Privacy Policy

Personal data (hereinafter referred to as “data”) is processed by us only as necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents and the services offered there.

According to Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e., the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”), “processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we decide alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing. Furthermore, we inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to increase the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data under their own responsibility.

Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about us as controllers
II. Rights of users and data subjects

II. Rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

• to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the processed data, to further information about data processing, and to copies of the data (see also Art. 15 GDPR);

• to rectification or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);

• to immediate deletion of the data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary according to Art. 17 (3) GDPR, to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;

• to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transmission of this data to other providers/controllers (see also Art. 20 GDPR);

• to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in violation of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed about any rectification or deletion of data or restriction of processing carried out pursuant to Articles 16, 17 (1), 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not exist if the notification is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

Users and data subjects also have the right to object to future processing of data concerning them according to Art. 21 GDPR, provided the data is processed by the provider based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for direct marketing purposes is permissible.

III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary and no other information is given below regarding individual processing procedures.

We use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner” to manage cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents. You can find details about the functionality of “Real Cookie Banner” here: https://devowl.io/knowledge-base/real-cookie-banner-data-processing/

The legal basis for processing personal data in this context is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the management of cookies and similar technologies and the corresponding consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.

Cookie Manager
To obtain consent for the use of non-essential cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.

When visiting the website, a cookie with consent settings information is stored on the user’s device, so that on a subsequent visit, the consent inquiry does not have to be repeated.

The cookie is necessary to obtain legally compliant user consent.

Users can prevent or end the installation of cookies through their browser settings.

Cookies
a) Session Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by your internet browser. These cookies process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, for example, by enabling the display of our website in different languages or offering a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR if these cookies are used to initiate or execute contracts.

If processing does not serve the purpose of contract initiation or execution, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

b) Third-party Cookies
It is possible that cookies from partner companies we collaborate with for advertising, analysis, or the functionality of our website are also used.

Details, particularly regarding the purposes and legal bases of such third-party cookies, can be found in the information below.

c) Disabling cookies
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting your internet browser settings. You can also delete already stored cookies at any time. However, the necessary steps and measures depend on the specific browser you use. Please use your browser’s help function or documentation, or contact its manufacturer or support if you have any questions. Flash cookies, however, cannot be restricted via browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash Player. The necessary steps and measures again depend on your specific Flash Player. Please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash Player or contact its manufacturer or support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Contact inquiries / Contact option
If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your inquiry. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your inquiry – without their provision we cannot or can only to a limited extent respond to your inquiry.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your inquiry has been finally answered and if there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary, for example, in the case of a subsequent contract execution.

Server Data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or our webspace provider by your internet browser. These server log files record, among other things, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our site (referrer URL), the websites of our site you visit, the date and time of each access, and the IP address of the internet connection from which the use of our website occurs.

The data collected in this way is temporarily stored but not combined with other data from you.

The storage is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.

The data is deleted after no more than seven days, provided that no further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is wholly or partially excluded from deletion until final clarification of an incident.

Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts to display external fonts on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google.”

When you access our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established to enable the display of certain fonts.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing and economically operating our website.

By connecting to Google when you access our website, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the font is to be transmitted.
