Privacy Policy

We take the privacy of your data seriously

Protection of your privacy when we process personal data is very important to us. When you visit our website, our web servers, by default, store the IP of your Internet service provider, the website from which you are visiting us, the web pages you visit on our site and the date and duration of the visit. This information is absolutely necessary for technologically transmitting the web pages and securely operating the server. There is no personalised evaluation of this data.

If you send us data via the contact form, this data will be stored on our servers in during data backup. We will only use your data to process your request. Your data will be treated with the utmost confidentiality. Your personal data is not 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 to visit our website. In some cases we need your name and address as well as other information to be able to provide you with the requested service.

The same applies in the event that we supply you with information material on request or when we answer your enquiries. In these cases, we will always inform you of this. In addition, we only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.

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

Automatically stored data

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This is information about the:

  • 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.)
  • Your browser type and operating system
  • Full IP address of the requesting computer
  • Transferred data volume

This data is not combined with other data sources. The data is processed in accordance with Art. 6(1) f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and function of our website.

We store this data briefly for the purpose of technical security, in particular, to prevent attempts to hack into our web servers. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons on the basis of this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is anonymised by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a link to the individual user. In addition, the data is processed anonymously for statistical purposes; it is not compared with other data or passed on to third parties, not even partially. Only in the context of our server statistics, which we publish every two years in our activity report, is there a presentation of the number of page views.

Newsletter

For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by email if you have previously expressly confirmed that you want us to activate the newsletter service. We will then send you a notification email and ask you to confirm that you would like to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link contained in this email. When you register for our newsletter, we store your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely as evidence in the event that a third party misuses your email address to register you for the newsletter without your knowledge or authorisation. If you do not wish to receive any more newsletters from us at a later date, you can object to this at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Security

We have implemented technical and administrative security measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorised access. All our employees and service providers working for us are obligated to comply with the applicable data protection laws.

Whenever we collect and process personal data, it is encrypted before it is transferred. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security measures are subject to a continuous improvement process and our privacy policy is revised regularly. Please make sure you have the latest version.

Rights of data subjects

You have a right of access, rectification, erasure or restriction of the processing of your stored data at any time, a right of objection to the processing as well as a right of data portability and of appeal in accordance with the provisions of data protection law.

Right of access:

You can request information from us as to whether and to what extent we process your data.

Right to rectification:

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

Right to erasure:

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

Irrespective of the exercise of your right of erasure, we will erase your data immediately and completely, insofar as there is no contractual or statutory obligation to retain data in this respect.

Right to restriction of processing:

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

- you are disputing the accuracy of the data for a period that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data,

- the data processing is unlawful, but you oppose erasure and request restriction of data use instead,

- we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data to assert or defend legal claims, or

- you have objected to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability:

You may request that we provide you with the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and that you may transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that

- we process this data on the basis of consent given by you, which may be revoked, or for the performance of a contract between us, and

- this processing is carried out by automated means.

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

Right to object:

If we process your data due to our legitimate interests, 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 processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is for the purposes of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims. You can object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without giving reasons.

Right to lodge a complaint:

If you are of the opinion that we are in breach of German or European data protection law when processing your data, please contact us so that we can resolve any issues. Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority in your jurisdiction, the relevant state office for data protection supervision.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights against us, please contact our data protection officer. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to change our privacy policy if necessary due to new technologies. Please make sure you have the latest version. If fundamental changes are made to this privacy policy, we will announce them on our website.
