This Privacy Policy serves to inform you about the personal data collected on this website, why they are collected, how they are processed, when they are eventually deleted, and which rights are granted to persons concerned. Personal data are data that can be used to identify a natural.
The processing of personal data is based on the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (EU GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act of Germany.
The person determining the purposes and means of the processing of personal data — the Controller — is the operator of the website (see Legal), unless otherwise stated.
This website is not hosted on our own servers in our own computer center, but on servers we rent from an external service provider. External hosting offers operational benefits in terms of improved service offering (e.g. shorter response times, higher data throughput) as well as greater availability / failure safety. However, it also means that most of the personal data collected on this website are processed on the server of the external service provider. When choosing the service provider selection criteria are, amongst others, an impeccable reputation, operating the servers we rent in a computer center located in Germany. Moreover, we established a data processing agreement with the service provider in accordance with article 28 EU GDPR. The service provider is: Amazon Web Services Inc. P.O. Box 81226 Seattle, WA 98108-1226, USA.
By using this website, data is exchanged between your device (e.g. desktop computer, laptop computer, tablet, smartphone) and the website servers. Each time you click a link or submit a form, a request is created which the server reacts to with a response. Because of the architecture and functionality of the internet, request (from you to us) as well as responses (from us to you) are routed via various network nodes. It is practically impossible to know a request's or a response's route in advance and who the various nodes on the route are operated by. Therefore, to be on the safe side, you should assume that requests and responses, potentially containing personal data, can be viewed or even manipulated, even if doing so is illegal. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) ist a broadly used technology to encrypt requests and responses between a user device and a server ("end-to-end encryption"), protecting the data from unauthorized viewing or manipulation. This website is accessible via SSL connections. With regard to the protection of persona data from unauthorized access, we advise you to make use of the SSL connections offered by us. Most browsers indicate active SSL connections with a closed padlock symbol in or near the address field. When in doubt, consult the documentation of your browsers. Our website facilitates using SSL connections by automatically responding to requests via a non-SSL connection with a redirect to the equivalent SSL connection. Most browsers follow that redirect automatically.
The following personal data is collected via the contact form: Name, email address. The same applies to emails that you send us. We collect this data so that we can reply to you by email. We store the personal data until your request has been finally processed or you ask us to delete it. Email messages are stored on the hoster's servers in Ireland.
Data subjects (persons concerned) have the rights listed below.
To exercise your rights, please contact the Controller or, one of the supervisory authorities, as applicable.
This Privacy Policy will be updated as necessary so that it is always in line with the functional and technical circumstances and the current legal situation. The version number of the currently valid version including the date are indicated under the title of this Privacy Policy.
