Data Privacy Statement

Data Protection

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

Our website can usually be used without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

 

Cookies

Our website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

 

External services (YouTube, Google Maps etc.)

Third-party services are also integrated or linked on our website and provided by these third parties on their own responsibility. These external services are linked from our website in such a way that no data is transferred to the external services when you use our website. A connection to the respective external service is only established when the link is actually clicked.

Please note that the use of your data beyond our processing is the responsibility of these companies and that it takes place without our involvement. The data protection declarations of the respective operators listed below apply to the services linked directly on the website.

 

Google Web Fonts (local embedding)

Our website uses Web Fonts provided by Google. These Google fonts are locally installed so that a connection to Google’s servers will not be established and no information will be transmitted to Google.

 

AWStats (Web Statistics)

In order to be able to evaluate our website statistically, we use the program AWStats. The program is free web analysis software. It is used to evaluate log files that web servers create on the basis of visitor inquiries. The program does not use cookie files for the evaluation.The statistical analysis takes place via the log files, which contain the following information:

  •  the page from which our website was accessed ("referrer"),
  • the content accessed,
  • the date and time of the query,
  • the amount of data transferred,
  • the access status (file transferred, file not found etc.)
  • a description of the type of web browser used,
  • the IP address

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that enable an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data.The data is also stored in the log files of our system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR.The storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data 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.Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR also lies in these purposes.The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This takes place after 30 days at the latest. The collection of the data for the provision of the website is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

In contrast to other statistical programs, no data is transmitted to an external server with AWStats. The program is installed on its own server. This also avoids the transmission of data to third parties.

 

Forms

On our website we use the "Powermail" function of TYPO3 to provide forms for easy contact / data collection for our visitors. The data entered voluntarily in these forms are usually processed by the responsible persons by email. The data will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances without express prior consent. The form data is also temporarily stored in the database of our content management system in the event of a malfunction of the mail system and for any collected download that may be necessary and then deleted.

If you want the data entered to be deleted immediately, please send an email directly to the address given on our contact page.

 

Information, deletion, blocking

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data at any time. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
