The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

Purposes of data processing by us and third parties

We process your data for the following purposes and for the following legitimate interests:

  • Contract processing
  • Advertising
  • Protection against misuse / danger prevention
  • Service quality and improvement of our offer

Legal basis: 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 share your personal data with third parties if:

  • you have given your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) to do so,
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR),

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent, e.g. when we publish images that are subject to your copyright or on which you are depicted. You have the right to revoke given consents in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR with effect for the future. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient.

Right of objection

What data is collected on our website?

This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera), the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

The internet provider of these pages therefore automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • browser type and browser version

  • time of the server request
  • IP address

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. A combination of this data with other data sources is not made. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the website content requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. In particular, it is processed for the following purposes:

  • ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website
  • ensuring the smooth use of our website
  • evaluating system security and stability, and
  • for other administrative purposes

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned data collection purposes. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, order processors. Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.
