• the date and time of the query,
• the amount of data transferred,
• the access status (content transferred, content not found),
• the description of the used web browser and operating system,
• the referral link, which indicates from which page you reached ours,
• the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened in such a way that a personal reference can no longer be established.

Storage of IP adresses for security purposes
In addition, we store the complete IP address transmitted by your web browser with strict purpose limitation for a period of seven days in the legitimate interest of being able to detect, limit and eliminate attacks on our websites.

Data security
In order to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access, we implement technical and organisational measures. These measures include encryption procedures on our websites. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.
Necessary cookies
We use cookies on our websites, which are necessary for using our websites.
Cookies are small text files that can be stored on and extracted from your device. There is a difference between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored for more than the duration of the session.
We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes.
In some cases, these cookies only contain information on certain settings and are not linked to a person. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and operating of the site.
The legal basis for using these cookies is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies. You can also delete cookies or prevent the setting of new cookies at any time by using the appropriate browser settings. Please note that if you delete certain cookies, our websites may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be available.
Consent banner
We use a consent management platform (consent or cookie banner) on our websites. The processing in connection with the use of the consent management platform and the logging of the settings you have made is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to provide you with our content according to your preferences and to be able to prove your consent(s). The settings you have made, the consents you have given and parts of your usage data are stored in a cookie. This ensures that it is kept for further website visits and that your consents continue to be traceable. You can find more information about this under the section "Necessary cookies".
The provider of the consent management platform acts on our behalf and is strictly bound by our instructions (processor). A data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded.
Google Analytics
We use the web analysis tool "Google Analytics" to design our websites in accordance with the needs of our visitors. Google Analytics creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your device and accessed by us. This allows us to recognise returning visitors and count them as such.
We are supported by Google Ireland Limited as a processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPRwhen using the Google Analytics service. The data processing by Google may also take place outside the EU or the EEA (especially in the USA). With regard to Google, an adequate level of data protection is ensured due to the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). Google is also obliged to conclude standard contractual clauses with further sub-processors.
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent if you have given your consent via our consent banner. You can withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, please follow this link and make the appropriate settings via our banner.
| Provider | Maximum storage period | Adequate level of data protection | Withdrawal of consent |
|---|---|---|---|

Contact form
You may contact us via our contact form. In order to use our contact form, we first require the data marked as mandatory.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in order to respond to your request. In addition, you can decide for yourself whether you would like to provide us with further information. This information is provided voluntarily and is not mandatory for contacting us. We process the information you provide voluntarily on the basis of your consent.
Your data will only be processed to respond to your enquiry. We delete your data if it is no longer required and there are no legal retention obligations in conflict to that. Usually this is the case XXdays after handling the request.

Captcha
To protect our web forms from automated requests, we use a so-called captcha from a third-party provider. Within the scope of the captcha function, you may be asked to solve tasks or click on checkboxes. The user input made in this context and possibly also the mouse movements are used to assess whether the input originates from a human or an automated program.
Since the function is provided by a third-party provider, the display of the captcha leads to content from the third-party provider being reloaded. The third-party provider is therefore able to obtain the information that you have accessed our site as well as the usage data that is technically required in this context. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider.
The embedding is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and in our interest of protection against spam and abuse.
If data is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA) in this context, we provide information about the level of data protection in the following table.
For transfers to the U.S., an adequate level of data protection is ensured due to the certification of the provider under the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework).
| Provider | Maximum storage period | Adequate level of data protection |
|---|---|---|
| Google (USA) | If you wish to object to data processing, please do not use our web forms, but contact us by another means. | If you wish to object to data processing, please do not use our web forms, but contact us by another means. |
