COLLECTION OF GENERAL INFORMATION

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and similar information. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally. It is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the website content you have requested and is inevitably collected when using the internet. We statistically evaluate anonymous information of this type in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.

REGISTRATION ON OUR WEBSITE

When registering to use our personalised services, certain personal data is collected, such as your name, address, contact and communication data including telephone number and email address. If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we offer only to registered users. Registered users also have the option to change or delete the data provided during registration at any time, if necessary. Of course, we will also provide you with information about the personal data we have stored about you at any time. We will gladly correct or delete such data at your request, insofar as there are no statutory retention obligations preventing this. For this purpose, please use the contact details provided at the end of this privacy policy.

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (for example, SSL) via HTTPS.

CONTACT FORM

If you contact us by email or contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and any possible follow-up questions.

DELETION OR BLOCKING OF DATA

We observe the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or for as long as is required by the various retention periods prescribed by law. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However, as a result of the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address is shortened in advance by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by configuring your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available here: Browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics.

In addition to, or as an alternative to, the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will then be installed on your device. This will prevent data collection by Google Analytics for this website and browser in future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

USE OF ADOBE ANALYTICS (OMNITURE)

This website uses Adobe Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited (“Adobe”). Adobe Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. If a tracking record from the browser of a website visitor is transmitted to Adobe data centres, our server settings ensure that the IP address is anonymised before geolocation, meaning that the last octet of the IP address is replaced by zeros. Before the tracking packet is stored, the IP address is replaced by individual generic IP addresses. On behalf of the website operator, Adobe will use this information to evaluate use of the website by users, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Adobe Analytics will not be merged with other Adobe data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, this website notes that you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full in that case. Users may also prevent Adobe from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website (including their IP address), as well as Adobe’s processing of this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available here: http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html.

SOCIAL PLUGINS

Our websites use social plugins from the providers listed below. You can recognise these plugins by the relevant logo.

Information, which may include personal data, may be sent to the service provider through these plugins and may be used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to service providers through a two-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be enabled by clicking the corresponding switch. Only then will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves through social plugins or their use.

We have no influence over which data an activated plugin collects or how it is used by the provider. It must currently be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services will be established and that at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used. It is also possible that service providers will attempt to store cookies on the computer being used. Please refer to the privacy notices of the respective provider to find out what specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: if you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook may identify you as a visitor to a particular page.

We have integrated social media buttons from the following companies on our website: Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave – Palo Alto – CA 94304 – USA), Twitter Inc. (795 Folsom St. – Suite 600 – San Francisco – CA 94107 – USA), Google Plus / Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway – Mountain View – CA 94043 – USA) and WhatsApp.

COOKIES

Like many other websites, we use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a web server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data, such as your IP address, browser used, operating system, information about your computer and your connection to the internet.

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and ensure the correct display of our websites.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties, nor will it be linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly configured to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you deactivate the use of cookies.

YOUR RIGHTS TO INFORMATION, RECTIFICATION, BLOCKING, DELETION AND OBJECTION

You have the right to obtain information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to rectification, blocking or, apart from mandatory data storage for business processing, deletion of your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer for this purpose. The contact details can be found at the very end of this policy.

In order for the blocking of data to be taken into account at all times, this data must be retained in a blocking file for control purposes. You may also request deletion of the data, provided that no statutory archiving obligation exists. Where such an obligation exists, we will block your data upon request.

You can make changes or withdraw your consent with effect for the future by notifying us accordingly.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, for example when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
