You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

We use a provider for hosting our website and presenting the page content that provides its services exclusively on servers within the European Union, either itself or through selected subcontractors.

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.

We have concluded a processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device longer and enable the storage of page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can see the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.

If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the visit.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.

5) Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant matter has been finally clarified and provided there are no statutory retention obligations.

6) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie-Consent Tool

This website uses a “cookie-consent tool” to obtain effective user consents for consent-requiring cookies and cookie-based applications. The “cookie-consent tool” is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when they access the page, where consent can be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking a box. Through the use of the tool, all consent-requiring cookies/services are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the respective user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.

If, in individual cases, the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) does occur for storage, assignment, or logging of cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in the legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie-consent tool, please refer to the respective user interface on our website.
