To be able to offer you our website and the services associated with it, we process personal data based on the following legal principles:
We will refer to the relevant terms in connection with the respective processing so that you can classify on which basis we process personal data.

When you visit our website, personal data is processed to be able to display the contents of the website on your terminal device.
For the pages to be displayed in your browser, the IP address of the terminal device you use must be processed. Additional information about the browser of your terminal device is also processed.
We are obliged by data protection law to also guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the personal data processed with our IT systems.
For this purpose and out of this interest, the following data is recorded based on a weighing of interests:
The IP address will be deleted after 7 days at the latest from all systems used in connection with the operation of this website. We can then no longer establish a personal reference from the remaining data.
The data is also used to determine and correct errors on the Internet pages.
We offer a contact form on our website which you can use to request information about our products or services or to contact us in general. We have marked the data that is absolutely necessary for you to answer an inquiry as mandatory fields. Any other data fields are voluntary.
We need this information to process your inquiry, to address you correctly and to send you an answer. Data processing is carried out for concrete inquiries for the fulfillment of a contract or the initiation of a contract. In the case of general inquiries, processing is based on a weighing of interests.
Inquiries received via the contact form on our website are processed electronically by us to answer your inquiry. In this context, other persons or departments and possibly third parties may also become aware of the contents of the form which you have sent.
The transmission of the form data via the Internet is carried out via encrypted connections.
You can also subscribe to an e-mail newsletter on our website. In addition to the voluntary information in the respective form, we only process your e-mail address for this purpose. However, this is also mandatory to send you the newsletter.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Alternatively, you will find a link to unsubscribe in every newsletter e-mail.
To be able to analyze the popularity of our newsletter mailings and to optimize them, we log when e-mails are opened and links are clicked. This usage analysis is based on a weighing of interests. You can object to this processing by unsubscribing from the newsletter.
When sending the newsletter, our service provider (“Chimpify”) may also use service providers outside the European Union. In this case, the service provider shall ensure that the conditions for an adequate level of data protection within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. DSGVO exist.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within this website and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this website and the Internet. The processed data can be used to create pseudonymous user profiles of the users.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data.

Data that you provide to us will not be passed on to third parties. In particular, your data will not be passed on to third parties for their advertising purposes.
However, we may use service providers for the operation of this website or further products or services from us. Here a service provider may get knowledge knowledge of personal data. We select our service providers carefully – especially concerning data protection and data security – and take all measures required by data protection law for permissible data processing.
Insofar as personal data is processed outside the European Union, you can see this in the previous explanations.
Data processing outside the EU takes place with regard to the sending of e-mail. Here our service provider “Chimpify” uses the provider “Sendgrid”. The necessary measures have been taken to ensure an adequate level of data protection. For this purpose, the so-called EU standard contract clauses are applied, which can be found on the Internet pages of the EU Commission.
We are not legally obliged to appoint a data protection officer.
You have the right of access to personal data concerning you. You can contact us for information at any time.
In the case of a request for information that is not made in writing, we ask for your understanding that we may require you to provide evidence that proves that you are the person you claim to be.
Furthermore, you have the right to correction or deletion or to restriction of processing, as far as you are legally entitled to do so.
Finally, you have the right to object to the processing within the scope of the statutory provisions. The same applies to a right to data transferability.
As a matter of principle, we delete personal data when there is no need for further storage. A requirement can exist in particular if the data is still needed to fulfill contractual services, to check and grant or avert warranty and, if applicable, guarantee claims. In the case of statutory storage obligations, deletion shall only be considered after the expiry of the respective storage obligation.
You have the right to complain about the processing of personal data by us to a data protection supervisory authority.
We will revise this privacy policy whenever there are changes to this website or other occasions that make this necessary. You will always find the current version on this website
