3.1. Provision of the Website
In order to make the Website available, to enable basic functions and trouble-free operation, it is technically necessary to process personal data. Although these are basically device data, with this data it may possible to link them to the visitors. For example, the IP addresses of the used terminals, identifiers of the used terminals, the operating systems and the browser are processed solely in order to establish a connection between the terminal and the server hosting the Website and to display the contents in the intended layout.
We use the so-called web fonts for the uniform presentation of fonts. These web fonts are provided by Google Fonts, a service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, “Google” or “Google Fonts”).
When a page is requested, the visitor’s browser loads the required web font into the visitor’s browser cache to display the texts and fonts correctly.
In order to do this, your browser must connect to the Google servers. This will notify Google that the Website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Fonts is used as per our interest of a uniform and attractive display of our online services. The use of Google Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online services.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used instead.
The legal basis for the processing is article 6.1 (f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
You can find more information regarding Google Fonts on their website and in the Privacy Policy of Google.
3.2. Security of the Website
In order to ensure the security of the Website, the data is processed by accessing the Website as server log files. Although these are basically device data, with this data may possibly be made the reference to the Website visitors. These data are matched against existing attack vectors and evaluated when detected attacks.
Data stored in the server log files includes previously visited websites, date and time of the access, the amount of data sent in bytes, the URL of the previously visited website, the internet browser and the operating system used.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of its collection. For the server log files, the maximum storage period is 7 days. If data needs to be retained for evidence, it will be exempted until the incident is finally resolved.
The legal basis for the processing is article 6.1 (f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
3.3. Range Measurement & Optimization of Our Offer
This Website uses cookies for range measurement and optimization of our offer. The cookies are transmitted either from us or from third-party servers to the visitor's browser.
As a result, a recognition of the used device is potentially possible. The data of the visitor which is collected through the use of cookies is pseudonymized. Thus, the connection between the collected data and a data subject is no longer possible, neither for us nor for third parties. The data will not be collected together with other data of the visitor. In some cases, the data is anonymized before use, so that the conclusion on the visitors is altogether impossible.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The data collected with the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored.
On this Website the IP address is anonymized and shortened. Only in certain individual cases the full IP addressed is transmitted to the servers in the USA and shortened there. This shortening of the IP address eliminates the personal reference to the IP address of the visitor.

For the newsletter service, we need the e-mail address in order to send the newsletter, as well as the name and last name to be able to address you personally and avoid abuse. After registering for the newsletter, the subscriber will receive an e-mail. This e-mail has a link with which the subscriber must confirm the registration to the newsletter service.

We use Mailchimp, a service provided by The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp (675 Ponce de Leon Ave. NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA, 30308, USA, “MailChimp”), for the provision, administration and distribution of our newsletter. Mailchimp is based in the third country USA, which basically lacks an EU level of protection. However, Mailchimp iscertified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield and thereby provides an appropriate level of data protection according to article 45 GDPR.
This service enables us to internally manage a database of the e-mail addresses to communicate with subscribers. The service also manages data regarding when an e-mail was read by a subscriber and when a subscriber interacted with the incoming e-mail, for example by clicking on the links included in such e-mail. This is done by using the so-called web beacons, also known as tracking pixels. Tracking pixels are small image files that allow us to evaluate user behavior.
MailChimp transmits personal data to external service providers in order to offer its services.
You can object to this tracking at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter as described above. In the event that you de-activate the display of images in your e-mail program by default, the evaluation by MailChimp described above is not possible.
