Principles of Data Processing

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behaviour. Information for which we cannot (or can only with disproportionate effort) establish a link to your person, e.g. by anonymising the information, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally required retention obligations.

If we process your personal data for the provision of certain offers, we will inform you below about the specific procedures, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis for the processing and the respective storage period.

Use of our websites

When you use our websites, we sometimes create web server logs that contain the date and time, the URL path accessed, the referrer if applicable and the browser used; however, we anonymise your IP address using IP masking so that we do not have any personal data.

Contact form

If you use our contact form, we collect your e-mail address and your name for the purpose of answering your enquiry and using an appropriate form of address. You can of course also use a pseudonym instead of your real name. The contact form processes your details as an e-mail to , as if you had written to this e-mail address yourself. We store your enquiry transmitted in this way for an indefinite period of time in order to be able to refer back to previous processes in the event of future enquiries from you and thus to be able to achieve a higher quality of support. No further processing or use will take place.

Data sharing

We do not share any of your personal information with third parties when you use our services. Exceptions to this rule are:

• You have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.
• The transfer is legally permissible and necessary for the fulfilment of the contractual relationship with you according to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR.
• There is a legal obligation for the disclosure according to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR.
• Pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR, the disclosure is necessary to protect legitimate business interests and to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.

Cookies

We do not use any cookies when using the public parts of our websites.

When you register or log in with us, we set two persistent cookies. Both cookies are valid for a period of 20 minutes. With each interaction in the logged-in area, the validity is updated. After 20 minutes of inactivity you will be logged out. Furthermore, when registering/logging in, you can optionally choose whether both persistent cookies should be stored for a longer period (180 days). You can delete both persistently stored cookies as soon as you log out manually in the logged-in area or remove the cookies via the browser.

Use of tracking and analysis tools

We do not use any internal or external tracking and analysis tools.

Social plugins

We do not use any plugins of social networks.

Links to other websites

Our website contains links to websites of other providers that are not affiliated with us. After clicking on the link, we no longer have any influence on the processing of the transmitted data (such as the IP address or the URL on which the link is located), as the behaviour of third parties is beyond our control. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the processing of such data by third parties.

Data subjects’ rights

The GDPR gives you the following rights as a data subject of a processing of personal data and we are obliged to inform you about them:

• Art. 15 GDPR: You can request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, about a transfer to third countries or international organisations and about the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details.
• Art. 16 GDPR: You can immediately request the correction of incorrect or the completion of your personal data stored by us.
• Art. 17 GDPR: You can request the deletion of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• Art. 18 GDPR: You can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if you dispute the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you refuse to delete it because you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. You also have the right under Art. 18 GDPR if you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.
• Art. 20 GDPR: You may request to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or you may request that it be transferred to another controller.
• Art. 77 GDPR: You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our registered office.
• Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR: You can revoke your consent at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future.

Right to object

When your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, insofar as there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the case of direct advertising, you have a general right of objection, which we implement without specifying a particular situation.

Data security

We draw your attention to the fact that data transmission on the internet may be subject to security gaps. An absolute protection of the data against access by third parties is technically not possible. We protect your data as best we can. This site uses TSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as data you send us via forms. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the fact that the address line of the Internet browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol (some people see a “handbag” instead) in your browser line. If TSL encryption is enabled, the data you send us is particularly secure.

All information you transmit to us is stored on servers in Germany. We use technical and organizational security measures to ensure that our users' personal data is protected against loss, destruction, incorrect changes or unauthorized access by third parties. In particular, your personal data is transmitted in encrypted form.
