General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of personal data are processed pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG).

Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure.

Where we use processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR WHERE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (such as your name and enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been requested.

Web Analytics with Umami

This website is tracked using Umami, a self-hosted analytics software. It runs on our own infrastructure with its own database; the collected data is not transmitted to any analytics service provider or to any third country. The purpose of this tracking is to identify which pages are being visited and how the website functions technically, in order to improve it.

Umami is hosted on our server at Hetzner (see Section 2, “Hosting”). The browser does not establish a connection to any other domain.

Data collected:

• the page accessed—without query parameters or anchor tags—and its title
• the previously visited page (referrer)
• Date and time of the visit
• Browser, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and language setting
• Approximate location at the country, region, and city levels
• Technical metrics regarding the page’s loading speed (LCP, INP, CLS, FCP, TTFB)
• IP address

The IP address is not stored. It is used exclusively in RAM to derive the approximate location and, together with the browser identifier and a random additional value, to calculate a non-reversible identifier for the visit. This additional value changes daily; as a result, recognition is possible for a maximum of 24 hours and only within this website. There is no merging with other data or recognition across multiple websites.

The measurement data is deleted after twelve months.

Google Fonts (Local Hosting)

This website uses so-called Google Fonts, provided by Google, to ensure a consistent display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers is established.

Further information on Google Fonts can be found at:

• https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq

OpenStreetMap

We use the OpenStreetMap (OSM) map service. We integrate map material from OpenStreetMap via the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. The United Kingdom is considered a secure third country under data protection law. This means that the United Kingdom provides a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union. When you use OpenStreetMap maps, a connection is established to the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation.

In this process, your IP address and other information about your use of this website may be transmitted to the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF). OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use similar recognition technologies for this purpose.

OpenStreetMap is used in the interest of presenting our online services in an appealing manner and making the locations specified on our website easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
