Usage, Transfer and Deletion of Personal Data

Server Log Files

When you visit our website or use our services the device used for accessing the site automatically transmits log data (connection data) to our servers. The relevant information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the amount of data transmitted, the browser and its version number, the domain names of your internet provider, the referrer URL, which is the website you visited before switching to our website, and the corresponding IP address. This collection is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

The data collected are used exclusively for evaluating the data statistically to ensure operation and safety and to optimise processing of the offer. For security grounds, however, we reserve the right to inspect log files retroactively if we have sufficient grounds to suspect illegal usage. These data are deleted after 7 days at the latest.

Cookies

In several areas of the website we use so-called “cookies”, for example to identify the preferences of the users and thus to optimally design the website. This allows for easier navigation and a high degree of user-friendliness of the website.

Cookies are small files which are stored on the visitor’ s hard disk drive. Most cookies used on the website are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies stay on your devices until you delete them. The cookies make it possible for your browser to be recognized the next time you visit.

You can change the properties of your browser so that it informs you of the placement of cookies. In this way, the use of cookies is made transparent. If you fully oppose the use of cookies you may not be able to use individual functions of this website. The use of cookies presents a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR.

Contact Form

When sending us an enquiry using the contact form, your personal details are saved for processing the enquiry and any related follow-up questions in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. This data is not passed on to third parties without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form remain with us until you request that they be deleted, you withdraw your consent to the storage of your data, or the purpose of the data storage is no longer given (i.e. after the successful processing of your request).

Security of Your Data

We deploy technical and organisational security measures to adequately protect the data that you have made available to us from being unintentionally or intentionally manipulated, lost, destroyed or accessed by unauthorised persons. Therefore, we are using SSL encryption for the transmission of confidential content e.g. enquires which you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection can be recognised when the web address changes from "http://" to "https://" and a padlock symbol is shown in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is activated, the data which you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Our security measures are kept up-to-date.

Google Analytics

This website uses the functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. It is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files which are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse your use of the website. The information about your use of the website generated by the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield programme, thereby guaranteeing compliance with the European data protection regulations (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Deletion of the user and results data takes place after 14, 26, 38, 50 months.

IP Anonymisation

We have activated an IP anonymisation function on this website. Through this, Google shortens your IP address prior to its transfer to the USA provided that you are within a member states of the European Union or in another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional circumstances only, the full IP address is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this data on behalf of the website operator to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide other website services related to website and internet usage on behalf of the website provider. Your IP address, collected in the context of Google Analytics, is not combined with other data provided by Google.

Order Processing

We have entered into a data processing contract with Google and we strictly apply the regulations of the supervisory authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographics in Google Analytics

This website uses the demographics function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be compiled with information regarding the age, gender, and interests of the website visitors. These data stem from targeted Google advertising, as well as from the user data of third parties. These data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You are able at any time to deactivate this feature in the display settings of your Google account or generally forbid the collection of your data via Google Analytics as stated in point “Objection Against Data Collection”.

Contents and Services of Third Parties

Based on the legitimate interest of the provider, a situation can arise where contents, services and benefits of third parties are integrated which complement our service offerings. Examples of this are maps from Google Maps and links to external websites. When using these services, the respective provider may recognise and store your user IP address. We are committed to integrating only third-party services which use IP addresses solely to provide their contents. However, we have no control as to whether a third party logs IP addresses for example for statistical purposes. With respect to the starting of websites which are accessed through this website, this Privacy Statement does not regulate the collection, the transfer or the use of personal data by third parties. In this regard, please also pay attention to the individual privacy statements of the respective third-party providers and service providers to which we link on our website.

Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Within the framework of the services, information on the use of our website are transferred to Google servers. You can prevent this data transfer, if you deactivate “javascript” in your browser properties. In this case the browser may not be able to display maps. Detailed information can be found in the Data Privacy Centre under google.com: Transparency and choice http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/ and data privacy provisionshttp://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy/privacy-policy.html Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield programme, thereby guaranteeing compliance with the European data protection regulations (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Objection to Advertising Email

In the context of the legal obligation to provide imprint information, we must publish our contact details. This is partially used by third parties for the sending of unwanted advertisements and information. We object to the sending of advertising material of any kind not expressly authorized by us. We explicitly reserve the right to take legal action against unwanted and unrequested sending of advertising material. This applies especially for so-called spam mails, spam letters and spam faxes. We point out that the unauthorised transmission of advertising material can have competitive-juridical, civil and criminal rights consequences. Especially spam mails and spam faxes can lead to high claims for damages when they disrupt the smooth business operation by overfilling email inboxes or blocking fax lines.

When requested in writing, we are legally obliged (Art. 12 GDPR) to inform you of any personal data which are stored with us. In addition, you have the right of rectification of incorrect data, the right of data portability, the right to block and delete your personal data, to the extent that no legal data retention requirements exist, and the right to restrict data processing as well as the right of objection. In addition, you have the right to complain to the authorities according to Art. 13 Sec. 2 (d) GDPR.
