When we process personal data to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR applies as the legal basis.
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR applies as the legal basis for processing data when this is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override this legitimate interest.
3. Deleting Data and Storage Duration
The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing the data has been fulfilled. In addition, data may be stored if data storage has been allowed by European or national legislators in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject.

II. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files
1. Description and Scope of Data Processing
Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the system on the computer accessing the website.
The following data is collected:
(1) Information about the browser type, the version in use, the language in use
(2) Information about the device type and the resolution in use
(3) The user's operating system
(4) The user's internet service provider

The data is also stored in the log files in our system. This data is not stored alongside other personal data belonging to the user.
2. Legal Basis for Data Processing
Article 6(1)(f) forms the legal basis for temporarily storing data and log files.
3. Purpose of Data Processing
Temporary storage of the user's IP address by the system is necessary to allow the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must be stored for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to guarantee the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimize the website and to guarantee the security of our information systems. Analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this scenario.
For these purposes, our legitimate interest in processing the data is also based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
4. Duration of Storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data being collected in order to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session is finished.
Storage beyond this point is possible. In this case, the user's IP addresses are deleted or pseudonymized so that it is no longer possible to use them to identify the accessing client.
5. Right to Object and to Rectification
Collecting data for the purpose of providing the website and storing this data in log files is mandatory for operating our website. For this reason, the user has no right to object.
III. Use of Cookies
1. Description and Scope of Data Processing
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. When a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a distinctive character string that allows the unique identification of the browser when the website is visited again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require the accessing browser to be identifiable even after the user moves on to a different page.
The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:
(1) Language settings
(2) Login information

(8) Browser
(9) Location (country only)
The user data collected in this format is pseudonymized by means of technical precautions. Using the data to identify the accessing user is therefore no longer possible. The data is not stored alongside the user's other personal data.
When our website is accessed, users are informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and referred to this Privacy Policy via an info banner. In this scenario, users are also notified that they can prevent cookies being stored in the browser settings.
More information about the analysis tools that we use is provided in the following explanations and links:
Google Analytics:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies" — text files that are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of website usage. The information produced by the cookie about your use of this website is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyze your use of the website, compile reports about website activities and provide the site operator with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You may prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by selecting the relevant setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case some parts of this website may lose full functionality. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Hotjar:
We use Hotjar to better understand the needs of our users and to optimize the offering on this website. Using the Hotjar technology, we obtain a better understanding of the users' experiences (e.g. how much time users spend on which pages, which links they click on, what they like and dislike, etc.) and this information helps us to align our offering with feedback from our users. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect information about the behavior of our users and their devices (in particular the IP address of the device (collected and stored only in an anonymized format), screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), information about the browser in use, location (country only), preferred language used to view our website). Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. The information is not used by Hotjar or by us to identify individual users and it is not connected to other data about individual users. More information is available in the Hotjar Privacy Policy here .
You can object to the storage of a user profile and of information about your visit to our website by Hotjar and the creation of Hotjar tracking cookies on other websites by clicking on this opt-out link .
Bing Ads Conversion Tracking:
Our online services also use conversion tracking from Microsoft (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). As part of this solution, Microsoft Bing Ads stores a cookie on your computer when you access our website via a Microsoft Bing advert. This method allows Microsoft Bing and us to detect that someone clicked on an advert, was forwarded to our website and reached a predetermined destination page (a conversion page). Through this solution, we learn only the total number of users who clicked on a Bing advert and then were forwarded to the conversion page. No personal information regarding the user's identity is communicated. If you do not wish to be subject to this tracking procedure, you can also prevent the necessary cookie from being stored on your computer by selecting the relevant setting in your browser software. This generally disables the automatic generation of cookies. More information about data protection and the use of cookies by Microsoft Bing can be found on the Microsoft website: privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.
Google Ads:
We have integrated Google Ads into this website. Google Ads is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to display adverts in both the search engine results from Google and within the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords to prompt an advert to be displayed in the search engine results from Google provided that the user retrieves a search result relevant to the keywords by using the search engine. Within the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed across related websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the keywords that have already been specified. We use Google Ads to advertise our website by displaying interest-based advertising on websites operated by third-party companies and in the search engine results from the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website. When a data subject accesses our website via a Google advert, a "conversion cookie" is stored by Google on the IT system of the user in question. A conversion cookie becomes invalid after thirty days and is not designed to enable identification of the data subject. While the conversion cookie is still valid, it is used to track whether the user accesses certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system. The conversion cookie allows Google and us to track whether a data subject who accessed our website via a Google Ads advert generated a sale, i.e., whether a purchase was completed or cancelled.
The data and information collected using the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile traffic statistics for our website. These traffic statistics are used by us in turn to determine the total number of users who accessed our website via Google Ads adverts so that we can assess the success or failure of the respective Google Ads adverts and optimize our Google Ads adverts for the future. Neither our company nor any other advertisers that use Google Ads receive information from Google with which the data subject could be identified.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Every visit to our websites therefore involves personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, being processed. Google Ireland Limited (registration number: 368047), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland is the company affiliated with Google that is responsible for processing your data and complying with the applicable data protection laws.
You can prevent cookies from being generated by our website as described above at any time by adjusting your Internet browser settings accordingly and therefore permanently preventing cookies from being stored. Adjusting your Internet browser settings will also prevent Google from storing a conversion cookie on the IT system. In addition, a cookie already stored by Google Ads can be deleted at any time using the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, you have the option to opt out of interest-based advertising from Google. To do this, use your Internet browser to access this link https://adssettings.google.com and then configure the settings as required.
More information and the data protection provisions applicable at Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en .

Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) 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 the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) 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;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with points (h) and (i) of Article 9(2) as well as Article 9(3);

5. Notification Obligation Regarding Rectification or Erasure of Personal Data or Restriction of Processing
The controller shall communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing carried out to each recipient to whom the personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
The controller shall inform the data subject about those recipients if the data subject requests it.
6. Right to Data Portability
The data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where:
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1); and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising his or her right to data portability, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This right shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
That right shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to Object
The data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1), including profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Where the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
8. Right to Withdraw Consent to the Data Protection Declaration
The data subject has the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her. This shall not apply if the decision:
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller;
(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
These decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1), unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) applies and suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her 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 Article 78.!
