Data Policy

COLLECTION OF GENERAL INFORMATION

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. These are exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the content of websites requested by you and is inevitably generated when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us to optimize our online presence and the underlying technology.

PROVISION OF PAID SERVICES

To provide paid services, we ask for additional data, such as payment information.

CONTACT FORM

If you contact us by email or via the contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request as well as for possible follow-up questions.

DELETION OR BLOCKING OF DATA

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data avoidance. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required by the various retention periods stipulated by law. After the respective purpose ceases to apply or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

USE OF SCRIPT LIBRARIES (GOOGLE WEBFONTS)

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading processes. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or restricts access, the content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible — though currently unclear whether and for what purposes — that operators of such libraries may collect data.

You can find the privacy policy of the library operator Google here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

YOUR RIGHTS TO INFORMATION, RECTIFICATION, BLOCKING, DELETION, AND OBJECTION

You have the right to receive information about the personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to rectification, blocking, or — apart from mandatory data storage for business purposes — deletion of your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer for this. The contact details can be found at the bottom of this document.

To ensure that a data block can be considered at all times, the data must be kept in a block file for control purposes. You can also request the deletion of the data, provided that there is no legal obligation to archive it. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data upon request.

You can make changes or revoke consent by notifying us accordingly with effect for the future.

CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to occasionally adjust this privacy policy so that it always meets current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

QUESTIONS TO THE DATA PROTECTION OFFICER
