As a matter of principle, we only process personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
2. legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO as the legal basis for the processing.
3. data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
1. description and scope of data processing
Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

(2) The operating system of the user
(3) The Internet service provider of the user
(4) The IP address of the user
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our Internet site
(7) Websites that are called up by the user’s system via our website
The log files contain, in particular, IP addresses, which are only temporarily stored in log files for the purpose of rectifying technical problems. In addition, other data is stored if, for example, the link to the website from which the user accesses the Internet page or the link to the website to which the user goes contains personal data.
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
If there is a storage of IP addresses in log files:
The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
5. possibility of objection and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.
a) Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is revisited.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly and to provide the area for registered users. Some elements of our website therefore require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:
(1) Session ID
(2) Form input
We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user’s surfing behavior.
In this way, the following data can be transmitted:
The following is a listing of the data collected. These can be, for example:
(1) Search terms entered
(2) Frequency of page views
(3) Use of website functions
The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. Therefore, an assignment of the data to the calling user is no longer possible. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.
Since most browsers automatically accept cookies, if you do not want data to be stored, you must configure your browser accordingly (either so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notice always appears before a new cookie is created). However, the complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.
b) Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
c) Purpose of the data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.
We need cookies for the following applications:
(1) Adoption of language settings
(2) Login and use of the area for registered users
The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
The analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.
In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
e) Duration of storage, possibility of objection and elimination
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted by the user to our site. Therefore, as a user, you also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transfer of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be automated. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
The transmission of Flash cookies cannot be prevented via the browser settings, but by changing the Flash Player setting.
6. scope of the processing of personal data
We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user’s computer (for cookies, see already above). If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:
(1) Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s calling system.
(2) The accessed web page
(3) The website from which the user has reached the accessed website (referrer).
(4) The subpages that are accessed from the accessed web page.
(5) The time spent on the website
(6) The frequency of the call of the web page
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users only takes place there. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
The software is set so that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (Ex: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.
7. legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of the users’ personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
8. purpose of data processing
The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users.

This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in the processing of data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in their personal data protection is sufficiently taken into account.
9. duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, this is the case after one month.
