Collection and Processing of Personal Data

When using our website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is information that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Data Collected During Website Visit

When using our website for informational purposes only, we collect only the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference to GMT
  • Content of the request
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Website from which the request comes
  • Browser and operating system

Hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider. Personal data collected on this website is processed on the provider's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, website access and other data generated through the use of a website.

The use of the hosting provider is based on our legitimate interest in a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offering by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our hosting provider will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and will follow our instructions with regard to this data. A data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR is in place.

Cookies and Local Storage

This website sets no cookies without consent. Analytics cookies are only placed if you agree via the cookie banner, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time through the cookie settings.

We use the browser's local storage exclusively for technically necessary purposes (for example, remembering that an intro animation has already been shown, your language choice, or your cookie decision). This data never leaves your device, contains no personal information, and the legal basis is our legitimate interest in a technically flawless presentation of the website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Web Analytics (Google Analytics)

With your consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, loaded through Google Tag Manager. It helps us understand how the website is used so we can improve it. This processing takes place only after you opt in via the cookie banner; the legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time with effect for the future through the cookie settings.

Analytics data may be transferred to Google servers, including in the USA, on the basis of the EU standard contractual clauses. If you do not consent, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is collected. You can also prevent collection through your browser settings or Google opt-out tools.

Legal Basis for Data Processing

The processing of your personal data is generally only done with your 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.

Where we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of 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.

Data Transfer to Third Parties

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We will only share your personal data with third parties if:

  • You have given your express consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR)
  • The disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
  • There is a legal obligation to disclose (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR)
  • It is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)

Contact Form and Email

If you send us inquiries via the contact form or by email, your information from the form (name, email address, phone number if provided, subject and message), including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Rights of the Data Subject

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

  • Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
  • Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)

Data Security

We use the widespread SSL protocol (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is typically 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead.

Furthermore, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
