   How is your data collected?

   Your data is collected when you provide it to us, for example. This can happen, for example, when you send the data by e-mail or enter it in a form.

   However, there are also other data that are automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website, for example, through your computer or smartphone. This is mainly technical data, for example, with which Internet browser you are on the Internet, which operating system you use or on which day or at what time you visited our website. This data collection takes place automatically as soon as you are connected to the website.

   A large part of the data is collected to determine what you use on our website. This enables us to ensure an error-free presentation of the website. Another part is used to determine which parts of the website you have visited and what you were interested in.

2. Mandatory information and further notes
    

   1. Data privacy

      As the operator of this website, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. The personal data you provide will be treated confidentially in accordance with the statutory provisions on data protection and this privacy policy. The use of this website triggers the collection of various personal data. Personal data is data by which you can be identified. This data protection declaration is intended to explain what data is collected from you and what it is used for. It will also explain to you the purpose for which this is done.

      Basically, we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet, for example, through communication by e-mail is not secure in all respects. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is unfortunately not completely possible.

   2. Legal basis
      Pursuant to Art. 13 DSGVO, we would like to name the legal bases on which we carry out the data processing. Unless a specific legal basis is mentioned in this privacy policy, the following applies:
      According to Art. 6 (1) a) and Art. 7 DSGVO, it is possible to obtain your consent for data processing. The legal basis for the processing of your data for the fulfillment of services by us and to respond to your inquiries is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) DSGVO. The provision of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO is the basis for the processing of data for the fulfillment of legal obligations incumbent upon us and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO enables us to process your data for the protection of our legitimate interests.
       
   3. Responsible entity

      The controller is the above-mentioned legal entity which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
       
   4. Changes or updates to the privacy policy
      As soon as changes in the processing of data carried out by us make it necessary, we will update the privacy policy. Therefore, you are requested to regularly inform yourself about the content of this privacy policy.
       
   5. Right to information
      According to Article 15 of the DSGVO, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing data relating to you. In addition, you have the right to information about this data and the right to receive a copy of this data.
       
   6. Right of rectification
      Art. 16 DSGVO gives you the right to request the completion and/or correction of the data concerning you.
       
   7. Right to deletion
      In accordance with Art. 17 DSGVO, you have the right to demand that data concerning you be deleted without delay.
       
   8. Right to restriction of processing
      According to Art. 18 DSGVO, you can request a restriction of the processing of the data by us.
       
   9. Right to data portability
      According to Art. 20 DSGVO, you have the right to have the data provided by you transferred to you or a third party in a common and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this can only be done insofar as this is technically feasible.
       
   10. Right of withdrawal
       For many data processing operations, it is necessary that you give your explicit consent. Once you have given your consent, you can revoke it at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) DSGVO. In principle, an informal communication, for example by e-mail to us, is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing remains unaffected by a possible revocation.
        
   11. Right of objection
       According to Art. 21 DSGVO, you have the right to object to future processing of data concerning you by us. The objection may also be directed against processing by us for the purpose of direct marketing.
        
   12. Right of complaint to the supervisory authority
       If you believe that a violation of data protection regulations has occurred, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which we have our registered office; this is North Rhine-Westphalia. A list of the respective data protection officers as well as the specific contact details can be found in the following link:

   13. SSL or TLS encryption
       For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that in the address line of your browser the address begins with https://, or you can see a lock in the browser line. If such encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
        
3. Data deletion
   
   Based on Art. 17 and 18 DSGVO, the data provided by you and processed by us will be deleted or restricted in its processing. If it is not explicitly stated in this privacy policy when corresponding data will be deleted, we point out at this point that they will be deleted as soon as the purpose for processing has been achieved and no legal retention obligations oppose this. In the latter case, the data will be restricted in their processing. This applies in particular to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law. According to Section 257 (1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB), these data must be retained for six years for e.g. commercial books, inventories, opening balances, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting vouchers, etc., and according to Section 147 (1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) for ten years for e.g. books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial and business letters, relevant documents with significance for taxation, etc.
    
4. Data collection on our website
    
   1. Server log files
      Our website is stored on servers. The provider of the server automatically stores information about the visit to our website. This is so-called log files, which are automatically transmitted by the browser you are using. In particular, the following information is transmitted:
      
      -language,
      -browser type and version,
      -time of server request,
      -IP address,
      -error codes,
      -operating system used,
      -referrer URL.
      
      In principle, this data is not merged with other data sources.
      
      The legal basis for the collection and processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 2 lit. f) DSGVO. This legal basis is the legitimate interest to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.
       
   2. Cookies
      No cookies are set by our website.
       

5. E-mail

   If you choose the way to send us inquiries by e-mail, the information from the e-mail including the contact information you provide there will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and in case of further questions. This data will not be passed on without your express consent.

   The processing of the data transmitted by you via e-mail is therefore based in particular on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal communication, for example by e-mail, is sufficient for this purpose. In principle, the legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected. In the event of contact being made without express consent on your part, e.g. by e-mail, the processing of the data will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO for the purpose of processing the contact request and handling it.

   All data provided by you will remain with us until you request deletion of the same, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. The latter is the case, for example, when we have completed processing your request. A review of the necessity takes place every two years. In the case of legal archiving obligations, your data will be deleted after the respective expiration. Of course, mandatory legal provisions, in particular legal retention periods (6 years in the case of commercial law and 10 years in the case of tax retention obligations) remain unaffected.
    

6. Plug-ins and tools
   
   YouTube

   Plug-ins from the Google-operated YouTube site are used on our website. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

   When you visit a page that is equipped with a YouTube plug-in, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. In the process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in with a YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can always prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used by us to ensure the appropriate and appealing presentation of our online offer. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.
