Deletion of Data
Based on Articles 17 and 18 GDPR, the data you provide and that we process will be deleted or restricted in processing. Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy when specific data will be deleted, we would like to point out that such data will be deleted as soon as the purpose for processing is achieved and there are no legal retention obligations preventing this. In the latter case, the data will be restricted in processing. This applies especially to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons. According to § 257 (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB), a retention period of six years applies, for example, to commercial books, inventories, opening balances, annual financial statements, business letters, accounting records, etc., and according to § 147 (1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO), a period of ten years applies to books, records, management reports, accounting records, business and commercial correspondence, relevant documents related to taxation, etc.
Data Collection on Our Website
- Server Log Files Our website is hosted on servers. The provider of these servers automatically stores information about visits to our website. These are known as log files, which are automatically transmitted by the browser you are using. The following information is particularly transmitted:
- Language,
- Browser type and version,
- Time of the server request,
- IP address,
- Error codes,
- Operating system used,
- Referrer URL.
These data are generally not merged with other data sources.
The legal basis for the collection and processing of this data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. This legal basis constitutes our legitimate interest in fulfilling a contract or pre-contractual measures.
- Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies in some areas. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device and can be retrieved later.
We use so-called "session cookies." These are stored only for the duration of your current visit to our website. They are automatically deleted after your visit ends.
If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you need to disable the corresponding option in your browser’s system settings. Previously saved cookies can also be deleted in the system settings. If you choose not to allow cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
If cookies are used that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for certain functions you require, these will be stored and processed based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services.
You will be informed separately in this privacy policy about the use of cookies that are used for the analysis of your browsing behavior.
- Contact Form / Email
If you choose to contact us using the contact form on the website, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter, will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and in case of follow-up questions. These data will not be shared without your explicit consent.
The processing of the data you enter into the contact form is therefore primarily based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time. A simple notification, for example via email, is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected. If you contact us without explicit consent, e.g., via email, the processing of your data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry.
All data you provide will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies. The latter is the case, for example, when your inquiry has been fully processed. A review of necessity takes place every two years. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, your data will be deleted after the respective period expires. Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods (6 years for commercial and 10 years for tax-related purposes), remain unaffected.
- Server Log Files Our website is hosted on servers. The provider of these servers automatically stores information about visits to our website. These are known as log files, which are automatically transmitted by the browser you are using. The following information is particularly transmitted:
Plug-ins and Tools
- Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of this service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies. The data generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The storage and processing of the data generated by Google Analytics is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our advertising and our services.
Google is certified under the so-called Privacy Shield agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active). We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymization. IP anonymization means that the IP address of users is shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other data from Google.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can also prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking the link -Deactivate Google Analytics-. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website.
Our website uses the “Demographics” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated containing information on the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to associate this data with a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the settings in your Google account.
For more information on how Google uses data and your options for settings and objection, please visit Google's websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners and Google's Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Finally, we would like to point out that we have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
- Google Maps
Our website uses the Google Maps data service via an API (application programming interface). The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Using Google Maps requires the storage of your IP address. This information is typically transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We, as the provider of this website, have no influence on this data transmission.

However, sharing data with YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
Once you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
In addition, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device. These cookies can provide YouTube with information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
