In order for you to feel safe when visiting our websites, we strictly observe the legal provisions when processing your personal data and would like to inform you here about our data collection and data use.

We are committed to complying with the GDPR and the nationally applicable data protection laws. For us, the topic of data protection is a company-wide topic with high priority and we only work with partners who also have a corresponding level of data protection in their processing framework. We process your data only if you have given us your express consent to do so, which relates to a service basis for the purpose of a contract or pre-contractual measures or if the relevant laws allow or oblige data processing. The following data protection information covers both the currently applicable national legal framework and the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which will apply throughout Europe from 25 May 2018. References to the legal bases of the GDPR will apply from 25 May 2018. Under no circumstances will we sell your data or pass it on to unauthorized third parties. We would be happy to inform you in detail below about the handling of your data in our divisions.

III. GENERAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING

 

1. SCOPE OF PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

In principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

 

2. LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

For the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit.c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

 

3. DATA DELETION AND STORAGE PERIOD

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

 

IV. PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND CREATION OF LOG FILES

 

1. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The data is stored in the log files of our system. This does not affect the IP addresses of the user or other data that enable the assignment of the data to a user. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

 

2. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

3. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

 

4. DURATION OF STORAGE

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

 

5. POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND REMOVAL

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

 

V. USE OF COOKIES

 

1. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

 

2. HOW CAN YOU PREVENT THE STORAGE OF COOKIES?

Depending on the browser used, you can set that the storage of cookies is only accepted if you agree to this. If you only want to accept the cookies we use, but not the cookies of our service providers and partners, you can select the setting in your browser “Block third-party cookies“. As a rule, the menu bar of your web browser shows you how to reject new cookies and turn off already received cookies via the help function. Detailed information on how to make the settings in the browser you are using can be found under the following link. For shared computers that are set to accept cookies and Flash cookies, we recommend that you always log out completely after completion.

 

3. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

 

4. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

 

5. DURATION OF STORAGE, POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND REMOVAL

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, as a user, you also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

 

VI. CONTACT FORM AND E-MAIL CONTACT

 

1. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

A contact form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user accepts this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are:

At the time of sending the message, the following data is also stored:

 

  • Date and time of registration
  • Surname, first name
  • Email
  • Application

 

For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained as part of the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

In this context, it does not pursue the transfer of data to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.

 

2. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR.

 

3. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. If contacted by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

 

4. DURATION OF STORAGE

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

 

5. POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND REMOVAL

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail , he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

 

VII. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

In order to make our website as pleasant and comfortable as possible for you as a user, we occasionally use the services of external service providers. Below you have the opportunity to inform yourself about the data protection provisions about the application and use of the services and functions used in order to be able to exercise your rights with the service providers.

 

1. GOOGLE MAPS

Our websites use Google Maps to display maps and to create directions. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. By using this website, you agree to the collection, processing and use of the automatically collected data and the data entered by you by Google, one of its representatives, or third-party providers. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found under Terms of use for Google Maps. Detailed details can be found in google.de’s Privacy Center: Transparency and Choices and Privacy Policy.

 

2. SOCIAL PLUGINS

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from various social networks. With the help of these plugins, you can, for example, share content or recommend products. The plugins are deactivated by default on our websites and therefore do not send any data. By clicking on the “Activate social media” button, you can activate the plugins. Of course, the plugins can be deactivated with one click.

If these plugins are activated, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as you access a website of our website. The content of the plugin is transmitted by the social network directly to your browser and integrated by it into the website.

By integrating the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Facebook “Like” button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the social network and stored there.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the respective networks or websites. The links can be found below.

Even if you are not logged in to the social networks, websites with active social plugins can send data to the networks. An active plugin sets a cookie with an identifier each time the website is accessed. Since your browser sends this cookie with every connection to a network server without being asked, the network could in principle create a profile of which websites the user belonging to the identifier has accessed. And it would then also be quite possible to assign this identifier to a person later – for example when logging in to the social network later.

We use plugins of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The link to Facebook’s privacy policy can be found here: Facebook’s privacy policy.

If you do not want social networks to collect data about you via active plugins, you can either simply deactivate the social plugins with a click on our websites or select the “Block third-party cookies” function in your browser settings. In this case, the browser does not send cookies to the server for embedded content from other providers. With this setting, however, other cross-page functions in addition to the plugins may no longer work.

 

3. YOUTUBE

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account  , you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in  YouTube’s privacy policy.
