Personal data (usually referred to just as “data” below) will only be processed by us to the extent neces­sary and for the purpose of providing a func­tional and user-friendly website, including its contents, and the services offered there.

Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regu­la­tion (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protec­tion Regu­la­tion (here­inafter referred to as the “GDPR”), “processing” refers to any oper­a­tion or set of oper­a­tions such as collec­tion, recording, orga­ni­za­tion, struc­turing, storage, adap­ta­tion, alter­ation, retrieval, consul­ta­tion, use, disclo­sure by trans­mis­sion, dissem­i­na­tion, or other­wise making avail­able, align­ment, or combi­na­tion, restric­tion, erasure, or destruc­tion performed on personal data, whether by auto­mated means or not.

The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in partic­ular about the type, scope, purpose, dura­tion, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunc­tion with others. We also inform you below about the third-party compo­nents we use to opti­mize our website and improve the user expe­ri­ence which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control.

Our privacy policy is struc­tured as follows:

I. Infor­ma­tion about us as controllers of your data
II. The rights of users and data subjects

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects
have the right

  • to confir­ma­tion of whether data concerning them is being processed, infor­ma­tion about the data
    being processed, further infor­ma­tion about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data
    (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to correct or complete incor­rect or incom­plete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to the imme­diate dele­tion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alter­na­tively, if further
    processing is neces­sary as stip­u­lated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18
    GDPR;
  • to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same
    trans­mitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to file complaints with the super­vi­sory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protec­tion provi­sions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addi­tion, the controller is obliged to inform all recip­i­ents to whom it discloses data of any such correc­tions, dele­tions, or restric­tions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this oblig­a­tion does not apply if such noti­fi­ca­tion is impos­sible or involves a dispro­por­tionate effort. Never­the­less, users have a right to infor­ma­tion about these recipients.

Like­wise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In partic­ular, an objec­tion to data processing for the purpose of direct adver­tising is permissible.

III. Infor­ma­tion about the data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the dele­tion of the same is not in breach of any statu­tory storage oblig­a­tions or unless other­wise stip­u­lated below.

Server data

For tech­nical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to our server provider will be collected, espe­cially to ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the type and version of your browser, oper­ating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the webpages on our site visited, the date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address from which you visited our site.

The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in asso­ci­a­tion with any other of your data. The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legit­i­mate interest lies in the improve­ment, stability, func­tion­ality, and secu­rity of our website.

The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued storage is required for eviden­tiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will be excluded from dele­tion until the inves­ti­ga­tion of the rele­vant inci­dent is finally resolved.

Contact

If you contact us via email or the contact form, the data you provide will be used for the purpose of processing your request. We must have this data in order to process and answer your inquiry; other­wise we will not be able to answer it in full or at all.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once we have fully answered your inquiry and there is no further legal oblig­a­tion to store your data, such as if an order or contract resulted therefrom.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphithe­atre Parkway, Moun­tain View, CA 94043 (here­inafter: Google).

Through certi­fi­ca­tion according to the EU-US Privacy Shield Google guar­an­tees that it will follow the EU’s data protec­tion regu­la­tions when processing data in the United States.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze how our website is used. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legit­i­mate interest lies in the analysis, opti­miza­tion, and economic oper­a­tion of our site.

Usage and user-related infor­ma­tion, such as IP address, place, time, or frequency of your visits to our website will be trans­mitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymiza­tion func­tion, whereby Google trun­cates the IP address within the EU or the EEA before it is trans­mitted to the US.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an eval­u­a­tion of visits to our website and what visi­tors do once there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and of the internet in general.

Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addi­tion, Google provides further infor­ma­tion with regard to its data protec­tion prac­tices at https://​www​.google​.com/​i​n​t​l​/​d​e​/​p​o​l​i​c​i​e​s​/​p​r​i​v​a​c​y​/​p​a​r​t​n​ers, including options you can exer­cise to prevent such use of your data.

In addi­tion, Google offers an opt-out add-on at https://​tools​.google​.com/​d​l​p​a​g​e​/​g​a​o​p​t​o​u​t​?​h​l​=en in addi­tion with further infor­ma­tion. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics’ JavaScript (ga.js) that no infor­ma­tion about the website visit should be trans­mitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent infor­ma­tion from being trans­mitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein.

Google-Maps

Our website uses Google Maps to display our loca­tion and to provide direc­tions. This is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphithe­atre Parkway, Moun­tain View, CA 94043 (here­inafter: Google).

Through certi­fi­ca­tion according to the EU-US Privacy Shield Google guar­an­tees that it will follow the EU’s data protec­tion regu­la­tions when processing data in the United States.

To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connec­tion to the Google server in the USA is estab­lished when­ever our website is accessed.

If you access the Google Maps compo­nents inte­grated into our website, Google will store a cookie on your device via your browser. Your user settings and data are processed to display our loca­tion and create a route descrip­tion. We cannot prevent Google from using servers in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legit­i­mate interest lies in opti­mizing the func­tion­ality of our website.

By connecting to Google in this way, Google can deter­mine from which website your request has been sent and to which IP address the direc­tions are transmitted.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the instal­la­tion of cookies by making the appro­priate settings in your browser. Further details can be found in the section about cookies above.

In addi­tion, the use of Google Maps and the infor­ma­tion obtained via Google Maps is governed by the Google Terms of Use and the Terms and
Condi­tions for Google Maps.

Google AdWords with Conver­sion Tracking

Our website uses Google AdWords and conver­sion tracking. This is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphithe­atre Parkway, Moun­tain View, CA 94043 (here­inafter: Google).

Through certi­fi­ca­tion according to the EU-US Privacy Shield Google guar­an­tees that it will follow the EU’s data protec­tion regu­la­tions when processing data in the United States.

We use conver­sion tracking to provide targeted promo­tion of our site. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legit­i­mate interest lies in the analysis, opti­miza­tion, and economic oper­a­tion of our
site.

If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conver­sion tracking we use stores a cookie on your device. These so-called conver­sion cookies expire after 30 days and do not other­wise iden­tify you personally.

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can eval­uate that you clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and that you were then forwarded to our website.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an eval­u­a­tion of visits to our website and what visi­tors do once there. In addi­tion, we receive infor­ma­tion about the number of users who clicked on our advertisement(s) as well as about the pages on our site that are subse­quently visited. Neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords will be able to iden­tify you from this conver­sion tracking.

You can also prevent or restrict the instal­la­tion of cookies by making the appro­priate settings in your browser. Like­wise, you can use the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored.

However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have any ques­tions, please use the help func­tion or consult the docu­men­ta­tion for your browser or contact its maker for support.
