PRIVACY POLICY AND CONSENT TO DATA USE
Data protection is a matter of trust, and your trust is important to us. We respect your privacy and personal rights.
Protecting your personal data and collecting, processing, and using it in compliance with the law is therefore an important concern for us. To ensure you feel safe when visiting our websites, we strictly comply with the legal provisions when processing your personal data and would like to inform you here about our data collection and data use.

II. General information on data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
As a rule, we process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. As a rule, our users’ personal data is processed only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Where we obtain the data subject’s consent for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures. Where processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
3. Data deletion and storage period
The data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

III. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. 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 accessing device. The stored data records contain the following data: date and time of access, name of the page accessed, IP address, referrer URL (origin URL from which you accessed the website), the amount of data transferred, and product and version information of the browser used. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to deliver the website to the user’s device. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us optimize the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
4. Storage period
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of storage of the data in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. Storage beyond this is possible. Users’ IP addresses are deleted or anonymized after use ends. In the case of anonymization, the IP addresses are modified in such a way that the individual details about personal or factual circumstances can no longer be attributed to a specific or identifiable natural person, or only with a disproportionately large expenditure of time, cost, and labor.
5. Right to object and removal option
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for operating the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

If such processing exists, you may request information from the controller about the following: (1) the purposes for which the personal data is processed; (2) the categories of personal data being processed; (3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed or will be disclosed; (4) the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period; (5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller, or a right to object to such processing; (6) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority; (7) all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject; (8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22(1) and (4) GDPR and—at least in those cases—meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
2. Right to rectification
You have the right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the personal data concerning you that is processed is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
3. Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of processing of the personal data concerning you: (1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data; (2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of the use of the personal data instead; (3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or (4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate grounds override your grounds. If the processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data—apart from being stored—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted under the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase You may request that the controller erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without undue delay if one of the following grounds applies: (1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. (2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing. (3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR. (4) The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully. (5) The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject. (6) The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR. b) Information to third parties If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase it, the controller shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, that personal data. c) Exceptions The right to erasure does not apply insofar as processing is necessary (1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information; (2) for compliance with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; (3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR; (4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or (5) for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
5. Right to be informed
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that (1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and (2) the processing is carried out by automated means. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services—regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC—to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller, (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law contains suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or (3) is based on your explicit consent. However, such decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken. With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
