2) Data collection when visiting our website

If you use our website for information purposes only, that is, if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our 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 to you:

• The page of ours that was visited
• Date and time at the moment of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you reached the page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used (where applicable: in anonymised form)

The processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files subsequently should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.

3) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted again after the end of the browser session, that is, after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a specified period, which may differ depending on the cookie.

Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

We may work together with advertising partners who help us to make our website more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies may also be stored on your hard drive when you visit our website (third-party cookies). If we work together with the aforementioned advertising partners, you will be informed individually and separately about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected in each case within the following paragraphs.

Please note that you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers under the following links:

Microsoft Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/delete-cookies-in-microsoft-edge-63947406-40ac-c3b8-57b9-2a946a29ae09

Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/manage-cookies-sfri11471/mac
Opera: https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/

Please note that the functionality of our website may be limited if cookies are not accepted.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at the following link.

The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and of the related consents.

The provision of the personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

4) Making contact

Personal data is collected when you contact us (for example via a contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for making contact and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with conclusively; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified, provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent this.

5) Use of social media: videos

Use of YouTube videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “YouTube”, which belongs to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

The extended data protection mode is used here, which according to the provider only initiates the storage of user information once the video or videos are played. If playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider “YouTube” uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to information from “YouTube”, these serve, among other things, to record video statistics, improve usability and prevent abusive conduct. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish this to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in displaying personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

Irrespective of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network “DoubleClick” is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations beyond our control.

A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Google LLC is listed as an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6) Web analysis services

6.1 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies and comparable technologies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. In particular, the pages accessed, the time and duration of access, the previously visited page, information on browser and terminal device as well as an approximate location are recorded.

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymisation of the IP address is preset: your IP address is shortened within the EU or the EEA and is not stored by Google. On our behalf, Google evaluates this information in order to compile reports on website activity.

The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the storage of information on your terminal equipment and the reading of such information are based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the settings in the consent banner on this website and changing your selection.

A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Google LLC is listed as an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6.2 Microsoft Clarity

This website uses Microsoft Clarity, an analysis service of Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland (“Microsoft”). Clarity serves to understand the use of our website and to improve its design.

In doing so, Clarity records not only page views but the course of your visit: mouse movements, scrolling behaviour, clicks and page changes are recorded and can be replayed as a pseudonymised session recording. In addition, summary representations are created from this which show which areas of a page receive particular attention (“heatmaps”). Your shortened IP address, information on browser, operating system and screen resolution as well as the previously visited page are also recorded. Content that you enter into form fields is, according to the provider, masked by default and not transmitted.

The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the storage of information on your terminal equipment and the reading of such information are based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the settings in the consent banner on this website and changing your selection.

A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Microsoft Corporation is listed as an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.

6.3 Google Ads conversion tracking

We advertise using Google Ads, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). To measure the success of this advertising we use Google’s conversion tracking. If you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie is stored on your terminal device. If you subsequently carry out a particular action on our website – for example submitting an enquiry form – we can recognise that this action resulted from the click on the advertisement.

We do not receive any information by which individual visitors could be personally identified, but only aggregated evaluations of how many users clicked on an advertisement and subsequently carried out an action.

The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the storage of information on your terminal equipment and the reading of such information are based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the settings in the consent banner on this website and changing your selection.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

7) Tools and miscellaneous

7.1 Cloudflare Turnstile

On this website we use the service “Turnstile” of Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, 80331 Munich, Germany, a subsidiary of Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (hereinafter “Cloudflare”), to protect our forms. The service serves to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. We use it because our enquiry forms have been abused by automated means to a considerable extent.

When a page containing a form is accessed, a connection to Cloudflare’s servers is established. In doing so, your IP address, information on browser and terminal device as well as information about your behaviour in the browser (such as mouse and keyboard input) are processed in order to classify the request as human or automated. For this purpose Cloudflare sets the cookie “_cfuvid” (host challenges.cloudflare.com) with a term of one year, which makes accesses from the same IP address distinguishable. According to the provider, the data collected in this process is not used for profiling or for advertising purposes and is not used for recognition across websites.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in defending against spam and abusive automated use of our forms as well as in the security of our systems.

A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Cloudflare, Inc. is listed as an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.

If you do not wish to use the service, you can also reach us at any time by e-mail or telephone using the contact details given under section 1.

Further information can be found in Cloudflare’s privacy policy at: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/

7.2 Google Maps

On our website we use Google Maps (API) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to present geographical information visually. Through the use of this service our location is shown to you and any journey is made easier.

Already when you access those subpages in which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This happens irrespective of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish this to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in displaying personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Google LLC is listed as an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The transfer is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission of 10 July 2023 on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, it is also possible to deactivate the Google Maps web service completely by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website can then not be used.

You can view Google’s terms of use at https://policies.google.com/terms; the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/help/terms_maps.html
Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on Google’s website (“Google Privacy Policy”): https://policies.google.com/privacy

7.3 Google tag

The Google services used on this website are integrated via the so-called Google tag (gtag.js) of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The Google tag is a common integration code through which Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion measurement are loaded and controlled. It does not collect any data of its own but ensures that the aforementioned services are executed. When it is retrieved, your IP address is transmitted to Google, as this is technically necessary to enable delivery.

The services controlled via the Google tag are executed exclusively in accordance with the selection you have made in the consent banner. The legal basis for the integration of the Google tag as such is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a technically orderly and data-minimising control of the services used.

7.4 Content delivery network

To deliver this website more quickly we use the content delivery network RocketCDN of WP Media SAS, France. Static components of the website – such as images, style sheets and scripts – are not delivered from our own server but from geographically distributed servers; the technical infrastructure is provided by bunny.net (BunnyWay d.o.o., Slovenia) as a sub-processor. Personal data from your enquiries is not processed in this context; however, it is technically necessary for your IP address to be transmitted to the provider so that the files can be delivered. The servers used are located within the European Union.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure, stable and fast operation of this website.

7.5 Consent management

To obtain, manage and document your consents to the use of cookies and comparable technologies we use Real Cookie Banner, a product of devowl.io GmbH, Tannenweg 4, 53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany. The processing takes place on our own server; your consent data is not transmitted to the provider.

What is stored is your consent decision, the time of the decision, the version of the consent declaration valid at that time and technical information about your terminal device. This storage serves to fulfil our obligation to provide evidence pursuant to Art. 7 (1) GDPR; the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and, in addition, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the settings in the consent banner on this website and changing your selection.

7.6 Hosting

This website is operated on a virtual server of IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. IONOS processes on our behalf all data that arises when this website is visited and used – in particular the server log files described in section 2 as well as the content you transmit to us via our forms. The servers are located in Germany.

The processing is based on a data processing agreement concluded with IONOS pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. The legal basis for the use of a hosting service provider is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a secure and reliable operation of this website.

8) Rights of the data subject

8.1 Applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive data subject rights (rights of access and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, about which we inform you below:

• Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR: In particular, you have a right of access to your personal data processed by us, the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for you, as well as your right to be informed of the safeguards that exist pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries;
• Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR: You have a right to the immediate rectification of incorrect data concerning you and/or the completion of your incomplete data stored by us;
• Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: You have the right to demand the erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. However, this right does not exist in particular if the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
• Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data, which you dispute, is being verified, if you refuse the erasure of your data because of unlawful data processing and instead demand the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data once the purpose has been achieved, or if you have objected on grounds relating to your particular situation as long as it has not yet been established whether our legitimate grounds override yours;
• Right to be informed pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR: If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.
• Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR: You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to demand transmission to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible;
• Right to withdraw consent given pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR: You have the right to withdraw consent to the processing of data once given at any time with effect for the future. In the event of withdrawal we will delete the data concerned without delay, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal;
• Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR: If you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have – without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy – the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

8.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT

IF, WITHIN THE SCOPE OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE THE PROCESSING OF THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

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

9) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective statutory retention period (for example retention periods under commercial and tax law). After the period has expired, the corresponding data is deleted as a matter of routine, provided it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or the initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continued storage.
