Collection of general information when visiting our website

Nature and purpose of processing

When you access our website, i.e., when you do not register or otherwise submit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address and the like.

In particular, this data is processed for the following purposes:

  • to ensure an efficient connection setup of the website,
  • to ensure an efficient use of our website,
  • to evaluate system security and stability, and
  • to optimize our website.

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you personally. Information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us anonymously, if necessary, in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

Storage period

Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is generally the case for data used to provide the website when the respective session has ended.

When storing data in log files, they are deleted after 14 days at the latest. Storing data for longer than 14 days is also possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized, so that an assignment of the client is no longer possible.

Mandatory or required provision of data

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website is not guaranteed. In addition, individual services may not be available or may be limited. For this reason, an objection is excluded.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” on our website. The service is provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the entries on our website, for example in contact or registration forms, originate from a human user or an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors based on various criteria. This analysis begins automatically when the website is visited. Various information is used for the analysis, such as the IP address, the time spent on the website or the user’s mouse movements. The collected data is transmitted to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses take place unnoticed in the background without website visitors being informed. This data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and spam.

To delete your data or prevent data storage, you can take the following steps: Log out of Google completely and delete all Google cookies before visiting our website or before using reCAPTCHA. Please note, however, that data is automatically transmitted to Google as soon as you visit our website. To delete this data, you must contact Google support at https://support.google.com/.

By using our website, you consent to the automatic collection, processing and use of data by Google and its representatives.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/

Script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across different browsers, we use Google Web Fonts of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (hereinafter “Google”) on this website to display fonts.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=en and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Social plugins

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our website. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Information, which may also include personal data, may be sent to the service provider via these plugins and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only this activation of the plugin also triggers the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider. We do not collect any personal data ourselves by means of the social plugins or about their use.

We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information is collected and used. There is also the possibility that the service providers try to save cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a particular page.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Information about your right to object according to Art. 21 GDPR

Right to object for individual cases

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR (data processing on the basis of legitimate interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4 (4) GDPR.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims.
