The controller within the meaning of the data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is:

Under the contact details of our data protection officer listed above, you may exercise the following rights at any time:

  • Information about your personal data stored by us and its processing,

  • Rectification of inaccurate personal data,

  • Erasure of your personal data stored by us,

  • Restriction of data processing, insofar as we are not yet permitted to delete your data due to statutory obligations,

If you have given us consent, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

You may lodge a complaint at any time with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state of your residence, your place of work, or the alleged infringement. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) including addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html

Purposes of data processing by the controller and third parties

We process your personal data solely for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  • You have given your explicit consent,

  • The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,

  • The processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, or

  • The processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.

Erasure or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data avoidance. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated herein or as required by the various statutory retention periods. After the respective purpose has ceased to apply or these retention periods have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.

Collection of general information when visiting our website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and similar information. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the content of websites requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,

  • Ensuring smooth use of our website,

  • Evaluating system security and stability,

  • Other administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest arising from the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the controller and, if applicable, processors.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Registration on our website

When registering to use our personalized services, certain personal data is collected, such as name, address, and contact and communication data such as telephone number and email address. If you are registered with us, you may access content and services that we offer exclusively to registered users. Registered users also have the option to change or delete the data provided during registration at any time if necessary. Of course, we will also provide you at any time with information about the personal data we have stored about you. We will also correct or delete this data at your request, provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict with this. Please use the contact details provided at the end of this privacy policy to contact us in this regard.

Provision of paid services

In order to provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to process your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.

Newsletter

Based on your expressly given consent, we regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by email to the email address you have provided.

Providing your email address is sufficient for receiving the newsletter. When registering to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offering or technical conditions).

For effective registration, we require a valid email address. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the newsletter subscription, the sending of a confirmation email, and the receipt of the response requested thereby. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for this purpose. You may also unsubscribe at any time directly on this website or inform us of your request via the contact option specified at the end of these data protection notices.

Contact form

If you contact us by email or via a contact form with questions of any kind, you voluntarily give us your consent for the purpose of contacting you. For this purpose, providing a valid email address is required. This is used to assign the inquiry and subsequently respond to it. Providing additional data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. After your inquiry has been processed, personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will, however, be 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide further services related to website usage and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purposes of data processing lie in the evaluation of website usage and in the compilation of reports on website activities. Based on the use of the website and the Internet, further related services are then to be provided. Processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Browser Add-On to Deactivate Google Analytics.

In addition to or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will be installed on your device. This will prevent future collection by Google Analytics for this website and this browser as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a visually appealing manner across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible—although currently unclear whether and for what purposes—that operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about the use of the map functions by visitors. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy notices. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center.

Detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube videos

Some of our websites embed YouTube videos. The operator of the corresponding plug-ins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is thereby informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Anyone who has disabled the storage of cookies for the Google Ads program will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social plugins

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our websites. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Via these plugins, information—which may also include personal data—may be sent to the service provider and possibly used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider by using a two-click solution. In order to activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking the corresponding button. Only by activating the plugin will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We do not ourselves collect any personal data via the social plugins or through their use.

We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. There is also the possibility that service providers attempt to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy notices of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook may identify you as a visitor to a specific page.

We have integrated social media buttons from the following companies on our website:

  • History of privacy settings

  • Revoke consents

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
