Definitions

Our privacy policy is intended to be simple and understandable for everyone. This privacy policy generally uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.

Access to and Storage of Information on End Devices

When using our website, information (e.g., IP address) may be accessed or information (e.g., cookies) may be stored on your end device. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.
In cases where such access to information or such storage is absolutely necessary to provide our services in a technically error-free manner, this is based on Section 25 (1) sentence 1, (2) No. 2 TTDSG.
In cases where such access or storage serves other purposes (e.g., the user-friendly design of our website), this takes place only with your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The processing of your personal data is subject to the provisions of the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
Further information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal bases in this context can be found in the following sections on specific processing activities on our website.

Web Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). Hosting for this website takes place in Europe and the United States of America. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, website visits, and other data generated via a website.
We collect the listed data to ensure the smooth connection of the website and the technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data is absolutely necessary to provide you with the website. The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest in a correct presentation and functionality of our website pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, in which we obligate the provider to protect our customers’ data and not to disclose it to third parties.

Server Log Files

When you access our website, it is technically necessary for data to be transmitted from your internet browser to our web server. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection between your internet browser and our web server:

• Date and time of the request

• Name of the requested file

• Page from which the file was requested

• Access status

• Browser used and operating system used

• (Complete) IP address of the requesting computer

• Amount of data transmitted

We collect the listed data to ensure the smooth connection of the website and the technically error-free provision of our services. Processing this data is absolutely necessary to provide you with the website. The log files are used to evaluate system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in protecting and ensuring the functionality of our website pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
For technical security reasons, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server, this data is temporarily stored by us. After no more than 7 days, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level, making it no longer possible to establish a link to an individual user.

In anonymized form, the data may also be processed for statistical purposes. This data is never stored together with other personal data of the user, matched with other data sets, or shared with third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or language settings). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertising.
The processing of data through the use of absolutely necessary cookies is based on a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in providing our services in a technically error-free manner. For details on processing purposes and legitimate interests, please refer to the explanations of the specific data processing activities.
The processing of personal data through the use of other cookies is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. If such cookies are used for analysis and optimization purposes, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the applicable statutory retention periods (e.g., under commercial and tax law). After the respective period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted.
