Provision of the website

Use of hosting service providers

Our website is hosted on servers of a hosting provider, which is located in the EU, based on an order processing according to Art. 28 GDPR. Within the scope of its services, the hosting service provider may have access to personal data of our users, in particular to technical data, which arise within the scope of the technical communication between you and our website (e.g. server log files). However, he may not use them for his own purposes. The use of a hosting service provider is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR in the provision of infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, e-mail dispatch and security services.

 

Server Logs

When you visit our website or use our services the device used for accessing the site automatically transmits log data (connection data) to our servers. The relevant information consists of:

  • The browser and its version number,
  • The operating system and its version number,
  • The referrer URL, which is the website you visited before switching to our website,
  • The date and time of access to our website,
  • The name of the subpages,
  • The corresponding IP address,
  • The amount of data transmitted.

The data collected are used exclusively for evaluating the data statistically to ensure operation and safety and to optimise processing of the offer. For security grounds, however, we reserve the right to inspect log files retroactively if we have sufficient grounds to suspect illegal usage. The data will not be stored for longer than necessary.This collection is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR.

 

Cookies

In several areas of the website we use so-called “cookies”, for example to identify the preferences of the users and thus to optimally design the website. This allows for easier navigation and a high degree of user-friendliness of the website. The use of cookies presents a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (Interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online services). In addition, Art. 6 (1) a EU DS-GVO provides the legal basis if we require your consent for the use of cookies (for marketing or analysis purposes, etc.).

Cookies are small files, which are stored on the visitor’s hard disk drive. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Most cookies used on the website are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies stay on your devices and make it possible for your browser to be recognized the next time you visit. These files can be used, for example, to display information on the page that is specifically tailored to your interests.

You can change the properties of your browser so that it informs you of the placement of cookies. In this way, the use of cookies is made transparent. If you fully oppose the use of cookies, you may not be able to use individual functions of this website.

 

Security of Your Data

We deploy technical and organisational security measures to adequately protect the data that you have made available to us from being unintentionally or intentionally manipulated, lost, destroyed or accessed by unauthorised persons. Therefore, we are using SSL encryption for the transmission of confidential content e.g. enquires which you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection can be recognised when the web address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock symbol is shown in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is activated, third parties cannot read the data that you transmit to us. Our security measures are kept up-to-date.

 

Contact us

If you contact us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail, telephone, social media), your personal data will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and any related follow-up questions pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b GDPR (within the framework of pre-contractual / contractual measures) or pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (general enquiries). This data is not transferred to third parties without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form remain with us until you request that they be deleted, you withdraw your consent to the storage of your data, or the purpose of the data storage is no longer given (i.e. after the successful processing of your request), provided there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

Based on the legitimate interest of the provider according Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, a situation can arise where contents, services and benefits of third parties are integrated which complement our service offerings. With the use of the following services, we want to ensure a customized design and the continuous optimization of our website.

We use the map service Google Maps on our website to display maps. Google Maps is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland.

Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield program, thereby guaranteeing compliance with the European data protection regulations (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

 

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA) on our website. reCAPTCHA is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 Ireland (“Google”). In order to ensure sufficient data security when forms are transmitted, we use the Google reCAPTCHA service in certain cases. This serves above all to differentiate whether the input is made by a natural person or whether it is misused by mechanical and automated processing. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as you visit the website. For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, length of stay of the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user).

However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will previously truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA is not merged with other data from Google. These data are subject to the differing data protection regulations of Google. The processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest to protect our web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.

Further information regarding Google reCAPTCHA as well as Google’s Data Privacy Policy can be found under the following links. https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html. Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield program, thereby guaranteeing compliance with the European data protection regulations (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

 

Google Web Fonts

In order to promote the consistent presentation of fonts, this site uses so-called web fonts which are made available by Google. When visiting a web page, your browser downloads the required web fonts into its cache so that texts and typefaces are rendered correctly.

To this end, your browser must connect with Google servers. Thereby, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed using your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is carried out for the sake of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offer. This is considered legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used instead.

Further information on Google Web Fonts are available under https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google’s Data Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. Google has been certified under the Privacy Shield program, thereby guaranteeing compliance with the European data protection regulations (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

 

Links to websites of third parties

We maintain publicly accessible online presences in social networks to communicate with the customers and interested parties active there and to present our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. To the best of our knowledge, the providers also use cookies, which store your usage behaviour (even across different end devices). This enables us to play out targeted advertising within our own platform as well as on third-party sites.

The processing of users’ personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing users with effective information and communicating with users in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to data processing or if the user voluntarily sends information to our online presences, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. If such information contains contract-relevant contents, Art. 6 (1) b GDPR serves as the legal basis.

For a detailed representation of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection (Opt-Out), we refer to the following linked information of the providers.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and give information. Should you nevertheless need help, you can contact us.

We also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties (e.g. public authorities).

Recipient of your data

Within our company, only those persons receive your personal data who need it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. In addition, we sometimes use different service providers to fulfill these obligations, so that it may be necessary to transfer your personal data to other recipients outside the company to the extent necessary to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. These third parties can be, for example, authorities, financial institutions, suppliers, etc.

To process your data technically, we sometimes use external service providers. It is possible that we may transfer and process your data outside the country in which you have your residence / company headquarters or in one of the countries in which we operate. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area. If we transfer personal data to service providers or companies outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the transfer will only take place if the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission as having an adequate level of data protection or if other appropriate data protection guarantees (e.g. binding internal company data protection regulations or EU standard contractual clauses) are in place. You can also request detailed information by using the contact information above.

Storage of your data

We store your personal data only as long as they are necessary for the above-mentioned purposes. After termination of the contractual relationship, your personal data will be stored for as long as we are legally obliged to do so. This regularly results from legal obligations to provide evidence and to retain data, which are regulated in the German Commercial Code and the German Fiscal Code, among others. The storage periods thereafter are up to ten years. In addition, personal data may be stored for the time during which claims can be made against us (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).
