  1. General information about data processing

1. Extent of processing of personal data

In principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), serves as legal basis.

The legal basis for the processing to perform our services and implement contractual activities and answering queries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for the processing to comply with our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for the processing to protect our legitimate interests Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or of another individual may require the processing of personal data Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis.

3. Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as they are no longer required. Storage can be done beyond, if this has been provided by European or national legislation in EU law regulations, laws or regulations, to which the responsible person is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfilment of the contract.

  1. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. 1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected here:

(1) Browser type and version used

(2) The operating system of the user

(3) The Internet service provider of the user

(4) The IP address of the user

(5) Date and time of access

(6) Referrer URL (the previously visited page)

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

1. 1. Legal basis for data processing

Legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

1. 1. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user's IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

In these purposes lies our legitimate interest in data processing acc. to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

1. 1. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is completed.

In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case after 24 hours at the latest. An additional storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

1. 1. Objection and removal possibility

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

  1. Use of cookies

1. 1. Description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or which the internet browser stores on the user's computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is reopened.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser be identified even after a page break.

The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

(1) User ID

(2) Language and location settings of the user

1. 1. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

1. 1. Purpose of data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of our websites. Some features of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies.

We require cookies for the following applications:

(1) Differentiation of users

(2) Adapting to users' language settings

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies will not be used to create user profiles.

1. 1. Duration of storage, objection and disposal options

Cookies are stored on the computer of the user and transmitted by this to our site. Therefore, as a user, you have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Already saved cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may not be possible to use all the functions of the website to the full.

Regardless of this, all data stored on the user's device will be deleted upon termination of use, eg by closing the browser window or tab.

  1. E-mail contact

Description and scope of data processing

When contacted via the e-mail address provided on the website, the user's personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored.

There is no transfer of personal data to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

  1. Integration of Third Party Services - Youtube.com

Within our online offer, based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO), we use content or service offers from third-party providers to integrate their content and services, such as videos.

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information, such as visitor traffic, on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, but is not limited to, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, time of visit, and other information regarding the use of our online offer.

Youtube

We embed the videos on the YouTube platform of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ , opt-out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated .

(2) is permissible on the basis of Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject, and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not apply to specific categories of personal data under Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and reasonable measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the person responsible shall take appropriate measures to uphold the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to express his/ her own position and to challenge the decision.
