Privacy

1. Controller

2. Website access and server logs

When this website is accessed, technically necessary connection data is processed. This may include the IP address, time of access, requested file or page, transferred data volume, browser and operating-system information and the referring page.

The processing is necessary to provide the website, maintain stability and security and analyse technical errors. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the secure and reliable operation of the website.

Server log data is retained only for as long as necessary for operation, security and error analysis. Longer retention takes place only where a specific security incident or legal obligation requires it.

Hosting providers may be used as processors for the technical provision of the website.

3. Consent and Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 only if you explicitly accept analytics in the consent banner. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Before you consent, the Google tag is not loaded and no Analytics data is sent to Google. If you choose “Necessary only”, Google Analytics remains disabled.

After consent, Google Analytics may collect page views, scrolls, clicks on external links, file downloads, on-site searches, form interactions and, where present, interactions with embedded videos. We use measurement ID G-QR4R467FJL.

The purpose is to understand the reach and use of the website and to improve it. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where information is stored on or read from your device, this also takes place only with your consent.

Google states that individual IP addresses of users in the EU, Switzerland or the United Kingdom are not logged or stored in Google Analytics. IP-address data is used there only to derive coarse location information and is then discarded.

We store your choice locally in your browser so that we do not ask you on every page view. You can change your choice at any time via “Privacy settings” in the footer. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

Further information is available in Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Fonts and third-party content

The webfonts used on this website are served locally by the Eprify website. Loading the fonts therefore does not establish a connection to Google Fonts, IBM or another external font service.

The website currently does not embed social-media feeds, videos or comparable third-party content that transfers data to such providers merely by loading the page.

5. Contacting us

If you contact us by email, we process the information you provide, in particular your contact details and the content of your message, to handle your request.

If the request concerns the initiation or performance of a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Otherwise the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is handling enquiries and business communication.

We delete the data when the request has been fully handled and no statutory retention obligation or other legitimate reason for continued storage applies.

6. Recipients and transfers

Personal data is available only to the persons and service providers who need it for the relevant purpose, including technical providers where necessary for website operation or communication.

If you consent to Google Analytics, usage data is transferred to Google Ireland Limited and processed by Google as part of the service. Processing by Google companies outside the European Economic Area cannot be ruled out. Details of Google's data processing and safeguards are available in Google's privacy information.

7. Your rights

Subject to the statutory requirements, you have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing and data portability. You may also object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Any consent given can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

8. Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data-protection supervisory authority.

9. Automated decision-making

This website currently does not use solely automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR or profiling for marketing purposes.

10. Changes to this privacy notice

We update this privacy notice when the website, the services used or the legal framework changes. The version published on this page is the applicable version.
