Privacy Statement
The protection of personal data is very important to us. At this point we inform you which personal data we collect for which purpose on our website (and, if applicable, the associated websites – e.g. our social media profiles or integrated services/offers of third parties – such as Google – etc.).

B) Collection, Processing and Use of Personal Data
1.) Personal data is such information which can be used to find out personal or factual circumstances (such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address). We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as this is permissible or ordered according to the DSGVO, the German Data Protection Law (German: Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG) or other European or German legal provisions or when the concerned party has given consent hereto. The general use of our website is possible without providing your personal data – as far personal data will be collected, this is on a voluntary basis only.
2.) Your visit to our website is automatically logged. The IP address currently used by your PC, date and time, the browser type and operating system of your PC and the pages you are viewing are recorded. A reference to individuals is not possible. No other evaluation of the data, with the exception for statistical purposes in anonymous form, will occur.
The system must temporarily store the IP address in order to transmit the website to the visitor’s computer. For this purpose, it is also necessary to keep the IP address stored for the duration of the session. The resulting storage of data in log files is done to ensure the functionality of our website and to adapt it to the requirements of our visitors. We have listed under B) 5. how we use and process the data in detail (see below).
3.) Provided that a visitor of our website registers for personalized services (e.g. ordering a newsletter, requests for information etc.), we ask for certain contact details or other personal data. The user is free to decide whether or not to provide this data.
4.) Legal basis for the processing of personal data, provided that prior consent of the concerned person has been obtained, results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO; insofar as the processing is based on the fulfilment of a legal obligation, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO.
In special cases in which the vital interests of the concerned party (or another natural person) require the processing of personal data, the legal basis for this results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO. If processing is necessary for the protection of the legal interests of our company or third parties and the interests of the concerned party predominate, taking into account his fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms, the legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
5.) In the context of using this website, your personal data will be processed by us primarily for the following purposes:
– to provide information, respond to contact requests etc. via the contact form (by E-Mail)
C) Deletion of Data and Storage Period
The personal data collected by us will be deleted as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply (deviating from this only if continuous storage is stipulated in a statutory provision, possibly for data processing). Deletion or blocking of data shall take place at the latest when the legally prescribed storage period expires, provided that there is no necessity for further storage of the data in order to conclude a contract or to fulfil a contractual relationship.
D) Rights of the Concerned Persons
As the concerned person through the data processing, you are particularly entitled to the rights stated below, which arise in each case from the DSGVO.
D1) Right to Confirmation and Right to be Informed

D2) Right to Rectification and Right to Erasure
In accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO, you have the right to demand the rectification of incorrect data or the completion of your personal data stored at our company without delay. Furthermore, according to Art. 17 DSGVO, you are entitled to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us. This applies, unless there are other legal grounds on our part that prevent such action (this may for example be the right to freedom of expression, the right to inform third parties when fulfilling legal obligations; reasons of the public interest or the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims on our behalf or on the part of third parties).
D3) Right to Restrict Processing and Right to Object
According to Art. 18 DSGVO, you are entitled to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you and their processing is unlawful, but you have rejected their deletion and we no longer need the data for other legal reasons.
Under Art. 21 DSGVO, you are entitled to object if there are reasons arising from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct advertising.
D4) Rights related to automated individual decision-making, including profiling
According to Art. 22 DSGVO, you are entitled to be informed on the presence of automated decision making including profiling and on meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and the intended implications.

Moreover, in accordance with Art. 77 DSGVO, you are generally entitled to file a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the DSGVO or if we do not comply with other data protection regulations in accordance with our legal obligations.

F) Information about other integrated or (partly via button) linked services, such as various Google services and various social plug-ins
Third-party content such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps or graphics from other websites are integrated into this website. This requires that the providers of the content (hereinafter referred to as “third party providers”) perceive the IP address of visitors, since without such IP address the content cannot be sent to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary to visualize the content.
We have no influence on the storage of your IP address and other information (e.g. for statistical purposes) by third-party providers. Please refer to the relevant data protection regulations of the respective third-party providers as specified, for more information.
Third-party provider may be replaced over time, as well as third party provider may be removed or added. Only the currently published version of the data protection statement applies.

Through this, the information about which of our Internet pages you have visited is transmitted to the server. In addition, the IP address of the browser of the visitor’s device is stored by Google.

We would like to point out that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook.

This will transfer the information that you have visited the website, including your IP address, to Twitter and (if you have a Twitter account) establish a link between your Twitter account and our website. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content, scope and use of data that Twitter collects and that it is to be assumed that data is transmitted and stored on servers outside the EU (in particular in the USA).
