The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, disclosure, availability, and separation of the data. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects‘ rights, the deletion of data, and the response to data breaches. We also take the protection of personal data into account during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).

Cooperation with data processors and third parties

If, in the context of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit them to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, is necessary for the performance of the contract), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called „order processing contract,“ this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Transfer to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to third parties, this only takes place if it is done to fulfill our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or leave the data in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. This means that the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g., for the USA through the „Privacy Shield“) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called „standard contractual clauses“).

Collection of access data and log files

We, or our hosting provider, collect data on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, transferred data volume, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

For security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud), log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data, the further storage of which is necessary for evidence purposes, is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

Online presences in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users active there and to inform them about our services. When calling up the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. DSGVO), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC („Google“). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (Information on Privacy Shield).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer, and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offer and the use of the internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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 shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Plugin.

For more information about Google’s data usage, settings, and opt-out options, please see Google’s Privacy Policy and the settings for displaying advertisements by Google.

Personal data of users will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

Meta Pixel

We use the so-called Facebook Pixel on our site. This is a service and product of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, hereinafter referred to as „Meta“. This service is used for the analysis, evaluation, and tracking of user behavior. Additionally, targeted advertisements can be displayed via the Facebook and Instagram channels using the data and options available to us. When a page is accessed on which the Meta Pixel is set, this information is transmitted to Facebook and is associated with this user if the user is simultaneously logged into Facebook. This information is not directly accessible to the operators of the website, and they cannot draw any conclusions about the respective users. Meta is also obliged to act in accordance with the standards and applicable data protection regulations, as it is obliged to the US-EU Privacy Shield agreement with its headquarters in the USA. If you wish to prohibit the transmission and storage of data about yourself and your behavior on our website by Meta, please follow this link and adjust your settings accordingly.

Online presences in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the active customers, interested parties, and users there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise specified in our privacy policy, we process the data of users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g., by writing posts on our online presences or sending us messages.

Integration of services and content from third parties

Within our online offer, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. DSGVO) to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as „content“).

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, as they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as „web beacons“) for statistical or marketing purposes. The „pixel tags“ can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, as well as further information about the use of our online offer, and may be linked to such information from other sources.
