Data processing when you visit our website

When you visit our website, our web server temporarily stores each access in a log file. The following data are recorded and stored until they are deleted automatically:

  • IP address of the inquiring computer
  • date and time of the access
  • visited domain
  • name and URL of the called file
  • transferred data volume
  • report whether the access was successful
  • identification data of the browser and operation system used.

These data are processed in order to make it possible to use the website (establish a connection), for system security, technical administration of the network infrastructure and to optimise the internet offer. We cannot allocate these data to specific persons. We do not combine this data with other data sources. Also, the data are deleted after a statistical analysis.

Use of cookies

We use so-called cookies to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. Cookies are small text files saved on your end device. Some of the cookies used by us are deleted after the end of the browser session or when you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us or our partner companies to identify you when you visit next (so-called persistent cookies).

Some cookies are used to simplify website processes by saving settings (e.g. keeping already selected options). Where individual cookies implemented by us process personal data, the processing is either for contract performance in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR or to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible website functionality and in a customer-friendly, effective design of the page visit in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

You can choose browser settings that notify you when cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them or you can prevent cookies from being accepted either in general or in specific cases. If you do not accept cookies, this may restrict the functionality of our website.
 

Creation of pseudonymised user profiles for web analysis

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", i.e. text components saved on your computer, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information regarding your use of this website, which is created by the cookie, is normally sent to the Google server in the USA and saved there. If IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, Google first abbreviates your IP address in countries that are Member States of the European Union or Contracting Parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to the Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. Commissioned by the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to analyse use of the website, compile website activity reports and provide other services related to website or internet use for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with the other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in such a case, you will be unable to fully use all functions of this website.

In addition, you can prevent the data created by the cookie and related to the use of the website (incl. your IP-address) from being recorded by Google and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Newsletter dispatch

If you want to receive the newsletter available on our website containing regular information about our offers and products, we need your email address.

With the confirmation, you give us your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR for us to use your personal data for the purpose of the requested newsletter dispatch.

When you sign up for the newsletter, we save the email address required for the dispatch, alongside the data and time of the registration and confirmation, so that we can trace any potential abuse at a later point in time.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link inserted in the newsletter or by contacting the controller listed above by email. After you have successfully unsubscribed, your email address will be deleted from our newsletter mailing list immediately, unless you have explicitly agreed to the continued use of the collected data or the continued processing is legally permissible in another way.

  • the transfer is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. f) GDPR to assert, execute or defend against legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in your data not being transferred,
  • in case a legal obligation applies to the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) GDPR and - to the extent that this is necessary to process the contractual relationship with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

They are service providers for web hosting, maintenance and servicing of our IT systems etc. These service providers will not pass on these data to third parties.
 

Storage duration for personal data

The storage duration for personal data is based on the applicable legal retention periods (e.g. in commercial law and tax law). Once the respective period has ended, the corresponding data are routinely deleted. To the extent that the data are needed for contract performance or to prepare for a contract, or if there is a legitimate interest on our part to continue storing the information, the data will be deleted once they are no longer needed for these purposes or when you make use of your right to object or your right to revoke consent.
