1. GENERAL DECLARATION

As a user of our website, you will receive all the necessary information in this privacy policy about how, to what extent and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect data from you and use it. We are particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits set by the legal requirements. Our data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This personal data is collected on a voluntary basis if this is possible for us. We also only pass this data on to third parties with your express consent. We ensure a high level of security for particularly confidential data by using SSL encryption. However, we would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the general dangers of Internet use, over which we have no control. Especially in e-mail traffic, your data is not secure without further precautions and may be collected by third parties.

3. DEFINITION OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data within the meaning of the GDPR means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Personal data will only be stored to the extent necessary to fulfill the agreed service, to comply with legal requirements or for the purpose stated below.

4. COLLECTION OF ANONYMIZED DATA/LOGFILES/IP-ADDRESSES

Our website collects a series of general data and information each time it is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The browser types and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, the date and time of access to the website, an Internet protocol address (IP address), the Internet service provider of the accessing system and other similar data and information which serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems can be recorded.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to correctly deliver the contents of our website, to optimize the contents of our website, to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. PURPOSES OF DATA PROCESSING

We only process your personal data for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if you have given your express consent, the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, the processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

6. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

You can exercise the following rights at any time using the contact details provided for our data protection officer: Information about your data stored by us and its processing, correction of incorrect personal data, deletion of your data stored by us, restriction of data processing if we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations, objection to the processing of your data by us and data portability if you have consented to the data processing or have concluded a contract with us. If you have given us your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

7. DELETION OR BLOCKING OF DATA

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for by the various storage periods stipulated by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. COOKIES

Our Internet pages use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish your individual browser from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. Cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser you are using, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

9. SSL ENCRYPTION

Our website uses SSL encryption when it comes to the transmission of confidential or personal content of our users. Please make sure that SSL encryption is activated on your side. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: The display in your browser line changes from “http://” to “https://”. Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Only transmit your confidential information if SSL encryption is activated and contact us if in doubt.

10. NEWSLETTER REGISTRATION

On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners about the company at regular intervals by means of newsletters. You can only receive our company’s newsletter if you have a valid e-mail address and you register to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties.

You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. Click on the link: “Unsubscribe newsletter”, which is included at the bottom of all emails we send. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time.
