Name and address of the person responsible for the processing under the GDPR

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

Transfer to third countries

If we process data in a third country or if this happens in the context of the use of services of third parties or the passing on or transfer of data to other persons or companies, this only occurs if this happens to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, due to your consent, a legal obligation or due to our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual approvals, we process or leave the data in a third country only if the legal requirements are met (cf. Art. 45 GDPR). This means that processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so called Standard Clauses) and in appliance, to the extent necessary, of additional protective measures, e.g. pseudonymization, encryption or other technical means.

Cookies and right to object to direct advertising

Cookies are small files that are stored on the user's computer. Various data can be stored in the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after the user's visit to an online service. Temporary cookies or "session cookies" or "transient cookies" are cookies that are deleted after a user has left an online service and closed his browser. In such a cookie, for example, the content of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status can be stored. Cookies are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent" if they remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit it after several days. In such a cookie, the interests of the user can also be stored, which are used for range measurement or marketing purposes. "Third party cookies" are cookies offered by providers other than the responsible person who operates the online service (otherwise, only their cookies are referred to as "first party cookies").

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our Privacy Statement.

If the user does not wish cookies to be stored on his computer, he is asked to deactivate the corresponding option in his browser settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser settings. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online service.

Our legitimate interest in processing this data lies in improving the functionality of our website (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR).

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be raised for a variety of services, in particular in the case of tracking, via the US web-site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU web-site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, cookies can be stored by switching them off in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this online service can be used.

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions or their processing restricted. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the intended purpose and there are no legal storage obligations.

If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for economic or tax reasons.

Collection of access data and log files (server log files)

We and/or our hosting providers collect on the basis of our legitimate interests in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f.

The access data includes the

Rights of data subjects

Right of access

You have the right to request from us free confirmation of the processing of the data in question and to be informed of such data and to receive further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the provisions of the law.

Right of rectification

You have the right, in accordance with the law, to ask us, the data controller, to complete the data concerning you or to rectify the false data concerning you (cf. art. 16 DSGVO).

Right to cancellation or blocking

In accordance with the statutory provisions, you have the right to demand from us as the responsible party the immediate deletion of the data concerned or, alternatively, to demand that the processing of the data be restricted in accordance with the statutory provisions (cf. Art. 17, 18 DSGVO).

Right to data transfer

You have the right to demand from us that we hand over to you or pass on to third parties the data concerning you which you have made available to us in accordance with the statutory provisions (cf. Art. 20 GDPR). Direct transfer to another responsible party is subject to technical feasibility.

You can object to the future processing of the data concerning you at any time within the frame-work of the statutory provisions.

The revocation only applies to the future, and therefore does not affect the legality based on the prior consent of data processing already carried out.

Pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, you are generally entitled to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. The objection must be addressed to us.

The objection may also be raised pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR, in particular against processing for the purpose of direct marketing. After your objection, the data will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing.
