Data Protection Measures

We secure our website and other systems and thus your data through technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, alteration or dissemination by unauthorized persons. In particular, your personal data is transmitted encrypted via the Internet. We use the TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption system. However, the transmission of information via the Internet is never completely secure, which is why we cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted from our website with 100% certainty.

Types, Purpose and Storage Duration of Data, Legal Bases

Server Log Files

Each time you access our website, the following general information is automatically transmitted from your browser to our server (so-called server log files): IP address, product and version information about the browser and operating system used, the website from which your access occurred (so-called referrer), date and time of the request and possibly your Internet Service Provider. The status and data transferred in the course of this request are also recorded.

Your computer's IP address is only stored for the duration of your use of the website and is then immediately deleted or made partially unidentifiable by truncation. The remaining data is stored for a limited period (maximum 7 days). The legal basis for the use of server log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from the need to operate our website, in particular to identify and fix website errors, to determine website load, to make adjustments or improvements and to ensure system security.

Contact Form / Contact via Email

Our website contains a contact form that can be used for electronic contact. If you contact us via the contact form, we process the data you provide in the contact form to contact you and to answer your questions and requests.

The principle of data minimization and data avoidance is observed, in that you only need to provide the data that we absolutely need from you to contact you. These are your email address and the message field itself. Your IP address is also processed for technical necessity and legal protection. All other data is voluntary and can be provided optionally (e.g. for more individual answering of your questions).

If you contact us by email, we will process the personal data communicated in the email solely for the purpose of processing your request. If you do not use the forms offered for contact, no further data collection will take place. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(a) and (b) GDPR.

Cookies

We use so-called "cookies" to improve user-friendliness on our website. Simply put, a cookie is a small text file that stores data about visited websites. Cookies store a kind of "user profile", such as your preferred language and other page settings, which are required by our website to provide you with certain services. This file is stored on your computer by our website and helps to recognize you when you visit our website again. Through cookies, we also receive information about your preferred activities on our website and can tailor our website to your individual interests and accelerate the speed of processing your requests.

You can delete cookies at any time in your browser's security settings. However, you can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. Please note, however, that you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website in this case.

If you only want to accept our own cookies, but not cookies from our data processors, you can prevent the storage of these cookies by setting "Block third-party cookies".

The legal basis for the use of cookies is generally Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from our need to provide you with a user-friendly website. For the types of cookies listed below, more specific legal bases may apply.

Data Processing

Disclosure of Data, Data Processor Agreements

You have consented to the disclosure of data, or

We are authorized or obligated to disclose data due to 2.1 legal provisions or 2.2 official or court orders.

This may in particular involve the provision of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, hazard prevention or the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

In this case, the data processor is contractually obligated in accordance with Article 28 GDPR, which means in particular that the data processor must provide sufficient guarantees that appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented so that the processing is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR and the protection of your rights as a data subject is ensured.

Data Transmission to Third Countries Outside the EU

Third-Party Services

Google Maps

Our website uses the external map service "Google Maps" from Google. Google Maps serves to provide an interactive map on our website that shows you how you can find and reach us. This service allows us to present our website attractively by loading map material from an external server. The required data is usually requested from a Google server in the USA. Through this request, the following information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there for several months: the website of ours that you visited and the IP address of your device. The legal basis for the processing of your data in relation to the "Google Maps" service is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from our need to present our online offering attractively and to easily find the locations specified on our homepage.

YouTube

Our website uses YouTube videos stored at https://www.youtube.com and are directly playable from our website. These are all embedded in "enhanced privacy mode", which means that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube unless you play the videos. Only when you play the videos are the data mentioned below transmitted. We have no influence on this data transmission.

By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the association with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for non-logged-in users) to provide needs-appropriate advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must exercise this against YouTube.

The legal basis for the processing of your data in relation to the "YouTube" service is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from our need to present our online offering attractively.

Our website also contains - clearly recognizable - links to the Internet sites of other companies. Where links to websites of other providers exist, we have no influence over their contents. Therefore, no warranty or liability can be assumed for these contents. The respective provider or operator of the sites is always responsible for the contents of these pages.

The linked pages were checked at the time of linking for possible legal violations and identifiable legal infringements. Unlawful contents were not evident at the time of linking. However, permanent content control of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. Upon becoming aware of legal violations, such links will be removed immediately.

Amendment of Data Protection Provisions

We reserve the right to occasionally adjust our data protection provisions so that they always correspond to current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration.
