Privacy

Basic information

This Privacy Policy is intended to inform the users of this website about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator.

The website operator takes your privacy very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal regulations. Since changes could be made to this privacy policy due to new technologies and the continuous development of this website, we recommend that you peruse the privacy policy at regular intervals.

Definitions of the terms used (e.g. "personal data" or "processing") can be found in Art. 4 of the GDPR.



Access data

We, the website operator or website provider, collect data on website access on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR) and store it as "server log files" on the website server. The following data is recorded in this way:

• Website visited
• Time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you reached the site
• Used browser
• Used operating system
• Used IP address

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and subsequently erased. The storage of the data is carried out for security reasons, for example, to resolve cases of misuse. If data must be retained for reasons of evidence, it is excluded from the deletion until the incident has been definitively clarified.

Personal data is all information that is used to identify you and which can be traced back to you – such as your name, your email address and telephone number.

You can also visit this website without giving any personal data. To improve our online offer, however, we store your access data on this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet service provider. Due to the anonymisation of the data, conclusions pertaining to your person are not possible.

Google Analytics

Due to our legitimate interests, this website uses the service "Google Analytics", which is offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), for the optimisation and analysis of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

This website makes use of IP anonymisation. The IP address of the users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states of the agreement. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transferred unabridged to the United States to a Google server and shortened there. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. The user’s IP address provided by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

As part of the agreement for third-party data processing, which we have concluded as a website operator with Google Inc., it uses the information collected to compile an analysis of website usage and website activity, and provides services related to the Internet usage.
