Collection and processing of personal data
The website operator collects, uses and discloses your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.
Personal data is all information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, to improve our online service, we store your access data to this website (without any personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. Because the data is anonymized, it is not possible to identify you personally.
Note: The contact information required for communication and submitted via the contact form will be temporarily stored. However, it will never be passed on to third parties.
Examples:
· Which? - We process personal data such as first name, last name, email address, place of residence, postal code, and content information from the contact form, IP address.
· How? - We process personal data only with the express permission of the users concerned and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.
Why? - The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services.
Handling contact data
If you contact us as the website operator using the contact options provided, your information will be saved so that it can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Dealing with comments and posts
If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be saved. This is done based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and serves the security of us as website operators: If your comment violates applicable law, we may be held liable, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the comment or post author.
Google Analytics
Based on our legitimate interests in optimizing and analyzing our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this website uses the "Google Analytics" service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). This service (Google Analytics) uses "cookies," text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
IP anonymization is activated on this website. The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area, as well as in other contracting states to the agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the IP address initially transmitted unabridged to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This shortening eliminates the personal reference to your IP address. The user's IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
As part of the data processing agreement that we, as website operators, have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and website activity and to provide services related to internet usage.
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online offering by individual users, for example, to compile reports on website activity in order to improve our online offering.
