Data security and security measures

We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal information confidential.

We link to websites of other providers or have integrated elements from you into ours. This data protection information does not apply to this – we have no influence on these sites and cannot control whether others comply with the applicable data protection regulations.

SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Use of service providers
Service providers in countries such as the United States or other countries outside the EU or the countries of the European Economic Area are subject to data protection laws that generally do not protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in member states of the European Union.

Note on data transfer to the USA
Our website includes, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal information may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Shortening of the IP address
If it is possible for us or if it is not necessary to store the IP address, we will shorten your IP address or have it shortened. In the case of shortening the IP address, also known as “IP masking”, the last octet, i.e. the last two numbers of an IP address, is deleted (the IP address in this context is an Internet connection through the online -Access provider individually assigned identifier). Shortening the IP address is intended to prevent or make it significantly more difficult to identify a person based on their IP address. If so, then rephrase the text!

In the case of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

Legal basis for data processing

The GDPR adheres to the principle of a ban subject to permission for the processing of personal data. To be lawful, any data processing must therefore be based on a specific legal basis. The most important legal bases are standardized in Article 6 Para. 1 GDPR. Thereafter, data processing can either be legitimized by the consent of the person concerned or based on a legal authorization ground:

a. Consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).
The data subject has given their consent voluntarily, informedly, for specific processing and a specific purpose (e.g. email, newsletter).

b. Contractual relationship (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR).
Data processing is lawful to the extent that it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures (e.g. rental agreement).

c. Other statutory processing authorizations (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c+d) GDPR).
In particular, data processing continues to be permitted to the extent that it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the person responsible is subject in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (e.g. Corona contact list).

d. Legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).
Data processing is permitted if it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the person responsible or a third party and provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh them (e.g. forms, newsletters, emails, log files).

4. Social media appearances

Social networks – data collection in general

We maintain publicly accessible social media profiles. You can find the social networks we use in detail below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can usually comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. share buttons or advertising banners). To limit this, we use the “Shariff Wrapper” solution when implementing it on our website. As a result, the share buttons are only integrated on the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. Unless you click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons.

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account on the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be shown to you inside and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the relevant social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot understand all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases that must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Responsible person and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. In principle, you can exercise your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint). us as well as against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that despite our shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

The data we collect directly via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Saved cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
