Privacy Policy

SSL or TLS encryption

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders, or send emails over the internet, you must always expect unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we make every effort to protect your data as best as possible and to close security gaps wherever possible.

An important security mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the entered Internet address in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not http://.

How long do we store your data?

At certain points in this privacy policy, we inform you how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will retain your data. If no such information is provided, we will retain your data until the purpose for which it was processed no longer applies, you object to the processing, or you withdraw your consent to the processing.

However, in the event of an objection or revocation, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for continuing the data processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms (only if you object to data processing; if the objection is directed against direct marketing, we cannot provide legitimate grounds).

Data processing is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (does not apply if your objection is directed against direct marketing).

We are legally obliged to retain your data.

In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) no longer apply.

Data transfer to the USA

We also use tools on our website from companies that transmit your data to the USA, where it is stored and possibly further processed. This is particularly important for you because your data does not enjoy the same level of protection in the USA as it does within the EU, where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies. For example, US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action. It is therefore possible that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Your Rights

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You give this consent, for example, by checking the appropriate box on online forms before submitting the form or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). From the time of revocation, we are no longer permitted to process your data. The only exception: We are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist, in particular, in tax and commercial law.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

If you believe that we are violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place where the alleged violation occurred. This right of complaint exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

We must provide you or a third party with data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a common machine-readable format upon your request. We can only transfer the data to another controller if this is technically feasible.

Right to access, delete, and correct data

According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information, free of charge, about what personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data, and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR); under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

In certain situations, according to Art. 18 GDPR, you can request that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then – apart from storage – only be processed as follows:

• With your consent

• To assert, exercise or defend legal claims

• To protect the rights of another natural or legal person

• For reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State

The right to restriction of processing exists in the following situations:

• You have disputed the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, and we need time to verify this. In this case, you have the right to object for the duration of the verification.

• If your personal data is being processed unlawfully or has been processed unlawfully in the past, you have the alternative right to have the data deleted.

• We no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims. Alternatively, you have the right to have the data deleted.

• You have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, and now your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. This right exists as long as the outcome of the balancing exercise has not yet been determined.

Hosting  

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access, and other data generated via a website.

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online service by a professional provider (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Our host will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations (e.g. data backup) and will follow our instructions regarding this data.

Data collection on our website

Cookies

Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that serve a variety of purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are required to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to use the benefits of a shopping cart in an online shop. Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or optimize advertising. If we use third-party services on our website, e.g. to process payment transactions, these companies can also leave cookies on your device when you visit the website (so-called third-party cookies).

How do we process your data?

Session cookies are stored on your device only for the duration of a session. They disappear automatically as soon as you close your browser. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being continuously analyzed. You can influence how cookies are handled via your browser settings:

• Would you like to be informed when cookies are set?

• Do you want to exclude cookies generally or in specific cases?

• Do you want cookies to be automatically deleted when you close your browser?

If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.

If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in this privacy policy. We will also ask for your consent when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offerings can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all the desired functions are available to them. Necessary and functional cookies are therefore stored on your device on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requested, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Server log files

Server log files record all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also contain personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so we cannot assign the data to you personally. The data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our provider.

How do we process your data?

Our provider stores server log files to track activity on our website and troubleshoot errors. These files contain the following data:

• Browser type and version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Hostname of the accessing computer

• Time of the server request

• IP address (possibly anonymized)

We do not combine this data with other data, but use it solely for statistical evaluation and to improve our website

On what legal basis do we process your data?

We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website functions flawlessly. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of access to our website. Data processing is therefore lawful pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process inquiries addressed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with future effect.

Plugins and tools

YouTube (with enhanced privacy)

• Google's servers are informed about which of our pages you have visited from your device. If you are logged into your YouTube account while browsing, Google can directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. If you do not want this to happen, you must log out of your YouTube account before continuing to browse the internet.

• Google receives information about our website visitors through cookies, device fingerprinting, or similar recognition technologies. The company then uses this information to compile video statistics, make its application more attractive to users, and prevent fraud.

• Your data may also be processed beyond this scope. However, we are not aware of the details, and we have no influence on the processing.

Even if you don't start a YouTube video on our website, Google will connect to its DoubleClick network and possibly to other partners. Therefore, enhanced privacy mode doesn't mean that Google won't process any of your data when you visit our website.

On what legal basis do we process your data?

By embedding YouTube videos, we want to make our website, as well as our services and offerings, more appealing. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If you have consented to data processing, we will process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we are no longer permitted to process your data.

Google Web Fonts (local hosting)

We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally, so no connection to Google's servers is established when you visit our website. Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
