III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior obtaining of consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Deletion of data and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Furthermore, storage may take place if provided for by European or national legislators in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for concluding or fulfilling a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.

The following data is collected in this context:

1. Information about the browser type and the used version
2. The user's operating system
3. The user's internet service provider
4. The user's IP address
5. Date and time of access
6. Websites from which the user's system reached our website
7. Websites that are accessed from the user's system via our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of these data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's device. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. The data also serve to technically optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of data collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after at most seven days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of users are deleted or anonymized so that assignment of the requesting client is no longer possible.

5. Right to object and removal option

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Therefore, there is no option for objection by the user.

IX. Web analytics by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

Matomo offers various options for web analysis. This tool offers the possibility to operate without setting cookies and only with anonymized or no IP address. Consequently, the consent requirements then do not apply. The explanation below represents the standard case in which cookies are set.

1. Scope of processing of personal data

We use the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. The software sets a cookie on the users' computers (see cookies above). When individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data are stored:

1. Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system
2. The page accessed
3. The website from which the user reached the accessed page (referrer)
4. The subpages that are accessed from the accessed page
5. The duration of the stay on the page
6. The frequency of accessing the page

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. Personal data of users are stored only there. The data are not passed on to third parties.
The software is configured so that IP addresses are not stored in full; instead, 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to associate the truncated IP address with the calling computer.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze our users' surfing behavior. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the usage of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the users' interest in the protection of their personal data is adequately taken into account.

4. Duration of storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes.

5. Objection and removal options

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our site. Therefore, as a user you also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your web browser you can deactivate or restrict the storage of cookies. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies for our website are disabled, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

X. Integration of external services

Integration of YouTube videos

We embed videos from the YouTube service, an offering of Google LLC (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), on our website. When a video is played, your browser automatically loads data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, date/time and interactions to the YouTube servers. YouTube may also use cookies and similar technologies. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in providing multimedia content). Since YouTube sets tracking cookies, we obtain your consent in advance. You can withdraw your consent at any time in our cookie settings. Data are transferred to the USA; Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“Privacy Shield”). Further information can be found in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You are entitled to all rights of data subjects under the GDPR.

Integration of Vimeo videos

We embed videos from the Vimeo service on our website. The provider is Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, New York, NY 10001, USA. As soon as you start such a video, your browser automatically establishes a connection to the Vimeo servers. In doing so, in particular your IP address, information about browser/operating system, date and time of access as well as your interactions (e.g. start, pause) are transmitted. Vimeo uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. The embedded player places, among others, the cookie “vuid” (storage duration ≈ 2 years, purpose = usage statistics) as well as “player” (≈ 1 year, purpose = storage of your player settings); further technically necessary cookies may be added, e.g. for bot protection.
The legal basis for the embedding is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an appealing, multimedia presentation of our offerings). Since the Vimeo players may set cookies for reach and usage analysis, we obtain your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR before loading the player. You can withdraw this consent at any time in the cookie settings of our website with effect for the future.
By using the player, personal data are transferred to the USA. Vimeo participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is thus certified for transatlantic data transfer pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
Further information on data processing by Vimeo can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://vimeo.com/privacy. You are entitled to all data subject rights under the GDPR (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, complaint to a supervisory authority).

Integration of Google Maps

On our website we use the mapping service Google Maps of Google LLC (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). With each map call, your browser automatically loads data such as IP address, browser type, geolocation data (if released), date/time and cookies to the Google servers. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in an interactive map display). Your consent is required in advance because Google Maps may set tracking cookies. You can withdraw consent in our cookie settings at any time. Data are transferred to the USA; Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (“Privacy Shield”). Further information: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Data subject rights: access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, objection.

Integration of OpenStreetMap

Our website uses OpenStreetMap, provided by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (65 Leazes Park Road, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 4PF, United Kingdom). When the map is loaded, only map data (tile images, scripts) are retrieved from the OpenStreetMap server; personal data are only collected if you agree to share your device's location. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the map display). OpenStreetMap does not set tracking cookies, so no consent is required. The servers are located in Europe; no transfer of data to third countries takes place. Further information: https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy. Data subject rights: access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, objection.

Integration of tawk.to chat

On our website we use the live chat service tawk.to, a service of tawk.to Inc. (187 East Warm Springs Rd, SB298, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119, USA). When the chat widget is loaded, data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, date/time of access and, where applicable, location data and cookies are automatically transmitted to tawk.to. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in direct user communication). As tawk.to sets cookies, your consent given for this purpose is required and can be revoked at any time via our cookie banner. Data transfer to the USA takes place with tawk.to's participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF and the Swiss-U.S. DPF. Further information can be found in tawk.to's privacy policy at https://www.tawk.to/privacy-policy/. You have the rights under the GDPR (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, objection).

Integration of Google Fonts

We use fonts ("Google Web Fonts") from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland on our website to improve readability and the consistent appearance of our pages. The font files are only loaded after you have expressly consented to the corresponding category ("Fonts/External Media") via our consent banner. Only after your consent does your browser establish a connection to the domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com; in the process, your IP address and certain technical information (e.g. browser type, operating system and referrer URL) are transmitted to Google in the USA. The legal basis for this data processing is your voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, which is provided solely for the stated purpose. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking "Change settings" in the cookie banner or deleting the corresponding cookies in your browser. Details on the storage duration and scope of the data processed by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. For further information about your rights and general notes on data protection, please refer to the other sections of this privacy policy.

Integration of Google Analytics (GA4)

On the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) we use the web analysis tool Google Analytics version 4. The service provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; for Europe, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland acts. The purpose of the processing is to statistically analyze user behavior on our website, measure reach and continuously optimize our content.
For this purpose, Google Analytics stores, among other things, device and browser information, pseudonymized user IDs, pages visited, dwell time, click paths, coarse location data, and events defined by us (e.g. scroll depth or video plays). The IP address is shortened (so-called IP anonymization) before any further processing within the EU or EEA so that no unique personal reference remains.
The collected information may be transferred to and processed on Google servers in the USA. Google bases these transfers on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses; in addition, there is a data processing agreement with Google pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. By default, user and event data are stored for 14 months and then automatically deleted or anonymized; deviating retention periods are documented by us in the Google Analytics interface.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling the “Statistics” category in our cookie banner. Google also offers a browser add-on to disable Google Analytics https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The lawfulness of processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary

1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;

Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

You shall have the right to exercise your objection by automated means using technical specifications where you use services of the information society, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR.

8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

9. Automated individual decision-making 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 shall not apply if the decision

1. is necessary for entering into or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
2. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and that law provides for suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, such decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention by the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
