1.1 We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest. Below, we provide information about how we handle your personal data when you use our website. Personal data refers to any data that can be used to personally identify you.

The controller 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, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information—we collect only the data that your browser transmits to the website 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 you visited

– Date and time of access

– Amount of data transmitted in bytes

– Source/referrer from which you accessed the page

– Browser used

– Operating system used

– IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively should there be 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 “https://” prefix and the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

For hosting our website and displaying its content, we use a provider that performs its services—either directly or through selected subcontractors—exclusively on servers located within the European Union.

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers, unless different data recipients are specified below for specific data processing activities.

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

4) Cookies

To make your visit to our website more engaging and to enable the use of certain features, we use cookies—small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow us to save website settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

If personal data is processed by individual cookies we use, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR either for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR if consent has been given, or in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user–friendly and effective experience for visitors.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them, or to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally.

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

5) Contacting Us

When you contact us (e.g., via the contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected when using a contact form is indicated on the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when it is evident from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations preclude this.

6) Website Features

6.1 YouTube

This website uses plugins to display and play videos 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

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers—at the latest when the video begins playing—to load the content. In the process, certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If playback of embedded videos is initiated via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, compile playback statistics, and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider while visiting the page, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for this data to be associated with your account, you must log out before clicking the play button.

All of the aforementioned processing activities, in particular the setting of cookies to read information from the device you are using, take place only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke the consent you have given at any time with future effect by deactivating this service via the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

For data transfers to the U.S., the provider has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

6.2 Google reCAPTCHA

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

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.

For the visual design of the CAPTCHA window, the provider uses “Google Fonts,” i.e., fonts downloaded from the Internet by Google. No information other than that mentioned above—which is already transmitted to Google via the reCAPTCHA functionality—is processed in this context.

The service verifies whether an input is made by a human or is the result of abusive, machine-driven, or automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access attempts. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data regarding the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this information to the provider’s servers for evaluation. Cookies—small text files stored in the end device’s browser—may be used for this purpose.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these are set only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect 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 establishing individual accountability on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties. For data transfers to the United States, the provider has joined the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

7) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “Cookie Consent Tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can grant consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. When the tool is used, all cookies and services requiring consent are loaded only if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by checking the appropriate boxes. This ensures that such cookies are set on the user’s device only if consent has been granted.

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

If, in individual cases, the storage, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies contingent upon the user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options for the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

9) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and—where applicable—the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data based on explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the data in question will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If statutory retention periods apply to data processed in connection with contractual or quasi-contractual obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, such data will be routinely deleted upon expiration of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or for entering into a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.

When processing personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified in the other information in this statement 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.
