Privacy policy

Thank you for visiting our website. In the following, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/German: DSGVO).

Controller

The controller responsible for the described data collection and processing is named in the imprint.

User data

When you visit our websites, so-called usage data is temporarily stored on our web server for statistical purposes as a log in order to improve the quality of our websites. This data set consists of:

  • the name and address of the requested content,
  • the date and time of the query,
  • the amount of data transferred,
  • the access status (content transferred, content not found),
  • the description of the web browser and operating system used,
  • the referral link, which indicates from which page you have reached ours,
  • the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened so that a personal reference can no longer be established.

The aforementioned log data is only evaluated anonymously. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the aforementioned data processing. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the provision of a website and thus serves to protect a legitimate interest of our company.

Data security

In order to protect your data from unwanted access as comprehensively as possible, we take technical and organisational measures. We use an encryption procedure on our pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using TLS encryption. You can recognise this by the fact that the lock symbol is closed in the status bar of your browser and the address line starts with https://.

Storage of the IP address for security purposes

As soon as the aforementioned data is no longer required to display the website, it is deleted. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object. Further storage may take place in individual cases if required by law. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Anonymous visitor measurement

We carry out anonymous visitor measurement on our websites. For this purpose, the log data of the web server and the shortened IP address are evaluated. It is not possible to draw any conclusions about your person.

You may have the option of contacting us via our contact form. To use our contact form, we first need the data marked as mandatory fields from you.

We use this data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to answer your enquiry.

We process your voluntary information on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Your data will only be processed to respond to your enquiry. We delete your data if it is no longer required and there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary.

Insofar as your data transmitted via the contact form is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you can object to the processing at any time.

You have the right to request the correction of any inaccurate personal data relating to you and, where applicable, the completion of any incomplete data without delay.
