Unless otherwise stated, in the processing described below, you as a prospective customer, communication partner, or user of, for example, the website or online service are the data subject within the meaning of the GDPR.
Your data is often collected when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter in a contact form or provide to us in another way.
When you visit our website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with so-called analysis programs. In addition, we may use other tools and plugins from third-party providers. Detailed information on these analysis programs, tools, and plugins can be found in the further explanations of this privacy policy.
Our IT systems collect other data automatically or with your consent when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g., Internet browser, operating system, or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
Unless further specific storage periods are specified in the further explanations of this privacy policy, we will delete your personal data once the purpose for processing this data has been fulfilled. If you request deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless there are other compelling legal reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods, assertion or defense of legal claims). If the latter is the case, deletion will take place as soon as these reasons no longer apply.
Legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

We host our website in Germany with Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany (hereinafter Hetzner)
When you visit our website, Hetzner collects various log files, including your IP addresses. For further details, please refer to Hetzner’s privacy policy:
The use of Hetzner is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is displayed as reliably as possible.

Our site uses Google Fonts, which are provided by Google, to ensure a uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers.
Further information on Google Fonts can be found at and in Google's privacy policy at.
Recipients of personal data
We work with various external parties in the course of our business activities. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.
We only pass on personal data to external bodies or third parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract (Art. 6 (1) (a)), if we are legally obliged to do so (Art. 6 (1) (c), e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
When using processors, we only pass on your personal data on the basis of a valid contract for processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
Data processing in non-secure third countries
We only process personal data or have it processed in third countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) if either express consent has been given or a recognized level of data protection exists in that third country and/or if contractual obligations have been entered into through standard contractual clauses and appropriate additional safeguards or corresponding certifications are in place.
Among other things, we use services and tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries.
Data security
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser begins with "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
Encryption protects data transmission from illegal access by third parties. If this option is not available, you can also choose not to send certain data via the Internet.
Storage period
Unless specific storage periods are mentioned in this privacy policy, we process your personal data until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place as soon as these reasons no longer apply.
Your rights
If we process personal data about you, you are a data subject within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and you have the following rights with regard to your personal data:
§ Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
§ Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
§ Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
§ Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
§ Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
§ Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
An overview of the German supervisory authorities can be found at
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Objection to advertising emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.
Visiting our website
Server log files
For technical reasons, your browser automatically transmits data to our web server each time you visit our website. The following information is recorded in so-called server log files:
· IP address used
· Date and time of the server request
· Browser, including language and version
· Operating system used
· Host name of the accessing computer
· Referrer URL (website from which the request originates)
· Website visited
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary to transmit the website; for this purpose, your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The aforementioned data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, it serves to optimize our offering and the security of our information technology systems (e.g., for attack detection). The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes.
The legal basis for temporary storage and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free presentation, stable operation, and optimization of the website; this requires the processing of server log files.
The log files are processed exclusively on our own servers. Access is only granted to internally responsible persons according to the need-to-know principle.
The above-mentioned data is only stored for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes. The data required to provide the website (in particular your IP address) is retained for the duration of the session and then deleted. The data logged in server log files is stored for a maximum of 7 days to ensure the operation, security, and optimization of the website and is then automatically deleted. Further storage may take place for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud or to defend against attacks); data that must be retained for evidentiary purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for embedding videos).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functions or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions you have requested (e.g., map services) or for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. We have a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. If consent to the storage of cookies or comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG). Consent can be revoked at any time.
When you visit our website, you can decide for yourself whether you want to accept cookies that are not necessary for technical operation. You can also set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Please note that deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
You can adjust your cookie settings at any time via the data protection icon (Usercentrics button) at the bottom left of the website.

Google Analytics records and systematically evaluates interactions by website visitors.
Google Analytics enables website operators to analyze the behavior of website visitors.
This provides the website operator with various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and user origin. This data is summarized in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.
Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.
This involves technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually also transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google Analytics IP anonymization is activated. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. 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, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Purpose of data processing
The processing of the user's (website visitor's) personal data with the help of Google Analytics enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we can compile the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to improve our website and its user-friendliness.

Privacy policy for social media
Scope and purpose of data processing
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below. Social networks can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media sites triggers numerous data processing operations that are relevant to data protection. Specifically:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection is carried out, for example, via cookies that are stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of social media portals can create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis for data processing
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Duration of storage
The data collected directly by us via our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to do so, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
Responsible party and assertion of rights
When you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal.
Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
