Privacy Policy Status: 15.05.2022

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. The use of our website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed by means of this privacy policy about the rights to which they are entitled.As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Definitions The privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for directives and regulations when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms: a) personal data Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). 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. b) data subject Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller. c) processing Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction. d) restriction of processingRestriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future. e) profiling Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements. f) pseudonymisation Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. g) controller or controller responsible for the processing Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law. h) processor Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. i) recipient Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients. j) third party Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data. k) consent Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Cookies / SessionStorage / LocalStorage The internet pages partly use so-called cookies, LocalStorage and SessionStorage. This serves to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Local Storage and SessionStorage is a technology that stores data on your computer or mobile device in your browser. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser. You can prevent the use of cookies, LocalStorage and SessionStorage by adjusting the settings in your browser accordingly.Numerous internet pages 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 internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables visited internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject 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, this website can provide users 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 in the sense of the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data every time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.The data subject 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, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information The website collects a series of general data and information with each call of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. Collected can be the (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the internet page from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-web pages which are controlled via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.When using these general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by us statistically and furthermore with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal 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.

Registration on our website The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller results from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for their own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented, and these data enable, if necessary, the investigation of committed criminal offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. A transfer of this data to third parties does not take place in principle, unless there is a legal obligation to transfer or the transfer serves criminal prosecution.The registration of the data subject with voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.The controller shall provide any data subject with information at any time upon request as to what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or instruction of the data subject, provided that no legal retention obligations conflict with this. The entirety of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

Contact possibility via the website The website contains, due to legal regulations, information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not transferred to third parties.

Comment function in the blog on the website We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the controller's website. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more people, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.If a data subject leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information about the time of the comment entry and the username chosen by the data subject (pseudonym) are stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties by a submitted comment or posts illegal content. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest, so that they could exculpate themselves in the event of a legal violation. This collected personal data is not transferred to third parties, unless such transfer is legally required or serves the legal defense of the controller.

Gravatar For comments, the Gravatar service from Auttomatic is used. Gravatar matches your email address and – if you are registered there – displays your avatar image next to the comment. If you are not registered, no image will be displayed. It should be noted that all registered WordPress users are automatically registered with Gravatar. Details about Gravatar: https://de.gravatar.comRoutine deletion and blocking of personal dataThe controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as far as this has been provided for by the European legislator for directives and regulations or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.If the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator for directives and regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal provisions.

Legal basis of processing Article 6 I lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6 I lit. d GDPR.Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third partyIf the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.Period for which the personal data will be storedThe criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provisionWe inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him. Non-provision of the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the non-provision of the personal data would have.Existence of automated decision-makingAs a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

General Cookies The following cookies are technically necessary cookies.A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller for the processing of personal data, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.With each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes with each call of our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before calling up our website.The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
