Your rights as a data subject

You can exercise the following rights at any time by contacting our data protection officer using the contact details provided:

  • Information about your data stored by us and its processing,
  • Correction of inaccurate personal data,
  • Deletion of your data stored with us,
  • Restriction of data processing, if we are not yet permitted to delete your data due to legal obligations.
  • Objection to the processing of your data by us and
  • Data portability, provided that you have consented to data processing or have entered into a contract with us.

If you have given us your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

You can lodge a complaint with your competent supervisory authority at any time. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state in which you reside, work or where the alleged infringement occurred. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Purposes of data processing by the responsible body and third parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  • You have given your express consent to this,
  • processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
  • processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,

processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

Deletion or blocking of data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various storage periods provided for by law. Once the respective purpose has ceased to apply or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Collection of general information when visiting our website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and similar information. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the content you have requested from websites and is mandatory when using the Internet. It is processed for the following purposes in particular:

  • Ensuring smooth connection to the website,
  • Ensuring smooth use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability, as well as
  • for other administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. The recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, the processor.

We may statistically evaluate anonymous information of this kind in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data, such as your IP address, the browser you are using, your operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to start programmes or transfer viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies enables us to facilitate navigation and ensure that our web pages are displayed correctly.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

contact form

If you contact us by email or contact form with questions of any kind, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. For this purpose, it is necessary to provide a valid email address. This is used to assign the enquiry and subsequently respond to it. The provision of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for possible follow-up questions. Once your enquiry has been dealt with, your personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing manner across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. In theory, it is possible – although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors’ use of the map functions. For more information about data processing by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy centre.

Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
