1. Privacy at a glance

GENERAL INFORMATION

We have written this data protection declaration (version 01/16/2020) in order to explain to you what information we collect in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679   , how we use data and what choices you have as a visitor to this website.

Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible when creating them.

DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

Who is responsible for data collection on this website? The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the imprint of this website.

This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website. What do we use your data for? Part of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data can be used to analyze your user behavior. What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time.

2. General information and mandatory information

PRIVACY

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. If you use this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This data protection declaration explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

NOTICE REGARDING RESPONSIBLE AGENCY

The responsible body for data processing on this website is the website operator named in the imprint. The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

 

WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. An informal message by e-mail to the website operator is sufficient. The legality of the data processing that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

RIGHT OF APPEAL TO THE RELEVANT REGULATORY AUTHORITY

In the event of violations of data protection law, the person concerned has the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which the operator resides. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link:  https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html .

 

SSL resp. TLS ENCRYPTION

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to the site operator, this site uses an SSL or. TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to the site operator cannot be read by third parties.

 

INFORMATION, BLOCKING, DELETION

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.

 

OBJECTION TO ADVERTISING EMAILS

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, such as spam e-mails.

 

3. Data collection on our website

 

COOKIES

Some of the websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you want (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

 

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. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version

  • operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Host name of the accessing computer

  • Time of server request

  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 

CONTACT FORM

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations that took place up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

4. Limitation of Liability for External Links

This website contains links to external websites of third parties. We have no influence on the content of these directly or indirectly linked websites. Therefore, no guarantee can be given for the correctness of the content of the external links. The respective providers or operators (authors) of the pages are responsible for the content of the external links.

The external links were checked for possible legal violations at the time the link was set and were free of illegal content at the time the link was set. A constant review of the content of the external links is not possible without concrete evidence of an infringement. In the case of direct or indirect links to third-party websites for which the operator of this website is not responsible, liability would only exist if the operator of this website became aware of the content and it was possible and reasonable for him to use it to prevent in the case of illegal content.
