I. Basic Information on Data Processing

Thank you for your interest in our company. The protection of your personal data is of paramount concern for us. We therefore want to inform you comprehensively about the information we collect on our websites, the purpose we use it for, who we might make it available to and what rights you have (Art. 12 and 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR).

Our personal privacy measures are guided by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, VO EU 2016/679), effective 2018-05-25, and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). With the simple citation of a regulation enclosed in parentheses, we want to express which standard is used to justify the data processing, and if personal data are processed during this process.

II. Purpose, Legal Basis and Data Categories

Generally, it is not required that you provide personally identifiable information to visit our website. Technically, however, the IP address transmitted from your system is necessary to transfer the data from our website to you. Beyond the freely accessible area of our website – to process your registration, for example – we need your personal data, as appropriate, in order to be able to personally respond to you.

We need a legal basis to process your data. Art. 6 GDPR presents a non-exclusive list of legal bases. Per Art. 6 GDPR, processing is permitted when:

You have consented to processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR).
The processing is required to fulfill a contract in which the contractual party is the affected person. This also applies to contractual measures undertaken at the request of the affected person (Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR).
The data processing is required to fulfill a legal obligation we are subject to (Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR):
The processing is required to protect the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person. This may include the exceptional case that an affected person is severely injured, which mandates that their personal data must be sent to medical personnel (Art. 6 (1)(d) GDPR).
The processing is required to maintain the legitimate interests of the responsible parties or any third parties, to the extent that the vital interests, legal rights and fundamental freedoms of the person for which protection of personal data is required are not infringed (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR). This legal basis also entitles us to enact processing procedures not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal bases, if this processing is required to maintain the legitimate interests of the our company or any third parties and to the extent that the vital interests, legal rights and fundamental freedoms of the affected person are not infringed. We are also particularly entitled to these processing procedures since they have been specifically granted by European legislation. This legislation supports the contention, an entitled interest may be assumed when the affected person is a customer of the responsible party (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

III. Collection, Storage of Usage Data during a Visit to Our Website without Registration, Use of Cookies

When you visit our website, we receive your complete IP address from your EDP. Only with this IP address are we able to transmit the data of our website to you so that the website displays for you (Art. 6 (1)(b) and (f) GDPR). Beyond the processing for transmission of the called up data, the full IP address is stored for only two days in order to be in a position to initiate defensive measures against attacks on our IT, such as a block of IP addresses as well as possible criminal prosecution (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).

We store the date and time of the page view and the page from which you called up our page. We do not save other personal data, unless you log in.

If the programming of our website prompts your browser to load data from servers operated by third parties, we are not, as such, involved in these data transmissions. Our third-party providers have requested we inform you of the following:
