This data is also saved in our system’s log files. This data is not stored together with any other personal data about the user. We collect and use this technical information for purposes of (network) security (e.g. to combat cyberattacks), marketing, and to better understand the requirements of our users, as well as to continuously improve our website and enable the respective user to access the website from their computer. This information is stored in log files to guarantee the website’s functionality. In addition, we use the data to optimize our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. We do not process the data collected in this context for marketing purposes.

3.2 Our website uses cookies.

Cookies are text files that are saved in the user’s web browser or by the user’s web browser on their computer system. If a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a unique string of characters that uniquely identifies the user’s browser when the user returns to the website. Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our site. As a result, you as the user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the use of cookies by changing the settings in your web browser. Any cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be carried out automatically.

On this website we use different categories of cookies: (1) Technically essential cookies, without which the functionality of our website would be limited, and (2) optional analytical, security, targeting or advertising cookies that generally originate from third-party providers:

Technically essential cookies

These cookies are essential to make it possible for you to navigate our websites and use their functions. For example, they store whether you agree to the use of cookies and your selection in the cookie settings. These cookies do not collect any information about you that is intended to be used for marketing purposes or that store where you have been on the Internet. These cookies are generally session-specific and expire at the end of your visit to the website (session), unless the respective function requires that they are stored for a longer period (e.g. storing the cookie setting). Deactivating this category of cookies would totally or partially restrict the functions of the website.
Legal basis for the use of these technically essential cookies is our legitimate interest in providing you with our website (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).

Analytical, security, targeting and advertising cookies

Analytical cookies collect information about how visitors use a website overall, for example which pages they access most often and whether they receive error messages from websites. All information collected with the help of these cookies is used exclusively to understand and improve the functionality and service on the website. For the analysis of our website we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. The information about your use of this website generated by the use of Google Analytics is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, then your IP address is first abbreviated by Google within European Union member states or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website in order to compile reports about website activities for the website operators and to provide further services associated with website and Internet usage. Google will also transfer this data to third parties where this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
Legal basis for the use of these analytical cookies is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

3.2. Your enquiries / feedback

When you use the online contact form to contact us, we process the information you provided therein to answer your enquiry and the IP address and date/time of the enquiry, to prevent the misuse of the contact form.
The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR to provide you with the "enquiries" service described above. If the intention of your enquiry is to initiate or process a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR.
You can object to the processing of your data based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. If we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing, we may then continue it. In this case, this may be required in particular in order to be able to prove past communications and enquiries with you. If there are no such compelling legitimate grounds, then we will cease communication with you and delete any data already collected.
This data is deleted when our communication with you ends, i.e. the relevant facts have been clarified and there are no further legitimate interests for storing the data, or there are no further statutory obligations to store it.

4. Right to object pursuant to Article 21 of the GDPR


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 point (e) or (f) of article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

If you make such an objection, the controller will no longer process your personal data unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object, at any time, to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is conducted in conjunction with such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will cease to process your personal data for this purpose.

5. Disclosure of personal Data to Third Parties (data processors)

For your protection and the protection of your personal data, such data transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable legal requirements (in particular application of EU standard contractual clauses) or an adequacy decision adopted by the EU Commission (article 45 of the GDPR).
