2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website
When you visit our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data that your browser sends to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us to display the website:
– Our visited website
– Date and time of access
– Amount of data sent in bytes
– Source/referral from which you came to the page
– Used browser
– Operating system used
– IP address used (if applicable, in anonymized form)
The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. There is no further processing or use of the data. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
3) Cookies
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 device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, so-called “session cookies”. Other cookies remain on your device and enable us to recognize your browser during your next visit, so-called “persistent cookies”. You can find the duration of storage in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.
If cookies used by us also process personal data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the execution of the contract, pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of given consent, or pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 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 configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
4) Contact
In the context of contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is used and stored exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.
The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
5) Page Functionalities
Youtube
This website uses plugins to display and play videos from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC., USA
When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers in order to load the plugin. Certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.
If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, to create playback statistics, and to prevent abusive behavior.
If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to our site, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish this assignment to your account, you must log out before activating the playback button.
All the aforementioned processing, particularly the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
For data transmission to the USA, the provider relies on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.
6) Tools and Miscellaneous
6.1 Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a “Cookie Consent Tool” to obtain effective user consent for consent-required cookies and cookie-based applications. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users as an interactive user interface when the page is called up, allowing consent to be given for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking boxes. By using the tool, all consent-required cookies/services are only loaded if the respective user has given consent by checking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s respective device in the event of consent being given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.
If, in individual cases, the storage, assignment, or logging of cookie settings does result in the processing of personal data (such as the IP address), this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user’s consent.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the settings options of the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
6.2 Google Maps
This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographical information. The use of this service displays our location and facilitates any directions.
When you call up the subpages into which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to servers of Google and stored there, which may also involve transmission to Google LLC. servers 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 into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish this assignment to your profile on 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 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, there is also the option to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps, and thus the map display on this website, cannot be used in this case.
If legally required, we have obtained your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the processing of your data as described above. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the above-described option to object.
7) Rights of the Data Subject
7.1 The applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights (rights to information and intervention) vis-à-vis the data controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, with reference to the specified legal basis for the respective exercise conditions:

7.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT
IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA IN THE CONTEXT OF A BALANCE OF INTERESTS ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING IS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES.
8) Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of the storage of personal data is based on the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and, if applicable, additionally on the respective statutory retention period (e.g., commercial and tax retention periods).
If personal data are processed on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the affected data will be stored until you revoke your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data processed in the context of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the expiry of the retention periods, provided that they are no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation and/or there is no longer any legitimate interest on our part in continuing storage.
If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration about specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted otherwise when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
