Privacy Policy

General Information and Mandatory Disclosures

Designation of the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity determines, alone or in cooperation with others, the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Certain data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your previously given consent at any time. A simple informal notification via email is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to file a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. The responsible authority for data protection matters is the Data Protection Officer of the federal state where our company is headquartered.

You can find a list of Data Protection Officers and their contact details at the following link:
Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a machine-readable format. You may also request that we transfer this data directly to a third party, provided that this is technically feasible.

Right to Access, Correction, Restriction, and Deletion

Under applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free access to your stored personal data at any time, including information about its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing. You also have the right to request the correction, restriction, or deletion of your data.

For these requests or any other inquiries regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact details provided in the Imprint.

SSL and TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential data, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This ensures that any data you send to us as the website operator cannot be read by third parties.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” in the browser’s address bar and the lock icon in the browser window.

SERVER LOG FILES

Our website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser transmits to us. This includes:

  • Pages visited on our domain
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • IP address

 

These data are not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits data processing for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

Data submitted via the contact form, including your contact details, are stored to process your inquiry and address any follow-up questions. These data will not be shared without your consent.

The processing of data entered into the contact form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time by sending us an informal email. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Data submitted through the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent, or the data is no longer needed. Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. Cookies help us make our services more user-friendly, efficient, and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted after you close your browser. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them manually. These cookies allow us to recognize you when you return to our website.

Modern web browsers allow you to monitor, restrict, or disable cookies. Many browsers can also be configured to automatically delete cookies when closed. However, disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication processes or for providing certain features you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in storing these cookies to ensure the technical functionality and smooth operation of our services. Any other types of cookies (e.g., for analytics) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses cookies—small text files stored on your device—that allow an analysis of your website usage. The information generated by these cookies is transmitted to a Google server and stored, usually in the USA.

The use of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both our website and advertising strategies.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within EU member states or other contracting states of the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. In rare cases, Google may transmit the full IP address to a server in the USA and shorten it there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate website usage, generate reports on website activity, and provide other related services. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent Google Analytics from storing cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, some features of our website may be limited as a result.

You can also prevent the collection and processing of your website usage data (including your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the following browser plugin:
Google Analytics Opt-Out Plugin

Data Processing Agreement

To fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have signed a data processing agreement with Google.

Demographic Data in Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics’ “Demographics and Interests” feature. This allows us to create reports containing age, gender, and interest data of website visitors. These data come from Google’s interest-based advertising and third-party visitor data. The information cannot be linked to a specific person.

You can disable this feature at any time in your Google account ad settings or by following the instructions in the section “Opt-Out from Data Collection” above.

Google Web Fonts

Our website uses Google Web Fonts, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

By using these web fonts, we ensure that our website is displayed in the desired design, regardless of which fonts are locally available on your device. This is achieved by loading Google Web Fonts from a Google server in the USA, which involves the transmission of certain data to Google, including your IP address and the specific page you visited on our site.

The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in providing an optimal and visually consistent website experience.

Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards.
