Preface

The operators of this website take the protection of private data seriously. Special attention to privacy when processing personal data is an important concern. Personal data is used in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act; the operators of this website undertake to maintain confidentiality. This website may contain links to websites of other providers to which this privacy policy does not extend.

Personal information

Personal data is information that can be used to determine the identity of a specific person. This includes information such as name, address, postal address and telephone number. Information that is not directly related to a person's identity (such as favourite websites or the number of users of a particular Internet service) is not included. In principle, this online service can be used without disclosing your identity.

No personal data is used. We reserve the right to statistically analyse anonymised data sets.

We use personal data for the purposes of technical administration of the websites only to the extent necessary in each case. Beyond that, personal data is only stored if it is provided voluntarily.

Purposes of processing

  1. Provision, improvement and further development of the website
  2. Compilation of usage statistics
  3. Detection, prevention and investigation of attacks on the website
  4. Responding to email enquiries from users

Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is our overriding legitimate interest (in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation), which consists of achieving the purposes mentioned above in point 2.

The transfer of personal data

We will not transfer personal data to any recipients for the purposes mentioned above.

Storage duration

We only store personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes specified in point 2 and as permitted by applicable law. We also store your personal data for as long as statutory retention periods exist or limitation periods for potential legal claims have not yet expired.

Cookies and server logs

However, cookies may be used by third-party providers whose products are linked to our site (Vimeo, YouTube, etc.). In this case, users are notified and thereby agree to the terms and conditions of the third-party provider.

Visits are stored in logs on the server side for a short period of time. This serves to defend against attacks.

Minors

Persons under the age of 18 should not submit any personal data on these web pages without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from minors, collect it, or pass it on to third parties.

Links to other websites

This online offering contains links to other external websites. We have no influence over whether the data protection regulations are complied with on other external websites.

Your rights in relation to personal data

Under current law, you are entitled, among other things, to:

  1. check whether and what personal data we have stored about you and to obtain copies of this data
  2. request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. This helps in particular to ensure that we do not contact you in future.
  3. request the correction, supplementation or deletion of your personal data that is incorrect or not processed in accordance with the law. Your data can only be deleted once the statutory tax retention periods have expired. Furthermore, deleting your data does not prevent us from contacting you again in the future.
  4. You also have the right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes at any time. If processing is based on your consent, you can revoke this at any time.
  5. In addition, for the purposes of data portability, you can request to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or, if technically possible, request that it be transferred to another controller.
  6. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data is unlawful.
