Privacy Policy

 

Protecting your personal data is a matter of particular importance to us. Therefore, we process your data solely on the basis of legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the key aspects of data processing within the scope of our website.

 

Security Measures
We implement organizational, contractual, and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that data protection laws are complied with and to protect the data we process against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. Security measures include, in particular, the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our server.

 

Disclosure of Data to Third Parties and Third-Party Providers
Data is only disclosed to third parties within the framework of legal requirements. We only share user data with third parties when, for example, this is necessary for contractual purposes based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR or based on legitimate interests according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the economic and effective operation of our business.

If we use subcontractors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions as well as corresponding technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the applicable legal provisions.

If, within the framework of this privacy policy, content, tools, or other means from other providers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “third-party providers”) are used and their stated location is in a third country, it can be assumed that data transfer to the countries of residence of the third-party providers occurs. Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable law, i.e., generally countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area. Data transfer to third countries occurs either if an adequate level of data protection, user consent, or otherwise a legal permit is available.

 

Contacting Us
If you contact us by email, the data you provide will be stored for six months to process your request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

 

Recording Server Logs
Each access to our website and each retrieval of a file stored on this website is logged. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. Logged data includes: information about requested content, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, the Internet Protocol address (“IP address”), and technical information about the visitor’s end device. Technical information (operating system, browser software, browser version, and screen resolution) does not allow conclusions to be drawn about a specific visitor or person. Detailed records are deleted after statistical evaluation.

 

Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device via your browser. They do not cause any harm. We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you do not wish this, you can set your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and only allow this on a case-by-case basis. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website. For more information about cookies, you can visit Wikipedia.

 

Changing Cookie Settings
How the web browser handles cookies, which cookies are allowed or rejected, can be set by the user in the web browser settings. The exact location of these settings depends on the respective web browser. Detailed information can be accessed via the help function of the respective web browser. If the use of cookies is restricted, not all functions of this website may be fully usable.

 

Cookies on Our Website
Our website uses the following cookies: Cookie Consent (cb-enabled) for storing consent to the use of cookies, Google Analytics (_ga, _gat, _gid) for storing user data related to the website statistics software Google Analytics, Google Maps (gstatic.com, CONSENT) for storing user data related to the integration of Google Maps.

 

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
We use content or service offerings from third-party providers within our online offer based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our online offer in the sense of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “Content”). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is thus necessary for the presentation of this content. We strive to use only such content where the respective providers use the IP address solely for delivering the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also called “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the “pixel tags,” information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users’ devices and may contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit times, and further details about the use of our online offer, as well as be combined with such information from other sources.

The following provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information about data processing and, in some cases, already mentioned here, opt-out options:

 

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process the data on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with other Google data. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. However, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website fully. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above. You can object to the collection of data by Google Analytics with future effect by installing a deactivation add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) for your browser. This website uses Google Analytics with the “anonymizeIp” extension, so IP addresses are only processed in a shortened form to exclude direct personal references.
