We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and it is therefore important that you know when we collect which data and how we use it. We treat your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Definitions of terms used (Art. 4 GDPR)
“Personal data”:  any information with which a natural person can be identified. This includes, among other things, first and last name, identification numbers, location data, online identifiers, special physical or social characteristics.
“Processing”:  All procedures, whether manual or automatic, that collect, organize, organize, store, adapt, read out or delete personal data, for example.
“Responsible”:  the natural or legal person who decides the purposes and means of processing the personal data.
“Consent”: Voluntarily and in an informed manner to allow the processing of personal data in a specific case.

As new technologies and the constant further development of this website may result in changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals. If you have any questions about data protection, please contact us using the methods mentioned above.

Storage of data by accessing our websites
When you visit our website, you automatically transmit data to us. This data, such as your public IP address, is necessary in order to guarantee the technical implementation of your visit to our website (Art. 5 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Our web servers are operated in-house. We, the website operator or website provider, collect your transmitted data about your access to our website on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) and save them as “server log files” on the website server. The following data is logged in this way:

  • Visited site
  • Time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address used

The data will not be passed on for other non-commercial or commercial purposes.

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 14 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. B. to be able to clarify cases of abuse. If data has to be kept for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified. (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR)

We would like to point out that operators of pages that are linked from our offers may also save and evaluate data when our page is accessed.
External offers are no longer within our data protection control and are responsible for the processing of your personal data.

Use of YouTube videos
On some websites we use embedded videos from the provider YouTube. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC with its principal place of business at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube is represented by Google Inc. based at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To view the videos, a so-called player, i.e. playback software, is downloaded from YouTube LLC when you call up the video. This is where the video is shown. If you are logged in to Google Inc. or YouTube LLC in this browser, information about this call will be assigned to your Google Inc. profile. You can prevent this by logging out of Google Inc. or YouTube LLC beforehand.

The transfer of your personal data (Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR)
In addition to the above-mentioned technically necessary data for visiting our website, additional personal data will only be processed if you make them available to us for specific purposes. For example, in the case of inquiries or registrations for events. We only use the personal data you enter that go beyond what is technically necessary for the purpose you have requested and based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and then delete them again provided that the process does not result in any statutory storage obligations.

Data stored when accessing our website will only be transmitted to third parties

  • if this is necessary within the scope of our service provision (e.g. letter dispatch) or
  • if we are obliged to do so by law or by court order or
  • if disclosure is necessary in the event of attacks on our internet infrastructure for legal or criminal prosecution. It will not be passed on for other non-commercial or commercial purposes.

Data transmission to us,

e-mail content and your form entries are subject to telecommunications secrecy, which we ensure that is observed for our own sphere of influence. In principle, however, data transmission via the Internet can be recorded by other Internet operators and users. We have no influence on that. Personal data should therefore, if possible, be transmitted to us using the current security standards, e.g. by encrypting the data, in order to ensure integrity and confidentiality (Art. 5 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Your rights as a data subject

Right to information (Article 15 GDPR)
You can request information from us as to whether your personal data is being processed by us. If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information from us about the following information:

  • purposes of processing,
  • categories of personal data processed by you,
  • Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data are disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries,
  • if possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage duration,
  • the existence of a right to correction or deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data or a right to object to this processing,
  • the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority for data protection,
  • if the personal data have not been collected from you as the data subject, the available information about the origin of the data,
  • if applicable, in the case of transmission to recipients in third countries, provided that there is no decision by the EU Commission on the adequacy of the level of protection in accordance with Article 45 (3) GDPR, information on which suitable guarantees in accordance with Article 46 (2) GDPR for protection of the personal data are provided.

You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a format that you can read. This right can only be exercised if it does not affect the rights and freedoms of other people.

Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
You have the right to request us to correct incorrect personal data. You also have the right to ask us to complete incomplete personal data, also by means of a supplementary statement.

Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
You have a right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”), provided that the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression, the right to information or to fulfill a legal obligation or to perform a task , which is in the public interest, is necessary and one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed.
  • The sole justification for the processing was your consent, which you revoked.
  • You have objected to the processing of your personal data, which we have made public.
  • You have objected to the processing of personal data that we have not made public and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
  • Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
  • the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority for data protection,
  • The deletion of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.

There is no right to erasure if, in the case of lawful, non-automated data processing, the erasure is not possible or only possible with a disproportionate amount of effort due to the special type of storage and your interest in erasure is low. In this case, the restriction of processing takes the place of deletion.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You can request us to restrict processing if one of the following reasons applies:

  • You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction can be requested for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.
  • The processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of the use of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing that you need to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • You have lodged an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR. The restriction of processing can be requested as long as it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

Restriction of processing means that the personal data will only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we have a duty to let you know.

Notification obligation on our part (Art. 19 GDPR)
We inform all recipients to whom personal data has been disclosed of any correction or deletion of the personal data or a restriction of processing in accordance with Article 16, Article 17 paragraph 1 and Article 18, unless this proves to be the case proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. The controller shall inform the data subject about these recipients if the data subject requests it.

You have the right to data portability if the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing done using automated procedures. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons: You can request that we receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format . You have the right to transmit this data to another responsible person without hindrance on our part. As far as technically feasible, you can ask us to
