COLLECTION AND STORAGE OF PERSONAL DATA WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE AND THE TYPE AND PURPOSE OF ITS USE

You can visit our website without telling us who you are. Our web servers automatically store information of a general nature. When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.
When you use the website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:
– IP address of the requesting computer,
– Date and time of the request,
– Name and URL of the file accessed,
– Website from which the request originates (referrer URL),
– Browser used,
– Operating system, name of your access provider, if applicable,
– Language and version of the browser software.
We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
– Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
– Ensuring comfortable use of our website,
– Evaluating system security and stability, and
– for other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR follows from the purposes of data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. (2) Our website or web pages sometimes use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. You will find more detailed explanations on this below in section VII of this privacy policy.

VII. USE OF COOKIES

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans, or other malware.
Information relating to the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we immediately become aware of your identity.
The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically recognize that you have already been with us and what entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again. The data processed by cookies is necessary for the purposes mentioned to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notification always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely disabling cookies may result in you being unable to use all the features of our website.

VIII. STORAGE PERIOD AND DATA DELETION

Your personal data will be deleted in particular as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. The data will then be deleted unless storage is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation that requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. Such a legal obligation is represented by the statutory retention obligations, which are, for example, 10 years (for accounting and payroll data) or 6 years (for commercial correspondence). During the period of the retention obligations, the data will be blocked and deleted after the expiry of this period.

IX. CONTACT AND COMMUNICATION

If you have any questions, we offer you the option of contacting us via a form provided on the website. You must provide a valid email address so that we know who sent the inquiry and can respond to it. Further information can be provided voluntarily. Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent. The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after your request has been processed.
On our website, you can also enter the personal data specified in the input fields provided for the purpose of corresponding with us.
This data will only be processed for correspondence with you and for the purpose for which you have provided us with the data in the context of this communication, e.g. to process your enquiries or to contact you at your request. In this case, the processing of personal data is carried out with your consent and is then permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. We will delete your data in this regard once the purpose for which you provided us with your data has been fulfilled or completed and we are not entitled or obliged to store it further for legal reasons.

X. OTHER PROCESSING BASED ON A LEGITIMATE INTEREST

Where necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfillment of a contract concluded with you or consent given by you in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, unless a weighing of interests in individual cases shows that your legitimate fundamental rights and freedoms requiring the protection of personal data prevail (cf. Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) . This may include:
• Advertising, provided you have not objected to the use of your data;
• Asserting legal claims and defending against legal disputes;
• Ensuring IT security and IT operations;
• Preventing and investigating criminal offenses;
• Measures for business management and the further development of services and products.

XI. CONSENT

Any further processing of your personal data will only take place if you have given us your consent and we are therefore entitled to process your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In some areas of our website, you have the option of giving such express consent. In each case, we will inform you of the purpose for which the data will be processed if you give your consent and how long we will store this personal data.

XII. OBJECTION OR WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Such withdrawal affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have notified us of your withdrawal.
(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary in particular for the fulfillment of a contract with you, which is presented by us in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate reasons for continuing the processing.
(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time.

XIV. SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG - INS

On the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, we use social media plug-ins from the social networks Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on our website to promote our company. The underlying advertising purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. The respective provider is responsible for ensuring that the plug-ins are operated in compliance with data protection regulations. We integrate these plug-ins using the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website as best as possible.

Our website uses social media plug-ins from Facebook to make its use more personal. For this purpose, we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. This is a service offered by Facebook.
When you visit a page on 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 directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. By integrating the plug-in, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information, including your IP address, is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. by clicking the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
Facebook may use this information for advertising, market research, and to tailor Facebook pages to your needs. To this end, Facebook creates usage, interest, and relationship profiles, e.g., to evaluate your use of our website in relation to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of Facebook.
If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected through our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” or “Google Invisible reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter ‘reCAPTCHA’) on our website. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether the data entered on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is entered by a human or by an automated program.

This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. reCAPTCHA evaluates various information for the analysis (e.g., IP address, length of time the website visitor stays on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated scraping and spam.

However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent cookies from being stored, you can set this in your browser.

We also use SSL or TLS encryption (SSL = Secure Sockets Layer; TLS = Transport Layer Security; SSL is the previous name for TLS) during your visit to our website. You can tell whether a specific page of our website is being transmitted securely by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://,” and also by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.
