2. General information on data processing on our website
Description and scope of processing of personal data
The processing of personal data of our users only takes place insofar as this is necessary for the provision of our website and our content and services. Insofar as this is required by law, the processing in each individual case only takes place with the consent of the user. Exceptions apply in cases where the processing of personal data is already permitted by other statutory provisions.

Legal bases for the processing of personal data
Insofar as the consent of the person concerned is obtained for the processing of personal data, we process the data on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries outside the EU/EEA, data processing is also based on Article 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. We also process personal data insofar as this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter c GDPR. Insofar as processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh this interest, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing under consideration. You can find out which legal basis is relevant in relation to the respective data processing in the other sections of this data protection declaration.

Duration of storage and obligation to delete data
In principle, we only store personal data of the persons concerned for as long as this is legally permissible. Insofar as no specific storage period is specified for individual data processing, the personal data of the person concerned will be deleted (or blocked) as soon as the respective purpose of storage no longer exists. In addition, storage can only take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in corresponding regulations, laws or other regulations that are applicable to us as the person responsible. Deletion (or blocking) of the personal data can continue to take place if a storage period or retention period prescribed by the regulations mentioned ends, unless the storage of the personal data of the person concerned is necessary with regard to the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract or other legal reasons make further storage necessary.

Transfer of personal data outside of the EU/EEA
As part of the use of services or applications by third-party providers, data processing may take place in third countries outside the member states of the European Union (EU) or contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). We expressly point out in this data protection declaration if this is the case in the context of data processing. In these cases, we will also explain to you the basis on which data processing takes place in the respective third country.

3. Data processing when providing the website and creating log files
Description and scope of processing of personal data
Every time a user calls up our website, the system automatically collects data and information from the respective computer system of the calling end device of the user. In particular, the following data is collected:

  • User's IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Visited website

The data mentioned is also stored in the log files of our system. Excluded from this are the IP addresses of the user or other data that enable the assignment of the data to a user. However, this data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
For the collection and storage of the data, we use a web host with whom we have concluded an order processing contract. The provider is Mayart, Mainzer Str. 83, 55218 Ingelheim am Rhein. Further information on the provider can be found here: https://mayart.de.

Purpose of processing personal data
The purpose of the temporary storage of the IP address by our system is to be able to deliver our website to the user's device. For this it is essential that the IP address of the user is stored for the duration of the session.
The purpose of storing the data in the log files is to ensure the functionality of our website. This data is also used by us to technically optimize and check the stability of the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the storage of the data in log files is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in the purposes mentioned. It is not apparent that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject outweigh this interest.

Duration of storage and data deletion
In principle, the data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case when the data for the provision of the website is collected when the respective session has ended. There is no further storage of the data.
If data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. If further storage takes place, the IP addresses of the users will be deleted or shortened in such a way that it is no longer possible to assign the calling computer.

Possibility of objection and elimination
As can be seen from the purpose of the data processing, the collection of the data mentioned is absolutely necessary for the provision of our website and the storage of the data in log files for the operation of the website. For this reason, the user has no possibility of objection.

4. Use of and data processing by cookies
Description and scope of processing of personal data
As part of the provision of our website, we use cookies. These are data sets that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's device. As soon as a user calls up a website, a cookie can be stored in the user's end device. In this respect, the respective cookie contains a characteristic character string which, in principle, enables the browser to be clearly identified when the website is called up again. Cookies are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (so-called "session cookies") or permanently (so-called "permanent cookies").
We use technically necessary cookies to make our website functional. In this respect, some elements of our website require that the calling browser can also be recognized after a page change.
In addition, we use cookies on our website, which, for example, enable an analysis of the surfing behavior of users. The data collected in this way is explained further below in this data protection declaration.
If the user accesses our website, he will be informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes with reference to this data protection declaration and his consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context will be obtained.

