Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our website. In this Policy, we would like to inform you about how we handle your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Controller

The Controller for the data processing operations described below is the office named in the imprint.

Usage Data

When you visit our website, our web server temporarily evaluates usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data consists of the following data categories:

• the name and address of the requested content,
• the date and time of the query,
• of the transferred data volume,
• the access status (content transferred, content not found),
• the description of the used web browser and operating system,
• the referral link, which indicates from which page you reached ours,
• the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened in such a way that a personal reference can no longer be established.

The above-mentioned log data will only be evaluated anonymously.

Storage of IP Adresses for Security Purposes 

We store the complete IP address transmitted by your web browser for a period of seven days in the interest of detecting, limiting and eliminating attacks on our web pages. After this period, we delete or anonymize the IP address.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.  

Data Security

We take technical and organizational measures to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access. These measures include encryption procedures on our web pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption.

You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.

Matomo

We use the web analysis tool "Matomo" to design our websites according to your needs. Matomo creates user profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your end device and accessed by us. In this way we are able to recognize and measure returning visitors. 

The data processing is based on your consent if you have given your consent via our cookie banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please follow this link and make the appropriate settings via our banner.

Contact Form

You may contact us third-party via our contact form. In order to use our contact form, we will require you to provide the data marked as mandatory.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, being our legitimate interest to respond to your request.

You can decide whether or not you would like to provide us with further information. This information is provided voluntarily and is not required to contact us.

We process your voluntary details on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Your data will only be processed to process your request. We will delete your data if they are no longer required and there are no legal obligations to retain them.

Where the processing of your data which is transmitted via the contact form is based on legitimate interest in accordance with   Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to that processing at any time. To do so, please use the email address provided in the imprint.

In addition, you can withdraw your consent to the processing of your voluntarily provided information at any time.  To do so, please use the email address provided in the imprint.

Map Services

On our web sites, we embed map services which are not stored on our servers. In order to prevent the automatic downloading of third-party content when you visit our web sites with embedded map services, we only show locally stored preview images of the maps as a first step. This does not provide the third-party provider with any information.

Only after you click on the preview image, will third-party content be downloaded. This provides the third party with information that you have accessed our site and with the usage data technically required for this purpose. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider.

By clicking on the preview image, you give us the consent to download contents of the third-party provider.

The legal basis for the embedding processing is your consent if you have previously given your consent by clicking on the preview image.

Please note that the embedding of some map services means that your data may be processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Newsletter Registration and Delivery

You may register to receive our newsletter on our website. Please note that we require certain data (your e-mail address at the minimum) to complete the newsletter registration.

We will only send the you the newsletter if you have given us your express consent. After you have completed the newsletter registration on our website, you will receive a confirmation e-mail at the e-mail address you provided (double opt-in).

You may withdraw your consent at any time. An easy way to withdraw your consent is, for example, to use the unsubscribe link provided in every newsletter.

As part of the newsletter registration process, we store certain data in addition to the above-mentioned data, as far as it is necessary to prove so that you have registered for our newsletter. This may include storing the complete IP address at the time of the registration or confirmation of the newsletter, as well as a copy of the confirmation mail sent by us.

The legal basis for the data processing is our legitimate interest to be able to account for the legality of the newsletter delivery according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Embedding of additional technical third-party content and functions

We use functions and content of third-party providers listed below to enhance our websites.

Calling up our websites will lead to downloading contents of the third-party providers who provide these functions and contents. As a result, the third-party provider receives the information that you have visited our site as well as the usage data technically required for this purpose.

We have no control on further data processing by the third-party provider.

The implementation is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to serve our legitimate interest of making our site as attractive and informative as possible.

Storage Period

Unless otherwise specified, we will delete your personal data if they are no longer required for the relevant processing purposes and no legal retention obligations oppose deletion.

Data Processors

We transfer your data to service providers who support us in the operation of our websites and related processes. These service providers are usually data processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. Our service providers are strictly bound by contracts and our instructions.

Any processors who may not have been previously disclosed are listed below. If data is transferred outside the EU or the EEA, we will also provide information on the adequate level of data protection.
