Scope of application:
With this privacy policy, we want to explain how, to what extent and for what purpose we collect, store and use data. The Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG) form the legal framework for data protection.
Collecting general information
When you access our website, general information is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver content requested by you from websites and is mandatory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this type is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data, such as IP address, browser used, operating system about your computer and your connection to the Internet. Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make it easier for you to navigate and display our website correctly.
In no case will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent. Of course, you can also view our website without cookies in principle. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings.
Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual features of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.
Using Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the 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. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will abbreviate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by clicking on the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) Download and install the available browser plug-in.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website: Deactivate Google Analytics
You can find more information about terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/ We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics includes the code “gat. _anonymizeIp ();” was extended to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on our website. The operator of the corresponding plug-ins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
Anyone who has deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google ad program will not have to reckon with such cookies even when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block cookies from being saved in the browser.
Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Hosting via Webflow
Our website is hosted by Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Webflow”). When you visit our website, connection data is automatically collected, which is necessary for technical operation and security. In particular, this includes:
- IP address
- date and time of the request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code
- amount of data transferred in each case
- website from which the request comes
- Browser type, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software
Webflow temporarily stores this data in so-called log files and automatically deletes it. Processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, as it is necessary for the operation and security of the website.
Webflow also processes some of the data on servers in the USA. For transfers to the USA, we rely on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. For more information, please see Webflow's privacy policy: https://webflow.com/legal/privacy
Contact form
If you send us an inquiry via our contact form, the data you enter (e.g. name, email address, telephone number, content of the message) will be processed for the purpose of processing your request.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contract initiation or fulfilment), insofar as your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), provided that you have given this consent.
The data you enter in the form will remain with us until the purpose of data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed) or you withdraw your consent. Statutory storage periods remain unaffected.
Since the form is technically provided via Webflow's infrastructure, the data is also processed on their servers as part of this use. This may result in a transfer to the USA. The legal basis for this is the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses.
SSL encryption
This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data that you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Comment function
If comments or other contributions are written and published on our website, we save the IP address, user name and time of creation. This data is collected for security reasons, as the provider can be prosecuted for illegal content (prohibited propaganda, insults, etc.), even if it was created by a third party. In such a case, the information is used to determine the identity of the author.
Newsletters
If you sign up for our newsletter or to receive monthly reports, we will use the data you have entered exclusively for this purpose or to inform you of the circumstances relevant to this service or registration. To send the relevant newsletters and reports, we use an external service provider who receives the necessary data only for the purpose of sending emails and may not use it for other purposes.
As part of recipient statistics, we record and save whether and when newsletters or reports are opened and links contained therein are used. This data will not be passed on. A valid email address is required to receive the newsletter or monthly reports. The IP address that you use to sign up for the newsletter and the date on which you subscribe to the newsletter are also stored. This data serves as proof of misuse if someone else's email address is signed up for the newsletter. In addition, to ensure that an email address is not misused by third parties in our mailing list, we work in accordance with the law using the so-called “double opt-in” procedure. As part of this procedure, the subscription to the newsletter, the sending of the confirmation email and the receipt of the registration confirmation are recorded.
You have the option to withdraw your consent to the storage of data, your e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time. To cancel, we provide you with a link in every newsletter and on the website. You also have the option of notifying us of your withdrawal request via the contact options listed in this document.
Deletion or blocking of data
We comply with the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose ceases to exist or these deadlines have expired, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with legal requirements.
Your rights to information, correction, suspension, deletion and objection
You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to correct, block or, apart from the mandatory data storage for business transactions, delete your personal data. Please contact us about this. The contact details can be found at the top of this page.
So that a data lock can be taken into account at any time, this data must be kept in a lock file for control purposes. You can also request that the data be deleted unless there is a legal archiving obligation. If there is such an obligation, we will block your data upon request.
You can make changes or withdraw your consent by notifying us accordingly with effect for the future.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. 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
Data portability
You have the right to data portability, provided that the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided that this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons: You can demand from us to receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the right to transfer this data to another person responsible without hindrance from us. As far as technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your personal data directly to another person responsible.
Amendment to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time so that it always meets current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
