2. Name and address of the Data Protection Officer

3. General information on data processing
3.1. Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception is made in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
3.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for processing operations involving personal data for which we obtain the consent of the data subject is Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DSGVO.
The legal basis for processing operations of personal data which are necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures to which the data subject is a party is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DPA.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
Insofar as the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if we are required to do so for legal reasons or if it is necessary to store the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
4. Provision of the website and creation of log files
4.1. Description and scope of data processing
Whenever our website is called up, our system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
- Information about the browser type and version used
- The user’s operating system
- The Internet service provider of the user
- The IP address of the user
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
- Websites that are called up by the user’s system via our website
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. The IP address is made completely anonymous and this data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
4.2. Purpose of the data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
4.3. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended.
In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after 190 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an allocation of the calling client is no longer possible.
5. Verwendung von Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user’s computer system. If a user calls up a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit us.
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and are transmitted by the user to our site. Therefore you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Already stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. However, if cookies for our website are deactivated, it may not be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.
6. Web analysis by Matomo
We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user’s computer (for cookies see above). If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data are stored:
- Two bytes of the IP address of the calling system of the user
- The accessed website
- The website from which the user has reached the accessed website (referrer)
- The subpages that are called from the called web page
- The time spent on the website
- The frequency of visiting the website
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users only takes place there. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
The software is set up in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.
The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information on the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.
In our case this is the case after 3 years.
We offer our users the possibility of an opt-out from the analysis procedure. In this way, another cookie is set on your system, which signals our system not to store the user’s data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie from his own system in the meantime, he must set the opt-out cookie again.

7. Contact form and e-mail contact
On our website there is a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us via a secure SSL/TLS encryption and stored. These data are:
- Name
- E-Mail addresse
- Your message
At the time the message is sent, the IP address of the sender is also saved.
For the processing of the data we obtain your consent separately during the sending process and refer to this privacy policy. The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact.
It is also possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. Your data will be used by us exclusively for processing the conversation.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
