General information

Data security

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against misuse, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. The security measures taken into account (such as encryption procedures, firewall and virus protection, back-up and recovery procedures) correspond to the current state of the art and are continuously updated.

Nevertheless, we would like to point out that there is always a certain residual risk when communicating on the Internet, which depends on the user's respective usage behavior and over which we consequently have no influence.

Scope (external links)

This privacy policy applies exclusively to visits to our own website.

At some points on our website, external websites of third parties are linked. These websites are subject to the liability of the respective operators. If you notice that links on the websites refer to Internet pages whose contents violate applicable law, please notify us via the e-mail address provided in the imprint.

In Germany there is an obligation to retain documents for 6 years in accordance with Β§ 257 para. 1 HGB (Handeslgesetzbuch),which effects the e.g. the storage period of commercial books, inventories, opening balances, annual financial statements, business letters or accounting vouchers. And pursuant to Β§ 147 para. 1 & 3 Abgabenordnung (AO), it is 10 years for books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, documents relevant to taxation, and 6 years in particular for commercial and business letters.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a legally prescribed storage period expires, your personal data will be deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Notes on our presence on social media

Data processing resulting from our presence on social media platforms

‍We are having profiles on various social media platforms. Details on the individual platforms we use can be found in this section.

Purpose:

Ensuring the most comprehensive online presence possible

Description of data processing:

‍The type of data processing differs from platform to platform. Social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. can comprehensively analyze user behavior when you visit the respective platform or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. share/ like buttons or banners). Visiting our profiles on the platforms triggers numerous processing operations relevant to data protection.

For example:
If you are logged into your account and visit our profile, the operator of the platform can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data transmitted when you visit our profile may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. This is done, for example, via cookies that are stored on your terminal device or by recording your IP address.

The data collected in this way enables the platforms to create user profiles of the visitors, in which the preferences and interests of the users are stored. This helps the operators of the platforms to show you advertising tailored to your respective interests inside and outside platforms. This is how the platforms earn money. Provided you have an account with the respective platform, this advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

The data processing that takes place on the individual platforms is very difficult for outsiders to understand: Β It is therefore not possible for us to trace all the processing operations that actually take place on the individual networks. When visiting the platforms, it is therefore quite possible that further processing operations of your data are carried out by the operators. You can find more information on this in the terms of use and data protection provisions of the individual services.

Legal basis:

‍The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a comprehensive presence on social media platforms pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data processing on the social media platforms themselves is based on other legal bases for which the operators themselves are responsible.

Storage period:

‍Personal data that we have collected directly via the individual platforms will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to do so, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Cookies remain on your device until you delete them. We have no direct influence on the storage period of your data on the individual social media platforms.
