Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called "Cookies." Cookies are small text files and do no harm to your end device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.

In some instances, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your end device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases, or generally exclude them, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately in this privacy policy and, if necessary, request consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your inquiry has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics allows the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. Here, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and users' origin. These data may be compiled by Google into a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the user to be recognized for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If a corresponding consent was requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with other services associated with website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

For more information on the handling of user data at Google Analytics, see Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order Processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Storage Duration

Data stored by Google at the user and event level that are linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android Advertising ID) will be anonymized or deleted after 14 months. For details, please refer to the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform representation of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. Google, therefore, becomes aware that this website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google WebFonts is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform representation of the typeface on its website. If corresponding consent was requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
