2.General information about data processing
- Scope of the processing of personal data
We collect and use the personal data of our users only insofar as it is necessary to provide an operational website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data are subject to the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases that prior consent cannot be obtained for genuine reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions. - Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the party concerned for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
6 (1) (a) of the GDPR serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract to which the party concerned is a contracting party. This will also apply to process operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that overriding interests of the concerned party or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) of the 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 override the above interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. - Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if the EU or domestic legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if the storage period prescribed by the above standards expires unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
3.Provision of the website and creation of log files
- 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 user. The following data is collected:(1) Information about the browser and the version used
(2) The IP address of the user
(3) Date and time of access. The data is also stored in our system log files. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user. - Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. - Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user shall remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files in order to ensure the smooth functioning of the website. The data is also used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. No assessment of the data for marketing purposes takes place in this context. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in the data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. - Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose in respect of which they were collected. In the case of data collection to ensure the website provision, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or removed so that data allocation to the visiting client is no longer possible. - Objection and disposal options
Data collection for the website provision and data storage in log files is necessary for operating the website. Consequently, the user may not object.

- Scope of the processing of personal data
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereafter referred to as Google). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States of America. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these web pages, Google will shorten your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area in advance. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of this website operator, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to website operators in connection with website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the website features to their fullest extent. In addition, you may reject the data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) being collected and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en(Browser-Add-on zur Deaktivierung von Google Analytics).

By anonymising the IP address, users’ interest in protecting their personal data is sufficiently considered. - Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our storage purposes. In our case, this happens after 3 years. - Objection and disposal options
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our website by that computer. Accordingly, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies.

If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, Google may recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page.

The data will be strictly deleted as soon as the purpose of their collection has been fulfilled. In the case of conversion cookies, they become invalid after 30 days. - Objection and disposal options

Please note that you cannot delete the opt-out cookies if you wish to continue preventing the measurement of clicks from being recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

(2) is authorised by EU or Member State law to which the data controller is subject, and contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
