Privacy policy
Thank you for visiting our website. In the following, 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 responsible for the data collection and processing described below is the entity named in the legal notice.
Usage data
When you visit our websites, so-called usage data is temporarily evaluated on our web server for statistical purposes as a log in order to improve the quality of our websites. This data record consists of
- 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 web browser and operating system used,
- the referral link, which indicates from which page you came to ours,
- the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened so that a personal reference can no longer be established.
The aforementioned log data is only analyzed anonymously.
Storage of the IP address for security purposes
In addition, we store the full IP address transmitted by your web browser for a period of fourteen days strictly for the purpose of detecting, limiting and eliminating attacks on our websites. After this period has expired, we delete or anonymize the IP address. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data security
We take technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access as comprehensively as possible. We use an encryption process on our websites. Your data is transmitted 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://.
Required cookies
We use cookies on our websites that are necessary for the use of our websites.
Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your end device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session.
We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes.
Some of these cookies only contain information on certain settings and are not personally identifiable. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and implementation of the site.
We use these cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
You can set your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the corresponding browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our web pages may then not be displayed and some functions may no longer be technically available.
Google Analytics
We use the web analysis tool “Google Analytics” to design our websites in line with requirements. Google Analytics creates user profiles on the basis of pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your end device and read by us. In this way, we are able to recognize returning visitors and count them as such.
In the context of Google Analytics, we are supported by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. (USA) support us as processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Data processing may therefore also take place outside the EU or the EEA. With regard to Google LLC, no adequate level of data protection can be assumed due to processing in the USA. There is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or being able to take legal action. Please bear this in mind if you decide to give your consent to our use of Google Analytics.
Data processing is based on your consent, provided that you have given your consent via our banner. The transfer to a third country is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, please follow this link and make the appropriate settings via our banner.
Map service
On our websites, we embed map services that are not stored on our servers. To ensure that accessing our web pages with embedded map services does not automatically result in the third-party provider’s content being reloaded, we only display locally stored preview images of the maps in a first step. This means that the third-party provider does not receive any information.
Only after you click on the preview image will the third-party provider’s content be loaded. As a result, the third-party provider receives the information that you have accessed our site and the usage data technically required in this context. We have no influence on further data processing by the third-party provider. By clicking on the preview image, you give us your consent to load content from the third-party provider.
Embedding takes place on the basis of your consent, provided that you have previously given your consent by clicking on the preview image.
Please note that the embedding of some map services means that your data will be processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. If we use providers in unsafe third countries and you give your consent, the transfer to an unsafe third country is carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Unless we have already informed you in detail about the storage period, we delete personal data when it is no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.
Other processors
We pass on your data to service providers who support us in the operation of our websites and the associated processes as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. These are, for example, hosting service providers. Our service providers are strictly bound by our instructions and contractually obligated accordingly.
Your rights as a data subject
When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you certain rights as a data subject:
Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have a right to information about this personal data and to the information listed in detail in Art. 15 GDPR.
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
You have the right to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, where applicable, to have incomplete personal data completed.
Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
You have the right to demand that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17 GDPR applies.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g. if you have lodged an objection to the processing, for the duration of the examination by the controller.
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 the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.
Right of withdrawal (Art. 7 GDPR)
If the processing of data is based on your consent, you are entitled to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. Please note that the revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing to protect legitimate interests) or on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR (data processing to protect the public interest or in the exercise of official authority), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)
Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of data concerning you infringes data protection regulations. The right to lodge a complaint can be exercised in particular with a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
