Scope of Application
With this data protection declaration, users receive information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider. The legal framework for data protection is the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).
Collection of general information
Every time this offer is accessed, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
The following are included, among other things:
Name of the web site, name and URL of the downloaded file,
date and time of access,
data volume,
web browser and web browser version,
operating system,
the domain name of your internet provider,
the so-called referrer URL,
and the IP address.
Without this data it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the contents of the website. In this respect, the collection of data is absolutely essential.
The data listed will be processed by us for the following purposes:
Ensuring a smooth connection to the website, ensuring comfortable use of our website, evaluating system security and stability, and for other administrative purposes
We also reserve the right to subsequently check the log files in case of suspicion of illegal use of our offer.
The legal basis for the data processing results from Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes listed above for data collection. Under no circumstances will we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about you.
In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. Further explanations can be found under the corresponding headings of this privacy policy.
Direct processing of personal data
To process your enquiry, e.g. via our contact form or to send the newsletter, we process your personal data, however not beyond that.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
We do not pass on your personal data to third parties unless this is necessary to answer your enquiry or is permitted and required by law.
Sharing of data
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
You have given your express consent under Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR that disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR is required for the assertion, exercising or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection of your data not being disclosed, in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR, and
this is legally permissible and required under Article 6 (1) (1) (b) GDPR for the execution of contractual relationships with you.

Google Analytics
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the user's use of the website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, providing a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
On our behalf, Google will use this information to analyse the use of our website by users, to compile reports on activities on this website, and to provide us with other services related to the use of this website and the internet. In this case, pseudonymous usage profiles of users may be created from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation activated. This means that the user’s IP address is truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address submitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google. Users may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on their browser software; users may also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offer and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

If you have any questions, you may contact us using the form provided on the website.

Newsletter
If you would like to subscribe to our newsletter, please confirm, in addition to your e-mail address, that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.
For the registration to our newsletter we use the so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.
Your data is only collected for the purpose of being able to send you the newsletter and to document our authorisation in this regard. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
You can revoke your subscription to the newsletter and your consent to the storage of your e-mail address at any time, e.g. by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. Your data for the newsletter dispatch will be deleted within 3 months after termination of the newsletter receipt, provided that the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.
Deletion or blocking of data (Data minimisation)
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation. Therefore, we store your personal data only as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required according to the various storage periods determined by the competent legal authorities. Once the purpose in question no longer exists or these storage periods expire, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted in accordance with statutory requirements.

in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data, as far as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you reject its deletion and we no longer need the data, but you still need this to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR;
to obtain your personal information provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request transmission to another person in charge in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR;
