We take data protection seriously

Protecting your privacy when processing personal data is a top priority for us. When you visit our website, our web servers automatically record your Internet service provider’s IP address, the website from which you are visiting us, the pages you view on our site, as well as the date and duration of your visit. This information is essential for the technical delivery of our web pages and for secure server operation. This data is not analyzed on an individual basis.
If you send us data via the contact form, this data is stored on our servers as part of our data backup procedures. We use your data exclusively to process your inquiry. Your data is treated as strictly confidential. It is not shared with third parties.

Personal data

Personal data is information about you. This includes your name, address, and email address. You are not required to provide any personal data to visit our website. In some cases, we need your name and address, as well as additional information, in order to provide you with the service you request.

The same applies if we provide you with informational materials at your request or if we respond to your inquiries. In such cases, we will always notify you. Furthermore, we only store the data that you have provided to us automatically or voluntarily.

When you use one of our services, we generally collect only the data necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask you for additional information, but this is optional. Whenever we process personal data, we do so to provide you with our service or to pursue our business objectives.

Contact Us

When you contact us (e.g., via the contact form, email, phone, or social media), we process the information provided by the person making the inquiry to the extent necessary to respond to the inquiry and take any requested actions.

We respond to contact requests made in the context of contractual or pre-contractual relationships to fulfill our contractual obligations or to respond to (pre-)contractual inquiries, and otherwise based on our legitimate interest in responding to such inquiries.

Types of data processed: Personal information (e.g., names, addresses), contact information (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers), content data (e.g., entries in online forms).
Affected individuals: Communication partners.
Purposes of processing: Contact requests and communication.
Legal basis: Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

Automatically saved 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. This information includes:

Date and time of the request
Name of the requested file
The page from which the file was requested
Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
Web browser and operating system used
full IP address of the requesting computer
amount of data transferred

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

For technical security reasons, particularly to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, we temporarily store this data. We are unable to identify individual persons based on this data. After no more than seven days, the data is anonymized by truncating the IP address to the domain level, so that it is no longer possible to link it to an individual user. In anonymized form, the data is also processed for statistical purposes; it is not compared with other data sets or disclosed to third parties, even in excerpts. The number of page views is reported solely as part of our server statistics, which we publish every two years in our activity report.

Cookies

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific web browser in which it was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using session cookies, the controller is able to provide users of this website with a user-friendly service that would not be possible without the use of cookies. Without consent, we use only technically necessary cookies on the legal basis of legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Safety

We have implemented technical and administrative security measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, tampering, and unauthorized access. All of our employees and service providers working on our behalf are bound by applicable data protection laws.

Regardless of whether you exercise your right to erasure, we will promptly and completely erase your data, provided that no contractual or legal obligation to retain such data prevents us from doing so.

Right to restriction of processing:

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

You dispute the accuracy of the data, for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the data.
the processing of the data is unlawful, but you object to its erasure and instead request that its use be restricted,

this processing is carried out using automated means.

If technically feasible, you may request that we transfer your data directly to another data controller.

Right to object:

If we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest, you may object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. You may object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time without providing a reason.
