Purpose of data processing

Every visit to our website and every retrieval of a file stored on the website is logged. This data is stored for internal system-related and statistical purposes. The following information is logged: Name of the file accessed, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, web browser and requesting domain. Use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This applies in particular where a contractual relationship is to be established, defined in detail or amended between you and us, where an enquiry regarding an offer or contact is made, or where we receive your registration for a promotional activity (e.g. email newsletter, request for information material, participation in prize draws, etc.). In these cases, we collect and use your personal data to the extent necessary for these purposes. You may object to this use at any time with effect for the future. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. You may also withdraw this consent at any time. To withdraw your consent, simply send us a message.

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if required to do so by law or if you have given your consent.

Please note that data transmission over the internet may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

Google Analytics and Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

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 relating to website 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 Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

If you do not agree to the use of cookies for visitor tracking on this site, you can disable the storage and use of your interests or, if necessary, re-enable them. Tracking cookies are disabled using the same mechanism, whereby a so-called “opt-out cookie” is stored on your device, thereby preventing the anonymous collection of data. If you ever delete all your cookies, please note that this will also remove the opt-out cookie, which may need to be set again.

Further information on this can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de or at https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html?hl=de (general information on Google Analytics and data protection). Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure the anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

Security notice

We endeavour to store your personal data in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties by utilising all technical and organisational measures available to us. However, we cannot guarantee complete data security when communicating via any form of electronic communication; therefore, we recommend that you send confidential information by post.

Legal Basis

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Article 9(2)(h) of the GDPR in conjunction with Section 22(1)(1)(b) of the Federal Data Protection Act. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Right of access

You have the right to access the personal data held about you. You may also request the rectification of inaccurate data. Furthermore, under certain conditions, you have the right to erasure, the right to restrict processing, and the right to data portability. The processing of your data is carried out in accordance with legal regulations. We require your consent only in exceptional cases. In such cases, you have the right to withdraw your consent for future processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful.

Upon written request, we will inform you of the data we hold about you (e.g. name, address).
