Data privacy

General Introduction:

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and want you to be safe when visiting our website. Our data protection practice follows in particular the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-new) and the law regulating data protection and the protection of privacy in telecommunications and telemedia (TTDSG). At this point we would like to inform you about the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your personal data. We would like to point out in advance that this data protection declaration only refers to our websites and does not apply to third-party websites to which we refer in the form of links.

Object of protection:

The subject of protection is personal data. This is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). This primarily includes information that allows conclusions to be drawn about your identity (e.g. information such as name, postal address, email address and telephone number).

Technical requirements:

So that you can establish a connection to our website, your browser transmits certain data to our website's web server. This is a technical necessity so that the information you have accessed can be provided by the website. To make this possible, your IP address, date and time of your request and the type of operating system, among other things, are stored and used for a maximum of 7 days. We reserve the right to store this data for a limited period of time to protect our legitimate interests, in order to initiate the derivation of personal data in the event of unauthorized access or an attempt to intentionally harm us in this way (Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR ). The data will only be stored or forwarded by us for these and no other purposes without us informing you beforehand and asking for your permission.

Cookies:

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device via your browser, for example to recognize whether you visit websites repeatedly from the same device or browser. In general, we use cookies to analyze interest in our website and to improve the user-friendliness of our website. In principle, you can also access our website without cookies.

Cookies can usually be disabled or removed using tools available in most commercial browsers. The settings must be set separately and individually for each browser you use. The different browsers offer different functions and options.

General types of cookies:

In order to explain the most common types of cookies in more detail, we have explained them below for your understanding:

Session cookies (session cookies):

Session cookies can be used to recognize users and the changes they make within a website. They allow the website to track your movements across individual pages, so that information that has already been entered/saved does not need to be entered/saved again. An example of this are shopping carts in web shops. The session cookie saves the selected products in the shopping cart so that it contains the correct items when paying at the checkout. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or lose their validity as soon as the session has automatically expired.

Persistent or protocol cookies:

A persistent or protocol cookie stores users' information and settings on the user's computer for the period specified in the expiration date. This leads to faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to re-adjust language settings or re-enter login data, for example. The cookie is automatically deleted after the end of the storage period.

Third-party cookies:

Third-party cookies generally have no influence on the use of the site because they do not come from the website operator. For example, they serve the purpose of collecting information for advertising, custom content and web statistics and passing these on to the respective third party provider.

Tracking Cookies:

Tracking cookies are special text files that make it possible to collect data about the behavior of the Internet user. The aim of this is to obtain information about the user's main interests, for example in order to be able to launch tailor-made advertising offers. Tracking cookies are therefore not only set when you register, but also automatically when you visit the website.

The above-mentioned exemplary representation of the most common forms of cookies is intended to give you a global overview of this form of data collection. These statements do not claim to be complete. As a result of technical IT developments, it can be assumed that additional types of cookies will develop over time. Please check our privacy policy at regular intervals for current changes before using our website.
