Data protection

The website operator takes your data protection seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. Due to new technologies and the continuous development of this website, changes to this privacy policy may occur. Therefore, we recommend that you review the privacy policy periodically.

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

Access Data
We, the website operator or page provider, collect data on access to the website based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and store it as “server log files” on the website’s server. The following data is logged:

• Visited website
• Time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you accessed the page
• Used browser
• Operating system used
• IP address used

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data is stored for security reasons, such as investigating abuse cases. If data needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes, it is exempt from deletion until the incident is definitively resolved.

Reach Measurement & Cookies
This website uses cookies for pseudonymous reach measurement, which are either transmitted from our server or third-party servers to the user’s browser. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device, and your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies enhances the user-friendliness and security of this website. If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device for reach measurement, you can object to the use of these files here:

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

Collection and Processing of Personal Data
The website operator collects, uses, and shares your personal data only when permitted by legal regulations or with your consent. Personal data includes any information that can be used to identify you and can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address, and phone number.

You can visit this website without providing personal information. However, for the improvement of our online services, we store access data related to this website (without personal identifiers). This access data includes details such as the requested file or your internet service provider’s name. Due to data anonymization, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your identity.

We process personal data such as first name, last name, IP address, email address, place of residence, postal code, and content provided through contact forms.

Our processing of personal data occurs only with explicit consent from the relevant users and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed-upon services and optimizing our online offerings.

Handling of contact data
When you, as a website operator, connect with us through the provided contact options, your details are stored so that we can refer to them for processing and responding to your inquiry. Rest assured that without your consent, this data will not be shared with third parties.

Google Analytics
This website uses the service “Google Analytics” based on our legitimate interests for optimizing and analyzing our online offerings, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), utilizes “cookies” – text files stored on your device. The information collected by these cookies is typically sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google LLC complies with European data protection regulations and is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

IP anonymization is applied on this website. Users’ IP addresses are shortened within the member states of the EU, the European Economic Area, and other contracting states of the agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then shortened. This anonymization eliminates the personal reference to your IP address. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

Under the data processing agreement we have with Google Inc. as website operators, Google creates an evaluation of website usage and activity based on the collected information, providing services related to internet use.

The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to analyze individual users’ utilization of our online offerings, such as creating reports on website activity to improve our online services.

You have the option to prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting settings in your browser. However, it is not guaranteed that you will have unrestricted access to all features of this website if your browser does not allow cookies.

Additionally, you can prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. through a browser plugin. The following link leads you to the relevant plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Deletion of data

Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods. If deletion cannot be performed because the data is required for permissible legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In such cases, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
