How do we collect your data?

Some data are collected when you provide it to us. This could, for example, be data you enter on a contact form.

Other data are collected auto­mat­ic­ally by our IT systems when you visit the website. These data are primarily tech­nical data such as the browser and oper­ating system you are using or when you accessed the page. These data are collected auto­mat­ic­ally as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure the proper func­tioning of the website. Other data can be used to analyse how visitors use the site.
 

4. Data collec­tion on our website

Our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files and do no damage to your device. They are either stored tempor­arily on your device for the dura­tion of a session (session cookies) or perman­ently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are auto­mat­ic­ally deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them your­self or an auto­matic solu­tion is imple­mented by your web browser.

In some instances, cookies from third-party companies can also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for stat­istics). These cookies are stored on your device for 12 months.

Cookies have different func­tions. Numerous cookies are tech­nic­ally neces­sary because certain website func­tions would not work without them (e.g. the shop­ping cart func­tion or the showing of videos). Other cookies are used to eval­uate user beha­viour or to display advertising.

Tech­nic­ally neces­sary cookies (e.g. shop­ping cart cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) of the General Data Protec­tion Regu­la­tion (GDPR). We have a legit­imate interest in the storage of cookies in order to provide our services in a tech­nic­ally fault­less and optim­ised manner. Other cookies will only be stored with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time with future effect. You can also object to the processing of your data by cookie tech­no­lo­gies in accord­ance with Art. 21 GDPR.

First, you can indicate your objec­tion by deac­tiv­ating the use of cookies via the settings in your browser. Further­more, you can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to exclude cookies for certain cases or in general and to activate the auto­matic dele­tion of cookies when you close your browser. Deac­tiv­ating cookies may limit the func­tion­ality of this website.

Insofar as cookies are used from third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you of this separ­ately in the context of this privacy policy and, if neces­sary, ask for consent.

Server log files

The website provider auto­mat­ic­ally collects and stores inform­a­tion that your browser auto­mat­ic­ally trans­mits to us in „server log files“. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Oper­ating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP addresse

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.

These data are collected on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The website provider has a legit­imate interest in the tech­nic­ally fault­less present­a­tion and optim­isa­tion of its website; for this purpose, it is neces­sary to collect the server log files.

Request by email, phone or fax

If you contact us by email, phone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), is only stored and processed by us for the purposes of processing your subject for concern. We will not disclose these data without your permission.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfil­ment of a contract or is neces­sary for the imple­ment­a­tion of pre-contrac­tual meas­ures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) and / or on our legit­imate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), as we have a legit­imate interest in effect­ively processing the requests addressed to us.

We will retain the data you provide via contact requests until you ask us to delete them, you revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for their storage is no longer applic­able (e. g. after the processing of your subject for concern has been completed). Any mandatory stat­utory provi­sions – espe­cially mandatory reten­tion periods – remain unaffected.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryp­tion for security reasons and for the protec­tion of the trans­mis­sion of confid­en­tial content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site oper­ator. You can recog­nize an encrypted connec­tion in your browser’s address line when it changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryp­tion is activ­ated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
 

5. Hosting and Content Delivery Networks (CDN)

External Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website are stored on the host’s servers. This can primarily be IP addresses, contact requests, meta and commu­nic­a­tion data, contract data, contact details, names, website access and other data gener­ated via a website.

The host is used for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our poten­tial and existing customers (Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. b) GDPR) and in the interest of a safe, fast and effi­cient provi­sion of our website by a profes­sional provider (Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Our host will only process your data to the extent required to fulfil its perform­ance oblig­a­tions and to follow our instruc­tions in rela­tion to these data.

Conclu­sion of an order processing contract
In order to guar­antee privacy-compliant processing, we have concluded a contract for order processing with our host.

6. Rights of the persons concerned

Inform­a­tion, dele­tion and correction

As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with inform­a­tion free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recip­ient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in our legal notice if you have further ques­tions on the topic of personal data.

Revoc­a­tion of your consent to the processing of your data

Many data processing oper­a­tions are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is suffi­cient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

Right to object to the collec­tion of data in special cases and to direct advert­ising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PAR. 1 LIT. E) OR F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTIC­ULAR SITU­ATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVI­SIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU LODGE AN OBJEC­TION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR RELEVANT PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPEL­LING LEGIT­IMATE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXER­CISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PAR. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERT­ISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA RELATING TO YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERT­ISING, INCLUDING PROFILING – INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERT­ISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR PURPOSES OF DIRECT ADVERT­ISING (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PAR. 2 GDPR).

Right to file complaints with regu­latory authorities

In the event of infringe­ments of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have the right to file complaints with a super­visory authority, partic­u­larly in the member state of their habitual resid­ence, work­place or the place of presumed infringe­ment. The right to file complaints exists without preju­dice to other admin­is­trative or judi­cial remedies. 

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfil­ment of a contract auto­mat­ic­ally delivered to your­self or to a third party in a standard, machine-read­able format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another respons­ible party, this will only be done to the extent tech­nic­ally feasible.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To this end, you can contact us at any time at the address stated on our site’s legal notice page. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

•  If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted for the dura­tion of the verification.
• If the processing of your personal data has taken/​is taking place unlaw­fully, you can request restric­tion of data processing instead of data deletion.
•  If we no longer require your personal data but you do in order to exer­cise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restric­tion of processing of your personal data instead of data deletion.
•  If you have lodged an objec­tion pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, it is neces­sary to weigh up your interests against ours. As long as it has not been ascer­tained whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data, apart from being stored, may be processed only with your consent, or for the purpose of asserting, exer­cising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or on the grounds of an important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.

7. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses func­tions of Google Analytics, a web analysis service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow website use to be analysed. The inform­a­tion gener­ated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually trans­mitted to a Google server in the United States of America, where it is stored.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The website oper­ator has a legit­imate interest in analysing user beha­viour in order to optimise both its website and its advert­ising. If appro­priate consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing takes place exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymisa­tion

On this website we have enabled the IP anonymisa­tion feature. Thus, within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agree­ment on the European Economic Area your IP address is shortened by Google before it is trans­ferred to the USA. Only in excep­tional cases will the full IP address be trans­ferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the oper­ator of this website, Google will use this inform­a­tion to analyse your use of the website, compile reports regarding website activity, and provide other services to the website oper­ator related to website usage and Internet usage. The IP address trans­mitted by your browser in the content of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by means of an appro­priate setting in your browser soft­ware; however, we would like to point out that if you do this, you may not be able to fully utilise all the features of this website. You can also prevent the collec­tion of data gener­ated by cookies and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) passing to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by down­loading and installing the browser plugin avail­able at the following link: https://​tools​.google​.com/​d​l​p​a​g​e​/​g​a​o​p​t​o​u​t​?hl=en.

Order processing

We have entered into a data processing contract with Google and fully imple­ment the strict require­ments of the German data protec­tion author­ities when using Google Analytics.

Demo­graphic Features of Google Analytics

This website uses the „Demo­graphic Features“ func­tion of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be gener­ated, which contain state­ments about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the site. These data come from interest-based advert­ising from Google and third-party visitor data. These data cannot be attrib­uted to a specific person. You can deac­tivate this feature at any time by means of the advert­ise­ment settings in your Google account, or you can gener­ally forbid the collec­tion of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section „Objec­tion to data collection“.

Storage period

Data stored at Google at user and event level that are linked to cookies, user IDs (e. g. user ID) or advert­ising IDs (e. g. Double­Click cookies, Android advert­ising ID) will be anonymised or deleted after 14 months. For details, see the following link: https://​support​.google​.com/​a​n​a​l​y​t​i​c​s​/​a​n​s​w​e​r​/​7​6​6​7​1​9​6​?hl=en

Purposes

We use Google Analytics to enable us to analyse and regu­larly improve the use of our website. The stat­istics gained in this way enable us to improve our offer and make it more inter­esting for you as a user. Google has agreed to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://​www​.privacy​shield​.gov/​E​U​-​U​S​-​F​r​a​mework, for the excep­tional cases in which personal data are trans­ferred to the USA. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Par. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

8. Plugins and Tools 

YouTube with enhanced privacy

This website integ­rates videos from YouTube. The site provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the privacy-enhanced mode. According to YouTube, this mode causes YouTube not to store any inform­a­tion about visitors to this website before they watch the video. The disclosure of data to YouTube part­ners is, however, not mandat­orily excluded by the privacy-enhanced mode. Thus, YouTube estab­lishes a connec­tion to the Google Double­Click network, regard­less of whether you are viewing a video or not.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connec­tion is estab­lished to the YouTube servers. The YouTube server is then informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly asso­ciate your surfing habits with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly asso­ci­ated with your account. If you do not wish to be asso­ci­ated with your profile when using YouTube, you must log out before activ­ating the button.

In addi­tion, YouTube can store different cookies on your device once you have started a video. YouTube can use these cookies to gather inform­a­tion about visitors to this website. This inform­a­tion is among other things used to record video stat­istics, to improve user-friend­li­ness, and to prevent attempted fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

Starting a YouTube video may possibly trigger further data processing oper­a­tions which are beyond our control.

YouTube is used in the interests of making our website appealing. This repres­ents a legit­imate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If appro­priate consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing takes place exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Further inform­a­tion on privacy at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://​policies​.google​.com/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​?hl=en.

Open­StreetMap

We use the map service of Open­StreetMap (OSM). The provider is the Open Street Map Found­a­tion (OSMF), 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Cold­field, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom.

If you visit a website on which Open­StreetMap is integ­rated, your IP address and further inform­a­tion about your beha­viour on this website will among other things be forwarded to the OSMF. To this end, Open­StreetMap possibly saves cookies in your browser. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow your website use to be analysed. You can prevent the storage of cookies by means of an appro­priate setting in your browser soft­ware; however, we would like to point out that if you do this, you may not be able to fully utilise all the features of this website.

Your loca­tion can also be recorded if you have allowed this in your device settings, e. g. on your cell phone. The provider of this site has no influ­ence on this transfer of data. Details can be found in the privacy policy of Open­StreetMap under the following link: https://​wiki​.osmfound​a​tion​.org/​w​i​k​i​/​P​r​i​v​a​c​y​_​Policy.

The use of Open­StreetMap is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facil­itate locating the places we specify on the website. This repres­ents a legit­imate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If appro­priate consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing takes place exclus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
