We appreciate your interest in our online presences (websites, social media presences, e-mail). The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your personal data that you share with us via our online presences.

Your access data

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time you access a website, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the request. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. All access data is deleted no later than thirty days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting

The services for hosting the websites or e-mail and for displaying the websites are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on these websites are processed on their servers within the EU/EEA. 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.

Data security

In order to protect your data from unwanted access as comprehensively as possible, we take technical and organizational measures. We use an encryption procedure on our websites. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol is closed in the status bar of your browser and the address line begins with https://.

Data processing for contact

In order to process your inquiries, we collect personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO if you voluntarily provide us with this data when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such, since in these cases we absolutely need the data to process your contact. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. After complete processing of your request, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO or we are obliged to further storage due to legal provisions.

E-mail and contact form

When you contact us using the contact form, data is stored on the web server and an email is forwarded to us. E-mail is an unencrypted form of communication. Therefore, please do not include sensitive personal data or other sensitive information in the content of your e-mail or contact form. If you wish to send us confidential information, please contact us for information on encrypted communication channels.
