1. THE REASONS FOR DATA COLLECTION

We collect and process your data so we can make our website available to you and to provide you with the best possible services through the convenient access to our services.

2. WHAT DATA ARE COLLECTED, PROCESSED OR USED?

2.1 VISITING OUR WEBSITE

When you access our webpages, our servers automatically collect general information, especially for the purpose of establishing the connection, the functionality and for system security. The information includes the type of browser used, the operating system used, the domain name of the internet service provider, the connection data of the used computer (IP address), the website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL), the pages that you visit in our website as well as the date and duration of your visit. From these data, we cannot infer the identity of certain persons owing to pseudonymization. These data are not combined with other data sources.

2.2 CONTACT FORM

If you contact us through the contact form, you must include your name and e-mail address in the message you send to us. All the other details are voluntary and therefore you do not have to provide them. The data are stored to process your inquiry and we will not forward them without your consent. We delete the data received in this context after storage is no longer necessary or we limit the processing if legal storage obligations apply. The legal foundation for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b) of the GDPR.

3. DELETION

Personal data are deleted or blocked as soon as the storage purpose no longer applies or you request the deletion. The data are deleted even when the storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned norm expires unless there is a requirement to keep storing the data to conclude or fulfill a contract or you have given your consent for this.

4. Cookies

Cookies are used so the webpages and preferences of the website visitors can be attractively designed. Therefore, your information for selecting a language are stored, for example. Cookies are text files stored on your hard drive that allow the identification of the browser when you visit the website again.

You can prevent the storage of cookies on your hard drive by setting your browser accordingly. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time; consult the respective browser instructions to find out how you can delete cookies or prevent their storage. If you do not accept cookies, the use of our internet offerings may be affected.

The legal foundation for the processing of cookies is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) of the GDPR.

5. DATA SECURITY

We secure our website and other systems by taking technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, change or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Depending on the browser used, data are transmitted with 128-bit to 256-bit SSL encryption. In spite of regular checks and continuous improvement of our security measures, full protection against all dangers is not possible.

6. WEB ANALYSIS BY MATOMO (FORMERLY PIWIK)

On our website, we use the open source software tool Matomo of the provider InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand (formerly PIWIK, www.matomo.org) to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on users’ computers (regarding cookies, see above) and when individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data are stored:

  1. Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s accessing system
  2. The accessed web page
  3. The website from which the user has reached the accessed web page (referrer URL)
  4. The subpages that are accessed from the accessed web page
  5. The length of stay on the website
  6. The frequency of website access

The software runs here exclusively on our website servers. A storage of the personal data of users takes place only there. The data are not forwarded to third parties.

The software has been set up in such a way that the IP addresses are not fully stored, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (example: 192.168.xxx.xxx). This prevents an allocation of the shortened IP address to the accessing computer.

You can object to the data collection and storage at any time with future effect by unchecking the checkbox below:

The legal foundation for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) of the GDPR.

The processing of your aforementioned personal data allows us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. By evaluating the data gathered, we are capable of compiling information about the usage of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user friendliness. In these purposes lies also our legitimate interest in the processing of the data acc. to Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f) of the GDPR. By making the IP address anonymous, the users’ interest to protect their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this occurs after 12 weeks.
