Access data (server log files)

When you visit our website, we automatically collect and store access data in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  1. Browser type and browser version of your PC
  2. Operating system used by your PC
  3. Referrer URL (source/reference from which you came to our website)
  4. Host name of the accessing computer
  5. Date and time of the server request
  6. The IP address currently used by your PC (possibly in anonymised form)

As a rule, it is not possible for us to identify you personally, nor is it our intention to do so. Such data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Cookies

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Cookies cannot execute any programmes or transmit viruses to your computer system.

Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic communications transaction or to provide certain functions you want to use, are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of our services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) should be stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Policy.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called ‘session cookies.’ They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.

You can adjust the settings on your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies in certain cases or generally exclude them and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

We use the ‘Real Cookie Banner’ consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the associated consents. You can find details on how ‘Real Cookie Banner’ works at

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the administration of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

Polylang is a multilingual system for WordPress websites to publish the website in several languages and thus make it accessible to a larger number of users. Cookies or cookie-like technologies can be stored and read. These can store the user’s selected language and redirect the user to the version of the website that matches the browser language. The legitimate interest in using this service is to store the user’s language in order to deliver the content in the correct language.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

§ 1

Web analysis tools and advertising

1.1 Google Analytics

Our website uses the web analysis service Google Analytics in the version Google Analytics 4. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’).

Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of our website by you. In Google Analytics, all data from devices located in the EU (based on the geographic location according to the IP address) is collected via domains and servers in the EU before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is the consent you have given via the cookie consent tool in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR.

a) IP anonymisation

The IP anonymisation function is automatically activated on the website for Google Analytics. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the EU or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to us relating to website activity and internet usage. According to Google, no IP addresses are logged or stored in Google Analytics, but only processed briefly for geo-localisation and deleted immediately afterwards. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

b) Contract data processing

We have entered into a contract data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

c) Storage duration

Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is deleted after 2 months. You can find details on this at the following link:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de.

d) Right of withdrawal

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke consent to the processing of data in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings and changing your selection there. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by a withdrawal.

For more information about how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Further information on data protection can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps map service provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’) via an API (Application Programming Interface).

To ensure data protection on our website, Google Maps is disabled when you visit our website for the first time. A direct connection to Google’s servers is only established when you activate Google Maps yourself (consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). This prevents your data from being transferred to Google when you first visit our website.

After activation, Google Maps will store your IP address. This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer after activating Google Maps.

For more information on how user data is handled, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Contact form

If you contact us by email or using a contact form, the data transmitted, including your contact details, will be stored so that we can process your enquiry or be available to answer any follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the data is no longer necessary. Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to check and prevent automated servers, such as bots, from interacting with our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: Google).

This service allows Google to determine from which website a request has been sent and from which IP address the reCAPTCHA input box is used. In addition to your IP address, Google may collect other information necessary to provide and guarantee this service.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in the prevention of unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar.

Google Fonts

Google Fonts enables the integration of fonts into websites to improve the website without having to install the fonts on your device. This requires the processing of the user’s IP address and metadata. No cookies or cookie-like technologies are set on the user’s client. The data may be used to track the websites visited and may be used to improve Google’s services. They may also be used for profiling purposes, e.g. to offer you personalised services, such as advertising based on your interests or recommendations. Google makes personal information available to its affiliates and other trusted companies or persons who process the information for them based on Google’s instructions and in accordance with Google’s privacy policy.

Elementor

Elementor enables the design of the layout of this website to make it more appealing and user-friendly. The collected data is not used for analysis purposes, but only to ensure that, for example, hidden elements are not displayed again when several active sessions are running. Cookies or cookie-like technologies can be stored and read. These are used to store the number of page views and active sessions of the user. The legitimate interest in the use of this service lies in the simple and user-friendly implementation of the layouts used.

Type and extent of processing

We use Bunny Fonts from BunnyWay d.o.o., Škofjeloška cesta 13 1215, Medvode, Slovenia as a service to provide fonts for our online offering. To obtain these fonts, you connect to BunnyWay d.o.o.’s servers, through which your IP address is transmitted.

WordPress Emojis

WordPress Emojis is an emoji set that is loaded from wordpress.org when an old browser is used that would not be able to display emojis without the integration of the service. This requires processing the user’s IP address and metadata. No cookies or cookie-like technologies are set on the user’s client. Cookies or cookie-like technologies may be stored and read. These contain the test result and the date of the last test to determine whether the browser can display emojis.

Privacy policy of the provider: https://de.wordpress.org/about/privacy/

Use and disclosure of data

We will not sell or otherwise market the personal data that you provide to us, e.g. by email (e.g. your name and address or your email address), to third parties. Your personal data will only be processed for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you provided us with the data. For the processing of payments, we will forward your payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment.

The use of data that is automatically collected when you visit our website is only for the purposes mentioned above. The data will not be used in any other way.

We assure you that we will not pass on your personal data to third parties, unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given us your prior consent.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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 you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

§ 2

Storage period

Personal data that has been communicated to us via our website is only stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled. Insofar as commercial and tax law retention periods are to be observed, the storage period for certain data may be up to 10 years.

§ 3

Rights of the data subject

With regard to personal data concerning you, as the data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the data controller in accordance with the statutory provisions:

3.1 Right of revocation

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke consent that you have given for the processing of data in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes shall not be affected by a withdrawal.

3.2 Right of access

Pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed. If such processing is taking place, you have the right to request information about the personal data concerning you that we are processing, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, lodging a complaint with a supervisory authority, the source of your data if it was not collected by us from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed of the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR for the transfer of your data to third countries.

3.3 Right to rectification

You have the right, in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to request the immediate rectification of incorrect personal data concerning you and/or the completion of your incomplete data.

3.4 Right to erasure

You have the right, in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, to request the erasure of your personal data if one of the following reasons applies:

a) Your personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.

b) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a or Art. 9 (2) a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) You object to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you object to the processing in accordance with Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

d) The personal data has been processed unlawfully.

e) the personal data has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which we are subject.

f) the personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR. However, this right does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

a) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;

b) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;

c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9(2) as well as Article 9(3) GDPR;

d) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(3) of the GDPR in so far as the right of the data subject is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or

e) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If we have made your personal data public and we are obliged to delete it in accordance with the above, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform those responsible for data processing who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to your personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

3.5 Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing (blocking) of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

a) If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

b) If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

c) If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.

d) If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. While it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the EU or a member state.

3.6 Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom your personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed about those recipients upon request.

3.7 Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling

In accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

This shall not apply if the decision

a) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and us,

b) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or

c) with your explicit consent. However, the decisions in the cases mentioned in (a) to (c) must not be based on special categories of personal data according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a or lit. g applies and appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we will implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

3.8 Right to data portability

If the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us to the extent this is technically feasible.

3.9 Right to object

If we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this data protection declaration. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling reasons for the processing worthy of protection, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection according to art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO).

Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

You have the option, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

3.10 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77

GDPR

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.
