We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

2. Your Rights as a Data Subject

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data (subject to legal retention periods), or restriction of processing. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority.

Furthermore, under certain circumstances, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format (right to data portability).

Right to Object: If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR, provided that there are reasons arising from your particular situation.

3. Data Collection on This Website

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address (anonymized)

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of our website.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device.

We exclusively use technically necessary cookies. These are required to ensure basic functions of the website (e.g., Example: user session, language settings - adapt or delete example if not applicable). The use of technically necessary cookies is based on § 25 para. 2 TTDSG (German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act) or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our legitimate interest in the technically error-free provision of our services. You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

4. Contacting Us

If you contact us by e-mail, your details, including the contact data you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). The data you provide will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g., after fulfilling your request).

5. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply for your subsequent visit.

Wichtige Punkte für die englische Version:

  • Begriffe: Stelle sicher, dass GDPR-Begriffe korrekt übersetzt sind (Controller, Data Subject, Legitimate Interest etc.).
  • Gesetzesverweise: Die Verweise auf deutsche Gesetze (TMG, MStV, TTDSG) sollten beibehalten werden, da sie die Grundlage bilden. Eine kurze Erklärung wie "(German Telemedia Act)" ist hilfreich. DSGVO ist EU-weit und bleibt GDPR.
  • Anpassung: Genau wie die deutsche Version muss auch diese exakt an die tatsächlichen Vorgänge auf deiner Website angepasst werden (Cookies, externe Dienste, Kontaktaufnahme-Möglichkeiten).
  • Rechtliche Prüfung: Unbedingt erforderlich!
