structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination,
or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data,
whether by automated means or not.
The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type,
scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction
with others. We also inform you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our website and improve the user
experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

II. The rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right
•
to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
•
to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
•
to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
•
to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
•
to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients. Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller's future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
III. Information about the data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply,
provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.
Server data For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to our server provider will be
collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the type and version of your browser,
operating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the webpages on our site visited, the date and time of your
visit, as well as the IP address from which you visited our site. The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not
in association with any other of your data. The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest
lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website. The data will be deleted within no more than
seven days, unless continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will be
excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

a) Session-CookiesWe use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address. This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to display our website in different languages. The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships. If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, place, time, or frequency of your visits to our website will be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP address within the EU or the EEA before it is transmitted to the US. The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do once there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and of the internet in general. Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further information with regard to its data protection practices at

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
in addition with further information. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein.
