Our contact details can be found in the imprint of the online offer, the contact persons for questions regarding the processing of personal data are named directly in this data protection declaration.
We take the protection of your privacy and your private data very seriously. We collect, store and use your personal data only in accordance with the content of this privacy policy and the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the national data protection regulations.
With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you to what extent and for what purpose personal data is processed in connection with the use of the online offer.
Personal data is information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes all information about your identity, such as your name, your e-mail address or your postal address. However, information that cannot be linked to your identity (such as statistical data, e.g. the number of users of the online service) is not considered personal information.
In principle, you can use our online offer without disclosing your identity and without providing personal data. We will then only collect general information about your visit to our website. However, personal data is collected from you for some of the services offered. This data is then only processed by us for the purposes of using this online service, in particular for providing the requested information. When collecting personal data, only the data that is absolutely necessary must be provided. In addition, further information may be possible, in which case it is voluntary. We will indicate in each case whether these are mandatory or voluntary fields. We will then provide information on the specific details in the corresponding section of this privacy policy.
Automated decision-making based on your personal data does not take place in connection with the use of our online services.
Your data is stored by us on specially protected servers within the European Union. These are protected by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your data is only possible for a few authorized persons. These persons are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers. Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all risks is not possible.
Your personal data is transmitted over the Internet in encrypted form. We use SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) for data transmission.
We only use your personal information to provide the services you have requested. If external service providers are used by us to provide the service, their access to the data is also exclusively for the purpose of providing the service. We take technical and organizational measures to ensure compliance with data protection regulations and also oblige our external service providers to do the same.
Furthermore, we do not pass on the data to third parties without your express consent, in particular not for advertising purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on if you yourself have consented to the data being passed on or if we are entitled or obliged to do so on the basis of statutory provisions and/or official or court orders. In particular, this may involve providing information for the purposes of criminal prosecution, averting danger or enforcing intellectual property rights.
Insofar as we obtain consent for the processing of your personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing.
Insofar as we process your personal data because this is necessary for the performance of a contract or in the context of a quasi-contractual relationship with you, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing.
Insofar as we process your personal data to fulfill a legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing.
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR also serves as the legal basis for data processing if the processing of your personal data is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not require the protection of personal data.
As part of this privacy policy, we always indicate the legal basis on which we base the processing of your personal data.
We always delete or block your personal data when the purpose of storage no longer applies. However, data may be stored beyond this if this is provided for by legal requirements to which we are subject, for example with regard to statutory retention and documentation obligations. In such a case, we will delete or block your personal data after the end of the corresponding requirements.

For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

We use the WP-SlimStat tool to improve the quality of our online offering and to monitor its reach; this involves processing data to generate statistics. Your IP address is not stored, but anonymized at the moment of collection. It is therefore impossible to assign the statistical data to a person.
