The controller for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 During the merely informational use of our website, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect such data that your browser transmits to the page server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

Our visited website

Date and time at the moment of access

Amount of data sent in bytes

Source/reference from which you reached the page

Browser used

Operating system used

IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

For the hosting of our website and the display of the page content, we use a provider who provides their services exclusively on servers within the European Union, either themselves or through selected subcontractors. All data collected on our website is processed on these servers. We have concluded an order processing contract (Data Processing Agreement) with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called "session cookies"), while some of these cookies remain longer on your end device and enable page settings to be saved (so-called "persistent cookies"). In the latter case, you can find 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 either in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in the event of consent granted, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually on their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

5) Contacting Us

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of 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 establishing contact 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 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your inquiry. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified and provided that there are no statutory storage obligations to the contrary.

6) Web Analysis Services

1&1 IONOS WebAnalytics

This website uses the web analysis service of the following provider: 1&1 IONOS Internet SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany.

With the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading end device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the end device used, such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this enables the evaluation of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally excludes a direct personal reference. A merging with clear data collected about your person in another way does not take place.

All processing operations described above, in particular the reading or storing of information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded an order processing contract (Data Processing Agreement) with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

7) Page Functionalities

Google Maps

This website uses an online map service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to display geographical information visually. By using this service, our location is shown to you, making any travel directions easier.

As soon as you access those subpages into which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the assignment to your profile with Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in the display of personalized advertising, market research, and/or the demand-oriented design of Google websites. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google directly to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then no longer be used.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the procedure described above for making an objection.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

8) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "Cookie Consent Tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "Cookie Consent Tool" is displayed to users when they access the page in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking a box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's end device if consent has been granted.

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, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded an order processing contract (Data Processing Agreement) with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information on the operator and the setting options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING RESERVES THE RIGHT IF WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING REASONS FOR PROCESSING WORTHY OF PROTECTION WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

10) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is measured on the basis of the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if relevant – additionally on the basis of the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of an express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided they are no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation and/or there is no longer a legitimate interest on our part in further storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
