Definitions

Our privacy policy should be simple and understandable for everyone. As a rule, the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are used in this privacy policy. The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.

Access to and storage of information in end devices

By using our website, information (e.g. IP address) may be accessed or information (e.g. cookies) may be stored in your end devices. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.

In cases where such access to information or such storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of Section 25 (1) sentence 1, (2) no. 2 TDDDG.

In cases in which such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), this is only carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time for the future. The provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply to the processing of your personal data.

Further information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal bases in this context can be found in the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.

Web hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). This website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH in Germany. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, website access and other data generated via a website.
We collect the data listed in order to ensure a smooth connection to the website and the technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data is absolutely necessary in order to make the website available to you. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the correct presentation and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider in accordance with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we oblige the provider to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.

Server log files

When you visit our website, it is technically necessary for data to be transmitted to our web server via your Internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server:

  • browser types and versions used
  • the operating system used by the accessing system
  • the date and time of access to the website
  • an internet protocol address (IP address)
  • the internet service provider of the accessing system
  • other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.


We collect the data listed in order to ensure a smooth connection to the website and the technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data is absolutely necessary in order to make the website available to you. The log files are used to evaluate system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the protection and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, this data is stored by us for a short period of time. After 30 days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or language settings). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising.

The processing of data through the use of strictly necessary cookies is based on a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the technically error-free provision of our services. For details on the processing purposes and legitimate interests, please refer to the information on the specific data processing.

The processing of personal data through the use of other cookies is based on consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time for the future. Insofar as such cookies are used for analysis and optimization purposes, we will inform you about this separately in the context of this data protection declaration and obtain consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can set your browser so that you 

  • be informed about the setting of cookies,
  • allow cookies only in individual cases,
  • exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general,
  • activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

 

The cookie settings can be managed for the respective browsers under the following links


You can also manage cookies from many companies and functions that are used for advertising individually. To do this, use the corresponding user tools, available at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

Most browsers also offer a so-called “do-not-track function”. If this function is activated, the respective browser informs advertising networks, websites and applications that you do not wish to be “tracked” for the purpose of behavior-based advertising and the like.

For information and instructions on how to edit this function, please refer to the following links, depending on your browser provider:


You can also prevent scripts from loading by default. “NoScript” allows the execution of JavaScripts, Java and other plug-ins only on trusted domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how to edit this function can be obtained from the provider of your browser (e.g. for Mozilla Firefox at: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/noscript/).

Please note that the functionality of our website may be restricted if cookies are deactivated.

Change cookie settings
You can revoke or change your cookie settings at any time. To do this, call up the cookie settings again via this link.
Use of Google Maps

Our website uses the online map service provider Google Maps via an interface. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently. The provider of the map service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address.

Google uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

As it is possible for Google to transfer personal data to affiliated companies and subcontractors in countries outside the EU and the EEA, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR with regard to companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to complying with appropriate data protection standards, which can be viewed at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search

For potential transfers to other third countries outside the EU and the EEA for which there is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission, we have also agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the third country to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.

hCaptcha

We use the hCaptcha service to protect our website from unwanted, automated messages and/or attacks. The service is offered by Intuition Machines, Inc, 350 Alabama St, #10, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. As soon as you click on the “Load Captcha” button, your IP address is transmitted to hCaptcha. We base this on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to be able to protect ourselves from the aforementioned attacks and thus offer a secure website experience.

hCaptcha is a processor for us and does not collect any data in its own name or for its own use. You can find hCaptcha’s privacy policy at https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy.

Contact form and contact by e-mail

If you send us inquiries via the contact form or e-mail, your details from the inquiry form or your e-mail, including the personal data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. It is necessary to provide an e-mail address to contact us; providing your first name, surname and telephone number is voluntary. We will never pass on this data without your consent. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is aimed at concluding a contract. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. In the case of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you can object to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Data transfer and recipients

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties unless

  • if we have explicitly indicated this in the description of the respective data processing
  • if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
  • the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
  • in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR and
  • insofar as this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

We also use external service providers for the processing of our services, which we have carefully selected, commissioned in writing and with whom we have concluded order processing contracts in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR if necessary. These service providers are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. These include service providers for hosting, sending emails, maintenance and servicing of our IT systems, etc. The service providers will not pass this data on to third parties.

Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk. This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content.

Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is based on the relevant statutory retention periods (e.g. from commercial law and tax law). After expiry of the respective period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. If data is required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation or if we have a legitimate interest in further storage, the data will be deleted if it is no longer required for these purposes or if you have exercised your right of revocation or objection.
