The controller responsible for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2.1 When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the page server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data are neither passed on nor used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g. orders or enquiries to the controller) this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the character string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line.

Google Cloud CDN

We use a content delivery network provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

This service enables us to deliver large media files such as graphics, page content or scripts faster via a network of regionally distributed servers. Processing is carried out to safeguard our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

Data may also be transferred to Google LLC, USA.

We have concluded a data‑processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU‑US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are deleted again after the browser is closed (so‑called "session cookies"), others remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies ("third‑party cookies") to recognise your browser on your next visit ("persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the cookie settings overview of your web browser.

If personal data are also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out either in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR where consent has been given, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a user‑friendly and effective design of the site visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them, accept cookies in certain cases or generally reject them.

Please note that if cookies are not accepted the functionality of our website may be restricted.

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or e‑mail) personal data are collected. Which data are collected can be seen from the respective contact form. These data are stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing these data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

YouTube

This website uses plugins for displaying and playing videos from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Data may also be transferred to Google LLC, USA.

When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers at the latest when a video is played, in order to load the content. Certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour, compile playback statistics and prevent abusive behaviour.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider while visiting the site, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish the assignment to your account, you must log out before clicking the playback button.

All of the above‑mentioned processing operations, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, are only carried out if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "cookie‑consent tool" provided on the website.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU‑US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

7.1 The applicable data protection law grants you the following rights with regard to the processing of your personal data (rights of access and intervention), whereby the legal provisions cited determine the prerequisites for their exercise:

• Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR;
• Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR;
• Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR;
• Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR;
• Right to notification pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR;
• Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR;
• Right to withdraw consent given pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR;
• Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if relevant – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data processed within the framework of contractual or quasi‑contractual obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract and/or there is no legitimate interest on our part in further storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this policy on specific processing situations, stored personal data are otherwise deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
