However, pursuant to Sections 8 to 10 TMG, we are not obliged to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

Permanent monitoring of the linked pages is unreasonable without concrete indications of a legal violation. Upon becoming aware of legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.

Definitions

This privacy policy is intended to be simple and easy to understand. It generally uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These definitions are explained in Article 4 GDPR.

When you access our website, it is technically necessary for data to be transmitted from your internet browser to our web server. The following data is recorded during an active connection:

Date and time of the request
Name of the requested file
Website from which the file was requested
Access status
Web browser and operating system used
(Full) IP address of the requesting device
Amount of data transferred

This data is collected to ensure a smooth connection setup and a user-friendly experience. Log files also serve to evaluate system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The legal basis for temporary storage is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Contact Form and Email Contact

If you contact us via contact form or email, your details (including first and last name, if provided) will be stored to process your request and handle follow-up questions. Providing an email address is required; providing your name and phone number is voluntary.

Your data will not be passed on without your consent. The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR if the request relates to a contract. Your data will be deleted after final processing unless statutory retention obligations apply. You may object to processing at any time.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies. Google processes this information on behalf of the website operator to analyze website usage and compile reports.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled, meaning your IP address is shortened before processing. A data processing agreement has been concluded with Google. As data may be transferred to the USA, standard contractual clauses pursuant to Article 46 (2) (c) GDPR have been agreed.

Data is deleted once it is no longer required, at the latest after 14 months. You can prevent cookie storage through browser settings or by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser plugin:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Most cookies are session cookies and are deleted automatically after your visit. Others remain stored until deleted or expired.

Cookies may process personal data based on Article 6 (1) (b) or (f) GDPR. You can configure your browser to notify you about cookies, allow them selectively, or disable them entirely. Disabling cookies may limit website functionality.
