Our contact details can be found in the imprint of the online offer, the contact persons for questions regarding the processing of personal data are named directly in this privacy policy.

We take the protection of your privacy and your private data very seriously. We collect, store and use your personal data only in accordance with the content of this privacy policy and the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the national data protection regulations.

With this privacy policy, we inform you to what extent and for what purposes personal data is processed in connection with the use of the online offer.

Personal data
Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes all information about your identity, such as your name, your e-mail address or your postal address. Information that cannot be linked to your identity (such as statistical data, e.g. the number of users of the online service) is not considered personal data.

In principle, you can use our online offer without disclosing your identity and without providing personal data. We will then only collect general information about your visit to our website. However, personal data is collected from you for some of the services offered. This data will then only be processed by us for the purposes of using this online service, in particular to provide the requested information. When collecting personal data, only the data that is absolutely necessary must be provided. In addition, further information may be possible, in which case it is voluntary. We indicate in each case whether the fields are mandatory or voluntary. We will then inform you about the specific details in the corresponding section of this privacy policy.

Automated decision-making based on your personal data does not take place in connection with the use of our online offer.

Processing of personal information
Your data will be stored by us on specially protected servers within the European Union. These are protected by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your data is only possible for a few authorized persons. They are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers. However, despite regular checks, complete protection against all hazards is not possible.

Your personal data is transmitted in encrypted form via the Internet. We use TLS encryption (Transport Layer Security) for data transmission.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties
We only use your personal information to provide the services you have requested. If external service providers are used by us in the course of providing the service, their access to the data is also exclusively for the purpose of providing the service. We take technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and also oblige our external service providers to do the same.

Furthermore, we do not pass on the data to third parties without your express consent, in particular not for advertising purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on if you yourself have consented to the data being passed on or if we are entitled or obliged to do so on the basis of statutory provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve the provision of information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, averting danger or enforcing intellectual property rights.

Insofar as we transfer your personal data ourselves or through service providers to countries outside the European Union, we comply with the special provisions of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR and also oblige our service providers to comply with these regulations. We will therefore only transfer your data to countries outside the European Union subject to the level of protection guaranteed by the GDPR. This level of protection is guaranteed in particular by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission or by suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR.

Legal basis for data processing
Insofar as we obtain consent for the processing of your personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing.

Insofar as we process your personal data because this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or in the context of a contract-like relationship with you, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR constitutes the legal basis for data processing.

Insofar as we process your personal data to fulfill a legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing.

The legal basis for data processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, if the processing of your personal data is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not require the protection of personal data.

In this privacy policy, we always indicate the legal basis on which we base the processing of your personal data.

Data erasure and storage duration
We always delete or block your personal data when the purpose of storage no longer applies. However, data may be stored beyond this if this is provided for by legal requirements to which we are subject, for example with regard to statutory retention and documentation obligations. In such a case, we will delete or block your personal data after the end of the corresponding requirements.

Information about your computer
Each time you access our online offer, we collect the following information about your computer, irrespective of your registration: the IP address of your computer, the request from your browser and the time of this request. The status and the amount of data transferred are also recorded as part of this request. We also collect product and version information about the browser used and the computer’s operating system. We also record the website from which the online offer was accessed. The IP address of your computer is only stored for the time you use the online service and is then deleted or anonymized by shortening it. The remaining data is stored for a limited period of time.

We use this data for the operation of the online service, in particular to detect and eliminate errors, to determine the utilization of the online service and to make adjustments or improvements. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie file was sent as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier.

Cookies enable us to recognize your computer and make any pre-settings and preferences immediately available. The cookies we use are – as far as possible – so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted at the end of the browser session. In some cases, cookies with a longer storage period may also be used so that your default settings and preferences can also be taken into account the next time you visit our website.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you as soon as cookies are sent. It is also possible to delete cookies that have already been saved manually via the browser settings. Please note that if you refuse the storage of cookies or delete necessary cookies, you may only be able to use our online services to a limited extent or not at all.

If cookies are not required for our online offer, we ask you to consent to the use of cookies when you access the online offer for the first time. With regard to the non-essential cookies from third-party providers, you will find a more detailed description of the services we use from these third-party providers below. The legal basis for the associated data processing, including any data transfer, is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Once consent has been given, it can be revoked at any time with effect for the future, in particular by changing the selected settings.

The legal basis for the use of necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in the proper provision of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and – insofar as contracts are concluded or fulfilled via our online offer – the fulfillment of the contract within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Once a selection has been made with regard to the use of cookies, it can be changed again at any time. We use a service provider to manage your cookie settings. The legal basis for this is both our legitimate interest in proper consent management in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR as well as the fulfillment of legal requirements pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR

We use third-party services for some of the functions on our website. The corresponding services are mainly optional functions that you must explicitly select or use. We have concluded contractual agreements with the respective providers for the provision or integration of their services and are committed, as far as possible, to ensuring that the third-party providers also provide transparent information about the scope of the processing of personal data and comply with data protection regulations.

As part of Google Analytics, Google uses cookies, among other things, for analysis purposes. The type and scope of the use and evaluation of cookies are specified by Google. The information generated by the cookies about your use of the online offer is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. It cannot be ruled out that data will be transmitted to the USA and that government agencies may be able to access this data. However, due to the standardized IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand on servers in the European Union.

Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us, as the operator of the website, with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also use the data for its own purposes. As part of these purposes, Google may, for example, create a profile of user behavior or link the data with other data, for example with an existing Google account. We have no influence on these data processing operations. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data that Google collects or already has. For more information, please refer to Google’s data protection information, which is linked below.

We also use the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the following paragraph. You can find more information on the “demographic features” function on Google at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2799357?hl=de.

Use of web fonts
Web fonts from the provider Adobe (Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited: 4-6 Riverwalk, City West Business Campus, Saggart, Dublin 24, Ireland) are used as external fonts for our online offering. These web fonts are integrated by a server call, usually from Adobe servers. This tells the server which of our Internet pages you have visited. The IP address of the browser of the end device of the visitor to this website is also stored by the providers. It cannot be ruled out that data will be transferred to the USA in this context and that US security authorities may gain access to the data under certain circumstances. Further information on data processing by Adobe can be found in the provider’s privacy policy, which you can access here:
