General information on data processing

We process personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content, or to handle your enquiries.

The legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, DSGVO), insofar as the processing serves the performance of pre-contractual measures or of a contract, and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, insofar as the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override them.

Personal data is erased as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Data may also be stored beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. The data is then erased when the prescribed storage period expires.

Hosting and log files

Our website is hosted by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin, on servers in Germany. STRATO processes the data on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR).

Each time our website is accessed, the web server automatically collects information transmitted by your browser: IP address, date and time of access, page accessed, browser type and version, operating system and the website from which you visit us. This data is stored in log files and is not merged with other personal data.

The processing is necessary to deliver the website to your device and to ensure the security and stability of the systems, in particular to detect and fend off attacks. This constitutes our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). IP addresses are stored for no longer than seven days and are then erased or anonymised.

The website is transmitted in encrypted form (HTTPS).

No cookies, no tracking

Our website does not set any cookies and does not store any information in your browser. We do not collect any statistics, do not analyse your visitor behaviour and do not embed any content or services from third-party providers. Fonts, images and scripts are loaded exclusively from our own web server.

Contacting us

If you contact us by email or phone, we process the information you provide (for example, name, email address, phone number and the content of your message) in order to handle your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry relates to a contract or its initiation, and otherwise our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The data is erased as soon as your enquiry has been conclusively dealt with and no statutory retention obligations, for instance under commercial or tax law, preclude erasure.

Rights of data subjects

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the rights described below vis-à-vis us. Please address your request, preferably by email, to the controller named above.

Access: You have the right to obtain from us, at any time and free of charge, information about and confirmation of the personal data stored about you, as well as a copy of this information (Art. 15 GDPR).

Rectification: You have the right to rectification and/or completion if the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete (Art. 16 GDPR).

Restriction of processing: You have the right to request restriction of processing where one of the following applies (Art. 18 GDPR):

  • You contest the accuracy of the personal data, for a period enabling us 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 its use instead.
  • We no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • You have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, pending verification of whether our legitimate grounds override yours.

Erasure: You have the right to have the personal data concerning you erased without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary (Art. 17 GDPR):

  • The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
  • 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.
  • The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
  • The erasure of the personal data is required for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which we are subject.

Data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to another controller or, where technically feasible, to have it transmitted directly by us (Art. 20 GDPR). This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Complaint to a supervisory authority: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR). The authority competent for us is the Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (North Rhine-Westphalia Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, www.ldi.nrw.de.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR). In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
