We use cookies and other technologies in some areas of our website in order to, for example, identify visitor preferences and be able to optimally design the website accordingly. This facilitates navigation and allows for a high degree of user-friendliness. Cookies and other technologies help us to identify particularly popular areas of our Internet offering.

Cookies are small text files saved onto the hard drive of your terminal device. They allow information to be stored over a certain period and your terminal device to be identified. We use permanent cookies to improve user guidance and customise the presentation of our services. Furthermore, we use so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. You can set your browser to inform you of the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. Important: If you fully exclude the use of cookies, you may possibly not be able to use individual features of our website.

Depending upon the purpose of the cookies and the other technologies, we distinguish between necessary, statistical and marketing cookies.

The necessary cookies and other technologies are essential for ensuring key features of the website as well as performance of a contract in relation to customers and cooperation partners. The legal basis for their use is Section 25 (2) no. 2 of the

Act on the Regulation of Data Protection and Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia (Gesetz über den Datenschutz und den Schutz der Privatsphäre in der Telekommunikation und bei Telemedien (TTDSG)) in conjunction with. Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 letter b) (initiation or performance of a contract), and letter f) General Data Protection Regulation (overriding legitimate interests). The last-mentioned interests include, in particular, monitoring of the website’s technical performance. Therefore, you as a website user cannot disable them via our consent management system.

All cookies and other technologies are described in detail in the so-called cookie banner under “Services”. You can view these in the “Privacy settings” in the footer of the website at any time or by clicking directly here.

Statistical cookies and other technologies are needed in order to understand how our visitors use our portal, to identify errors and to continuously improve the portal. The legal basis for their use is Section 25 (1) TTDSG (consent for the setting or reading of cookies) in conjunction with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter a) GDPR (consent for the data processing based on this). The data processing only begins when you have given the corresponding opt-in (consent). You can withdraw your consent to the data processing at any time with effect for the future.

5.3. Optimisation of the Internet offering

We constantly improve our websites in order to offer you an optimum experience. To this end, the data provided concerning your visit are processed by our service providers in the context of commissioned processing. Neither we nor the service providers commissioned will combine your visit data with your name or other personal details that you have given to us. The IP number is anonymised before it is

used to generate statistics. It is in our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR) to optimise our Internet offering. For this purpose, service providers are used in the context of commissioned processing, cookies are set and visit data are transferred to a server of a service provider (here Google) in the USA.

 

6. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING, INCLUDING PROFILING

The above data processing activities do not involve any so-called automated decision-making or profiling as set out in Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR.

 

7. TIME LIMITS FOR ERASURE (OR DURATION OF STORAGE)

As a rule, we shall store your data only for as long as we need your data for the purposes of the respective processing. If your data are no longer essential for the fulfilment of the processing purposes specified in this privacy notice, they will be erased unless their retention is still necessary for the fulfilment of retention duties under commercial or fiscal law. Ordinarily, we shall erase your data after these time limits or specify the time limit for erasure on the basis of these criteria:

  • We erase the data for the processing of enquiries 1 year after completion of the process.
  • The data used to optimise our Internet offering are erased after 26 months.

8. ORIGIN OF THE DATA

No data are collected from third parties.

Commissioned processors are subject to numerous contractual obligations and are, in particular, only permitted to process your personal data on our instruction and solely for the fulfilment of the orders received from us.

10. DATA PROCESSING OUTSIDE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

For processing your data, we shall also use service providers located in third countries outside of the European Union. Countries outside of the European Union handle the protection of personal data differently to countries within the European Union. There is currently no resolution of the EU Commission according to which these third countries generally offer an appropriate level of protection. Therefore, we have taken particular measures to ensure that your data are processed in the third countries just as securely as within the European Union. Where we use third-country service providers, we conclude with these the data protection agreement (standard data protection clauses) provided by the European Union Commission for the processing of personal data in third countries. This agreement provides for suitable safeguards to protect your data with service providers in the third country. You can request a copy of these suitable safeguards using the contact details provided above.

  • to restriction of the processing (Article 18 GDPR)
  • to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
