When you access our website, we automatically collect access data transmitted by your browser and store it in so-called server log files. These are:
Browser type and browser version of your PC
Operating system used by your PC
Referrer URL (source/reference from which you reached our website)
Hostname of the accessing computer

The IP address currently used by your PC (possibly in anonymized form)
As a rule, it is not possible for us, nor is it our intention, to assign this data to a specific person. This data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to safeguard our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
§ 5 Cookies
We use so-called cookies to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files stored on your device. Cookies are not capable of executing programs or transmitting viruses to your computer system.
Necessary cookies that are required for electronic communication or for providing requested functions are stored in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest in storage serves the technically flawless and optimized provision of our services. Other cookies (e.g. for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
We mainly use so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted after your visit ends. In addition, we use cookies that remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself. These allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you are notified when cookies are to be set. You can then decide whether to allow cookies in individual cases, allow cookies for certain cases, or reject cookies generally. You can also configure your browser to automatically delete cookies when closing it. Please note that the functionality of this website may be limited if you disable cookies.
§ 6 Web Analytics Tools and Advertising
A. Google Analytics
We use the web analytics service Google Analytics on our website in the version Google Analytics 4. This service is provided by Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of our website. Within Google Analytics, all data from devices located in the EU (based on the geographical IP address) is first collected via domains and servers within the EU before the traffic is forwarded to the Analytics servers for further processing.
The processing of your data is based on your consent, which you have given in the cookie consent tool (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR).
a. IP Anonymization
IP anonymization for Google Analytics is automatically activated on our website. Your IP address is shortened within the EU or EEA before being transmitted to Google in the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted and shortened there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile activity reports, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. According to Google, IP addresses are not logged or stored in Google Analytics, but are only briefly processed for geolocation and then immediately deleted. Your IP address is not merged with other Google data.
b. Demographic Characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic characteristics” feature of Google Analytics to obtain information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. The data used for this is based on Google’s interest-based advertising as well as visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign this data to specific individuals. You can deactivate the use of this feature at any time via your Google ad settings and also generally object to the collection of your data by Google Analytics in accordance with the section “Objection to Data Collection”.
c. Google Signals
In addition to Google Analytics, our website also uses Google Signals. This service allows Google to create cross-device usage reports (“cross-device tracking”). If you have activated personalized ads in your Google account and linked your devices to your account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across different devices, provided that you have consented to the use of Google Analytics (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). We do not receive any personal data in this process, only statistics. You can deactivate personalized ads in your Google account and thereby prevent cross-device tracking by Google Signals. Further information can be found here: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en.
d. Data Processing Agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and strictly comply with the stringent requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
e. Storage Period
Data on the user and event level stored by Google and linked to cookies, user identifiers (such as the User ID), or advertising IDs (such as DoubleClick cookies or the Android advertising ID) is deleted after 14 months. Further details can be found at this link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en.
f. Right of Withdrawal
Many data processing procedures require your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. To do this, simply change your selection in the cookie settings. Such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out on the basis of your consent before withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by this withdrawal.
More detailed information on the processing of user data by Google Analytics is available in Google’s privacy policy at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en. For general data protection provisions, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de.
B. Google Tag Manager
Our website uses Google Tag Manager (provider: Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, “Google”). Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through a single interface. Google Tag Manager itself is a cookie-free domain and does not store any personal data. It only controls the activation of other tags, which may in turn collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. A deactivation made on the domain or cookie level applies to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
§ 7 Newsletter
We only send our newsletter to your email address at regular intervals with your prior consent. To use this service, the provision and verification of your email address is required. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. Your data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
The data provided during newsletter registration is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email or use of the unsubscribe link contained in the newsletter is sufficient. Data processing already carried out remains unaffected by your withdrawal.
When you unsubscribe from the subscription, the data stored for setting up the subscription will be deleted. If this data has already been stored by us elsewhere for other purposes, it will remain stored there.
