Section 2

General information on data processing

Scope of the processing of personal data

We only collect and utilise the personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary for the provision of an operational website and of our content and services.

Terminology used

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”); 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 (e.g. a cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

“Processing” means any operation, or series of operations, that is carried out with or without the help of automated procedures in connection with person-specific data. The term is comprehensive and includes virtually any handling of data.

Any natural or legal person, authority, establishment or other institution that can, alone or in conjunction with others, decide upon the purposes and means of processing of person-specific data is referred to as a “data controller”.

With regard to further terms on the subject of data protection, we refer you to the definitions in Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Relevant legal bases

Pursuant to Article 13 GDPR, we hereby notify you of the legal basis of our data processing operations. Insofar as the legal basis is not identified in the privacy policy, the following applies:

The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6 para. 1 lit. a) of the GDPR; the legal basis for the processing in order to perform our services and the execution of contractual measures as well as the answering of inquiries is Article 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing data in order to fulfil our legal obligations is Article 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR and the legal basis for processing data in order to safeguard our legitimate interests is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis.

Transfer of data 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 Switzerland), or if we use third-party services, or disclose or transfer data to other persons or companies, this only occurs if we are required to do so in order to fulfil (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a statutory requirement or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to express consent or contractually required communications, we process or allow the data to be processed only in third countries with a recognised level of data protection or on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Article 44 to 49 GDPR).


Section 3

Provision of the website

Collection of access data and logfiles

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Article 6 para.1 lit. f) GDPR.

The access data include the name of the website accessed, the file accessed, the date and time of retrieval, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, the browser type and version, the operating system of the user, the IP address, the requesting provider, the referring URL (previously visited website), and websites that are retrieved by the user’s system. Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. To this end, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Deletion of data

Data processed by us are deleted or restricted in their processing. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this privacy policy, data we save are erased as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose, insofar as their deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements. If data cannot be deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing shall be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies for example to data required to be retained for purposes relating to commercial or fiscal law.

Data recorded as part of customer surveys is anonymised, i.e. “logically” deleted. While personal data (such as names or contact details) is deleted in this way, anonymous information is retained in order to enable ongoing evaluations without reference to individuals.

Contact form

When you contact us via the contact form, your details will be used to process the contact request and to process it pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, or in cases of inquiries aimed at the conclusion of a contract, pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. b) of the GDPR. If you send a message via the contact form, SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology with a key length of 128 bits is used to transmit this information. We delete requests insofar as they are no longer necessary, taking into account legal archiving obligations.
