<h2>Privacy Policy</h2>
Status: 11.10.2021
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Use of our websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in line with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to us. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed by means of this privacy policy about the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.
<h4>Definitions</h4>
This privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator and regulator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this privacy policy we use, inter alia, the following terms:
<ul>
<li>
<h4>a) personal data</h4>
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.</li>
<li>
<h4>b) data subject</h4>
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.</li>
<li>
<h4>c) processing</h4>
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.</li>
<li>
<h4>d) restriction of processing</h4>
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.</li>
<li>
<h4>e) profiling</h4>
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.</li>
<li>
<h4>f) pseudonymisation</h4>
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.</li>
<li>
<h4>g) controller or controller responsible for processing</h4>
The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.</li>
<li>
<h4>h) processor</h4>
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.</li>
<li>
<h4>i) recipient</h4>
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.</li>
<li>
<h4>j) third party</h4>
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.</li>
<li>
<h4>k) consent</h4>
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Name and address of the controller responsible for processing</h4>

<h4>Cookies / SessionStorage / LocalStorage</h4>
The website sometimes uses so-called cookies, LocalStorage and SessionStorage. This serves to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Local Storage and SessionStorage are technologies with which your browser stores data on your computer or mobile device. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. You can prevent the use of cookies, LocalStorage and SessionStorage by adjusting the settings in your browser accordingly.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, we can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interests of the user. As already mentioned, cookies allow us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.
The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
<h4>Collection of general data and information</h4>
With each call-up to the website by a data subject or an automated system, the website collects a range of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. Data that may be collected includes (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-pages that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore analysed by us statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services, and that this data makes it possible, if necessary, to investigate criminal offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to do so or the transfer serves criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with voluntary provision of personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time, or to have it completely deleted from the controller's data stock.
The controller shall at any time, upon request, provide each data subject with information on which personal data about the data subject are stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, insofar as no statutory retention obligations prevent this. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contacts in this context.
<h4>Contact option via the website</h4>
Due to statutory provisions, the website contains information that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
<h4>Comment function in the blog on the website</h4>
We offer users on a blog, which is located on the website of the controller, the option to leave individual comments on individual blog posts. A blog is a portal, usually publicly accessible, maintained on a website, in which one or more people, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts may usually be commented on by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, the time the comment was entered as well as the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject are stored and published, in addition to the comments left by the data subject. Furthermore, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content through a submitted comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore carried out in the controller's own interest, so that the controller could, in the event of a violation of rights, possibly exculpate itself. There is no transfer of this collected personal data to third parties, unless such transfer is required by law or serves the controller's legal defence.
<h4>Gravatar</h4>
For comments, the Gravatar service of Automattic is used. Gravatar compares your email address and displays your avatar image next to the comment – provided you are registered there. If you are not registered, no image is displayed. Please note that all registered WordPress users are automatically registered with Gravatar as well. Details about Gravatar: <a href="https://de.gravatar.com" target="blank">https://de.gravatar.com</a>
<h4>Routine deletion and blocking of personal data</h4>
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or where this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage lapses or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.
<h4>Rights of the data subject</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<h4>a) Right to confirmation</h4>
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.</li>
<li>
<h4>b) Right of access</h4>
Each data subject whose personal data are processed shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
<ul>
<li>the purposes of the processing</li>
<li>the categories of personal data concerned</li>
<li>the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations</li>
<li>where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if that is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period</li>
<li>the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data concerning the data subject or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing</li>
<li>the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority</li>
<li>where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source</li>
<li>the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and 4 GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject</li>
</ul>
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.</li>
<li>
<h4>c) Right to rectification</h4>
Each data subject whose personal data are processed shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.</li>
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.</li>
<li>
<h4>d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)</h4>
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to require the controller to erase, without undue delay, the personal data concerning them, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
<ul>
<li>The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.</li>
<li>The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 point (a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 point (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.</li>
<li>The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.</li>
<li>The personal data have been unlawfully processed.</li>
<li>The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.</li>
<li>The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.</li>
</ul>
If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data that is stored, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay.
If the personal data have been made public and our company, as controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such other controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not necessary. The employee will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.</li>
<li>
<h4>e) Right to restriction of processing</h4>
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to require the controller to restrict processing where one of the following conditions applies:
<ul>
<li>The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.</li>
<li>The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.</li>
<li>The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.</li>
<li>The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.</li>
</ul>
If one of the above conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data that is stored, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.</li>
<li>
<h4>f) Right to data portability</h4>
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 point (a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 point (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 point (b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact us at any time.</li>
<li>
<h4>g) Right to object</h4>
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 points (e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If we process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee directly. Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is also free to exercise his or her right to object in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications. h) Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject's explicit consent, we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decisions, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. i) Right to withdraw data protection consent Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time. Legal basis for the processing Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, for processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1)(d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override it. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed where the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR). Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders. Period for which the personal data will be stored The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided they are no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract. Statutory or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for entering into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data We wish to inform you that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual arrangements (e.g. details of the contracting partner). Occasionally, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides any personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. On a case-by-case basis, our employee will inform the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be. Existence of automated decision-making As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
