PERSONAL DATA

Personal data is information about you. This includes your name, address and email address. You do not have to disclose any personal data to visit our website. In some cases we need your name and address as well as other information to be able to offer you the requested service.

The same applies in the case that we supply you with information on request or when we answer your inquiries. In these cases we will always point this out to you. In addition, we only store the data that you have transmitted to us automatically or voluntarily.
When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data that is necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask you for additional information, but this is voluntary. Whenever we process personal data, we do so in order to provide you with our service or to pursue our commercial objectives.

Server Log File

When you visit this website, the browser used on your terminal device sends information to our website server automatically. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called “log file”. Following information is collected without any action by you and is stored until its automatic deletion:

• the IP address of the inquiring PC
• the access date and time
• the name and the URL of the recalled file
• the address of the loading page (referrer URL)
• the browser in use and (if necessary) your PC operating system, as well as the name of your access provider.
• access status (e.g., file transmitted, file not found, etc.)
• transferred amount of data. 

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

• ensuring an optimal connection to the website
• ensuring a comfortable usage of our website
• analysing the system’s safety and stability, and
• other administrative purposes.

Legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Par. 1-1-f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the aforementioned purposes of data collection. In no case we will use the collected data for tracing back to your person.

Cookies

On our website we use cookies. Cookies are small files automatically generated by your browser upon request of our website and stored on your terminal device (laptop, tablet, smart phone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies cannot harm your terminal device and contain no virus, Trojan horse or other malware.

The information stored in cookies depends specifically on the device in use. However, this does not mean that we get to know your identity directly.

By using cookies, we can make our service more user friendly. Therefore, we use the so-called “session cookies”. This helps us recognizing that you have already visited individual pages of our website. Once you have closed our pages, these cookies are deleted automatically.

In order to optimize our website ergonomics, we also use temporary cookies that are stored on your terminal device for a specific period of time. When you return to our website to use our services, you will be automatically recognized as a former user together with your inputs and settings, so that you do not need to reconfigure them.

We use cookies for tracking our website usage for statistical purposes and for evaluating our service optimization, too. When you return to our website, these cookies help us recognizing automatically that you have already been our user and are automatically deleted after a specific period of time.

The data obtained through cookies are necessary for the afore mentioned purposes in order to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties according to Art. 6 Par. 1-1-f) of the GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. If you do not want cookies to be stored on your PC or you want a notice to be shown before a new cookie is created, you can disable this in the system settings of your browser. However, completely disabling cookies can restrict some functionalities of our website.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; in the following referred to as “Google”), for making our websites more user friendly and optimizing them constantly. In this process, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used. Pieces of information on your usage of this website created by cookies, e.g. 

• the browser kind/version
• the used operating system
• the referrer URL (the page that has been visited previously)
• the host name of the accessing PC (IP address)
• and the server request time

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored on it. Information is used to evaluate the website usage, compile reports about website activities and develop other services associated with website and Internet usage with the purpose of carrying out market researches and structuring these websites according to users’ needs. This information may also be transmitted to third parties if it is prescribed by law or these third parties are entrusted with the processing of this data specifically. In no case Google will associate your IP address with other data. IP addresses are anonymized in order to avoid any possible association.

If you do not want cookies to be installed, you can set up your browser software accordingly. However, please note that this may restrict some functionalities of this website.

You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data on your usage of this website that has been generated through cookies (e.g., your IP address). In this case, you need to download and install a specific browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
