The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory regulations. As new technologies and the continual development of this website may result in changes to this Privacy Policy, we recommend that you review it regularly.

Definitions of the terms used (e.g. “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Article 4 of the GDPR.

Access Data

We, the website operator or the site provider, collect data on website access based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and store these as “server log files” on the website’s server. The following data are logged in this way:

  • Website visited
  • Time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/referring website from which you accessed the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

Server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The storage of the data is carried out for security reasons, for example to clarify cases of misuse. Data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes are exempt from deletion until the matter is fully resolved.

Reach Measurement & Cookies

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized reach measurement, which are transferred either from our server or the servers of third parties to the user’s browser. Cookies are small files stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

If you do not wish cookies for reach measurement to be stored on your device, you can object via the following pages:

Cookie deactivation pages:

  • optout.networkadvertising.org
  • optout.aboutads.info
  • optout.networkadvertising.org (European site)

Common browsers offer settings to disable cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you can access all functions of this website without restrictions if you disable cookies.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data

The website operator collects, uses and discloses your personal data only if permitted by law or if you consent to data collection. Personal data are all information that can be used to identify you and can be traced back to you—such as your name, email address or telephone number.

You can visit this website without providing personal information. For the purpose of improving our online offering, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. These access data include, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet service provider. No conclusions can be drawn about your identity due to anonymisation.

We process personal data such as name, IP address, email address and content provided via the contact form. We process personal data only with the explicit consent of the user concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. Processing is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractual services and optimising our online offering.

Handling of Contact Data

If you contact us using the contact options provided, your information will be stored so that it can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. Without your consent, these data will not be shared with third parties.

Handling of Comments and Contributions

If you leave a comment or contribution on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and serves our security as website operators: Should your comment violate applicable law, we may be held liable and therefore have an interest in the identity of the author.

Use of Google Analytics with Anonymization Function

This website uses “Google Analytics”, a service provided by Google Inc., based on our legitimate interest in optimizing and analyzing our online offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Google Analytics uses cookies stored on your device. The information collected is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework.

IP anonymization is active on this website. The user’s IP address is shortened within EU and EEA member states and other states party to the agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This anonymization removes any personal reference. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.

Under the data processing agreement between us and Google, Google uses the collected information to evaluate website usage and provide related services.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, this may limit full functionality of the website.

You can further prevent data collection via cookies (incl. your IP address) by using a browser plug-in available at: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Alternatively, you can click an opt-out link to prevent future tracking. This sets an opt-out cookie that must remain stored in your browser.

Deletion of Data

You have the right to deletion of your data unless legal retention obligations apply. Data stored by us will be deleted when no longer needed for their purpose and no legal retention obligations exist. If deletion is not possible because the data are required for lawful purposes, processing will be restricted. In this case, data will be blocked and not used for other purposes.

Right to Object

Users of this website may exercise their right to object and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
