We collect and process personal data if you provide it to us by filling an entry form on our website or by other means, e.g. by e-mail. In addition, we collect and process data arising from your use of our website. Our data will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz – TMG). Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. In the following we explain in detail how we collect which data on which legal basis. In addition, we will explain to you what rights you have and how long your data will be stored.
2. Processing of Data via Cookies and Logfiles
Information on the use of cookies on our website can be found in our cookie policy.
In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 f) GDPR, our website also uses so-called log files, in which access data are stored each time a page is accessed. The data record saved contains the following details:
- Your IP address, the date, the time, to which the file was accessed, the status, the request made by your browser to the server, the amount of data transmitted and the webpage from which you accessed the requested page (referrer) as well as
- The product and version information of the browser used, your operating system and your country of origin.
The log data are routinely deleted after 14 days. In other words, all data contained therein is irretrievably deleted. This temporary storage is only used to protect our websites against attacks and misuse. This is also our legitimate interest for the storage. We do not use the log data for any other purposes.
3. External links
Our website contains links to external websites. Social plugins such as the Facebook "Like" button are not used. The website protects your privacy by not directly integrating the external content into the website in these cases, but only by linking. Data can only be transmitted to the operator of the respective website when the link is activated. We are not responsible for the websites of other operators. In these cases, the data protection regulations of the other operator apply.
4. Third party providers
4.1 Cookie consent management
Our Website uses the cookie consent technology of the provider 2b Advice GmbH, Joseph-Schumpeter-Allee 25, 53227 Bonn, to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device and to document them in compliance with data protection regulations or to manage your cookie settings.
When you use our website, no connection is made to the provider's servers, as the system is hosted by us. We use the technology to obtain your consent and other declarations on the use of cookies. We then save a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign you the consent given or the revocation thereof. The data collected in this way will be stored until you change your settings, remove the cookie or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention requirements remain unaffected.
We use the technology to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6 para. 1 sent. 1 c) GDPR.
4.2. Google Analytics
This website uses the service Google Analytics of the third-party provider Google Ireland Limited a company organized and existing under Irish law (register number: 368047) having its seat at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
You can increase the protection of your privacy if you log out of any existing user accounts of the Google Group while you are using our website. This prevents your surfing behavior on our website from being directly assigned to your personal profile. If you use our website while logged in, Google will assign your user behavior to your profile.
Google Analytics is a service that enables us to analyze user behavior on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies for this.
If you have agreed to the setting of cookies, the information generated by these cookies about the use of this website (type and version of the browser you are using, which operating system you are using, the URL of the requested page, the date and time of your page view, the screen resolution that you use, as well as your IP address), to the best of our knowledge, are also transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
We would like to point out that we have added the code “anonymizeIp” to Google Analytics on this website. By using the code extension “anonymizeIp”, the last 8 bits of the IP addresses are deleted and thus anonymized (so-called IP masking). At our request, Google only records your IP address in abbreviated form, which ensures anonymization and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. However, due to the activation of the IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. According to information from Google, only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us as the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage, e.g. support us with the uniform and appealing presentation of our online-support offers.
Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
The processing of your personal data (IP address, cookies, device IDs) as described above and including any possible transfer of your personal data to the United States takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 a) GDPR), provided that you have given this via our cookie banner. You can revoke this consent at any time (with future effect and without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the time of revocation) by calling up our cookie banner again and changing your settings for the cookies under the "Settings" button. You can also assert the rights listed in section 10 of this data protection declaration.
In addition you can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly or you can prevent the collection and transfer of data generated through cookies in the course of the usage of our website (inclusive your IP address) to Google and the processing of such data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following Link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de (external link to Google).
