Privacy policy

Protection and Security of Personal Data

The protection and security of personal data is a high priority for us. Therefore, we strictly adhere to the rules of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Below, you will be informed about the type of data collected and the purpose for which it is collected.

Data Transmission / Data Logging

When visiting this website, the web server automatically records log files that cannot be assigned to a specific person. These data include, for example, the browser type and version, the operating system used, the referrer URL (the previously visited page), the IP address of the requesting computer, the date and time of the server request, and the file request of the client (file name and URL). These data are collected solely for statistical evaluation purposes. No transfer to third parties, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes, takes place.

Use of Personal Data

Personal data is only collected or processed if you voluntarily provide this information, e.g., in the context of an inquiry. If there are no necessary reasons related to a business transaction, you can revoke your previously granted permission for the storage of your personal data at any time with immediate effect in writing (e.g., by email or fax). Your data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is required by legal regulations.

Access, Modification, and Deletion of Your Data

According to applicable law, you can inquire in writing at any time whether and which personal data about you is stored by us. You will receive a corresponding notification immediately.

Security of Your Data

Your personal data provided to us will be secured by taking all technical and organizational security measures to ensure that they are inaccessible to unauthorized third parties. For the transmission of very sensitive data or information, it is recommended to use the postal service, as complete data security via email cannot be guaranteed.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

Under the contact details of our data protection officer, you can exercise the following rights at any time:

• Access to your data stored with us and its processing,

• Correction of inaccurate personal data,

• Deletion of your data stored with us,

• Restriction of data processing if we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,

• Objection to the processing of your data with us, and

• Data portability, provided you have consented to data processing or have concluded a contract with us.

If you have given us your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

You can always contact the relevant supervisory authority with a complaint. The competent supervisory authority depends on your state of residence, your work, or the alleged violation. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Note on Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer, allowing an analysis of your website usage. 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.
More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

IP Anonymization

We use the "IP anonymization activation" feature on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Data Processing Agreement

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

However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Cookies

We use "session cookies" on some of our pages to facilitate your use of our website. These are small text files that are only stored on your hard drive for the duration of your visit to our website and are deleted when you close your browser. These cookies do not retrieve any information about you stored on your hard drive and do not affect your computer or files. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically.

• Hostname of the accessing computer

• Time of the server request

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. These data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data subsequently if concrete indications of illegal use become known.

Online Presence in Social Media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, prospects, and users active there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

We will update these guidelines to protect your personal data from time to time. You should occasionally review these guidelines to stay informed about how we protect your data and continuously improve the content of our website. If we make significant changes to the collection, use, and/or disclosure of the personal data you provide, we will notify you by a clear and prominent notice on the website.
