data privacy

Personal data (hereinafter mostly referred to as ‘data’) is only processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered there.

According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘GDPR’), ‘processing’ means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

With the following data protection declaration, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we decide either alone or together with others on the purposes and means of processing. We also inform you below about the third-party components used by us for optimisation purposes and to increase the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data under their own responsibility.

Scope of application

This privacy policy is intended to inform the users of this website in accordance with the GDPR about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator. The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory provisions. Please bear in mind that the use of the Internet can always be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be realised. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by other means.

SSL encryption (HTTPS protocol)

The website operators use SSL encryption to protect your transmitted data in the best possible way. You can recognise such encrypted connections by the prefix ‘https://’ in the page link in the address bar of your browser. Unencrypted pages are identified by ‘http://’. Thanks to SSL encryption, none of the data you transmit to this website – such as enquiries or logins – can be read by third parties.

Access data

The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as ‘server log files’. The following data is logged:

  • Visited website
  • Time at the time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you reached the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used by the user
  • IP address used by the user

The data collected is only used for statistical analyses and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

The storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

If you have consented to the processing of personal data, see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, you can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. You can find the text of Art. 6 GDPR here:

Transfer to Third Parties

The personal data you provide will be collected and stored exclusively for our internal use and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors who also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to us. The transfer of data to processors is based on Art. 28 para. 1 GDPR.

The sale of your data to third parties and/or the transfer of data for marketing purposes is hereby excluded.

Your personal data may be forwarded to law enforcement authorities and, where applicable, to third parties who have suffered damage without your express consent if it is necessary to clarify unlawful use of our services or for legal prosecution. However, this only occurs if there are concrete indications of illegal or abusive behavior. A transfer can also take place if it serves to enforce terms of use or other agreements. We are also legally obliged to provide information to certain public authorities upon request. These are law enforcement authorities, authorities that prosecute administrative offenses subject to fines, and the tax authorities.

The transfer of this data is based on our legitimate interest in combating abuse, prosecuting criminal offenses, and securing, asserting, and enforcing claims, provided your rights and interests in protecting your personal data do not prevail, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. There is no transfer to third countries.
