Privacy policy 

Thank you for visiting our website. In the privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). 

 

Controller 

The controller for the data processing described below is named in the imprint.  

 

Usage data 

When you visit our websites, our web server temporarily evaluates so-called usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data consists of the following data categories: 

  • the name and address of the requested content, 
  • the date and time of the query, 
  • the amount of data transferred, 
  • the access status (content transferred, content not found), 
  • the description of the used web browser and operating system, 
  • the referral link, which indicates from which page you reached ours, 
  • the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened in such a way that a personal reference can no longer be established. 

The aforementioned log data will be evaluated anonymously. 

The legal basis for the processing of usage data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of providing the contents of the website and ensuring a device- and browser-optimised display. 

 

Data security 

In order to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access, we implement technical and organisational measures. These measures include encryption procedures on our websites. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://

 

Necessary cookies 

We use cookies on our websites, which are necessary for using our websites. 

Cookies are small text files that can be stored on and extracted from your device. There is a difference between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored for more than the duration of the session.  

We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes. 

In some cases, these cookies only contain information on certain settings and are not linked to a person. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and operating of the site. 

The legal basis for using these cookies is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.  

You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies. You can also delete cookies or prevent the setting of new cookies at any time by using the appropriate browser settings. Please note that if you delete certain cookies, our websites may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be available. 

Consent banner 

We use a consent management platform (consent or cookie banner) on our websites. The processing in connection with the use of the consent management platform and the logging of the settings you have made is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to provide you with our content according to your preferences and to be able to prove your consent(s). The settings you have made, the consents you have given and parts of your usage data are stored in a cookie. This ensures that it is kept for further website visits and that your consents continue to be traceable. You can find more information about this under the section "Necessary cookies". 

The provider of the consent management platform acts on our behalf and is strictly bound by our instructions (processor). A data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded.   

 

Matomo 

We use the web analysis tool "Matomo" to design our websites in accordance with the needs of our visitors. Matomo creates user profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your device and accessed by us. This allows us to recognise returning visitors and count them as such. 

The data processing is based on your consent, provided that you have given your consent via our banner. 

You can withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, please follow this link and make the appropriate settings via our banner.  

The cookies set are deleted or no longer processed after 12 months or after you withdrew your consent.  

 

Contact form  

You may contact us via our contact form. In order to use our contact form, we first require the data marked as mandatory. 

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in order to respond to your request. In addition, you can decide for yourself whether you would like to provide us with further information. This information is provided voluntarily and is not mandatory for contacting us. We process the information you provide voluntarily on the basis of your consent. 

Your data will only be processed to respond to your enquiry. We delete your data if it is no longer required and there are no legal retention obligations in conflict to that.  

Concerning the processing according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time. You can also withdraw your consent to the processing of the data you provided voluntarily at any time. To do so, please contact the e-mail address stated in the imprint. 

 

Embedded videos 

On our websites, we embed videos that are not stored on our servers. However, for reasons of data protection, no content from third-party providers is reloaded yet and the third-party provider will not receive any information, when you call up our web pages.  

Only when you give your consent via our consent banner the content of the third-party provider will be reloaded. The third-party provider is therefore able to obtain the information that you have accessed our site as well as the usage data that is technically required in this context. Additionally, the third-party provider is able to implement tracking technologies. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. Your consent includes that contents of the third party provider are reloaded.  

The embedding is based on your consent, provided you have given your consent via our consent banner. If the data is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA) in this context, we provide information on the level of data protection in the table below.

Integration of other technical third-party content and functions 

We use technical functions and content of third-party providers mentioned below to present our websites. 

Calling up our pages leads to the content of the third-party provider being reloaded, who provides these functions and content. This provides the third-party provider with the information that you have accessed our site as well as the usage data technically required in this context. 

We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider.  

The data processing is based on your consent, provided that you have previously given your consent via our consent banner.     

Please note that the use of third-party content and features may result in your data being processed outside the EU or EEA (in particular in the US). There is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having a right to appeal. If we use providers in countries without an adequate data protection level and you give consent, the transfer to the third country is based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Your rights as a data subject 

When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you certain rights as a data subject: 

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR) 

You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data of you is being processed; if this is the case, you have the right to obtain information about the processed personal data and to receive the information listed in detail in Art. 15 GDPR. 

Right of rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) 

You have the right to request the rectification of any inaccurate personal data relating to you and, where applicable, the completion of any incomplete data, without delay. 

Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) 

You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data  without delay, provided that one of the reasons listed in detail in Art. 17 GDPR applies. 

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) 

You have the right to request the restriction of processing, for the duration of the assessment by the controller, if one of the requirements listed in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g. if you have objected to the processing, 

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) 

In certain cases, which are listed in detail in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party. 

Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7 GDPR) 

If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. Please note that the withdrawal of the consent is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the withdrawal is not affected.
