Privacy policy

Thank you very much for your interest in our website and the information provided there. Since we take the protection of the privacy of both the users of our homepage and our customers very seriously and observe the legal provisions for the protection of personal data, such as those contained in the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act, we inform you in the following how we handle your data:

Data collection and data processing

Insofar as accesses to our website and retrievals of the files stored there take place, these are logged for statistical purposes and to improve our online offering. The data on accesses and retrievals do not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person. We store the data in so-called server log files. The logged and stored data are: Name of the retrieved file, date and time of the retrieval, amount of transmitted data, message about the success of the access or retrieval, IP address of the requesting device.

We collect personal data ourselves only if the site user discloses such data to us on a voluntary basis, for example in the form of inquiries (for example, by electronic mail or by using a contact form on our homepage) or in the context of legal business agreements with us.

Person responsible within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation

The responsible party within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation is the operator of the website currently accessed by you. Our contact details can be found in the provider identification (imprint) of the homepage you visit.

Encryption of the transfer of electronic data using Transport Layer Security (TLS)

In order to ensure that your personal data cannot be read, changed, duplicated or deleted by unauthorized third parties during their electronic transmission between you and us, we use connections that are encrypted by the network protocol “Transport Layer Security” (TLS for short), for example, to receive your inquiries and to process orders by e-mail or via input forms, if such forms are currently available on our homepage.

Such an encrypted connection is switched on if the address line of your Internet browser contains

“https://”

appears. Otherwise, “http://” is displayed there, which means that without a TLS-coded connection, an “s” is missing in the browser protocol information.

Data collection and data processing

1. creation of log files when you visit our website

As far as accesses to our website and retrievals of the files stored there take place, data is automatically logged. We store this data in so-called server log files.

The logged and stored data are specifically:

Name of the retrieved file,

Date and time of the retrieval,

Amount of data transferred,

Message about the success of the access or retrieval,

IP address of the requesting device,

browser type,

operating system used by the visitor.

A combination of these data with other personal data of the visitor of our homepage is always excluded, which is why the designated information does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your person.

Purpose of processing

The storage of your IP address is necessary because without it no transfer of the contents of our website to your computer can take place. Your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session – i.e. the standing connection between the Internet browser used by you when calling up or accessing the website (so-called “client-side application”) on the one hand and the server used by us for operating the homepage on the other. The purpose of storing your data in server log files is, on the one hand, to ensure the functionality of our homepage and, on the other hand, to optimize the website you visit. Furthermore, this data helps us to maintain the security of the information technology systems used here.

Legal basis for processing the data:

The relevant legal basis for the storage of the data and also the server log files is, taking into account the described processing purpose for the period up to and including 24.05.2018 § 15 I TMG valid, starting from 25.05.2018 then Art. 6 I letter f DS-GVO (the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party).

Storage period

We delete the automatically stored access and retrieval data at the point in time when they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case, as far as the provision of our homepage is concerned, when the respective session – i.e. the standing connection between the Internet browser used by you when calling up or accessing the website (so-called “client-side application”) on the one hand and the server used by us for the operation of the homepage on the other hand – has ended. The stored IP address and the server log file are deleted at the latest 7 days after the time of storage, so that no allocation of the remaining data (name of the retrieved file, date and time of the retrieval, amount of transmitted data, message about the success of the access or retrieval, browser type, operating system used by the visitor) to the requesting device and its IP address can take place.

Objection option

The data collected for the provision of our homepage and its storage in server log files are indispensable and absolutely necessary for the operation of the web presence here. Therefore, you have no right of objection in this regard.

2. processing of personal data in the case of inquiries about our range of services or products

This data will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances and will be used solely for processing the correspondence with the questioner initiated by the inquiry.

Objection option

The questioner is entitled to object to the storage of his/her personal data. However, it will then no longer be possible to respond to his inquiry.

Should you wish to declare such an objection, we would ask you in advance to at least use the text form and to send the objection to one of the contact options given in the imprint of our homepage (postal address, e-mail, fax).

(consent by the data subject to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes).

Obtaining your consent

When you access our homepage, you will be informed about the use of “Google Web Fonts”. On the one hand, we ask for your consent to the data processing associated with this, and on the other hand, we draw your attention to this privacy policy.

Right of withdrawal

You are entitled to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data.

If you wish to revoke your consent, we thank you in advance for using at least the text form and to send the revocation to one of the contact options indicated in the imprint of our homepage (postal address, e-mail, fax).

After receipt of the revocation, the personal data will be deleted immediately, unless there is another legal basis for the processing of this data. The legality of the data processing that took place on the basis of the consent prior to your revocation will not be affected by the declaration of revocation.

Prevention of data transfer to Google Ireland Limited

By changing the settings of your Internet browser, you may be able – depending on which browser you use – to prevent websites from being loaded with “Google Web Fonts” when you call up and thus establish a connection between your Internet browser and servers of Google Ireland Limited.

If you use the browser “Firefox”, for example, this can be done by disabling the options “Allow websites to use their own fonts” and “CSS Font Loading API” in the settings there.

Furthermore, third parties offer so-called “plug-ins” free of charge on the Internet, the activation of which prevents the downloading of “Google Web Fonts” and thus a data transfer between your Internet browser and servers of Google Ireland Limited.

If you use one of these options or if your Internet browser does not support “Google Web Fonts” from the outset, the texts on our homepage will be rendered in a standard font installed on your computer when you visit the site.
