Collection and Processing of Personal Data

In principle, you can use our online offering without disclosing your identity. If we query personal data on the web presence, e.g. as part of contact forms or when you log in or register (such as name, address or e-mail address), this is principally done on a voluntary basis.

By sending this information to us, you agree that it may be used for own business purposes (dispatch of the requested mate-rials/information, processing for advertising and market research purposes), unless you objected to this option. You may withdraw with us your consent once given us at any time with effect for the future.

The legal basis for these processing operations is your consent based on point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. You may withdraw with us your consent voluntarily given us at any time with effect for the future. As long as you do not withdraw your consent, we process your data for these purposes.

Forwarding of the Data

Any forwarding to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes will explicitly not take place without your express consent. To operate the website, we deploy a processor who, however, was obligated by contract in compliance with data protection law and must not use the data for own purposes.

Cookies

This website uses “cookies”. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and allow for an analysis of how you use the web presence and that automatically recognise you upon your next visit. You can prevent the installation of the cookies by setting your browser accordingly. As the case may be, this may result in you not being able to use all offerings in full.

Logging

Logs are created and processed for statistical purposes upon any access to the web presence, with the individual user re-maining anonymous:

• referrer (website with the link you used to get on this web presence)
• search terms (for search engines as referrer)
• IP evaluated to determine the country of origin and provider
• browser, operating system, installed plug-ins and screen resolution
• time spent on the websites

This data is processed by us based on our legitimate interest under point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR for the following purposes:

• to ensure smooth establishment of a connection to the web presence,
• to ensure convenient use of our web presence,
• to evaluate system security and stability and
• for other administrative purposes.

We reserve the right to verify this data afterwards if we become aware of concrete indications for any unlawful use. The data is erased without delay once it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose.

Liability for Own Contents

The contents of these websites were prepared with utmost care. We may, however, not accept any warranty for the accuracy, integrity and topicality of the contents. As a service provider, we are responsible for own contents on these websites under the general laws.

Liability for Links (Contents of Third-Party Providers)

Cross-references (“links”) to the contents kept available by other providers are to be distinguished from these own contents. Since we do not have any influence on their content, the respective provider or operator of the websites is always responsible for the contents of the linked websites.

Data Subject Rights

We herewith inform you that you have the right towards us to access the relevant personal data, the right to request rectifica-tion or erasure or restriction of processing or to object to the processing as well as the right to data portability in accordance with Articles 15 et seqq. GDPR under the prerequisites defined there. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a su-pervisory authority in accordance with Article 77 GDPR if you take the view that the processing of the personal data concern-ing you violates this Regulation. Where processing is based on point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Arti-cle 9(2) GDPR (consent), you further have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of pro-cessing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Amendments to our Data Protection Provisions

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time to ensure its consistent compliance with the current legal requirements or to implement changes in our services in the privacy policy, e.g. by launching new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

Google Maps

To simplify your journey to us, we offer you to use Google Maps to illustrate maps and to create route maps. Google Maps is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. These websites are identified to you accordingly.

By using this service, you agree to the collection, processing and use of both the data collected in the process and the data entered by you by Google. The Terms of Service for Google Maps are available at https://www.google.com/intl/en_gb/help/terms_maps/ [external website].

Web Analysis with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cook-ies”, i.e. text files which are stored on your computer and allow for an analysis of the use of the website by you. The infor-mation generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) is transferred to a serv-er of Google in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to analyse how you use the website, to compile reports about the website activities for the website operators and to render further services associated with the use of the website and of the Internet. If legally required, or where third parties process such data on behalf of Google, Google will also transmit this information to third parties. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data stored by Google in any case.

You may object to the use of your data by Google Analytics by installing an ‘add-on’ in your browser. To that end, you may follow the link below to the website of Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB [external website].

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads makes it possible to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters or has entered certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As a website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and which and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Ads Remarketing

The website operator uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign people who use or interact with our online offer to specific target groups in order to subsequently show them interest-based advertising in the Google advertising network (remarketing or retargeting).

In addition, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. PC) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. cell phone or tablet).

Google Conversion-Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With the help of Google conversion tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions and how the customer has used our website. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to compile statistics. We find out the total number of users who have clicked on our ads and what actions they have taken. This does not provide us with any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification purposes.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