§ 8 Contact Form
If you contact us by email or contact form, the data transmitted, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your inquiry and to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
The processing of the data transmitted in the contact form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent granted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may withdraw this consent at any time without stating reasons. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for withdrawal. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data transmitted via the contact form will be stored by us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
§ 9 Storage Period for Comments
We store both users’ comments and the associated data, including IP addresses. This data is stored until the comment is either removed by the user or there is a legal obligation to delete it.
§ 10 Use and Disclosure of Data
We assure you that personal data you provide to us, e.g. by email (such as your name, address, or email address), will not be sold to third parties or otherwise used commercially. Your data is processed exclusively for the purpose of corresponding with you and for fulfilling the purpose for which you provided the data to us. As part of payment processing, your payment data is forwarded to the commissioned credit institution.
The data automatically collected during your visit to our website is used exclusively for the purposes stated above. The data is not used for any other purpose.
The protection of your personal data is important to us. We therefore generally do not pass on your data to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or you have given us your express consent.
§ 11 Encryption (SSL/TLS)
Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security and protection of the transmission of confidential content. This applies in particular to inquiries that you send to us as the operator of the website. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the “https://” in your browser’s address bar and the lock symbol in your browser bar.
Activating SSL or TLS encryption ensures that the data you send to us cannot be read by unauthorized third parties.
§ 12 Storage Period
Your personal data that you transmit to us through our website will only be stored for as long as necessary to achieve the respective purpose of the data processing. In accordance with commercial and tax law retention obligations, however, certain data may be stored for up to 10 years.
§ 13 Your Data Protection Rights
A. Right of Withdrawal
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. The lawfulness of data processing carried out on the basis of your consent before the withdrawal remains unaffected. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes is not affected by a withdrawal.
B. Right of Access
In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we process your personal data. If this is the case, you are entitled to information about this data, including the purposes of processing, the categories of data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining it, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of the data if it was not collected from you, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and envisaged consequences for you of such processing, and your right to be informed about the safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in the event of transfer of your data to third countries.
C. Right to Rectification
You have the right at any time, in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, to request the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of your incomplete data.
D. Right to Erasure
You have the right, in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR, to request the erasure of your personal data if one of the following reasons applies:
a. Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
b. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
c. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
d. The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
e. We are obliged to erase the personal data due to a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject.
f. The personal data was collected in relation to the offer of information society services in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
Under the following circumstances, this right may be restricted if processing is necessary:
a. to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority;
b. to comply with a legal obligation requiring processing under Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
c. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
d. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the exercise of the rights of the data subject is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
e. for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If we have made your personal data public and are obliged to erase it in accordance with the above provisions, we shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.
E. Right to Restriction of Processing
In accordance with Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data. To exercise this right, you may contact us at any time. The contact details can be found in the legal notice. Restriction of processing may be requested in the following cases:
a. If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
b. If the processing of your personal data was / is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
c. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
d. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
After the restriction of processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent. Exceptions apply in certain legally defined cases, such as for the assertion of legal claims or the protection of public interests.
F. Right to Notification
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing of your personal data, we are obliged under Art. 19 GDPR to notify all recipients to whom the data has been disclosed. This does not apply if such notification proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Upon request, we will inform you about those recipients.
G. Protection Against Automated Decisions (Profiling)
In accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
This does not apply if the decision
a. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and us,
b. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests, or
c. is based on your explicit consent.
However, the decisions referred to in (a) to (c) may not be based on special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or lit. g applies and suitable measures to protect your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been taken.
In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests. This includes at least the right to obtain human intervention by the controller, to express your own point of view, and to contest the decision.
H. Right to Data Portability
In the event of processing of your personal data based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, and carried out by automated means, you have the right under Art. 20 GDPR to receive the data you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller, or to request that we transmit it to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.
I. Right to Object
If we process your personal data on the basis of a balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this privacy policy. In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. In the event of an objection, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
With regard to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
J. Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. The complaint may in particular be lodged in the Member State of the data subject’s habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint under this provision is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Our competent supervisory authority is:
