An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. Data in log files is deleted after seven days at the latest. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Use of Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. The information stored in a cookie may include, for example, the language settings on a website or the consent to the use of cookies.

To better understand what types of cookies there are, the following distinction serves:

Types of Cookies

  • Temporary cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include in particular session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
  • Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. They are automatically deleted after a predetermined period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.
  • First-party cookies: These are set by us.
  • Third-party cookies: These are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also essential) cookies are those that are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website.
  • Statistics and marketing cookies: These are cookies that are used for the purposes of online marketing (in particular marketing of advertising space, targeted advertising) and analysis of user behavior for the purpose of optimizing the online offer. Such cookies are also used for profiling, which serves to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. If we use cookies or tracking technologies, we will inform you separately in the privacy policy or as part of obtaining consent.

You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. We point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website.

Description and scope of data processing

Through the cookies, usage data (including access times, websites visited, viewed content) and meta/communication data (information about your devices, IP addresses) are stored.

Legal basis for data processing

If we ask you to consent to the processing of your personal data using cookies and you consent, the legal basis for the data processing is your consent (§ 25 (1) TTDSG, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Otherwise, the legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Storage duration

As part of obtaining consent (so-called cookie consent), we point out the storage duration of the respective permanent cookie. Otherwise, the storage duration can be up to two years and temporary ("session") cookies are deleted when the browser is closed.

Objection and revocation of consent

If the processing of your personal data by cookies is based on a legal permission, you can object to the processing at any time. You can initially express your objection by setting your browser (for example by disabling the use of cookies). Please note that certain functions of our website (e.g. the preset language) may then no longer function. We will inform you about further objection options in the context of the information about the service providers and cookies used.

If the processing of personal data by cookies is based on your consent, you can revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, we use a tool for managing cookie consent. In this tool you will receive information about the cookies we use (processing and provider), can give and/or revoke your consent. The declaration of consent is stored by a cookie. This is done so that the query about the use of cookies does not have to be repeated and we can also prove the consent in accordance with our legal obligation. The settings you have made in the cookie tool are stored in the cookie.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you are incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction immediately.

Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of the personal data concerning you:

  • if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;

If the processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, these data may only be - apart from being stored - processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

Obligation to erase

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase these data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  • You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary

  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) as well as Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR in so far as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to be informed

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

Right to object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Right to withdraw the data protection consent declaration

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent declaration at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
