Purposes of data processing by the responsible party and third parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for any purposes other than those stated. We only share your personal data with third parties if:

  • you have given your explicit consent,
  • processing is necessary to carry out a contract with you,
  • processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation,

processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.

Deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. Therefore, we only store your personal data as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various retention periods prescribed by law. After the respective purpose ceases to apply or these periods expire, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

Provision of chargeable services

To provide paid services, we request additional data from you, such as payment information, to be able to process your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods corresponding to the current state of technology (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.

Contact form

If you contact us by email or contact form with any questions, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. For this, providing a valid email address is required. This serves to assign the inquiry and to respond to it. Providing additional data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. After your inquiry has been completed, personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

The purposes of data processing are to analyze the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the internet, further related services are then to be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website fully. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add-On to Disable Google Analytics.

In addition to or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. This installs an opt-out cookie on your device. This prevents data collection by Google Analytics for this website and this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors' use of the map functions. More information about data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy . There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center.

Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube Videos

On some of our websites, we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the respective plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube's servers. YouTube is informed about which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can personally assign your browsing behavior to you. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Those who have disabled cookie storage for the Google Ad program will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block cookie storage in your browser.

More information about data protection on "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social Plugins

We offer you the option to use so-called "social media buttons" on our website. To protect your data, we use the "Shariff" solution for implementation. This means these buttons are only embedded as graphics on the website, which contain a link to the respective button provider's website. By clicking the graphic, you will be redirected to the services of the respective providers. Only then will your data be sent to the respective providers. If you do not click the graphic, no exchange takes place between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in social networks can be found in the respective providers' terms of use. More information about the Shariff solution can be found here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of executing the withdrawal and the associated communication. The data is only stored as long as necessary for processing the withdrawal and complying with legal retention obligations.
