG"], Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). If you have granted additional consent, we use your personal data also to develop a profile (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). Your consent is voluntary and can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">Information is also collected which reduces the score. This information correlates with a person's lack of interest and, therefore, is also taken into account. An email cannot be delivered because the email address no longer exists, or an email cannot be delivered temporarily for technical reasons, or there has been absolutely no activity within the last sixty days, and cancelling registration for events or cancelling a newsletter.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text">Adding the individual values requires that data are combined from various sources. If a data subject has already had contact with us, e.g. in the context of a purchase that has already been carried out, this information is also linked to the score.</p><p class="b_textmedia__text"></p><h4 class="b_headline b_headline__h4"><strong>5 Our presence on social media</strong></h4><p class="b_textmedia__text">We operate pages and profiles on various social media platforms.
