Privacy policy according to GDPR

1.  Basics

This privacy policy informs you about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator [insert your contact details].

The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. Because new technologies and the ongoing development of this website may lead to changes in this privacy policy, we recommend that you review it periodically.

The term "personal data" refers to all data that can be related to you personally. This includes, for example, your name, address, email addresses, and user behavior. Regarding other terms, in particular "processing" and "consent," we refer to the legal definitions under data protection law.

Further definitions of terms can be found in Article 4 of the GDPR.

4.  General information on data processing

Scope of processing personal data

We generally process our users' personal data only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data regularly only occurs with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Where we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. Where processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that processing personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

5.  Access data

We, the website operator/provider, collect data about website access based on our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and store this data as "server log files" on the website's server. The following data is logged:

• Visited website
• Time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/referrer from which you accessed this page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used

Server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. This data is stored for security reasons, for example, to investigate cases of misuse. If data needs to be retained as evidence, it will be excluded from deletion until the incident is fully resolved.

6.  Audience measurement & cookies

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized audience measurement, which are transferred to the user's browser either from our server or a third-party server. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies improves the user-friendliness and security of this website.

If you do not want cookies for audience measurement to be stored on your device, you can object to the use of these files here:

• Cookie opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/
• Cookie opt-out page of the US website: http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/
• Cookie opt-out page of the European website: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/

Most browsers offer the option to disable cookies. Please note: Disabling cookies may prevent you from accessing all features of this website without limitations.

Collection and processing of personal data

The website operator collects, uses and shares your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.

Personal data includes 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 visit this website without providing any personal information. However, to improve our online services, 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 impossible to identify you personally.

1. Handling of contact data

When you contact us as the website operator using the provided contact options, your information will be stored so that we can process and respond to your inquiry. This data will not be shared with third parties without your consent.

1. Handling comments and posts

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves our security as website operator: Should your comment violate applicable law, we could be held liable, which is why we have a legitimate interest in knowing the identity of the comment or post author.

1. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), based on our legitimate interests in optimizing and analyzing our online services in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Google Analytics uses cookies – text files that are stored on your device. The information generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States.

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

This website uses IP anonymization. Within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area, and in other contracting states of the agreement, the IP address of users is shortened. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address initially transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This shortening removes the personal reference from your IP address. The user's IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

Under the terms of the data processing agreement we, as website operators, have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to create an evaluation of website usage and website activity and provides services related to internet usage.

The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online services by individual users, e.g. to create reports on website activity in order to improve our online services.

You have the option to prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, if your browser does not allow cookies, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to access all the functions of this website without restrictions.

Furthermore, you can prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. by installing a browser plugin. The following link will take you to the relevant plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you on this website by clicking this link (IMPORTANT: Insert opt-out link). Clicking the link above will download an "opt-out cookie." Your browser must therefore be configured to allow cookies. If you regularly delete your cookies, you will need to click the link again each time you visit this website.

1. Use of social media plugins from Facebook

Based on our legitimate interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our online services (within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), this website uses the Facebook social plugin, which is operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). The plugins are recognizable by the Facebook logo or the terms "Like," "Share," or "Recommend" in Facebook's colors (blue and white). Information about all Facebook plugins can be found via the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

Facebook Inc. complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and Facebook's servers. The website operator has no control over the nature and scope of the data that the plugin transmits to Facebook Inc.'s servers. You can find more information here: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084

The plugin informs Facebook Inc. that you, as a user, have visited this website. It is possible that your IP address will be stored. If you are logged into your Facebook account while visiting this website, the aforementioned information will be linked to it.

If you use the plugin's features – for example, by sharing or "liking" a post – the corresponding information will also be transmitted to Facebook Inc.

If you wish to prevent Facebook, Inc. from linking this data to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting this website and delete any stored cookies. You can adjust further data processing settings for advertising purposes or object to the use of your data for advertising purposes via your Facebook profile. You can access these settings here:

Legal basis for data processing

Purpose of data processing

The collection of the user's email address is used for the purpose of sending the newsletter.

Unless your request conflicts with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g., data retention laws), you have the right to have your data deleted. Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer needed for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention periods. If deletion is not possible because the data is required for legitimate legal purposes, data processing will be restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for any other purpose.

13. Right to object

Users of this website can exercise their right to object and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.
