Protection of stored data

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data you provide to us from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons.

It cannot be ruled out that unencrypted data transmitted by you may be viewed by third parties during transmission. We would like to point out that data transmission via the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure. Sensitive data should therefore either not be transmitted via the Internet at all or only via a secure connection (SSL).

Protection of minors

Consent to the processing of personal data can only be given by a person of legal age. For information society services, the consent of a child is permitted from the age of sixteen in accordance with Art. 8 GDPR.

PROTECTION OF THE STORED DATA

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect the personal data that you have made available to us from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons.

We cannot guarantee a conclusively secure transmission with regard to data transmission via the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail). Sensitive data should therefore either not be transmitted at all or only via a secure connection (SSL).

PROTECTION OF MINORS

Only a person of legal age can consent to the processing of personal data. The consent of a person who is not of legal age, but is at least sixteen, is permissible for information society services pursuant to Art. 8 GDPR.

Cookies
Technically necessary cookies (session cookies)

We use technical cookies on our website to make the website more user-friendly. In order to use the full functionality of our website, it is therefore necessary for technical reasons to allow session cookies.

The purpose of using such cookies is to enable you to use the website in a simplified and more user-friendly manner. It is therefore necessary for the browser to be able to identify you even after a page change.

The data is not used to create a user profile for you. The legal basis for the use of technical cookies is § 25 (2) TDDDG. It is not possible to use the website without session cookies.

Cookies for evaluation (tracking cookies)

In addition to the use of technical cookies, tracking cookies are used on this website. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. However, they only collect and store data in pseudonymous form. They are not used to identify you personally and are not merged with data about the bearer of the pseudonym. We use this information to determine the attractiveness of our website and to continuously improve its content.
The legal basis for the use of tracking cookies is the consent you have given in accordance with § 25 (1) TDDDG.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.
You can adjust the cookie settings at any time.

Individual information about the cookies and analysis services used as well as the purpose and legal basis of data processing are also described in detail in the privacy policy.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as “Google”), which uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. Cookies usually transmit the information generated about your use of this website to a Google server in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA). However, since this website uses IP anonymization, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Data will only be collected as part of this service after you have given your express consent. The legal basis for this is § 25 (1) TDDDG. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.
The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the use of our website. Furthermore, the use of Google Analytics enables us to create reports on website activities and thus improve our Internet presence. In addition to us, Google is to be named as the recipient of the data.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics at any time, even after you have given your consent.

The data transfer by Google to the USA is based on the EU standard contractual clauses, details of which can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/. You can find further information at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Google Maps

Our website uses Google Maps to visually display geographical information (maps). Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: “Google”). This enables us to make it easier for you to find us or to point out specific locations.

Google must therefore also be named as the recipient of the data. When using Google Maps, information about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information collected and transmitted includes your IP address and your location, if the settings of your terminal device allow localization. When Google Maps is activated, Google Fonts fonts are loaded into your browser cache in order to display the relevant texts and fonts as intended.

This data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TDDDG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

This processing is carried out in cooperation with Google on the basis of a joint controllership agreement pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. This can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

The transfer of data to the USA is associated with risks under data protection law. If you do not wish your data to be transferred, you can deactivate your consent in the cookie settings. However, we would like to point out that you will not be able to use the map display in this case.

You can find more information about the collection and processing of your data by Google and your rights as a data subject in this regard in Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/?hl=de and in the additional terms of use for Google Maps and Google Earth at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is collected which is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account with the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and the resulting interests. This makes it possible to display customized advertising, both within and outside the social network. As a result, cookies may be stored on your computer when you use social networks. However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected.

Through the social media sites, we would like to provide you with information in the simplest and fastest way possible or give you the opportunity to share such information.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

If you revoke your consent, ask us to delete your data or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless this is contrary to mandatory legal provisions. Cookies stored by you will remain on your end device until you delete them.

The data processed as a result of your visit to our presence on social media websites is classified as data processing initiated by us and is therefore subject to joint responsibility with the operator of the social media website in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. Joint controllership is limited to those processing operations for which a joint decision is made on the purpose and means of processing. If you wish to assert your rights as a data subject, you can do so both against us and against the operator of the social media website.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union and that you therefore run the risk of not being able to enforce your rights properly.
