Contacting us by e-mail

a) When you contact us by email, we will store the data you provide and the resulting personal data (e.g. name, enquiry, email address, telephone number) for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass this data on to third parties without your consent.

Google Fonts

The website uses the ‘Google Fonts’ service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Various fonts are made available through the use of this service. When you visit the website, a connection to the Google server is established in order to load the so-called fonts. The IP address is transmitted to Google. The processing takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the voluntary consent. For cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google LLC has submitted to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google Fonts:

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the standardised display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. The fonts are stored locally by us so that no personal data is transmitted to Google. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Google Photos

We use ‘Google photos’ on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (‘Google’), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you call up the image galleries, your browser loads the necessary pages into your browser cache in order to display the images correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must establish a connection to Google’s servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. However, Google Photos will only be used with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. For the transfer of personal data to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/. Further information on Google Photo can be found at https://photos.google.com/?hl=de and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

Google Double Click

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. The setting of Google DoubleClick cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

DoubleClick uses cookies to display adverts that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same adverts more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which adverts are shown in which browser, thus preventing them from being shown more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case when a user sees a DoubleClick advert and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on the advert from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will receive and store your IP address.

For cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/.Mehr about the data processed through the use of Google Double Click, see the privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

Gravatar

We use the Gravatar plugin from Automattic Inc (60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA) on our website within our online offering.

Gravatar is a service where users can register and store profile pictures and their email addresses. If users leave posts or comments on other online presences (especially in blogs) with the email address registered there, their profile pictures can be displayed next to the posts or comments. For this purpose, the e-mail address provided by users is transmitted in encrypted form to Gravatar’s servers for the purpose of checking whether a profile is stored for it. If a profile exists, the image stored there (Gravatar) is displayed together with the published comment. If you have registered an email address with Gravatar and comment on our website, further data will be transmitted to Gravatar, stored and processed. This involves the following data

– IP address

– browser type

– unique device identifier

– Preferred language

– Data and time of page entry

– operating system

– Information about the mobile network

Gravatar uses this information to improve its own services and offers and to gain better insights into the use of its own service. This data is stored on Automattic’s American servers.

The data collected is deleted by Automattic when it is no longer used for its own services and the company is not legally obliged to retain the data. After 30 days, web server logs such as IP address, browser type and operating system are deleted. You have the right to access and delete your personal data at any time. If you have registered with an e-mail address, you can delete your account at any time. If users do not want a user picture linked to their email address at Gravatar to appear in the comments, they should use an email address that is not stored at Gravatar to comment. We would also like to point out that it is also possible to use an anonymous e-mail address or no e-mail address at all if users do not wish their own e-mail address to be sent to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transfer of data by not using the comment system. You can manage, deactivate or delete any cookies that are set during the commenting process in your browser. Please note that the comment functions will no longer be fully available.

For the data that Automattic collects for statistical purposes and evaluation of user behaviour in order to improve the offer, the legal basis is consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email.

In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f, GDPR) for the purpose of fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners.

Gravatar has certified itself in accordance with the data protection privacy framework and processes data in the USA, among other places.

Data security

The personal data collected and stored by us is treated confidentially and protected against loss, alteration and unauthorised access by third parties by means of suitable technical and organisational precautions. Your personal data is transmitted over the Internet in encrypted form. We use SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) for data transmission.

External hosting

This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Our hoster will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its service obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data.

We use the following hoster:

Social media data protection notice

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks such as Facebook etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail:

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 with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end 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 displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations 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. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

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

Controller and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).

Please note that, despite the joint 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 company policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
