The data protection declaration applies regardless of the domains, systems, platforms and devices used (e.g. desktop or mobile) on which the online service is executed.

The term "user" includes all customers and visitors of our online offer. The terms utilized, such as "user", are to be understood as gender-neutral.

(hereinafter referred to as "Provider", "we" or "us").

 

3. principles on the processing of personal data

We process users' personal data only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations in accordance with the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means that we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and to provide our contractual services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

The personal data will be processed in particular for the following purposes on the basis of legal permissions or consents of the users:

- to provide, execute, maintain, optimise and secure our services and user benefits;

- to ensure effective customer service and technical support.

 

We take organisational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art in order to ensure that the provisions of data protection laws are complied with and to protect the data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorised persons.

 

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a to d of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, on the free movement of such data and on the repeal of Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter: DS-GVO).

 

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be stored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data subject is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

 

4. collection of access data

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example

Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, user's operating system, referrer URL (previously visited page), IP address and requesting provider.

This information is technically necessary for the correct delivery of content requested by you from websites and is mandatory when using the Internet.

We use the protocol data without allocation to the person of the user or other profiling according to the legal regulations only for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of our online offer. However, we reserve the right to subsequently check the log data if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use on the basis of concrete indications.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

 

 

5. cookies & range measurement

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. When a user visits a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that uniquely identifies the browser when the user visits the site again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.

 

The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

(1) IP address,

(2) browser used,

(3) Operating system

(4) Your connection to the Internet.

(5) Language settings

 

Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies can be used to help you navigate and view our web pages correctly.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

 

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via the settings of your browser. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how you can change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not function if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these it is necessary that the browser is recognized also after a page change.

 

We need cookies for the following applications:

(1) Adoption of language settings

(2) Remembering search terms

(3) Remembering Language Settings

 

The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

In these purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that all functions of the website can no longer be used to their full extent.

 

6. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

 

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online services by users, to compile reports on activities within this online service and to provide us with other services associated with the use of this online service and the Internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

 

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened 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 is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

 

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data. Users may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on their browser and they may refuse the processing of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on Google, and they may refuse the processing of cookies by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

Further information on the use of data for advertising purposes by Google, setting and objection options can be found on the websites of Google: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners ("Use of data by Google for your use of websites or apps of our partners"), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ("Use of data for advertising purposes"), http://www.google.de/settings/ads ("Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising") and http://www.google.com/ads/preferences ("Determine which advertising Google shows you").

 

7. e-mail contact

On our website, under "Contact", you will find an e-mail address that can be used for electronic contact. If a user makes use of this possibility, the following data will be transmitted to us and stored:

 

(1) E-mail address

(2) Inquiry / content of the e-mail, if applicable with name

(3) date and time of the request

 

If you contact us via the e-mail address provided, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.

The processing of personal data in this context serves us solely to process the establishment of contact. In case of contacting us by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data transmitted by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The user has the possibility to object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

The objection of the storage is possible by establishment of contact to the under 2. as responsible designated by e-mail, letter or on telephone way. In this case, all personal data stored in the course of establishing contact will be deleted.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO.

 

8. integration of services and contents of third parties

It may happen that content or services of third party providers, such as city maps or fonts from other websites, are integrated within our online offering. The integration of content from third-party providers always requires that the third-party providers perceive the IP address of the users, since they would not be able to send the content to the user's browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. Furthermore, the providers of the third-party content can set their own cookies and process the user data for their own purposes. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We will use these contents as data-savingly and data-avoidably as possible and select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security. We endeavour to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence on whether a third party provider stores the IP address for statistical purposes or collects additional user data. As far as this is known to us, we inform the users about it.

 

The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their contents, along with links to their data protection declarations, which contain further information on the processing of data and, in some cases already mentioned here, possible objections (so-called opt-out):

 

- External fonts from Google, Inc., https://www.google.com/fonts ("Google Fonts"). The integration of the Google Fonts takes place by a server call with Google (usually in the USA). Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.

- Maps of the "Google Maps" service of the third-party provider Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.

- Videos from the "YouTube" platform of third-party provider Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.

 

9. user rights and deletion of data

Users have the right,

- to receive information in accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO, including whether and which personal data we have stored about you, and for what purpose;

- to request the correction of inaccurate data in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO;

- to request the deletion of their personal data in accordance with Art. 17 DSGVO ("right to be forgotten");

- as well as to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of the assumption of unlawful data processing.

 

Users also have the right to revoke their data protection consent at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.

In principle, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and there are no legal obligations to retain them.

 

10. changes to the data protection declaration

We reserve the right to amend this privacy statement to reflect current legal requirements and new or amended services and/or data processing protocols. Your new visit will then be subject to the new Privacy Policy. However, this only applies to declarations on data processing. If user consent is required or components of the data protection declaration contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, the changes will only be made with the consent of the users.

 

Users are requested to inform themselves regularly about the content of the data protection declaration.
