Data Protection
Thank you for visiting our website. In the following, we would like to inform you about how we handle your data pursuant to Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Controller:
The entity mentioned in the legal notice is the controller of the data processing described below.
Usage data for statistical purposes
When visiting our website, so-called usage data will be stored as a log on our web server for statistical purposes, helping us improve the quality of our website. This dataset consists of
- The page from which the file was requested,
- the file name,
- the date and time of the retrieval,
- the transmitted data volume,
- the request status (file transmitted or file not found),
- the description of the web browser used as well as the operating system,
- the referral link indicating what site lead you to ours,
- The IP address of the requesting computer, which will be shortened in such a way that it cannot be attributed to a specific person.
Anonymous visitor measurement
We carry out anonymous visitor measurement on our websites. For this purpose, the protocol data of the web server and the shortened IP address are evaluated. It is not possible to draw any conclusions about your person.
Moreover, we will store the full IP address transmitted by your PC for a period of seven days; such storage is done strictly with the intended purpose of recognising, limiting and defending against attacks on our website. Upon expiration of said period, we will delete or anonymise your IP address. The legal basis is point (f) of sentence 1 of Article 6(1) GDPR.
Data security
To protect your data from unauthorised access to the greatest possible extent, we have taken technical and organisational measures. We have implemented an encryption process on our website. Data transmitted via the internet from your PC to our server and vice versa will be encrypted using TLS technology. You can typically see this by looking at the status line of your browser, where you will find a ‘closed’ lock icon while the address bar starts with “https://”.
Required cookies
Our website uses cookies, products and services for analysis and marketing purposes, which are provided by Visable GmbH (www.visable.com) in cooperation with them. To that end, pixel-code technology is used to collect, process and store data in order to create at least pseudonymised, but where possible and sensible, completely anonymous user profiles. Data collected, which may initially still include personal data, is transmitted to Visable or is collected directly by Visable and is used to create the aforementioned user profiles there. Visitors to this website are not personally identified and no other personal data is merged with the user profiles. If IP addresses are identified as personal, they are immediately deleted.
Exclude visitor recording (Note: Link sets a 1st-party cookie for an opt-out)
Cookies are small text files which are saved and stored on your device and can be retrieved. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser and permanent cookies, which will be retained even after the session has ended.
In some instances, cookies merely contain information relating to specific settings and cannot be used to identify persons. They can also be required to enable the site’s user guidance, security and implementation.
We use these cookies on the basis of point (f) of sentence 1 of Art. 6(1) GDPR.
You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This ensures that the use of cookies is transparent for you. Additionally, cookies may be deleted at any time in your browser settings, where you can also prevent the saving of new cookies. Please note that some of our webpages may not be displayed any longer and some functions may become technically unavailable.

Embedded videos
We embed videos on our websites. These are stored on our servers.
Map services
We have integrated a link to a map service on our web pages. The maps are not stored on our servers. We have only integrated a link to a map service so that accessing our website does not automatically lead to the content of the map service of the third-party provider being reloaded. This does not provide the third-party provider with any information.
Only after clicking on the link "Show location on OpenStreetMap" is the content of the third-party provider reloaded. This provides the third-party provider with the information that you have accessed our site as well as the usage data technically required in this context. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. By clicking on the link, a new tab opens and you give us your consent to reload content from the third-party provider.
The linking takes place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO or § 15 para. 3 p. 1 TMG, provided that you have previously given your consent by clicking on the link.
