With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right to

  • to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the processed data, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to rectification or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);

III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information is provided below on individual processing procedures.

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your Internet browser. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you have switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which the use of our Internet presence takes place are collected, among other things.

The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data about you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

Cookies

a) Session cookies/session cookies

If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary to process and answer your request – without it, we cannot answer your request or at best respond to a limited extent. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”. The Google Analytics service is used to analyze user behavior on our website. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website. Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, and frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function shortens the IP address within the EU or the EEA. The data collected in this way is then used by Google to provide us with an analysis of visits to our website and the associated user activity. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the internet in general. Google states that it does not combine your IP address with other data. Google also provides further information on data protection, including options for preventing data usage, at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners Google also offers a so-called deactivation add-on, along with further information, at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de This add-on can be installed in common internet browsers and gives you greater control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or other web analytics services. You can also find out in this privacy policy whether and which other web analytics services we use.  

YouTube

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal from YouTube LLC., 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”. YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”. We use YouTube in connection with the “Extended data protection mode” function to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Extended Data Protection Mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video. Without this “extended data protection” a connection to the YouTube server in the USA will be established as soon as you access one of our websites on which a YouTube video is embedded. This connection is required in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least collect and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you visited. A connection is also established to Google’s “DoubleClick” advertising network. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account. For the purpose of functionality and to analyze usage behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. You can find more information about this under “Cookies” above. Google provides further information about the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the data protection information at https://policies.google.com/privacyabrufbaren.
