Privacy policy

We take privacy seriously

The protection of your privacy when we process your personal data is an important concern for us. When you visit our website, our web servers automatically store the IP of your Internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, the pages which you visit when you are on our website, as well as the date and duration of the visit. This information is essential for the technical transmission of the web pages and for secure server operation. No personalized evaluation of this data is carried out.

If you send us data via the contact form, this data is stored on our servers as part of the data back-up process. Your data will be used by us only to process your request. Your data will also be dealt with in the strictest of confidence. It will not be disclosed to third parties.

Personal data

Personal data is data about your person. This includes your name, address, and email address. You do not have to disclose any personal data in order to be able to visit our Internet site. In some cases, we need your name and address as well as further information in order to be able to offer you the requested service.

The same applies if we supply you with information material on request or if we answer your inquiries. In these cases, we will always point this out to you. Furthermore, we store only the data that you have sent to us either automatically or voluntarily.

If you use one of our services, we generally only collect the data that is necessary for us to be able to provide you with our service. We may ask you for further information, although this is only on a voluntary basis. Whenever we process personal data, we do so in order to be able to provide you with our service or to pursue our commercial objectives.

Automatically stored data

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called “server log files”, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Date and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • Complete IP address of the requesting computer
  • Transferred data volume

This data is not combined with other data sources. Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

This data is temporarily stored by us for reasons of technical security, in particular in order to prevent attempts to attack our web server. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about specific individuals on the basis of this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is made anonymous by shortening the IP address at the domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. The data is also processed in anonymous form for statistical purposes; it is not compared with other data stocks or passed on to third parties, even in the form of extracts. Only within the context of our server statistics, which we publish every two years in our activity report, is the number of page views made known.

Cookies

When you visit our Internet pages, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred from an Internet server to your browser and stored on its hard drive. Only the Internet protocol address is saved during this process – but no personal data. This information, which is stored in the cookies, enables us to recognize you automatically the next time you visit our website, thereby making it easier for you to use our website. The legal basis for the use of cookies is the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can of course also visit our Internet pages without accepting cookies. If you do not want your computer to be recognized upon your next visit, you can also refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings in your browser to “Reject cookies”. You can find out how to do this in the operating instructions of your browser. However, if you reject the use of cookies, there may be restrictions on the use of some areas of our Internet pages.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager does not collect any personal data. The tool will trigger other tags that for their part might collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If a deactivation took place on the domain or cookie level, this deactivation will remain in force for all tracking tags that are implemented by Google Tag Manager. For the Google data protection policy about this tool, please go to: https://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

Google Analytics with Anonymisation Function

On our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland, hereinafter “Google“. Google-Analytics uses so-called “cookies“, text files that are saved on your computer allowing for an analysis of your visit to the website.

The information provided by these cookies, such as the time, place and frequency of your visit including your IP address, will be sent to Google in the USA and saved at this location.

On our website, we use Google Analytics with the suffix “_gat._anonymizeIp”. In this case, Google will already shorten and thus anonymize your IP address within the member states of the European Union or other signatories of the Agreement on the Economic Area.

Google uses this information to evaluate your visit to our website, to create reports for us about the website activities and to render additional services associated with the use of the website and Internet. Where appropriate, Google will also disclose this information to third parties if legally required or if a third party processes these data on behalf of Google.

Google will never link your IP address with other data from Google on its own account. You can prevent the installation of cookies with the corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you won’t be able to make full use of all the functions on our website.

In addition, Google provides a deactivation add-on for the most common browsers which will give you more control over which data Google will collect from the websites you visit. The add-on tells JavaScript (ga.js) from Google Analytics that no information on the website visit may be sent to Google Analytics. However, the deactivation add-on from Google Analytics for browsers does not prevent information from being sent to us or other web analysis services possibly used by us. Click on the following link to get more information on the installation of the browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

If you visit our website using a mobile end device (smartphone or tablet), you must the opt-out cookie will be deleted as well, so you will have to click on the link again.

If you have agreed to have your web and app browser history linked to your Google account and that information from your Google account can be used to personalise your data, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create target group lists for remarketing purposes across devices. For this purpose, Google Analytics will first collect your Google-authenticated ID on our website which is then linked to your Google account (thus personal data). Google Analytics will then temporarily link your ID to your Google Analytics data in order to optimize our target groups.

If you don’t agree with this, you can stop this by making the corresponding settings in the “My account” area of your Google account.

