Scope
This privacy policy informs users about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider.

The legal framework for data protection is provided by the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

Collection of general information
Each time you access this website, information is automatically collected by us or our web hosting provider. This information, also known as server log files, is general in nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity.

The following data is collected, among other things: website name, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our offer) and the IP address.

Without this data, it would be technically impossible to deliver and display the website's content. Therefore, collecting this data is essential. Furthermore, we use the anonymized information for statistical purposes. This helps us optimize our services and technology. We also reserve the right to review log files retrospectively if we suspect unlawful use of our services.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking and analytics tools and other technologies into our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It serves solely to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and easy integration and management of various tools on their website. If corresponding consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics allows website operators to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and the user's origin. This data is assigned to the respective user's device. It is not linked to a user ID.

Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to record your mouse movements, scrolling, and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data and employs machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/ .

Contact form
When you contact us via the online form or by email, we store the information you provide in order to answer your request and ask any follow-up questions.

Data minimization
In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimization, we store personal data only for as long as necessary or as required by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose for which the information was collected no longer applies or the retention period expires, we will block or delete the data.

Your rights to information, rectification, blocking, erasure and objection
You have the right to request, free of charge, information about the personal data we have stored about you and/or to request its correction, blocking, or deletion. Exceptions: This does not apply to data that is required for business transactions or that is subject to statutory retention requirements.

To ensure that a data block can be implemented at any time, it is necessary to retain the data in a blocking file for verification purposes. If there is no legal obligation to archive the data, you can also request its deletion. Otherwise, we will block the data if you so wish.

Changes to our privacy policy
To ensure that our privacy policy always complies with current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies if the privacy policy needs to be adapted due to new or revised services, such as new service offerings. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit to our website.
