Personal data (usually referred to just as “data” below) will
only be processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing
a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents, and the
services offered there.
Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data
Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”),
“processing” refers to any operation or set of operations such as
collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation,
alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission,
dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination,
restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data, whether by
automated means or not.
The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about
the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such
data either under our own control or in conjunction with others. We also inform
you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our website and
improve the user experience which may result in said third parties also
processing data they collect and control.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:
I. Information about us as controllers of your data

II. The rights of users and
data subjects
With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below,
users and data subjects have the right
- to confirmation of whether data concerning them
is being processed, information about the data being processed, further
information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the
data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
- to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete
data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
- to the immediate deletion of data concerning them
(cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is
necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said
processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
- to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or
provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other
providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
- to file complaints with the supervisory authority
if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the
controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77
GDPR).
In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it
discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on
processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation
does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a
disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about
these recipients.
Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
III. Information about the
data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as
soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of
the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless
otherwise stipulated below.
Server data
For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to
us or to our server provider will be collected, especially to ensure a secure
and stable website: These server log files record the type and version of your
browser, operating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the
webpages on our site visited, the date and time of your visit, as well as the
IP address from which you visited our site.
The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association
with any other of your data.
The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate
interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our
website.
The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued
storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the
data will be excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant
incident is finally resolved.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other
storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies
process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location
data, or IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and
secure, allowing us, for example, to display our website in different languages
or to offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar
as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual
relationships.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our
legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The
legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we
cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analyzing, or improving the features
of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular for
the legal basis and purpose of such third-party collection and processing of
data collected through cookies.
c) Disabling cookies
You can refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings on your browser.
Likewise, you can use the browser to delete cookies that have already been
stored. However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser
you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the
documentation for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser
settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, you
will need to change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures
required for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have
any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for
your Flash player or contact its maker for support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the
functions on our site may be fully usable.

The legal basis may also be your consent per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR
granted to the platform operator. Per Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you may revoke this
consent with the platform operator at any time with future effect.
When accessing our online presence on the Facebook platform, Facebook

This data of the user is used for statistical information on the use of our
company presence on Facebook. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market

Based on these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can provide advertising both

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service
provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4,
Irland (hereinafter: Google).
Through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that it will follow the EU’s data protection regulations
when processing data in the United States.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze how our website is used.
The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in
the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our site.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, place, time, or
frequency of your visits to our website will be transmitted to a Google server
in the United States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with
the so-called anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP address
within the EU or the EEA before it is transmitted to the US.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with
an evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do once there. This
data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our
website and of the internet in general.
Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In
addition, Google provides further information with regard to its data
protection practices at
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,
including options you can exercise to prevent such use of your data.
In addition, Google offers an opt-out add-on at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
in addition with further information. This add-on can be installed on the
most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google
collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics’
JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be
transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information
from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use as
detailed herein.
Google-Maps
Our website uses Google Maps to display our location and to provide
directions. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House,
Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (hereinafter: Google).
Through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that it will follow the EU’s data protection regulations
when processing data in the United States.
To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the
Google server in the USA is established whenever our website is accessed.
If you access the Google Maps components integrated into our website,
Google will store a cookie on your device via your browser. Your user settings
and data are processed to display our location and create a route description.
We cannot prevent Google from using servers in the USA.
The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest
lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.
By connecting to Google in this way, Google can determine from which
website your request has been sent and to which IP address the directions are
transmitted.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing
the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser.
Further details can be found in the section about cookies above.
In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google
