Rights with regard to personal data

It is generally possible to use our website without disclosing your personal information.

Upon request, you will receive information from us at any time and free of charge about the personal data stored about you and can have incorrect data corrected (Art. 15 and Art. 16 GDPR). If the legal requirements are met, you can also request the blocking or deletion of the stored data (Art. 17 and Art. 18 GDPR).

In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in the context of the performance of public tasks at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR in order to stop the processing of your personal data. Processing will be stopped in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR unless compelling legitimate grounds can be demonstrated on the part of the controller which make processing necessary.

Consent to the collection, use and processing of personal data

Outside of legal obligations, personal data may only be collected, used or processed with (and within the scope of) your consent. To ensure this, you may be asked at various points during the use of our website to consent to our data protection provisions or to the processing of your data for a specific purpose (e.g. contacting us using the contact form). You must not suffer any disadvantage if you do not give your consent or if you withdraw your consent. Revocation can only be declared with effect for the future.

Consent by minors

Persons under the age of 18 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their legal guardians. In accordance with Art. 8 GDPR, children up to the age of 16 may only give such consent with the consent of their legal guardians.

Data security

We use technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access and from manipulation, transmission, loss or destruction. We regularly review our security procedures and adapt them to technological progress. All data transmitted to and by us is protected by suitable encryption procedures during and after its transportation.

Disclosure and transfer of personal data

All personal data will only be passed on with your express consent or on the basis of a legal obligation and will not be used for any purposes other than those stated in our privacy policy.

Data collection, data use and processing
Electronic data collection within the website

If you are asked to enter data about yourself on our website, this data is transmitted via the Internet using SSL encryption in order to protect your data from unauthorized access.

Electronic mail (e-mail)

If you send us e-mails, your e-mail address will only be used for correspondence with you. Information that you send to us unencrypted by e-mail may be read by third parties during transmission. As a rule, we are also unable to verify your identity and do not know who is behind an e-mail address, so that legally secure communication by simple e-mail is therefore not guaranteed. We also use so-called SPAM filters against unwanted advertising, which in rare cases can also automatically classify normal e-mails as unwanted advertising and delete them. E-mails containing harmful programs (“viruses”) are automatically deleted by us in all cases.

Contact forms

If you use our contact form, your data will be encrypted using an SSL connection (https://) and protected in accordance with Section 13 (7) TMG.

In addition, you will be asked to confirm your consent to our privacy policy by clicking on the checkbox contained in the form. Your request will only be sent to us after you have given your consent. The information you send us will be stored exclusively for the purpose of processing your request, will only be used to process your request and will be deleted after it has been dealt with, provided that deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention/documentation obligations.

The following data is logged during an ongoing connection

The transmitted IP address is logged as an anonymous request for statistical purposes in a shortened form at domain level, which does not contain any personal data, so that it is no longer possible to identify you.

After the end of the connection, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to individual users.

Disclaimer external links

External links open in a new window. This method of accessing and linking means that we do not automatically store this “external information” temporarily, so that we are not responsible for the data protection of this external content. Through external links we only provide access to the use of this content (§ 8 TMG): We are not responsible for this content, as we have neither initiated the transmission of the information nor selected or changed the addressee of the transmitted information or the transmitted information itself.

Social media plugins

Due to the currently still uncertain legal situation, we have decided not to use social media plugins (such as those from Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter, Xing, etc.) for the time being.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can find more information on the handling of user data in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
