III. General information concerning data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal information

We basically only process the personal information of our users if this is required to provide a functional web site and our content and services. The personal information of our users is processed at regular intervals only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons, and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal information

If we obtain the consent of the affected person for the processing of personal information, Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

If personal information that is required to fulfil a contract to which the affected person is a party is processed, Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal information is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the vital interests of the affected person or another natural person require the processing of personal information, Article 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is required to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the affected person do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal information of the affected person will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data in order to conclude or fulfil a contract.

IV. Provision of the web site and the production of log files

1. Description and scope of the data processing

Whenever our web site is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

(1) Information about the type of browser and the version that was used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The user’s IP address
(4) Date and time of access
(5) Web sites from which the user’s system accesses our web site
(6) Web sites which are accessed by the user’s system from our web site

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal information belonging to the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is required to allow the web site to be delivered to the user's computer. In order to do this, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the web site. We also use the data to optimize the web site and ensure the security of our information technology systems. Evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR lies in these purposes.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for providing the web site, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

The log files are stored for 6 months. As soon as the log file reaches a size of 10 MB it is rotated, whereby IP addresses are anonymised so that assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. Objection and removal option

The collection of the data for providing the web site and storing the data in log files is essential for operating the web site. As a result, the user cannot object.

VI. Contact form and email contact

1. Description and scope of the data processing

A contact form is available on our web site that can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered on the input screen will be transmitted to us and stored.

This data is:

(1) Name
(2) First Name
(3) E-mail
(4) Post Code
(5) Country
(6) Sent message

At the point in time when the message is sent, the date and time of the message are also stored.

Your consent for the processing of the data is obtained as part of the sending process, and reference is made to this data protection declaration.

You can also contact us using the provided email address. In this case, the user's personal information that is transmitted with the e-mail will be stored and put onto our e-mail server. This data will be deleted from the server after one year.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will only be used to process the conversation.

2. Legal basis for data processing

If the user has given his / her consent, the legal basis for processing the data is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing of the data that is transmitted during the course of sending an email is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the purpose of the email contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

We only use the processing of the personal information from the input screen to process the contact. The necessary legitimate interest in processing the data also exists if you contact us by e-mail.

The other personal information processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal information from the contact form input screen and the data that was sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is regarded as ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified.

5. Objection and removal option

The user can revoke his/her consent to the processing of personal information at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal information at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

In this case, all personal information that was stored during the course of contacting us will be deleted.

VII. Plugins and embedded functions and content

We incorporate functional and content elements into our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may be, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the user, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content or function. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to analyze information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

• Processed data types: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times); meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses); inventory data (e.g. names, addresses); contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers); content data (e.g. entries in online forms); location data (information on the geographical position of a device or person).
• Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Provision of our online services and user-friendliness.
• Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).

 

We integrate the following services:

(1) Google Maps

We integrate the maps of the “Google Maps” service of the provider Google. The processed data may include, in particular, IP addresses and user location data; service provider: Google Cloud EMEA Limited, 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR); Website: https://mapsplatform.google.com/; Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

(2) Cookiebot

Our website uses the consent management technology from Cookiebot to obtain your consent for storing certain cookies on your device and for using certain technologies, in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as "Cookiebot").

When you access our website, a connection is established to Cookiebot's servers to retrieve your consents and other declarations regarding cookie use. Following this, Cookiebot stores a cookie in your browser to be able to associate your given consents or any subsequent revocations. The data collected in this way will be stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

The use of Cookiebot is necessary to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) lit. c of the GDPR.

(3) Matomo

With the help of Matomo we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors. This allows us to find out, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they come. We also collect various log files (e.g. anonymized IP address, referrer, browsers used and operating systems) and can measure whether our website visitors carry out certain actions (e.g. clicks, downloads, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit . B. Device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. Your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be assigned to you. We have configured Matomo so that Matomo does not store cookies in your browser and host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so that all analysis data remains with us and is not shared.

IX. Definitions of terms

This section provides you with an overview of the terms used in this data protection declaration. Many of the terms are of a legal nature, mainly defined in Art. 4 of the GDPR. The legal definitions are binding. The following explanations, on the other hand, are mainly intended for understanding. The terms are sorted alphabetically.

• Personal data: "Personal data" means any information which relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (henceforth referred to as "the affected person"); a natural person is regarded as identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, particularly by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier such as a cookie or one or more special features which are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
• Profiles containing user-related information: The processing of "profiles containing user-related information", or "profiles" for short, includes any type of automated processing of personal data which consists of using this personal data to analyse, evaluate or predict certain personal aspects relating to a natural person such as interest in certain content or products, clicking behaviour on a web site or whereabouts (depending on the type of profiling, different information concerning demographics, behaviour and interests such as interaction with websites and the content thereof etc.). Cookies and web beacons are often used for profiling purposes.
• Range measurement: The range measurement (also referred to as Web Analytics) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to online content, and can include behaviour or the visitor’s interest in certain information such as web site content. With the aid of the range analysis, web site owners can see the time when visitors visit their website and the content that they are interested in, for example. This allows them to adapt the content of the web site to the needs of their visitors in a better way, for example. Pseudonymous cookies and web beacons are often used for range analysis purposes in order to recognize returning visitors and therefore obtain a more accurate analysis of the use of online content.
• Location data: Location data is created when a mobile device (or another device which has the technical requirements for location determination) connects to a radio cell, a WLAN or similar technical go-betweens and location determination functions. Location data is used to indicate the geographically determinable position on the planet where the respective device is located. For example, location data can be used to display map functions or other location-dependent information.
• Tracking: “Tracking” is when user behaviour can be traced across several online offerings. Normally, behavioural and interest information regarding the online offerings that are used is stored in cookies or on the servers of the tracking technology providers (known as profiling). This information can then be used to show users advertisements that are likely to match their interests, for example.
• Person responsible: The "person responsible" is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data, either on their own or jointly together with others.
• Processing: "Processing" is any procedure or series of procedures carried out with or without the aid of automated processes in connection with personal data. The term is wide-ranging, and covers almost every kind of data handling, be it collection, evaluation, storage, transmission or deletion.
