  3. What are personal data?

    The term personal data is defined in the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (Federal Data Protection Act) and the GDPR.

  5. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

    3. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
    4. In cases where vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
    5. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Matomo uses cookies, which are stored on your computer and which enable an anonymised analysis of your use of the website. A conclusion on a specific person is not possible, because your IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before saving.

    10. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

      You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

      • a. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,

  16. Integration of other third-party services and content

    DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
    It can happen that within this online offer contents of third parties, such as videos, fonts or graphics from other websites are integrated. This always requires that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as “third party providers”) are aware of the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on this if the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as we are aware of this, we inform the users about it. We would like to provide and improve our online offer through these integrations.

    LEGAL BASIS
    The legal basis for the integration of other services and content of third parties is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in the intention of an appropriate presentation of our online presence and user-friendly and economically efficient services on our part. For further information, please refer to the respective privacy statements of the providers.

    CONTRACTUAL OR LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE PERSONAL DATA
    The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and is also not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data.

  18. Google Analytics

    DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE
    This website uses the “Google Analytics 4” service, which is provided by Google LLC, to analyze website usage by users. The service uses “cookies” - text files that are stored on your terminal device. First party cookies are used for this purpose. With a first party cookie, the user can only be recognized by the site from which the cookie originated, not across multiple domains. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If necessary, Google Analytics is used on this website with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Please also note the following information on the use of Google Analytics: The IP address of users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. For EU citizens, the IP address is also only used to derive location data and then deleted again. You also have the option to activate or deactivate the collection of detailed location and device data for individual regions (tracking settings). As part of the order processing agreement that the website operators have concluded with Google LLC, the latter uses the collected information to create an evaluation of website use and website activity and provides services associated with internet use.

  23. Data transmission to third countries

    The controller may transfer personal data to a third country. In principle, the controller may provide various appropriate safeguards to ensure that an adequate level of protection is provided for the processing operations. It is possible to transfer data transfers on the basis of an adequacy finding, internal data protection rules, approved codes of conduct, standard data protection clauses or an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 46 (2) (a) - (f) GDPR.

    If the person responsible undertakes a transfer to a third country on the legal basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR, you will be informed at this point about the possible risks of a data transfer to a third country.

    There is a risk that the third country receiving your personal data may not provide an equivalent level of protection compared to the protection of personal data in the European Union. This may be the case, for example, if the EU Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the third country in question or if certain agreements between the European Union and the third country in question are declared invalid. Specifically, there are risks in some third countries with regard to the effective protection of EU fundamental rights through the use of monitoring laws (e.g. USA). In such a case, it is the responsibility of the controller and the recipient to assess whether the rights of data subject in the third country enjoy a level of protection equivalent to that in the Union and can be effectively enforced.

    However, the basic data protection regulation should not undermine the level of protection of natural persons ensured throughout the Union when personal data are transferred from the Union to controllers, processors or other recipients in third countries or to international organizations, even if personal data are further transferred from a third country or from an international organization to controllers or processors in the same or another third country or to the same or another international organization.

  24. Safety

    We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. In addition, we guarantee data protection on an ongoing basis by constantly auditing and optimizing our data protection organization.
