General Information on Data Protection
The following provisions apply in principle not only to data collection on our website but also generally to the processing of personal data.
Personal Data
Personal data refers to information that can be individually attributed to you. Examples of this include your address, name, postal address, email address, or telephone number. Information such as the number of users visiting a website is not considered personal data because it does not allow for identification of individual persons.

Consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Contractual performance and pre-contractual measures pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for taking pre-contractual measures at the data subject’s request.
Legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR – Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation.

Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our home country.
Transmission of Personal Data
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed in this privacy policy.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
you have given your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR,

Data Collection on Our Website
On one hand, personal data from you is collected when you explicitly provide it to us, and on the other hand, certain technical data is automatically collected when you visit our website. Some of this data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of our website, while other data may be used for analysis purposes. However, you can generally use our website without providing any personal information.
Cookies
We use cookies on our website to make our online presence more user-friendly and functional. Some cookies are stored on your device.
Cookies are small data packets exchanged between your browser and the web server, specifically our web server, when you visit our website. They do not cause any harm and are only used to recognize website visitors. Cookies can only store information provided by your browser, which means information you have entered into the browser yourself or that is available on the website. Cookies cannot execute code and cannot be used to access your device.
Depending on their purpose and function, we categorize cookies as follows:
Technically necessary cookies: These ensure the technical operation and basic functionality of our website. For example, they are used to retain your settings while navigating the website or to ensure that important information is preserved throughout your session.
Statistical cookies: These help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and analyzing information anonymously. This allows us to gain valuable insights to optimize both the website and our products and services.
Marketing cookies: These are used to perform targeted advertising activities for users on our website.
The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in the technically flawless operation and smooth functionality of our website, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies. The use of statistical and marketing cookies requires your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies for the future at any time in accordance with Art. 7(3) of the GDPR. Giving consent is voluntary, and no disadvantages will arise if it is not given.

Google Analytics
Purpose: Statistics Recipient country: USA
On our website, we use the functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics to analyze user behavior and optimize our online presence. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“).
ATTENTION! As part of this service, data is transmitted to the USA, and such transmission cannot be excluded. We would like to inform you that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection when transferring data to the USA, which means that there are different risks (such as possible access by US intelligence agencies).
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of the use of our website.
Information about the use of the website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, previously visited page, hostname of the accessing computer (IP address), and time of the server request, is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser will not be associated with any other data held by Google.
During your website visit, the following data, among others, is collected:
Pages you accessed and your click path
Achievement of website goals (conversions), such as newsletter sign-ups, downloads, purchases
Your user behavior (e.g., clicks, time spent on pages, bounce rates)
Your approximate location (region)
Your IP address (in truncated form)
Technical information about your browser and the devices you use (e.g., language settings, screen resolution)
Your internet service provider
The referrer URL (the website/advertising medium through which you accessed our website)
The data on the use of our website will be deleted immediately after the storage period set by us. Google Analytics provides us with the following options for the storage period: 14 months, 26 months, 38 months, 50 months, or no automatic deletion. You can inquire about the current storage period set by us at any time.
The processing of your data using Google Analytics is based on your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

The service Google Tag Manager provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“) is used on our website.
ATTENTION! As part of this service, data may be transmitted to the United States or such transmission cannot be ruled out. We would like to inform you that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection when transferring data to the United States, and therefore, various risks exist (such as possible access by US intelligence agencies).
When the Google Tag Manager is launched, your browser establishes a connection to Google’s servers, primarily located in the United States. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed through your IP address. You can find information on the exact locations of Google data centers here: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/
The Tag Manager is a service that allows us to manage website tags through an interface. This enables us to incorporate code snippets such as tracking codes or conversion pixels onto websites without having to modify the source code. The data is only forwarded by the Tag Manager and not collected or stored. The Tag Manager itself is a cookie-less domain and does not process personal data, as it purely serves the purpose of managing other services. This constitutes a legitimate interest based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The Tag Manager facilitates the resolution of other tags that may potentially collect data. However, the Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been performed at the domain or cookie level, it will apply to all tracking tags implemented with the Tag Manager.
To prevent this service, you can install a JavaScript blocker. However, this may cause the website to no longer function as expected.
For further information on data protection, please refer to the following Google webpages:
Our website uses web fonts provided by Google for a consistent display of fonts. Google Fonts is a service offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“).
ATTENTION! As part of this service, data may be transmitted to the United States or such transmission cannot be ruled out. We would like to inform you that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection when transferring data to the United States, and therefore, various risks exist (such as possible access by US intelligence agencies).
In order to display Google web fonts, the browser used by you needs to establish a connection to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed through your IP address. Additionally, Google stores the IP address of the visitor’s browser on their server. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used from your device.
With each Google Font request, information such as language settings, screen resolution, browser version, and name is automatically transmitted to Google servers along with the IP address. Through the collected usage data, Google can determine the popularity of fonts. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages (e.g., Google Analytics).
Using Google Fonts allows us to use fonts on our website without having to upload them to our server. Google Fonts is an essential component to maintain the quality of our website. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web, which saves data volume and is especially advantageous for mobile devices. When you visit us, the low file size ensures fast loading times. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts and support all common browsers.
Google stores CSS asset requests on its servers for one day. This allows us to use the font stylesheets provided by Google. The font files are stored by Google for one year. To delete data prematurely, you need to contact Google Support (https://support.google.com).
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited.
If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
Our website uses features provided by the Vimeo video portal. This service is provided by Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
If you visit one of our pages featuring a Vimeo plugin, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. Here the Vimeo server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo will receive your IP address. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo when you visit our website or do not have a Vimeo account. The information is transmitted to a Vimeo server in the US, where it is stored.
If you are logged in to your Vimeo account, Vimeo allows you to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.
