General statements about WebBeacons / Tracking-Pixel

WebBeacons are invisible graphics with the size of a pixel. These are used by partner companies, in particular for the purpose of tracking a user via various web pages to form profiles for use in advertising tailored to the user (targeting). A pixel embedded in the web page is loaded from the partner's server when the web page is called. The partner receives your IP address, information about your browser and its version as well as browser plug-ins used (browser fingerprint), your operating system and your network operator.

Contents of external providers

By accessing our website, these providers may receive information about your visit to our website, for example by transmitting your IP address. You can prevent this transmission by installing a JavaScript blocker such as the browser plug-in'NoScript' or deactivating JavaScript in your browser. However, this can lead to functional restrictions.

Some of our websites integrate third party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, images, texts and multimedia files, RSS feeds or other services from other websites. This always requires a transmission of your IP address to the providers of this content. We cannot make any statement about the use of your data by these providers and have no influence on further processing.

Special data protection clause for the monitoring software Matomo (formerly Piwik):

We are in a position to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website by evaluating the data obtained. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, it is also in our legitimate interest to process the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. By anonymizing the IP address, users' interest in protecting their personal data is sufficiently taken into account. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

Contact form and e-mail contact

There is a contact form on our website which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. This data is: Name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, etc. At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored: The IP address, date and time. Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data within the scope of the sending process and reference is made to this data protection declaration.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for processing is:

 For the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user, Art.6 para. 1 lit. a.

 For the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail, Art.6 para.1 lit.f with the above-mentioned legitimate interests.

 If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art.6 Abs.1 lit.b.

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only for the treatment of the establishment of contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

Data transmission via the Internet

Data transmission over the Internet is generally associated with certain risks. A special encryption of the data is not carried out, especially messages from the contact form of our website and messages in the service chat are transmitted unencrypted . If you wish to communicate with us by encrypted e-mail, this is possible using SMIME encryption. Please inform us of your wish for encryption, as we regularly send unencrypted, due to the currently low market penetration of e-mail encryption methods.

Data transfer

If you provide us with personal data, this will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the processing of the contractual relationship or if another legal reason justifies this transfer.

However, we provide certain services with the cooperation of service providers. We have carefully selected these service providers and have taken appropriate measures to protect your personal data.
