Data collection and processing

Every access to our website and every retrieval of a file stored on the website is logged. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes.

To be logged:

  • Name of the retrieved file,
  • Date and time of retrieval,
  • volume of data transferred,
  • Message about successful retrieval,
  • operating system used,
  • Browser and browser type,
  • the Internet page from which was redirected,
  • the Internet service provider,
  • visited pages and
  • requesting domain.

In addition, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged. However, the responsible party does not draw any conclusions about a person.

This data is only required to display the content of our website correctly, to optimize the content for you on a permanent basis and to support prosecutions in the event of hacker attacks. The data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. The processing of the data is necessary for the operation of the website.

The data is stored as long as it is needed to fulfill the purpose and then automatically deleted.

Data subject rights

According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to information about the processing of your personal data.

In addition, you are free to exercise your rights to rectification, erasure or, if erasure is not possible, restriction of processing and data portability in accordance with Articles 16-18, 20 GDPR. Should you wish to exercise this right, please contact our data protection officer.

Furthermore, you have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority at any time. If you are of the opinion that your personal data is not being processed in compliance with data protection laws, we would kindly ask you to contact our data protection officer.

Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time.

Protection of the stored data

We use technical and organizational security measures in order to protect the personal data you have made available to us from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved and adapted according to the state of the art. It cannot be ruled out that data transmitted by you without encryption can be viewed by third parties during transmission. It is pointed out that with regard to data transmission via the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) no conclusive secure transmission can be guaranteed. Sensitive data should therefore either not be transmitted at all or only via a secure connection (SSL) over the Internet.

Protection of minors

Consent to the processing of personal data can only be given by a person of legal age. For information society services, the consent of a child is permissible from the age of sixteen in accordance with Art. 8 GDPR.

E-mail contact, telephone and fax

On our website, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In addition, you can contact us via the telephone or fax number provided on the website. If you make use of these options, the personal data transmitted in the process will be stored and only collected and processed for the purpose of handling and answering your inquiry.

A transfer of the personal data provided by you to a third country or an international organization does not take place and is not planned.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Newsletter with success measurement

Insofar as you order our electronic newsletter, your personal data will be processed for the purpose of regularly sending our newsletter on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR. The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter.

The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with foreign e-mail addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise, the changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider are logged.

In case of non-consent, it is unfortunately not possible for us to provide you with our newsletter. Automated decision-making is not carried out.

The newsletters contain a so-called tracking pixel, i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the dispatch service provider when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. The statistical surveys also include the determination of whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information is anonymized, a conclusion to your e-mail address is not possible. The evaluations serve us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Your personal data will be forwarded to:
rapidmail GmbH
Wentzingerstraße 21
79106 Freiburg im Breisgau

External service providers are integrated as order processors (Art. 28 GDPR) in compliance with data protection regulations.

A transfer of the personal data provided by you to a third country or an international organization does not take place and is not planned.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

Your personal data, which you provide to us in the context of ordering the newsletter, will be stored by us until you revoke your consent to receive the newsletter and will be removed from the distribution list after you unsubscribe.

Cookies

Technically necessary cookies (session cookies)

On our website, we use technical cookies to make the website more user-friendly. In order to use the full functionality of our website, it is therefore necessary for technical reasons to allow session cookies.

The purpose of using such cookies is to enable you to use the website in a simplified and more user-friendly way. Therefore, it is necessary that the browser can identify you even after a page change.

The data is not used to create a user profile of you. The legal basis for the use of technical cookies is Section 25 (2) TTDSG. It is not possible to use the website without session cookies.

Cookies for evaluation (tracking cookies)

In addition to the use of technical cookies, tracking cookies are used on this website. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. However, these collect and store data only in pseudonymous form. They are not used to identify you personally and are not merged with data about the bearer of the pseudonym. We use this information to determine the attractiveness of our website and to continuously improve its content.

The legal basis for the use of tracking cookies is your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

You can adjust the cookie settings at any time.

Individual information about the cookies and analysis services used as well as the purpose and legal basis of the data processing are further described in detail in the privacy policy.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter "Google"), which uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. Cookies usually transmit the information generated about your use of this website to a Google server in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA). However, since this website uses IP anonymization, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

The collection within the scope of this service only takes place after granting your explicit consent. The legal basis for this is Section 25 (1) TTDSG. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

The purpose of the collection is to evaluate the use of our website. Furthermore, the use of Google Analytics allows us to create reports about website activities and thus improve our internet presence. In addition to us, Google is to be named as the recipient of the data.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. You can stop the collection of your data by Google Analytics at any time, even after giving your consent.

Data transfer by Google to the USA is based on the EU standard contractual clauses, details of which can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/. You can find more information at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Google Maps

Our website uses Google Maps to visually display geographical information (maps). Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: "Google"). This enables us to make it easier for you to find us or to point out specific locations.

Google is therefore also to be named as the recipient of the data. When using Google Maps, information about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information collected and transmitted includes your IP address and your location, if the settings of your terminal device allow location. When Google Maps is activated, Google Fonts fonts are loaded into your browser cache in order to display relevant texts and fonts as intended.

This data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, provided that the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

In this processing, the cooperation with Google takes place on the basis of a joint responsibility agreement pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. This can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

The transfer of data to the USA is associated with risks under data protection law. If you do not wish the transfer, you can deactivate your consent in the cookie settings. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display.

More information about the collection and processing of your data by Google and your rights as a data subject in this regard can be found in Google's privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/?hl=de and in the additional terms of use for Google Maps and Google Earth at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Google Fonts

Our website uses Google Fonts for the integration of external fonts, a service of Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: "Google").

By integrating Google Fonts, a direct connection to Google's servers is established when you visit our website. The fonts can only be transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates them into the website. It is possible to have the connections to fonts.googleapis.com blocked by your operating system or a suitable browser add-on. The use of our website could then only be possible to a limited extent. The data will be deleted as soon as you leave our website.

The purpose of the collection is a uniform presentation of fonts and icons, which are offered by Google Fonts. The data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

It is possible that personal data may be transferred to Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) in the course of using this Google service.

Social media

We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is collected that is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account with the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and the interests determined from them. This makes it possible to display tailored advertising, both on and off the social network. Therefore, as a rule, cookies may be set on you through the use of social networks. However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected.

Through the social media presences, we would like to communicate information to you in the simplest and quickest way or give you the opportunity to share such. Therefore, unless you have consented to data processing on the respective platform, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented on the respective platform, the legal basis for processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, if the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

If you revoke your consent, request us to delete the data or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this. Cookies stored by you remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

The data processed as a result of your visit to our appearances on social media websites are classified as data processing initiated by us, and are thus subject to joint responsibility with the operator of the social media website pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Joint responsibility is limited to those processing operations where the purpose and means of the processing are decided jointly. If you wish to assert your data subject rights, you may do so both against us and against the operator of the social media website.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union and that you therefore run the risk of not being able to properly enforce your rights.
