General information on data processing

1 Scope of processing personal data

We process personal data of our visitors only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. Personal data of our visitors is normally only processed after they have given their consent. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and where the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. (1) lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
Art. 6 para. (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Art. 6 para (1) lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis in the event that processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3 Data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be erased or made unavailable as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data shall also be made unavailable or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned legal standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data in order to enter into or fulfil a contract.

  • Website from which you visit our website (referrer URL)
  • Website you visit
  • Date and time of your access

This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data you may have provided and thus does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific person. This data is evaluated for statistical purposes in order to be able to optimise our Internet presence and our offers.

2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 para. (1) lit. f GDPR.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. (1) lit. f GDPR.

4 Duration of storage

The data shall be erased as soon as it is no longer needed for the original purpose of its collection. If data is collected for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”, to analyse how users use the site. The software places a cookie on the visitor’s computer (for cookies, see above). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data will be stored:

  1. Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s accessing system
  2. The accessed web page
  3. The website from which the visitor has reached the accessed web page (referrer)
  4. The subpages that are accessed from the accessed web page
  5. Time spent on the web page
  6. Frequency of access to the web page

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will usually be transmitted to and stored by Google on a server in the USA. However, if you have activated IP anonymisation on this website, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address that your browser transmits in the context of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You may set your browser software to refuse cookies before accessing the website, with the understanding that certain features of the website may not function properly without the aid of cookies. 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 such data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

2 Purpose of data processing

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing data according to Art. 6 para. (1) lit. f GDPR. By using the IP anonymisation function, the interest of visitors in protecting their personal data is sufficiently accounted for.

3 Duration of storage

The data shall be erased as soon as it is no longer needed for the original purpose of its collection.

4 Possibility of objection and removal

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, visitors can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages via the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. For this purpose, an opt-out cookie will be installed on the device. This will prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in the browser.

YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The corresponding plug-ins are operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, Ca 94066, USA. When visitors visit a page with the YouTube plug-in a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed about which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube will be able to relate your browsing activities to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of YouTube beforehand. When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about the user’s behaviour.

If you have disabled cookies for the Google Ad program you will not have to reckon with such cookies when viewing YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal use information in other cookies. If you do not want this to happen, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.
