Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more particular characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

(b) Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

(f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures which ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

(g) Responsible person or person responsible for processing

The person responsible or responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body which, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

However, public authorities that may receive personal data as part of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

(j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

Cookies

These websites use cookies. Cookies are text information that the Internet browser stores at the request of a website. Cookies, for example, can store a unique ID, i.e. an alphanumeric string of characters that enables the browser (and thus indirectly the visitor) to be uniquely recognized during subsequent page visits. For example, settings can be saved or statistical data collected.

​

You can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by setting the appropriate Internet browser settings and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time in your Internet browser settings. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. In this case, however, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

​

Collection of general data and information

This website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and Information that serves to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

​

When using these general data and information, this website does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimize the content of our website and advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This website therefore analyses this anonymously collected data and information statistically on the one hand and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

​

Subscription to our newsletter

On this website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to a newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose shows which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration and the date and time of login are stored. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject's email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the person responsible for processing.

​

The personal data collected as part of a subscription to the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary to operate the newsletter service or to register in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. There is no transfer of personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for sending the newsletter can be withdrawn at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. As a result, a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns can be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, this website can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.

​

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the person responsible for processing in order to optimize newsletter delivery and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be shared with third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the relevant separate declaration of consent submitted via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for processing. This website automatically interprets a cancellation from receiving the newsletter as a revocation

Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, this website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data provided voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

​

Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

​

Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the person responsible or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business for the benefit of all our employees.

​

Duration for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. At the end of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.

​

Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner).
In order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.

​

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
