Data protection


1. principles of data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It is possible to use our website without providing personal data. If personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data is all anonymised and will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. They are only analysed for statistical purposes. It will not be passed on to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

Your personal data is regularly processed only with your consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law. Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract. Special retention obligations also result from Section 257 (1) HGB and Section 147 (1) AO.

2. background to the processing of personal data / server log files

Beim Besuch unserer Webseiten erhebt und speichert unser System automatisch Informationen in sogenannten Server-Log Files, die Ihr Browser automatisch an uns übermittelt. Folgende Daten werden hierbei erhoben: Informationen über den Typ und die Version Ihres Internet-Browsers, Betriebssystem Ihres Computers oder Smartphones, Ihren Internet-Service-Providers, Ihre IP-Adresse, Datum und Uhrzeit des Zugriffs, Webseiten, von denen aus Sie zu uns gelangen und Webseiten, die Sie von unserer Seite aus besuchen.

When you visit our website, our system automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. The following data is collected: Information about the type and version of your internet browser, operating system of your computer or smartphone, your internet service provider, your IP address, date and time of access, websites from which you access our site and websites that you visit from our site.

We emphasise that this data cannot be assigned by us to specific persons. We also do not merge this data with other data sources. Your data is also not analysed, for example for marketing purposes. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, i.e. in the case of data collected to provide the website after the end of the respective session. If the data is not deleted, however, your IP address will be deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.

3. contact form and email contact

There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are Name, email address, your IP address, date and time of the contact enquiry. This data is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our computer systems and networks. Alternatively, you can contact us via the email address provided. The legal basis for the processing of the data that you transmit in the course of e-mail contact is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be used and stored for processing the conversation. Your data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be deleted when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. You also have the option to object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. A cancellation must be sent to us informally in writing or by e-mail (see above responsible person). As a precaution, we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet may be subject to security vulnerabilities when communicating by e-mail. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

In general, we use cookies to analyse interest in our websites and to improve the user-friendliness of our websites.

Cookies can belong to the following categories:

  • Session cookies While you are active on a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer's memory, in which a session identifier is stored, e.g. to prevent you from having to log in again each time you change pages. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or lose their validity as soon as your session has automatically expired.
  • Permanent or protocol cookies A permanent or protocol cookie stores a file on your computer for the period specified in the expiry date. These cookies allow websites to remember your information and settings on your next visit. This leads to faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to set your language preferences for our portal again, for example. Once the expiry date has passed, the cookie is automatically deleted when you visit the website that created it
  • Third-party cookies Third-party cookies originate from providers other than the operator of the website. They can be used, for example, to collect information for advertising, customised content and web statistics.

Google Maps

The website integrates map material from Google Maps of Google Inc. to show you our location. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently. The legal basis for the use of Google Maps is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Google Maps requires Google to process your IP address, as the Google Maps content cannot be sent to your browser without the IP address.
