Thank you for visiting our website. Protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below you will find extensive information about how we handle your data.
1. Access data and hosting
You may visit our website without revealing any personal information. With every visit on the website, the web server stores automatically only a so-called server log file which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the request. These access data are analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our online appearance. This serves according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR the protection of our legitimate interests in the proper presentation of our online appearance that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests. All access data are deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit on our website.
1.1 Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers on the basis of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.
1.2 Content Delivery Network
For the purpose of a shorter loading time, we use for some offers a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") . This service provides content, e.g. large media files, via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers.

If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.
2. Data processing for the purposes of establishing contact and customer communication
Establishing contact
We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we necessarily need the data to process your contact and you cannot send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your enquiries in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
After complete processing of your enquiry, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.

the page from which the page was requested (so-called referrer URL),
the date and time of the request,
the description of the type of web browser used,
the IP address of the requesting computer,
the e-mail address,
the date and time of registration and confirmation
and the single-pixel technologies with your e-mail address or your IP address and, if applicable, an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter may also contain this ID.

The information will be stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter.

Outbrain
This website uses various services from "Outbrain" (Outbrain UK Limited, 5th Floor, The Place, 175 High Holborn, London WC1V 7AA, United Kingdom). This enables us to point you to additional content on our website that may also be of interest to you. For this purpose, you will be shown individualized advertisements when you visit third-party websites. The content of the advertisements is selected and made available by "Outbrain". This is done using a so-called "Outbrain widget".
In order to be able to draw your attention to content that may be relevant to you, "Outbrain" uses cookies. In addition, each website visitor who interacts with an "Outbrain widget" is assigned a "Unique User ID" (UUID) by "Outbrain". This UUID is created based on the anonymized IP address and assigned to the respective browser or device of a website visitor. User agent data is also collected here: device type, browser type, operating system, the pages visited, the time of the visit and the referring URLs and other information normally transmitted with HTTP requests. The last octet is removed to make the IP address anonymous. The UUID is used to analyze and catalog the content consumed by “Outbrain” on “Outbrain” partner websites so that further, possibly relevant content can be displayed with a UUID.
The “Outbrain pixel” is also used on this website to determine whether a website visitor has a UUID. This enables us to obtain information about our respective campaigns or advertisements. If a website visitor has a UUID, this is recorded by the "Outbrain pixel". If a website visitor has a UUID, this also enables us to display advertisements to these UUIDs. No other personal data is collected via the “Outbrain pixel”.
The use of the services of "Outbrain" takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
If personal data is processed outside the EU or the EEA as part of the use of "Outbrain" services, "Outbrain" ensures that this processing complies with the requirements of European data protection laws and that appropriate guarantees are taken in accordance with Article 44 et sqq. GDPR.
