General information on data processing
We only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
When processing personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) of the EU Data Protection Regulation serves as the legal basis.
This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. c DS-GVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) lit. f DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. A blocking or deletion of data is also carried out if a data subject is not in possession of the data.
Cooperation with processors and third parties
If we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties) as part of our processing, transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g, if a transfer of the data to third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR is necessary for the performance of a contract), you have given your consent, a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (e.g. when using 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.
Transfers 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 using the services of third parties or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this will only take place if it is done to fulfil 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 will only process or transfer the data in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DS-GVO. In other words, processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").
Rights of the data subject
Data subjects have the right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of their data as well as a right to object to the processing and the right to data portability.
Right to information
Every data subject has the right to Art. 15 GDPR the right to receive free information from us at any time about the personal data stored about him/her and a copy of this data.
You can request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.
Right to rectification
Any person concerned by the processing of personal data shall have the right to obtain the rectification without delay of inaccurate personal data concerning him. The data subject shall also have the right to obtain the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, having regard to the purposes of the processing.
Right to restriction of processing
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand that we restrict processing if one of the conditions laid down by the legislator in Art. 18 Paragraph 1 DS-GVO is met.
Right to erasure
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to demand that the personal data relating to him/her be deleted without delay if one of the reasons stated in Article 17 (1) of the DS-GVO applies.
Right to data portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning him/her provided to us by the data subject in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He/she also has the right to have this data communicated to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data has been made available, provided that the processing is based on the consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DS-GVO or Art. 9 para. 2 letter a DS-GVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DS-GVO and that the processing is carried out by means of automated procedures.
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR or if your personal data is processed to safeguard legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing for reasons arising from your particular situation in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. Where we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
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 pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, 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.
You can assert your rights against us as a matter of priority.
To exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, an informal notification stating which data processing you object to is sufficient. You will find the contact details above in this declaration.
Collection of general data and information
This website collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded
- the browser types and versions used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
- the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
- the date and time of access to the website,
- an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system and
- other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to correctly deliver the content of our website, to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, to ensure the long-term functionality of our systems and the technology of our website and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, we have a legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
Contact options
Via inquiry (contact form)
There is a contact form on our website which can be used to contact us electronically. If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.
These data are:
- First name, last name
- E-mail address
- Telephone number (optional)
The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:
- The IP address of the user
- Date and time of receipt of your request
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during transmission is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data as part of the transmission in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and reference is made to this privacy policy. We use the "Pardot" service to use the contact form. You can find more information about "Pardot" under "Use of Pardot Marketing Automation System ("Pardot MAS")".
E-mail contact
Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, complete data security on the transmission path to the IT systems cannot be guaranteed. The processing of your request when you contact us by e-mail is based on our legitimate interest in processing your request and being able to contact you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Use of cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that your browser can store on your computer. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
Use of Google Analytics 4 (with anonymization function)
The Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) is integrated on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
We use the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our website is from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on your end device. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject's computer is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our websites are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html . Google Analytics is available at this link www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ and is explained in more detail.
Application and use of Google Ads
The 'Google Adwords' service is integrated on this website. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results as well as in the form of display ads, which may also include the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, which are used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of 'Google AdWords' is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on this website.
If a data subject reaches this website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject's computer by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online store system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has reached this website via an AdWords ad has been identified.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for this website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the USA. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by this website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's computer. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use services from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these services are active, your
personal data is transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that it may not be possible to guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU in these countries.
For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
