When you access the website access data is automatically sent from your browser to the server of our website without your intervention. This is necessary to ensure a smooth connection of the website as well as a comfortable use of the website and to ensure and optimize the system’s security and stability. This information is stored for the duration of the session in a cookie on your device and temporarily in a so-called log file in our systems, whereby the IP address on our server is alienated so that an assignment of the website visitor is no longer possible. A further processing of this access data does not take place.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest arises from the aforementioned purposes.

If access data (anonymized) is stored on our server, the data is usually deleted after four (4) weeks, or at the latest, after six (6) weeks.

3.2 General Contact Requests via the Website

We use the following categories of cookies:

Necessary cookies enable the use of a website. They enable basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. Without these cookies the website will not work properly.

3.4.4 Purposes of Data Processing with Cookies

The purpose of data processing by means of necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our Internet pages cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized after a page change.

The user data collected by necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

3.4.4.2 Google Analytics

Our web pages use the web analysis service Google Analytics. Provider of the service is

Google Ireland Ltd.
Gordon House, Barrow Street
Dublin 4, Ireland
Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001

In the following: “Google”.

Google Analytics uses cookies (see definition in section 3.3.1) to help the website analyze how users use the site if you have initially consented to the use of statistic cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within the Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and truncated by Google on servers in the United States. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to website operators relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

Our websites use Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are shortened for further processing and that it is not possible to identify you personally. If the data collected about you is related to a person, this is therefore excluded immediately and the personal data is deleted immediately.

We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our websites. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, see https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Notes on Google Analytics: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html
Privacy policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Lawful basis for the processing of personal data in the context of the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR given by you accepting the cookie settings when accessing our website. You have the  right to withdraw your consent at any time. Please contact us using the contact details listed in section 1 of this Data Privacy Statement.

4. Storage period

Insofar as no explicit storage period is specified in this Data Privacy Statement, personal data will be stored for as long as is necessary for the specified purposes or the fulfilment of our legal obligations.

In all other respects, the storage period shall be governed by the legal retention periods, for example according to commercial and tax law. At the latest, after expiry of these periods, the data stored and retained by us will be deleted, unless further storage is necessary in exceptional cases.

5. TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as data within contact requests, our websites use TLS encryption. The establishment of transport encryption is a recognized standard in the network, above all to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing personal data. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

6. Right to Object

You may object to the processing of your data on grounds relating to your particular situation, insofar as we process them for our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the event of objection, we shall refrain from any further processing of your data unless it is necessary for overriding, compelling or legitimate reasons or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If you wish to exercise your right of objection, please contact us or our Data Protection officer. The contact details can be found under section 1 of this Data Privacy Statement.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you may also demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us or if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.

This right to data transfer exists only if the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is carried out by automated means. The restrictions of Art. 20 para. 3 and 4 GDPR must be taken into account.

If we process data on the basis of a consent given by you, you are also entitled to withdraw your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. This also applies to declarations of consent issued to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before 25 May 2018. Your withdrawal means that we will not continue the data processing, which until then was based on this consent, for the future.

Please contact our Data Protection Officer regarding your data protection rights. The contact details can be found under section 1 of this Data Privacy Statement.

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data by us violates the provisions of data protection law, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, workplace or place of presumed infringement, pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR.
