Private Policy

The control­ler for the data proces­sing descri­bed below is named in the imprint.

When visiting our websites, so-called usage data is tempo­r­a­rily evalua­ted as a protocol on our website for statis­ti­cal purposes to improve the quality of our websites. This dataset consists of:

• the name and address of the reques­ted content,
• the date and time of the query,
• the amount of data trans­fer­red,
• the access status (content transfer, content not found),
• the descrip­tion of the web browser used and the opera­ting systems,
• the referral link, which indi­ca­tes from which page you came to ours.

The legal basis for the proces­sing of usage data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The proces­sing is based on the legi­ti­mate interest of provi­ding the contents of the website and ensuring a device- and browser-opti­mi­sed display.

In addition, we store the full IP address trans­mit­ted by your web browser strictly for a period of fourteen days, in the interest of being able to detect, file and elimi­nate attacks on our websites. At the end of this period, we delete or anony­mize the IP address. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

In order to protect your data as compre­hen­si­vely as possible from unwanted access, we imple­ment tech­ni­cal and orga­ni­sa­tio­nal measures. These measures include encryp­tion proce­du­res on our websites. Your data is trans­fer­red from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryp­tion. You can usually reco­gnize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.

We use cookies on our websites, which are required for the use of our websites.

Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your device. A distinc­tion is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and perma­nent cookies, which are stored beyond the indi­vi­dual session.

We do not use these neces­sary cookies for analysis, tracking, or adver­ti­sing purposes.

In some cases, these cookies only contain infor­ma­tion on certain settings and are not perso­nally related. They may also be neces­sary to enable the use, security, and imple­men­ta­tion of the site.

We use these cookies based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

You can set your browser so that it informs you about the place­ment of cookies. In this way, the use of cookies becomes trans­pa­rent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time using the appro­priate browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our websites may then not be displayed and some func­tions may no longer be tech­ni­cally available.

We use web analy­tics tools to design our websites in accordance with the needs of our visitors. This creates usage profiles based on pseud­onyms. For this purpose, perma­nent cookies are stored on your device and accessed by us. In addition, it is possible that we retrieve iden­ti­fiers related to your browser or device (e.g., a so-called browser finger­print or your full IP address). This allows us to reco­g­nise retur­ning visitors and count them as such.

In addition, we use the follo­wing func­tions as part of visitor measu­re­ment:

• We supple­ment the pseud­ony­mous data with addi­tio­nal data provided by third-party provi­ders. This allows us to record demo­gra­phic charac­te­ristics of our visitors, e.g. infor­ma­tion on age, gender and place of resi­dence.
• We use a tracking method that allows us to capture and subse­quently evaluate the mouse cursor movement of our visitors.
• We create explo­ra­tive click paths and browsing beha­viour analysis based on contex­tual data, inclu­ding usage history on other sites with also enabled cookies.

The legal basis for this data proces­sing is your consent if you have given your consent via our consent banner.

Which third-party provi­ders do we use in this context?

Below we list the third-party provi­ders with whom we colla­bo­rate within the context of our visitor measu­re­ment. If data is proces­sed outside the EU or the EEA (in parti­cu­lar in the USA) in this context, we provide infor­ma­tion about the level of data protec­tion in the follo­wing table.

Adequate level of data protec­tion: For trans­fers to the U.S., an adequate level of data protec­tion is ensured due to the certi­fi­ca­tion of the provider under the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Frame­work).

We share your data with service provi­ders that support us in the opera­tion of our websites and the asso­cia­ted proces­ses as part of data proces­sing on behalf of the control­ler pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. These are, for example, hosting service provi­ders. Our service provi­ders are strictly bounded by our instruc­tions and are contrac­tually obli­ga­ted accor­din­gly.

In the follo­wing, we will name the proces­sors with whom we work, if we have not already done so in the above text of the data protec­tion decla­ra­tion. If data may be proces­sed outside the EU or the EEA in this context, we inform you about this in the follo­wing table.

Right to recti­fi­ca­tion (Art. 16 GDPR)
