Scope

Users receive information through this privacy policy about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider.

The legal framework for data protection is provided by the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

Collection of general information

With each access to this offering, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity.

Collected data includes the website name, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our website), and the IP address.

Without this data, it would be technically impossible to deliver and display the website content. Therefore, the collection of this data is essential. In addition, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes to optimize our offering and technology. We also reserve the right to check the log files retrospectively if there is a suspicion of illegal use of our offering.

Provision of paid services

To provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment information.

To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods (e.g., SSL) over HTTPS, reflecting the latest technological standards.

Newsletter

If you sign up for our newsletter, we use the data you provide solely for this purpose or to inform you about relevant conditions related to this service or registration. We do not pass this data on to third parties.

To receive the newsletter, a valid email address is required. The IP address used for the newsletter sign-up and the date of the registration are also stored. These data serve as proof in case of misuse, such as if a third-party email is used to sign up for the newsletter. To ensure that an email address is not misused by third parties, we use the legally compliant “Double-Opt-In” procedure. This process involves logging the newsletter request, sending the confirmation email, and receiving the registration confirmation.

You can revoke your consent to store your data, email address, and its use for the newsletter at any time. A link for revocation is provided in every newsletter and on the website. You can also communicate your revocation via the contact details provided in this document.

Contact form

If you contact us via the online form or by email, we store the information you provide to answer your inquiry and possible follow-up questions.

Integration of third-party services and content

Our offering may include content, services, and performances from other providers. Examples include maps from Google Maps, videos from YouTube, and graphics and images from other websites. To display this data in the user’s browser, the transmission of the IP address is necessary. The third-party providers (referred to as “third parties”) perceive the IP address of the user.

Even if we strive to only use third-party providers who require the IP address solely for content delivery, we have no control over whether the IP address is stored. This process may serve statistical purposes. If we become aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users.

Cookies

This website uses so-called cookies, which are text files stored on your computer by the server. These files contain information about the browser, IP address, operating system, and internet connection. This data is not shared with third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Cookies serve two main purposes. They make navigation easier and allow for the proper display of the website. They are not used to introduce viruses or run programs.

Users can also access our offering without cookies by adjusting their browser settings. Please refer to your browser’s help function to learn how to disable cookies. However, disabling cookies may impair certain functions of this website and reduce the user experience. You can manage online ad cookies at these sites: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ (Europe).

We use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner” to manage the cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) used, as well as the related consents. Details on the functioning of “Real Cookie Banner” can be found here: https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/.

The legal basis for processing personal data in this context is Art. 6(1)(c) and Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in managing cookies, similar technologies, and related consents.

Providing personal data is neither legally nor contractually required for concluding a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data. However, if you do not provide it, we cannot manage your consents.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of your use of the 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. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will first be truncated 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 truncated there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to fully use all the features of this website.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics.

Facebook Social Plug-in

We integrate plug-ins from the social network Facebook (address: 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) on our website. You can recognize the plug-ins by the Like button or the Facebook logo. For a complete list of Facebook plug-ins, visit: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

If you visit a page on our website that contains a Facebook plug-in, a direct connection to Facebook is established. We have no influence on the nature and scope of the data that Facebook collects, stores, and processes. We can only inform you to the best of our knowledge.

Facebook receives information through the plug-in that you have visited the corresponding page of our offer. This also applies to users who are not registered on Facebook. In such cases, there is a possibility that Facebook stores the IP address.

If you are logged into your Facebook account and visit a page on our website with a Facebook plug-in, your visit may be linked directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins, such as clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, this information is transmitted to Facebook.

To prevent Facebook from linking your visit to our pages with your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can block Facebook plug-ins with browser add-ons (e.g., “Facebook Blocker”).
