Provision of the website and collection of general data and information

Our website collects a series of general data and information every time a user visits the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. It can record (a) the browser types and versions used, (b) the operating system used by the accessing system, (c) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (d) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (e) the date and time of access to the website, (f) the Internet Protocol address (IP address), (g) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (h) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the users. Rather, this information is required in order to (a) deliver the content of our website correctly, (b) to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (c) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (d) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us statistically on the one hand and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

Use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, we can provide users of our website with more user-friendly features that would not be possible without the cookie setting. A cookie can be used to optimise the information and offers on our website in the interests of the user. As mentioned above, cookies allow us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data every time he visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.

Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies).

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Scope of collection and processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we only process personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data is usually only carried out after your consent. An exception applies in cases in which prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

Personal data is collected if you provide it to us voluntarily when registering, subscribing to our newsletter or contacting us via our contact form or by e-mail.

Registration

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties.

As part of the registration process, your consent to the processing of this data will be obtained. Registration is required to provide certain content and services on our website.

Registration is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

You have the option of cancelling the registration at any time. You can have the data stored about you changed at any time. Further information can be found under Rights of the data subject.

Newsletter

On our website there is the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the registration process and reference will be made to this privacy policy. In connection with data processing for the sending of newsletters, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

If you purchase goods or services on our website and provide your e-mail address, this may subsequently be used by us to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for its own similar goods or services. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 para.  3 UWG.

The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.  Further information can be found under Rights of the data subject.

Contact form and e-mail contact

There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If you take advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the process and reference will be made to this privacy policy.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, your personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of communications.

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The other personal data processed during the process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective communication has ended. The communication is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified.

You have the option of withdrawing your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. In such a case, communication cannot be continued.

In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted. Further information can be found under Rights of the data subject.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves us as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in the case of processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of enquiries about our products or services.

If we are subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art.  6 para.  1 lit.  d GDPR as a legal basis.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail.

Deletion and blocking of personal data

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Analytics

We have integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on our website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collection and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

We use the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google will be able to analyse the use of our website. Each time you visit one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enables commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to his or her sphere of influence, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

For more information and Google's applicable privacy policy, please visit https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ explained in more detail under this link.

As an alternative to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent the collection by Google Analytics within this website in the future. This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain, if you delete your cookies in this browser, you will have to click the link again: Disable Google Analytics for this website

Privacy Policy for the Use of Facebook Components

We have integrated components of the social network Facebook into our website, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook").

Every time you access our website that is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from Facebook. This process informs Facebook which specific page of our website you are currently visiting.

The plug-ins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition "Facebook Social Plug-in" or "Facebook Social Plug-in". An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins

When you access a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook's servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the "Like" button or making a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be posted on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plug-ins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the "Facebook Blocker" (http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/ ).

Privacy Policy for the Use of Instagram

We have integrated functions of the Instagram service on our website. These functions are offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA.

If you are logged in to your Instagram account, you can link the content of this offer to your Instagram profile by clicking on the Instagram button. This allows Instagram to assign the visit to this website to your user account. We receive no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram and will inform you according to our state of knowledge. The log data may include your IP address, the address of the websites visited that also contain Instagram features, browser type and settings, date and time of the request, how you use Instagram, and cookies.

To prevent Instagram from associating your visit to our site with your Instagram account, you must log out of your Instagram account before visiting our site.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Instagram, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, can be found in Instagram's privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388.

Privacy Policy for the Use of YouTube

We have integrated components from YouTube on our website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete film and television programmes, as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the Controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting when a subpage containing a YouTube video is accessed. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will always receive information via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google in this way, the data subject can prevent the transfer by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be accessed at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Vimeo

We have integrated components from the provider Vimeo on our website.  Vimeo is a service of Vimeo LCC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

Every time you access our website that is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from Vimeo. If you access our site and are logged in to Vimeo during this time, Vimeo recognizes which specific page you are visiting through the information collected by the component and assigns this information to your personal account with Vimeo. If, for example, you click on the "Play" button or make corresponding comments, this information will be transmitted to your personal user account at Vimeo and stored there. In addition, the information that you have visited our site will be shared with Vimeo. This happens regardless of whether you click/comment on the component or not, for example.

If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behavior on our website by Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our site. Vimeo's privacy policy provides more detailed information, in particular on the collection and use of data by Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/privacy

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Maps

We have integrated the "Google Maps" component of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google" on our website.

Every time the "Google Maps" component is accessed, Google sets a cookie in order to process user settings and data when the subpage on which the "Google Maps" component is integrated is displayed. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted by closing the browser, but expires after a certain period of time, unless it is manually deleted by you beforehand.

If you do not agree to this processing of your data, it is possible to deactivate the "Google Maps" service and thus prevent the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you have to deactivate the Java script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use "Google Maps" or only to a limited extent.

The use of "Google Maps" and the information obtained through "Google Maps" is carried out in accordance with the Google Terms of Service and the Additional Terms and Conditions for "Google Maps":

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions .

We will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where we process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to us processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact us directly. The data subject is also free to exercise his or her right to object to the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

Automated processing on a case-by-case basis, including profiling
Any data subject to the processing of personal data has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him/her, provided that the decision

- is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or

- is permissible on the basis of Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or

- with the express consent of the data subject.

If the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or if it is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the controller, to present its own position and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights in relation to automated decision-making, he or she can contact us at any time.

Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before the revocation.

If the data subject wishes to assert his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she can contact us at any time.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint was lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art.  78 GDPR.
