III. General information about data processing
1. Scope of personal data processing
We generally collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly based on the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by statutory provisions.
2. Legal basis for processing personal data
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing personal data.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and if the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interests, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
3. Data erasure and storage duration
Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Storage may take place beyond this if 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 when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.
The following data is collected:
- Information about the browser type and version
- The user’s operating system
- The user’s internet service provider
- The user’s IP address
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and 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 the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us 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 also justify our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage

VII. Integration of Services and Contents of Third Parties
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we make use of content or service offers from third parties to incorporate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”). This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is thus necessary for the presentation of this content. We strive to use only those contents whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the “pixel tags”, information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their privacy policies, which further contain information on the processing of data:
- Maps of the service “Google Maps” of the third party Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
- This page uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

(2) the processing is carried out using automated processes.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This should not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:
(1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and the data controller,
(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data under Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant about the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
