We would therefore like to take this opportunity to inform you about the personal data we collect when you visit our website and the purposes for which it is used.

What is this about?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This includes all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior when visiting a website. Information that we cannot relate to your person (or only with disproportionate effort), e.g., through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g., collection, retrieval, use, storage, or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Who receives my data?

We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g., consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In addition, we pass on personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

If we use service providers to operate our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more detailed information on the use of order processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that we send to the browser of your device and store there when you visit our website. As an alternative to using cookies, information can also be stored in your browser’s local storage. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses so that, for example, we are able to recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and transmit various information to us (non-necessary cookies). Cookies enable us, among other things, to make our website more user-friendly and effective for you by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g., country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information about the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you as the data subject have the following rights:

  • Information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information about the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
  • Rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR of inaccurate or incomplete data stored by us;
  • Deletion pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims;
  • Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you refuse to have it deleted because you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
  • Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and this data has been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or we will transmit the data directly to another controller, if this is technically feasible.
  • Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is based on Art. 6 (1) (e), (f) GDPR and there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not apply if compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If the right to object does not apply to individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
  • Withdrawal pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR of your consent with effect for the future.
  • Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work, or our company headquarters.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing is carried out to protect our overriding legitimate interest in displaying our website and ensuring security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Insofar as further storage of the log files is required by law, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, but it is technically impossible to access our website without providing the data.
