The data controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

2) Data collection when visiting our website

2.1 When you use our website for purely informational purposes, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the website server (so-called "server log files"). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

- Our visited website

- Date and 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 (possibly in anonymized form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be disclosed or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the data controller). You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" prefix and the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

IONOS

We use a Content Delivery Network from the following provider: 1&1 IONOS Internet SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

This service allows us to deliver large media files such as graphics, page content, or scripts more quickly via a network of regionally distributed servers. The processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Making contact

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected when using a contact form is indicated on the form itself. This data is stored and used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry, contacting you, and for the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your inquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations exist.

5) Web analytics services

1&1 IONOS WebAnalytics

This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: 1&1 IONOS Internet SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

Using cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), this service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used, such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analysis of user behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized user profiles. Among other things, this enables the analysis of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text input, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization fundamentally precludes any direct identification of individuals. This data is not combined with clear personal data collected through other means.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storage of information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

6) Page functionalities

Google Web Fonts

This website uses web fonts from the following provider for consistent font display: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you access a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into its browser cache to display text and fonts correctly and establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. In doing so, certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data during the connection process with the font provider will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "cookie consent tool" provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

7) Tools and other items

Cookie consent tool

This website uses a "cookie consent tool" to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The cookie consent tool is displayed to users upon visiting the site as an interactive interface, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. By using this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by ticking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device if consent has been given.

This tool uses technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. No personal user data is processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. As data controllers, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of cookies that are not technically necessary dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the data in question. However, further processing remains possible if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

If you exercise your right to object, we will cease processing the data in question for direct marketing purposes.

9) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

If statutory retention periods exist for data processed in the context of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or for initiating a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in its continued storage.

When processing personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
