Privacy Statement

Thank you for visiting our website. We take the legal provisions on data protection seriously and comply with them.

Object of data protection
The purpose of data protection is to protect personal data and thus the right of the individual to informational self-determination. Personal data includes, for example: your name, postal address, email address, or telephone number, as well as usage data such as your IP address. These individual items of data can be used to identify you.

Legal basis for processing personal data
If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

If we process personal data for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.

If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that processing of personal data is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our company or by a third party and if the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Data erasure and storage period
Personal data of data subjects will be erased or blocked by us as soon as the purpose for which it is stored ceases to apply.

If the legislator has imposed regulations to which we are subject, the data may be stored beyond this point. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by these regulations expires, unless it is necessary to continue to store the data in order to conclude or fulfill a contract.

The following data is collected:

This data is also stored in log files in our system. We store this data separately from other personal data concerning you and do not combine it at any time.

Legal basis for data processing
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as our legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files.

b) Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

This data is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and safeguard the security of our information technology systems. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data collected in this context is not analyzed for marketing purposes.

c) Duration of storage
The data will be erased as soon as the purpose for which it was collected has been achieved and it is no longer necessary, except where required by law.

If data is collected for the purposes of providing the website, this occurs when you leave our website.

If the data is stored in log files, erasure takes place after xxx days at the latest. Storage beyond this time period is possible. In which case, the IP addresses of users are erased or modified so that they can no longer be assigned to the client accessing the website.

d) Option to object and erase
The collection of data for the purpose of providing the website and the storage of data in log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. For this reason, the user does not have the option to object.

Cookies for analysis purposes help to gain information and find out how the website is used and how the user behavior is in the individual pages, e.g. the most frequent subpages, most visited links, page load time, error messages and used devices of the users (so-called tracking). The data is usually used to make a website attractive to certain user target groups, to determine the usability of the site and adjust it if necessary, or to optimize it for the most frequently used end devices. These are primarily third party cookies.

Cookies and implemented technologies
For some of our services, it is necessary that we use so-called cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device by the browser.

These services are based on our legitimate interests as described above. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

In order to improve our website, we also use cookies and comparable tracking technologies to statistically record and analyze general usage behavior based on access data.
