Access data / Server log files
When you visit our website, the browser used by you on your device will automatically send information to our website’s server. This information shall be temporarily stored in a log file. The following information will be collected here without any action on your part and stored until it is deleted automatically:
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website.
We use cookies to make our website user-friendly (e.g. so that it recognises you when you visit our website again and you do not need to re-enter your data) as well as for statistical purposes in order to improve the website.
The data processed by cookies is required for the purposes mentioned above to safeguard our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties as per Art. 6 Para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Most of the temporary cookies used by us (so-called “session cookies”) shall be deleted automatically from your device once you leave our website or close the browser. The other cookies shall remain on your computer system and allow us to recognise you the next time you visit our website (permanent cookies).
Most browsers accept cookies by default. However, you can configure your browser such that no cookies are stored on your computer or you are notified every time a new cookie is created. Alternatively, you can install a cookie blocker as a browser add-on, e.g. Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com/). However, if you disable cookies entirely, you may not be able to use all the features of our website.
Getting in touch
When you contact us by filling out our online contact form, via e-mail or telephone, it is necessary to provide us with your name and e-mail address so that we can process and reply to your query. You can choose to provide us with any further information. The data transmitted when you contact us shall be used solely for processing your query. The legal bases for data processing are Art. 6 Para. 1 sent. 1 lit. b of the GDPR, provided that the data is processed for taking steps prior to entering into a contract and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR based on your consent. The personal data collected here shall be deleted as soon as it is no longer required and there is no legal obligation to store your data.
Disclosure of personal data
As a rule, we do not disclose personal data to third parties, unless
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (hereinafter “Google”). Google Analytics is used to analyse the use of our website, improve it regularly and thus operate it more efficiently. We can improve our website with the help of the statistics received and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for data processing here is Art. 6 Para. 1 sent. 1 lit. f GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the analysis, optimisation and efficient operation of our website, and it is necessary to process the data in order to safeguard this interest.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and allow us to analyse how you use our 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. This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” so that IP addresses are only processed further in abbreviated form to prevent them being linked to a particular individual. Your full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA in cases of exception and then abbreviated there.
In such a case of exception where the personal data is transmitted to the USA, Google complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield and must therefore follow the European data protection law: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.
Google shall use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on website activities and provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the operator of this website. Pseudonymous user profiles of the users can be created from the data processed here. Google will not associate the IP address transmitted by your browser when using Google Analytics with any other data held by Google.
You can prevent the cookies from being stored by changing your browser settings. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use all the features of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent data generated by cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the following browser plug-in (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
The personal data of the website visitor that is processed here by Google Analytics shall be deleted or anonymised after 14 months.