Google Doubleclick

Doubleclick by Google is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland („Google”). Doubleclick by Google uses cookies in order to show you relevant ads. For this purpose, a pseudonym identification number (ID) will be assigned to your browser in order to check which ads were shown in your browser and which ads were clicked on. The cookies do not contain any personal information. The use of the DoubleClick cookies allows Google and its partner websites only to place ads based on previous visits to our website or others on the Internet. Google will transmit the information generated by the cookie to a server in the USA and store it at this location. Google complies with the data protection regulations of the “Privacy Shield” agreement and is registered with the “Privacy Shield” program of the US Department of Commerce. Google will transmit data to third parties only when required by legal provisions or within the scope of the processing of order data. Google will never combine your data with other data collected by Google.

By using our website, you agree with the processing of the data collected about you by Google and with the described method of data processing as well as with the named purpose.

In addition, you can prevent the collection of the data by Google generated by the cookie and related to the use of the website as well as the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link under the item DoubleClick deactivation add-on. Alternatively, you can also deactivate the Doubleclick cookies with this opt-out.

Nach Aussagen der Aufsichtsbehörden ist der Webseiten-Betreiber verpflichtet, ein geeignetes Opt-Out-Verfahren zu implementieren, welches folgende Voraussetzungen erfüllt:

  • Wird ein Opt-Out-Cookie gesetzt, so sollte es sich um ein persistentes HTML5-Storage-Objekt mit einer unbegrenzten Gültigkeitsdauer handeln.
  • Session-Cookies oder sonstige persistente HTML-Cookies mit einer kurzen Gültigkeitsdauer sind dagegen nicht geeignet und erfüllen daher auch nicht die gesetzlichen Anforderungen.
  • Ein Opt-Out-Verfahren kann man durch Programmieren von wenigen Zeilen Javascript-Code mit geringem Aufwand selbst implementieren.
  • Ein Verweis auf Webseiten von Drittanbietern (wie z. B. youronlinechoices.eu, Network Advertising Initiative) ist für ein Opt-Out nicht ausreichend. Nach Setzen von Opt-Out-Cookies über Webseiten solcher Drittanbieter findet unserer Kenntnis nach weiterhin ein Datenverkehr zwischen dem Endgerät des Nutzers und dem Werbenetzwerk statt. Darüber hinaus enthalten die Webseiten der Drittanbieter meist JavaScript-Funktionen, die wiederum das Verfolgen eines einzelnen Nutzers ermöglichen (Tracking). Es ist dem Nutzer daher nicht zuzumuten, für ein Opt-Out auf den Dienst eines Dritten verwiesen zu werden, der wiederum Daten des Nutzers für eigene Zwecke verarbeitet.

Newsletter

In order to send the newsletter, we use the so-called Double Opt-In process, i.e. we will send you a newsletter by e-mail only after you have expressly confirmed that we can activate the newsletter service. We will then send you a notification e-mail and ask you to confirm that you want to receive the newsletter by clicking on one of the links contained in the e-mail. When subscribing to our newsletter, we will save your IP address and the date of your registration. This will be used solely for verification in case that a third party misuses your e-mail address in order to subscribe to the newsletter without your knowledge or authorization. Should you subsequently no longer want to receive our newsletter, you can object to this at any time without any costs other than the basic fees for transmission.

Security

We have taken technical and administrative security precautions to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access. All of our employees and the service providers working for us are obliged to comply with the valid data protection laws.

Whenever we collect and process personal data, it is encrypted before being transmitted. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security precautions are subject to a constant improvement process and our privacy policies are constantly being revised. Please make sure that you have the latest version.

Right to rectification:

If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request that we rectify or complete such data at any time.

Right to erasure:

You can request that we erase your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing interferes disproportionately with your legitimate protection interests. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate erasure, e.g. in the case of legally regulated retention obligations.

Right to restriction of the processing:

You may request that we restrict the processing of your data if

  • you dispute the accuracy of the data, namely for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.
  • the processing of the data is unlawful, but you refuse to have it erased and instead request a restriction on the use of the data,

Right to data portability:

You may request us to provide you with the data you have made available to us in a structured, current and machine-readable format and to allow you to forward this data to another responsible party without our interference, provided that

  • we process this data on the basis of an agreement which you have submitted and which is revocable or in order to fulfill a contract between us, and
  • this processing is carried out using automated methods.

If it is technically feasible, you can ask us to transfer your data directly to another responsible party.
