General Collection of Data

When you access our website or retrieve a file, data relating to this process is stored in a log file on our web server. In particular, the following data may be stored:

• IP address (where possible, this is stored in anonymised form)
• Domain name of the website from which you accessed our website
• Names of the files retrieved
• Date and time of access
• Name of your Internet service provider
• Where applicable, the operating system and browser version of your device

We reserve the right to carry out statistical analyses of anonymised datasets.

Legal Basis for Processing

The processing of the above-mentioned personal data is necessary for the provision of our website and is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

We also store your IP address for security purposes. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, for the purpose of safeguarding our legitimate interest in securing our website. In this case, we assume that your interest in the protection of your data does not override our legitimate interests.

Disclosure of Data

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only disclose your personal data to third parties where this is legally permissible and necessary for the provision of our website pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, or where disclosure is required pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.

Data Retention Period

We process your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the respective purpose or to comply with the applicable statutory retention periods.

Once the purpose of processing no longer applies, the personal data will routinely be restricted or deleted in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

Cookies

A cookie is a data record that is created when a website is visited and stored temporarily on the visitor's system. If the server of our website is accessed again by the visitor, the visitor's browser sends the previously received cookie back to the server. The server can evaluate the information obtained through this process.

The following cookie on our website is required to ensure the functionality and operation of the website:

The legal basis for the use of this cookie is Section 25(2) TDDDG.

If you wish to prevent the use of cookies in general, you can do so through local settings in your web browser (Google Chrome, Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.).

Contact

If you send us enquiries by e-mail, the information contained in your e-mail, including the contact details you provide, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your enquiry and any follow-up questions.

Your data will be used exclusively for the purpose of responding to and processing your enquiry.

The processing of data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for the initiation of a contractual relationship.

You may object to this at any time (right of withdrawal). However, in such a case, it will not be possible to process and respond to your enquiry.

SSL Encryption

This website uses SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) for the transmission of data between your browser and our server, as well as servers providing files that are integrated into our website.

SSL ensures that data is transmitted in encrypted form. The data cannot be altered during transmission, and the sender can be identified.

You can recognise the use of SSL encryption by the prefix "https" before the website address displayed in your browser.

References to Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain references to third-party websites in the form of links. Data is only transferred to the destination website when you click on such a link. This is technically necessary.

The data transferred includes, in particular:

• Your IP address
• The time at which you clicked the link
• The page on which you clicked the link
• Information about your internet browser

If you do not wish this data to be transmitted to the destination website, please do not click on the link.

If you follow a link to one of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy notices (also referred to as privacy policies or data protection notices) and that we accept no responsibility or liability for their data processing activities.

Please review these privacy notices before providing any personal data to such websites.

Security Notice

We have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures.

We protect our website and other IT systems against loss, destruction, unauthorised access, unauthorised alteration or unauthorised disclosure of your data by means of appropriate technical and organisational measures, in order to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible for the personal data processed via our website.

Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may inherently contain security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

Rights of Data Subjects

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:

• Right of Access

• Right to Rectification

If inaccurate personal data concerning you is processed, you have the right to request rectification (Article 16 GDPR).

• Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”) and Restriction of Processing

Where the legal requirements are met, you may request the erasure of your personal data or the restriction of processing (Articles 17 and 18 GDPR).

• Right to Data Portability

Where you have provided consent for data processing or where a contract exists concerning the processing of data and the processing is carried out by automated means, you may have the right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR).

• Right to Withdraw Consent

Any consent granted for the processing of personal data may be withdrawn at any time, free of charge and with effect for the future.

The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR.

• Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you have complaints relating to data protection matters, you may contact the competent supervisory authority.

• Right to Object

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you where such processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (Article 21 GDPR).

If you object, we will cease processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

The objection may be submitted in any form.

To exercise your rights, please contact our external Data Protection Officer in writing or by e-mail.

Automated Decision-Making Including Profiling

We do not use automated processing procedures, including profiling, to make decisions regarding the establishment and performance of a contractual relationship (Article 22 GDPR).

Should we use such procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately where required by law.

Changes to this Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to amend this privacy notice if our online services or the methods of data collection change.

However, this only applies to information relating to data processing.

Where your consent is required, any changes to this privacy notice will only be made with your consent.
