What are Cookies?

Cookies are text files that contain small amounts of information and are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. On subsequent website visits, the cookies are sent back to the original website or another website that recognizes the respective cookie. Cookies are primarily used to ensure the proper or efficient functioning of the website and to provide information to the website operator.

LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

Your personal data is processed on the basis of the following legal bases:

If you have given us your consent to process your personal data, we will base the data processing on the consent you have given in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) of the General Data Protection Regulation. However, the processing of your personal data may also be necessary

INTEGRATION OF THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube or graphics from other websites, are integrated into this website. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) recognize your IP address. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the respective user's browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We strive to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if third-party providers store the IP address, for example for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we will inform you about it.

Our website and newsletters may contain links to and from third party websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we assume no responsibility or liability for such privacy policies or the compliance with data protection regulations of such third parties, except as required by law .

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analyzing and optimizing our online offering), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information about how you use our website.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The transfer of personal data in the USA takes place on the basis of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shields, under which Google is certified. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will first shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to 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.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

We would like to point out that Google Analytics has been expanded to include IP anonymization on this website in order to ensure the anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data. Personal data is automatically deleted after 26 months.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found in the Google Analytics terms and conditions at: https://www.google. com/analytics/terms/deor. under the Google Analytics overview on https://policies.google.com/?hl=de .

INFORMATION SECURITY; INTEGRITY AND STORAGE DURATION

We use appropriate technical, administrative and physical security measures to protect your personal information.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is not completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website. Any transmission is at your own risk.

We store your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy policy. The legislature has issued a variety of retention periods and obligations. Therefore, longer or shorter storage may be required by law in individual cases. After these periods have expired, the relevant data will be routinely deleted.

DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

If we share your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy, this may involve transferring your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When we transfer your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, we will always ensure that an adequate level of protection is guaranteed there by ensuring, where required by law, that at least one of the following appropriate safeguards is in place:

  • Transfer of personal data to countries that, in the opinion of the European Commission, offer an adequate level of protection for personal data (so-called “adequacy decision”);
  • Use of specific contracts approved by the European Commission which ensure personal data the same protection as it enjoys in the EEA;
  • Transferring personal data to an entity that has a valid “Privacy Shield” certification, thereby providing a level of protection for personal data similar to the EU standard; or
  • Transfer of personal data to an entity that has implemented binding internal data protection rules that comply with the EU level of protection for personal data.

You may be legally entitled to request a copy of the relevant guarantees. Please contact us as described in the “Contact” section.
