Your rights as a data subject
You may exercise the following rights at any time using the contact details provided for our data protection officer:
Information about the data we hold about you and how it is processed;
Rectification of incorrect personal data;
Erasure of the data we hold about you;
Restriction of data processing where we are not yet permitted to erase your data due to statutory obligations;
Objection to our processing of your data; and
Data portability, provided you have consented to the processing of your data or have entered into a contract with us.
If you have given us your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
You may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for you at any time. The competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state in which you live, work or where the alleged infringement occurred. A list of supervisory authorities for the non-public sector, including their addresses, is available at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
Purposes of data processing by the controller and third parties
We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We share your personal data with third parties only if:
You have given your express consent;
The processing is necessary to perform a contract with you;
The processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation; or
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 your data not being disclosed.
Cooperation with processors and third parties
If, in the course of processing, we disclose data to other persons or companies (processors or third parties), transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of statutory permission (for example, if transferring data to third parties such as payment service providers is necessary for the performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), if you have consented, if a legal obligation requires it, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (for example, when using agents, web hosts, etc.). If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called data processing agreement, this is done on the basis of Article 28 GDPR.
Erasure or blocking of data
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation. We therefore retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various statutory retention periods. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, the relevant data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory requirements.
Collection of general information when you visit our website
When you access our website, information of a general nature is collected automatically by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes details such as the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider and similar information. This consists exclusively of information that does not allow conclusions to be drawn about your identity.
This information is technically necessary to deliver the website content you request correctly and is necessarily generated when using the internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:
Ensuring a trouble-free connection to the website;
Ensuring the smooth use of our website;
Evaluating system security and stability; and
Other administrative purposes.
The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest arising from the purposes of data collection stated above. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your identity. The recipients of the data are only the controller and, where applicable, processors.
We may statistically evaluate anonymous information of this kind to optimise our website and its underlying technology.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we use so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files transferred from a website server to your hard drive. They automatically provide us with certain data, such as your IP address, the browser and operating system used, and your connection to the internet.
Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transfer viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to make navigation easier and display our web pages correctly.
Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
In principle, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time in your browser settings. Please use your internet browser's help functions to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not function if you have disabled the use of cookies.
Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, because IP anonymisation is enabled on these web pages, Google first truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and compile reports on activity on the website. Further related services are then to be provided on the basis of website and internet use. The processing is based on the website operator's legitimate interest.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website, including your IP address, and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Browser Add-on for Disabling Google Analytics.
In addition to, or as an alternative to, the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our web pages by clicking this link. This installs an opt-out cookie on your device. It prevents Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and this browser in the future for as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
Changes to our data protection provisions
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services in the Privacy Policy, for example when introducing new services. The new Privacy Policy will then apply when you visit again.