Purpose of processing personal data
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to enable the use of websites for users at all. For example, they can be used to maintain user sessions and prevent security threats. There are some functions on our website that cannot be offered without the use of cookies. In these cases it is imperative that e.g. the browser is recognized even after a page change. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of optimizing the quality of our website and improving the display of content. Analysis cookies enable us to determine how the website is accepted by users and can thus constantly optimize our offer and make it more interesting for users.

Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given their consent.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies within the meaning of Section 25 (2) TTDSG is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. In this respect, we have a legitimate interest in the use of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. It is not apparent that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject outweigh this interest.

Duration of storage and data deletion
The duration of storage and data deletion depend on the type of cookie and how the user selects their browser settings. Because cookies are stored on the user's end device and transmitted from there to our website. In this respect, it is generally possible to completely deactivate or restrict the acceptance of cookies. Saved cookies can also be deleted independently by the user at any time, which can even be done automatically. Session cookies are also automatically deleted at the end of the website visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on the user's end device until the user deletes them himself or until they are automatically deleted by the browser.
We would like to point out that you may no longer be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent if you deactivate cookies for our website.

Possibility of objection and elimination
As a user, you have the option to revoke your consent to the use of analysis cookies at any time with effect for the future. You can use one of the following options to do this:

  • You tell us that you want to revoke your consent or change your data protection or privacy settings as part of our cookie consent manager.
  • You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the respective cookie and related to your use of our website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by downloading and installing the plugin available for the browser you are using.

Transfer of personal data outside of the EU/EEA
If you give your consent to the use of cookies for analysis purposes, you also consent to your data being processed in a third country outside the EU/EEA in accordance with Article 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. It is possible that your data will be processed in a third country. We would like to point out that the United States of America (USA) is/is currently being assessed by the European Court of Justice as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there may not be any other suitable data protection guarantees. There is therefore a risk that your data may be processed by national authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal redress. If you do not want this, you can refuse your consent. In addition, you can revoke the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that took place until you revoked your consent.

5. Use of a consent management service (cookie consent manager)
Description and scope of processing of personal data
We use the consent management service "EU Cookie Compliance" of the Drupal Content Management System. When our website is accessed, the system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the user's accessing device. In this case, the following data is collected from or through the use of the service:

  • Opt-in and Opt-out Data
  • Referrer URL
  • User agent
  • User settings
  • ConsentID
  • Time of consent

Purpose of processing personal data
The service is used to manage consents. This serves to comply with legal obligations, according to which data processing that requires consent may only be carried out via the website if the user has given their consent. The service is thus used both to store the consent obtained and to manage the consent obtained. This also applies in the event that the consent given is revoked.

Legal basis for processing personal data
Due to the legal obligation to store the data mentioned, the legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter c GDPR.

Duration of storage and data deletion
In principle, the transmitted data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The retention period is the period of time in which the collected data is stored for processing.
The consent data (given consent and revocation of consent) are stored for three years. The data will then be deleted immediately.

Possibility of objection and elimination
The collection and storage of data is required by law for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

6. Subscription and sending of newsletters
Description and scope of processing of personal data
As part of the offer on our website, users have the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. If you register to receive the newsletter, the data from the input mask will be transmitted to us. This is data that allows us to verify that you agree to receive the newsletter, such as surname, first name and e-mail address.
Further data will not be collected from you or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the newsletter. When registering to receive the newsletter, your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.
After registering on our website, you will receive an e-mail with a confirmation link with which you can confirm your registration for our newsletter (double opt-in procedure). This confirmation serves as proof that you, as the owner of the e-mail address provided, agree to receive the newsletter.
Based on your consent, we evaluate user behavior within the newsletter we send. Each newsletter sent to you contains links or files that enable us to evaluate receipt and read confirmations as well as information about the links you clicked in our newsletter with regard to opening and click rates.

Purpose of processing personal data
Both the collection of the e-mail address and the collection of further information from the user serve to ensure that the user is the owner of the e-mail address provided and therefore agrees to receive the newsletter. In addition, we need the e-mail address of the user in order to be able to send the newsletter. The information collected by evaluating opening and click rates is used to improve our newsletter both technically and in terms of content.

Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the processing of the data when registering for the newsletter subscription and for the evaluation of the opening and click rates is the consent of the user on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 lit. a GDPR.

Duration of storage and data deletion
In principle, the data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the respective purpose for which they were collected. The user's e-mail address is therefore stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter exists and the user's consent to the use of his data has not been revoked. This also applies to the storage of the evaluation of the opening and click rates.

Possibility of objection and elimination
The user can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and revoke consent to the use of the data. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link with which users can unsubscribe from receiving the newsletter.
The lawfulness of the data processing that took place up until the revocation of the consent remains unaffected by the revocation. A separate revocation of just the newsletter tracking is not possible. In this case, the entire subscription must be terminated.

7. Provision of a contact form, a callback request and an e-mail contact
Description and scope of processing of personal data
We provide you with a contact form on our website so that you can contact us electronically. If and insofar as users send us an inquiry or a message via the contact form, the data entered in the input mask of the contact form will be transmitted to us and stored. This may include your name, your e-mail address and your request.
You also have the option of using another contact form to request a callback via our website. In this case, we need your telephone number and the date and time for the desired callback in order to be able to contact you by telephone.
At the time the respective form is sent, the following data is also stored:

  • The IP address of the user
  • Date and time of notification

For the processing of the data, reference is made to this data protection declaration in the context of the respective sending process.
In addition, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided as part of our contact details. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail and the request communicated will be stored by us.
In this context, the data is generally not passed on to third parties. The transmitted data will only be used to process the contact and to process your request.

Purpose of processing personal data
The processing of the personal data from the respective input mask serves us solely to process the contact and processing of your request. The indication of the telephone number in the context of the callback request enables us to contact you by telephone. If you contact us by e-mail, this is also the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the transmitted personal data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Legal basis for processing personal data
If your request is aimed at the conclusion of a contract or is related to the fulfillment of a contract, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The processing of personal data that is transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail and is not aimed at concluding a contract or is not related to the fulfillment of a contract is based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Duration of storage and data deletion
In principle, the transmitted data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the personal data from the respective input mask and the data transmitted by e-mail when the processing of the user's request has been completed and/or the conversation with the user has ended. It can be assumed that the processing of the request has been completed or the conversation has ended if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified for the user.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process is usually deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

Possibility of objection and elimination
If the user contacts us by email, he can object to the storage and processing of his personal data at any time.
All personal data stored in the course of making contact will also be deleted in this case.

8. Use of spam protection for the contact form
Description and scope of processing of personal data
To protect our contact form, we use the “Friendly Captcha” service from Friendly Captcha GmbH, based at Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee. The purpose of the service is to check whether the data is entered in the contact form by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, our website contains the "Friendly Captcha Widget", with which a so-called puzzle request is sent. However, no cookies are set. The service evaluates the following information (“log data”) for analysis:

  • The request headers User-Agent, Origin and Referer
  • The puzzle itself, which contains information about the account and website key that the puzzle relates to
  • The version of the widget
  • A timestamp

An anonymized counter per IP address is stored to dynamically scale puzzle difficulty on the edge network to detect malicious users and minimize banning of legitimate users. The provider anonymizes the IP addresses via one-way hashing so that users cannot be personally identified. In this context, no personal data such as your name, your e-mail address or your online profile will be requested.
Further information from the provider on the subject of data protection can be found at: https://friendlycaptcha.com/de/privacy/gdpr/ and the data protection regulations for end users at: https://friendlycaptcha.com/de/legal/privacy-end-users/ .

Purpose of processing personal data
The analysis of the log data serves to protect our contact form from improper use and the sending of spam messages. We have a legitimate interest in the fact that our contact form is used exclusively for sending requests by people and not for sending spam messages or in any other way abusively.

Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for processing the log data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in preventing improper spying and improper use of our contact form prevails in this respect. It is not apparent that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject outweigh this interest.

Duration of data storage and data deletion
In principle, the log data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is usually the case after 30 days. Anonymous storage of the counter per IP address is also permitted.

Possibility of objection and elimination
Since the log data is anonymized at all times, personal reference is completely excluded. There is therefore no possibility of objection for the user.

9. Use of web analysis by the Google Analytics service
Description and scope of processing of personal data
We use "Google Analytics" on our website, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google Analytics"). Use includes the Universal Analytics operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user's activities across devices.
Google Analytics uses cookies, i.e. data sets that are stored on your end device and that enable an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is initially processed within the EU or the EEA. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within the EU or the EEA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
The following user data is processed for this purpose:

  • The IP address of the user
  • Date and time of access
  • Requesting domain
  • Device type, model, brand, screen resolutions
  • Operating system, versions, families
  • Browser, version, configuration, engines, plugins, language, language code
  • Location data
  • Pages per Visit, Number of Visits, Returning Visits
  • Visiting time, visiting day
  • Entry pages, exit pages, page URL, page title
  • Search terms, downloads
  • Search engines, search term, websites, social networks
  • Campaigns, campaign keyword

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google for this purpose. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, standard contractual clauses have been agreed with Google as part of the contractual regulations. You can find the provider's terms of use at: www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and the data protection declaration at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Purpose of processing personal data
The purpose of using the web analysis service is to analyze the use of our website and to be able to regularly optimize and improve it. Using the statistics obtained, we can constantly improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the use of the web analysis service is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a GDPR if the user has previously given his or her consent.

Duration of storage and data deletion
The cookies used have an expiration date of 35 days. The data sent by Google and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months at the latest, according to Google. According to Google, data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month. We would like to point out that we have no influence on the duration of storage by Google.

Possibility of objection and elimination
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) being sent to Google and the processing of this data by Google by using the browser plug-in available under the following link. Download and install in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Opt-out cookies prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across different devices, you must opt out on all systems used.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, which means that they cannot be linked to individuals. If the data collected about you has a personal reference, this will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Transfer of personal data outside of the EU/EEA
As described, the processing of personal data by Google in the USA cannot be completely ruled out. If you give your consent to the use of cookies for analysis purposes, you also consent to your data being processed in a third country outside the EU/EEA in accordance with Article 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. We would like to point out that the USA is currently considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. There is therefore a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal redress. If you do not want this, you can refuse your consent. In addition, you can revoke the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that took place until you revoked your consent.

10. Use of web analysis by the Matomo service
Description and scope of processing of personal data
We use the open source software tool "Matomo" on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. When accessing (sub)pages of our website, the following data is stored:

  • Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling device
  • Accessed website
  • Website from which the user came to the accessed website (referrer)
  • Sub-pages that are accessed from the accessed website
  • Length of stay on the website
  • Frequency of visiting the website

We use the software exclusively on the servers of our website. The personal data of the user is only stored on the servers of our website. A transfer of data to third parties does not take place.
We use the software in such a way that only 2 bytes of the IP addresses are stored. Conversely, this means that 2 bytes of the IP address are masked, which means that the shortened IP address cannot be assigned to the user's calling device.

Purpose of processing personal data
The purpose of using the web analysis service is to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. Based on the evaluation of the data obtained, we receive information about the use of the individual components of our website. As a result, we can constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness.

Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in the processing of the data according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in the above purposes. The anonymization of the IP address takes sufficient account of the interest of users in their protection. It is not apparent that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject outweigh this interest.

Duration of storage and data deletion
In principle, the transmitted data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The data will therefore be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes. In the present case, this is the case after 6 months.

Possibility of objection and elimination
As a user, you have the option of using the opt-out function of the service if you do not wish to participate in the provider's web analysis:

 

 

You can also change your data protection or privacy settings within the Internet browser you are using. Further information on the privacy settings of the Matomo software can be found at: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/.
