Privacy Policy

Our privacy policy is intended to provide you, as a customer or prospect, with information on how and to what extent your data is collected, stored, processed, shared, and transmitted when you visit our pages or use our services.

To ensure the ongoing protection of your data, especially in line with new legal requirements and technological developments, it is necessary to periodically adjust this privacy policy. We recommend that you regularly review our information and notes on data processing. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us using the contact information provided at the beginning of this statement.

Personal Data

When you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device. The following data is collected:

  • Information about the browser type and version
  • The user's operating system
  • The user's IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website

These data are also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR lies in these purposes.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. In the case of collecting data to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended. In the case of storing data in log files, this is the case after at most seven days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files are essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

This cookie contains a characteristic string that enables a unique identification of the browser when the website is called up again. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. These allow us to link your actions during this specific browser session. Other cookies (so-called permanent cookies) remain stored on your end device until you delete them. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. We also use cookies on our website that allow an analysis of user behavior. These are used to observe the anonymized user behavior on the website, for example, to record the number of visits per page. The collected data is used exclusively for optimizing the performance and design of this website. In most cases, these are third-party cookies (e.g., Google Analytics). However, the data is collected in anonymized form and used exclusively by us. When a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored on their operating system. In this way, the following data can be transmitted:

  • Utilization of website functions
  • User behavior
  • Frequency of page views

When you visit our website, you will be informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes, and your consent to the processing of personal data used in this context will be obtained. In this context, there is also a reference to this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). The information generated by the use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have activated IP anonymization. On this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

No guarantee is given for the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of the information translated by this system. There is no claim for liability for any damages that may have occurred.
