Thank you for visiting our website. We attach great importance to your privacy and the associated protection of your personal data. For this reason, our business practices are in accordance with the applicable legal provisions regarding data privacy and data security. For us it is important that you feel safe on our website. Therefore, we and our data protection officers ensure that the valid data privacy provisions are complied with.
your options to exercise your rights.
Please read carefully through the information below. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our data privacy officers. Please find the contact details at the bottom of this data privacy statement.
Data privacy is a complex topic. In order to facilitate the comprehensibility of this data privacy statement, we have compiled several basic explanations.
Simply put, "processing" (in short "P") according to Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GD-PR) [formerly referred to as "contract data processing" (in short "CDP") according to § 11 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)] refers to a service involving the collection, processing and/or utilisation of personal data upon instruction of the so-called responsible person by a service provider (processor according to GD-PR and contract data processor according to BDSG). Before a service provider is commissioned with such an order, we enter into a specific contract with that service provider and determine additional measures for the protection of your personal data.
"Cookies" are small text files that are saved to the terminal device you are using (e. g. computer or smartphone). The purpose of these files is to save certain settings and data required for the exchange of information between our system and your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the visited website from which the cookie data were sent, information regarding the age of the cookie, and an alphanumeric identification tag. Cookies allow the systems involved to identify the user's terminal device and to make possible default settings available immediately.
A "third party" is any natural or legal person or body other than the affected person, the responsible person, the processor and those persons authorised (under the direct responsibility of the responsible person or the processor) to process the personal data (see also Article 4, No 10 of the GD-PR). Therefore, as an example, we do not speak of a third party if personal data are forwarded to a service provider within the framework of processing according to Article 28 of the GD-PR or § 11 of the BDSG.
IP addresses are digit sequences that can be allocated to individual IT devices or groups. Similar to postal addresses, IP addresses are used to allocate data to the correct recipient. "Personal data" refers to any information related to an identified or identifiable natural person. Examples for such data are name and surname, date of birth, email address, residential address, bank and payment details, but also health data (see also Article 4, No 1 of the GD-PR) (detailed information regarding an identified or identifiable natural person according to § 3, Subsection 1 of the BDSG).
A "person responsible" according to Article 4, No 7 of the GD-PR (formerly referred to as "body responsible" according to § 3, Subsection 7 of the BDSG) is any person or body authorised to determine the purpose and means of personal data processing independently or in liaison with other decision makers. (in the present case: the website operator).
Should a body other than the aforementioned company be the "person responsible" according to the General Data Protection Regulation or the BDSG, you will be informed explicitly and separately, unless the above is clear and obvious.
We collect and use your personal data in accordance with the valid legal provisions and only for our own purposes. We do not transfer your data to third parties unless we are legally obliged or you have authorised us to do so. Insofar as we commission other service providers in order to provide our own services, and potentially need to grant these service providers access to your data, we will conclude a contract with these providers regarding the processing (in short: P contract) in accordance with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation or § 11 of the BDSG. Moreover, we will remain responsible for the protection of your personal data. Due to the above contract, our external service providers are not to be regarded as so-called third parties.
If you contact us via email, fax, telephone or by means of the contact forms we offer, we will use your personal data to get in touch with you as well as to provide you with the advice you enquired. Your personal data will only be further processed if legal provisions authorise us to do so or if you give us your permission.
Your personal data will be deleted if they are not subject to legal retention obligations, if you have asserted a claim regarding such deletion, if your data are no longer needed to fulfil the purpose for which they were stored in the first place, or if the storage of your data is legally inadmissible.
As a rule, your data are processed in Germany. In exceptional cases, the data you have submitted to us may be stored on servers within the European Union (EU). Should we no longer represent the "person responsible" in such a case, we will inform you about it.
It may occur that third-party contents such as YouTube videos, geographic imagery by Google-Maps, RSS feeds or images from other websites are integrated into this online service. This always presupposes that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") are capable of identifying the respective user's IP address, since they will normally not be able to send their contents to the user's browser without knowing their IP address. Therefore, the IP address is required for the presentation of these contents. We try to only integrate contents the providers of which will use the IP address only for the delivery of the above contents. However, we cannot guarantee that third-party providers will not store the IP address e.g. for statistical purposes. As soon as we become aware of such misuse, we inform our users about it.
