The person responsible for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When you use our website solely for informational purposes, that is, when you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the web server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website:

  • The website you visited
  • Date and time at the time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/referrer from which you arrived at the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. No further transmission or other use of the data takes place. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

3) Cookies

In order to make your visit to our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and enable the saving of site settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can check the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

If personal data is processed through individual cookies we use, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to safeguard our legitimate interests in the optimal functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of your visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually about their acceptance, or you can exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

4) Contact

In the context of contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of using a contact form is evident from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your inquiry or for contact purposes and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in answering your inquiry in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your inquiry. This is the case if it can be deduced from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and if no statutory retention obligations stand in the way.

5) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking

This website uses conversion tracking technology from the following provider: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA

For the use of Universal Event Tracking, a tag is embedded on every page of our website, which interacts with the conversion cookie set by Microsoft. This interaction makes the user’s behavior on our website traceable and sends the information collected in this way to Microsoft. The purpose is that certain predefined goals, such as purchases or leads, can be statistically recorded and evaluated in order to tailor the orientation and content of our offers to the interests of our users. The tags never serve to personally identify users.

All the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without this consent, the use of retargeting technology during your visit is omitted.

You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please disable this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

6) Website Functionalities

6.1 Google Maps

This website uses an online mapping service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any possible route is facilitated.

Upon accessing the subpages into which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google’s servers and stored there; this may also result in a transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether a user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly associated with your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

The collection, storage, and evaluation take place in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the formation of these usage profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise that right. If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google as part of the use of Google Maps, there is also the possibility to completely deactivate the Google Maps service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website can then no longer be used.

If legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please follow the procedure described above for exercising an objection.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

6.2 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use the CAPTCHA service from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. For the visual design of the captcha window, the provider uses “Google Fonts”, i.e. fonts loaded from Google via the internet. No further processing of information beyond what is mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the functionality of reCAPTCHA, takes place.

If the processing described above is carried out on the basis of cookies, these are only set if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual self-responsibility on the internet and in preventing abuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

7) Tools and Other

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “Cookie Consent Tool” to obtain effective user consents for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users as an interactive user interface upon page access, where consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking checkboxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded when the respective user has given the corresponding consent by ticking the checkboxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool technically sets necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, personal data is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings (such as the IP address), this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our internet presence.

Further legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the data controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

If necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the provider and the settings of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

8) Rights of the Data Subject

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE THE PROCESSING OF THE AFFECTED DATA. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING IS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING PROTECTIVE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. YOU CAN EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE THE PROCESSING OF THE AFFECTED DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

9) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – additionally based on the statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax-related retention periods).

In the processing of personal data on the basis of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the affected data will be stored as long as you do not revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data processed on the basis of contractual or pre-contractual obligations in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the expiration of the retention periods, provided that they are no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or contract initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing the storage.

In the processing of personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, the data will be stored as long as you do not exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling protective reasons for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

In the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, the data will be stored as long as you do not exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

If nothing else is specified in the other information in this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
