With this privacy policy we inform you about the scope of the processing of your personal data (hereinafter referred to as "data").

B. Data processing

We process data as part of operating our website. The processing of data also includes disclosure by transmission.

For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the EU-US Privacy Shield. In this, the Commission has certified that the guarantees for the transfer of data to the USA on the basis of the EU-US Privacy Shield correspond to the data protection standards in the EU. To the extent that we transfer data to the USA, we have marked the participation of our service providers in the EU-US Privacy Shield.

The data concerned, processing purposes, legal bases, recipients and transfers to third countries are listed in the following list:

a) Log file

We log your visit to our websites. The following data is processed: name of the website accessed, date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the browser type and version, the operating system you use, the referrer URL (the previously visited website), your IP address and the requesting provider. This is necessary to ensure the security of the website. We process the data accordingly on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. The log file is deleted after seven days, unless it is required to clarify or prove specific violations of law that became known within the retention period.

b) Hosting

As part of the hosting, all data to be processed in connection with the operation of this website is stored. This is necessary to enable the operation of the website. We process the data accordingly on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. To provide our online presence, we use services from web hosting providers to whom we transmit the above-mentioned data.

c) Contact

If you contact us, your data (name, contact details, if provided by you) and your message will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing and handling your request. We process this data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 b) GDPR or Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR to process your request.

d) Website analysis and marketing

We use so-called cookies to enable the use of certain functions. These are short data packets that are stored on your device and exchanged with other providers. Some of the cookies we use are deleted immediately after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and enable your browser to be recognized the next time you visit (persistent cookies).

You can delete all cookies stored on your device and set the common browsers to prevent cookies from being saved. In this case, you may have to re-enter some settings each time you visit this website and accept that some functions may be impaired.

We use cookies in connection with the following functionalities:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 USA. Google uses certain cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use the stored information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity. We process the data obtained in this way because of our overriding interest in the optimal marketing of our online offering in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with other Google data.

We would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are shortened before being transmitted to a server in the USA. A direct personal reference in connection with the stored data is therefore generally excluded. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a server in the USA and shortened there.

You can object to the collection of data at any time with effect for the future by using the Google Analytics browser deactivation add-on at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .

Please also note the information on the use of data by Google in the Google Partner Network at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Further information on data protection can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

e) Integration of external content

We use external dynamic content to optimize the presentation and offering of our website. When you visit the website, a request is automatically sent to the server of the respective content provider via API, in which certain log data (e.g. the user's IP address) is transmitted. The dynamic content is then sent to our website and displayed there.
We use external content in connection with the following functionalities:

aa) Google Maps

We use the Google Maps service from Google on our website to provide you with an interactive map. When the map is displayed, data, including your IP address and location, is transferred to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This processing is carried out due to our overriding legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR.

Google is certified under: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

BB) Adobe Typekit

In order to make visiting our website more attractive, we use external fonts from Adobe Typekit. These are loaded from servers of Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, California, USA ("Adobe") when you visit the site. Adobe does not store cookies in your browser. However, according to our information, the IP address of the user's device is transmitted to Adobe and stored. This processing is carried out due to our overriding legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR.

f) Social plugins

We use third-party plug-ins on our websites. This allows you to inform your contacts whether you like our website, point out content or share content. The plug-ins are identified by the logo of the respective third-party provider.

When you visit our website, your data will be transferred to the respective third-party providers.

If you are also a user of a third-party provider, this data can be assigned to the corresponding user account with the provider.

This data may be transferred to the third-party provider even if you are not registered as a user with the third-party provider and do not click on the plug-in on our website.

However, if data is transmitted without simultaneous registration with the third-party provider, it is not immediately possible to establish a direct personal reference to you, e.g. via the IP address; this would only be possible with information from your provider.

The purpose and scope of data processing by the third-party provider can be found in the data protection information of the respective provider.

This data is processed based on our overriding legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our online offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Our website uses plugins from the following providers:

Facebook plugin, Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.
