Thank you for visiting our website. Below we inform you which data we collect when you visit the site and what we use it for.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a page is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file containing, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data).

This access data is evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offering. This serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest in a correct presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Hosting

Our website is operated and technically maintained on our behalf by Akitogo Internet and Media Applications GmbH, Senckenberganlage 10–12, 60325 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The servers are located in data centres of Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany, within the EU. All data collected when you visit the website or use the contact form is processed on these servers.

Data processing agreements under Art. 28 GDPR are in place with both providers. Hosting does not involve any transfer of data to countries outside the EU. Access data (log files) is deleted after 14 days.

2. Contacting us and appointment requests

If you contact us by e-mail, by phone or via the “Talk to us” form, we use the data you provide (for example name, e-mail address, company and your request) to process your enquiry. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR where your enquiry is aimed at an order, and otherwise our legitimate interest in answering your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Once your enquiry has been dealt with conclusively, your data is deleted unless statutory retention obligations apply.

3. Cookies

Our website uses technically necessary cookies: one cookie set by our content management system (ContentBox) to operate the site, and one cookie that stores your choice in the cookie banner. They contain no information about you as a person and are not used for advertising purposes. The legal basis is Section 25 (2) no. 2 TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

We only set statistics cookies if you agree in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” at the foot of every page.

4. Web analytics with Google Analytics

With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 for web analytics, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The service helps us understand how visitors interact with the website. IP addresses are only processed in shortened form, so that the data collected is not merged with your person.

Google Analytics is only loaded after you have agreed to statistics cookies in the cookie banner. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via “Cookie settings”.

The data collected by Google Analytics is deleted automatically after 2 months. The Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_<ID>) are stored for up to 2 years unless you delete them earlier or withdraw your consent.

Data may also be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; transfers are therefore covered by an adequacy decision of the European Commission under Art. 45 GDPR. For more information, see Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

5. Fonts and media

Fonts, images and videos on this website are loaded from our own server. No connection to third-party servers is established for this when the page is called up.

6. Contact options and your rights

As a data subject you have the following rights: the right of access to your data processed by us (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectification of inaccurate data or completion of your data (Art. 16 GDPR), to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).

If you have questions about the collection, processing or use of your data or about exercising your rights, please use the contact details given above.

Right to object

Where we process data to safeguard our legitimate interests as explained above, you may object to this processing with effect for the future. After you exercise your right to object, we will no longer process your data for these purposes unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests.
