Privacy Policy

Personal data (usually referred to just as “data” below) will only be
processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of
providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its
contents, and the services offered there.

Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data
Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”),
“processing” refers to any operation or set of operations such as
collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation,
alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission,
dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination,
restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data,
whether by automated means or not.

The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular
about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the
processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction
with others. We also inform you below about the third-party components
we use to optimize our website and improve the user experience which may
result in said third parties also processing data they collect and
control.

Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about us as controllers of your data
II. The rights of users and data subjects
III. Information about the data processing

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being
processed, information about the data being processed, further
information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the
data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
to
the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17
DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as
stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art.
18 GDPR;
to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or
provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other
providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
to file
complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data
concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data
protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to
whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or
restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18
GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is
impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users
have a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have
the right to object to the controller’s future processing of their data
pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to
data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

III. Information about the data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked
as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the
deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage
obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.

Server data

For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet
browser to us or to our server provider will be collected, especially to
ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the
type and version of your browser, operating system, the website from
which you came (referrer URL), the webpages on our site visited, the
date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address from which you
visited our site.

The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any other of your data.

The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our
legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality,
and security of our website.

The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless
continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case,
all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the
investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

Cookies

a) Session cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other
storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These
cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your
browser, location data, or IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and
secure, allowing us, for example, to display our website in different
languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR,
insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process
contractual relationships.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract,
our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our
website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.

b) Third-party cookies

If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with
whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analyzing, or
improving the features of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular
for the legal basis and purpose of such third-party collection and
processing of data collected through cookies.

c) Disabling cookies

You can refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings on your
browser. Likewise, you can use the browser to delete cookies that have
already been stored. However, the steps and measures required vary,
depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use
the help function or consult the documentation for your browser or
contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent so-called
flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to change the
setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this
also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any
questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for
your Flash player or contact its maker for support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site may be fully usable.
