3. general information and mandatory information

Data protection

The ope­ra­tors of this web­site take the pro­tec­tion of your per­so­nal data very serious­ly. We tre­at your per­so­nal data con­fi­den­ti­al­ly and in accordance with the sta­tu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons and this data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on.

• If you dis­pu­te the accu­ra­cy of your per­so­nal data stored by us, we usual­ly need time to check this. For the dura­ti­on of the test, you have the right to request that the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data be rest­ric­ted.
• If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data hap­pen­ed / hap­pens unlawful­ly, you can request the rest­ric­tion of the data pro­ces­sing ins­tead of the dele­ti­on.
• If we no lon­ger need your per­so­nal data, but you need them to exer­cise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data be rest­ric­ted ins­tead of dele­ti­on.
• If you have lodged an objec­tion in accordance with Art. 21 Para­graph 1 GDPR, your inte­rests and ours must be weig­hed up. As long as it is not yet clear who­se inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to request that the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data be rest­ric­ted.

If you have rest­ric­ted the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, this data — apart from its sto­rage — may only be allo­wed with your con­sent or for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defen­se of legal claims or for the pro­tec­tion of the rights of ano­ther natu­ral or legal per­son or for reasons of an important public inte­rest of the Euro­pean Uni­on or a mem­ber sta­te.

4. data collection on this website

Cookies

Our web­site uses so-cal­led “coo­kies”. Coo­kies are small text files and do not cau­se any dama­ge to your device. They are stored eit­her tem­po­r­a­ri­ly for the dura­ti­on of a ses­si­on (ses­si­on coo­kies) or per­ma­nent­ly (per­ma­nent coo­kies) on your device. Ses­si­on coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted after your visit. Per­ma­nent coo­kies remain stored on your device until you dele­te them yours­elf or your web brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­tes them.

In some cases, coo­kies from third-par­ty com­pa­nies can also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-par­ty coo­kies). The­se enable us or you to use cer­tain third-par­ty ser­vices (e.g. coo­kies for pro­ces­sing pay­ment ser­vices).

Coo­kies have dif­fe­rent func­tions. Num­e­rous coo­kies are tech­ni­cal­ly neces­sa­ry becau­se cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work wit­hout them (e.g. the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of vide­os). Other coo­kies are used to eva­lua­te user beha­vi­or or to dis­play adver­ti­sing.

Coo­kies that are requi­red to car­ry out the elec­tro­nic com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on pro­cess (neces­sa­ry coo­kies) or to pro­vi­de cer­tain func­tions you want (func­tion­al coo­kies, e.g. for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or to opti­mi­ze the web­site (e.g. coo­kies to mea­su­re the web audi­ence) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a dif­fe­rent legal basis is spe­ci­fied. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the sto­rage of coo­kies for the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mi­zed pro­vi­si­on of its ser­vices. If con­sent to the sto­rage of coo­kies has been reques­ted, the sto­rage of the rele­vant coo­kies takes place exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of this con­sent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR); the con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

You can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and only allow coo­kies in indi­vi­du­al cases, exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral and acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when you clo­se the brow­ser. If coo­kies are deac­ti­va­ted, the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site may be rest­ric­ted.

Inso­far as coo­kies are used by third-par­ty com­pa­nies or for ana­ly­sis pur­po­ses, we will inform you of this sepa­ra­te­ly in the con­text of this data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on and, if neces­sa­ry, ask for your con­sent.

Server log files

The pro­vi­der of the pages auto­ma­ti­cal­ly coll­ects and stores infor­ma­ti­on in so-cal­led ser­ver log files, which your brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cal­ly trans­mits to us. The­se are:

• Brow­ser type and brow­ser ver­si­on
• Ope­ra­ting sys­tem used
• Refer­rer URL
• Host name of the acces­sing com­pu­ter
• Time of the ser­ver request
• IP address

This data will not be mer­ged with other data sources.

This data is recor­ded on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free pre­sen­ta­ti­on and opti­miza­ti­on of his web­site — the ser­ver log files must be recor­ded for this.

Contact form

If you send us inqui­ries using the cont­act form, your details from the inquiry form, inclu­ding the cont­act details you pro­vi­ded the­re, will be stored by us for the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing the inquiry and in case of fol­low-up ques­ti­ons. We will not pass on this data wit­hout your con­sent.

This data is pro­ces­sed on the basis of Artic­le 6 (1) (b) GDPR, pro­vi­ded that your request is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, the pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the inqui­ries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

The data you enter in the cont­act form will remain with us until you ask us to dele­te it, revo­ke your con­sent to sto­rage or the pur­po­se for data sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es (e.g. after your request has been pro­ces­sed). Man­da­to­ry legal pro­vi­si­ons — in par­ti­cu­lar reten­ti­on peri­ods — remain unaf­fec­ted.

This data is pro­ces­sed on the basis of Artic­le 6 (1) (b) GDPR, pro­vi­ded that your request is rela­ted to the per­for­mance of a con­tract or is neces­sa­ry to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases, the pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the inqui­ries sent to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your con­sent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

The data you send to us via cont­act requests will remain with us until you request us to dele­te it, revo­ke your con­sent to sto­rage or the pur­po­se for data sto­rage no lon­ger appli­es (e.g. after your request has been pro­ces­sed). Man­da­to­ry legal pro­vi­si­ons — in par­ti­cu­lar legal reten­ti­on peri­ods — remain unaf­fec­ted.

You can revo­ke your con­sent to the sto­rage of the data, the e‑mail address and their use for sen­ding the news­let­ter at any time, for exam­p­le via the “Unsub­scri­be” link in the news­let­ter. The lega­li­ty of the data pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons that have alre­a­dy taken place remains unaf­fec­ted by the revo­ca­ti­on.

The data you have stored with us for the pur­po­se of sub­scrib­ing to the news­let­ter will be stored by us or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vi­der until you unsub­scri­be from the news­let­ter and will be dele­ted from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­ti­on list after you unsub­scri­be from the news­let­ter or after it has cea­sed to be used.

Accor­ding to You­Tube, this mode ensu­res that You­Tube does not store any infor­ma­ti­on about visi­tors to this web­site befo­re they watch the video. Howe­ver, the trans­fer of data to You­Tube part­ners is not neces­s­a­ri­ly excluded by the exten­ded data pro­tec­tion mode. This is how You­Tube — regard­less of whe­ther you are wat­ching a video — con­nects to the Goog­le Dou­ble­Click net­work.

As soon as you start a You­Tube video on this web­site, a con­nec­tion to the You­Tube ser­vers is estab­lished. The You­Tube ser­ver is infor­med which of our pages you have visi­ted.

You can pre­vent this by log­ging out of your You­Tube account.

Fur­ther­mo­re, after start­ing a video, You­Tube can save various coo­kies on your device or use com­pa­ra­ble reco­gni­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies (e.g. device fin­ger­prin­ting). In this way, You­Tube can recei­ve infor­ma­ti­on about visi­tors to this web­site. This infor­ma­ti­on is used, among other things. used to coll­ect video sta­tis­tics, impro­ve usa­bi­li­ty and pre­vent fraud attempts.

If neces­sa­ry, after the start of a You­Tube video, fur­ther data pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons can be trig­ge­red over which we have no influence.

You­Tube is used in the inte­rest of an appe­al­ing pre­sen­ta­ti­on of our online offers. This repres­ents a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest within the mea­ning of Artic­le 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
