Data subject rights
Pursuant to Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to information about the processing of your personal data. In addition, you are free to exercise your rights to rectification, erasure or, if erasure is not possible, restriction of processing and data portability in accordance with Articles 16-18, 20 GDPR. If you wish to exercise this right, please contact our data protection officer. Furthermore, you have the right to complain to the competent supervisory authority at any time. If you are of the opinion that your personal data is not being processed in compliance with data protection laws, we would kindly ask you to contact our data protection officer.

Protection of the stored data
We use technical and organizational security measures in order to protect the personal data you have made available to us from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved and adapted according to the state of the art. It cannot be ruled out that data transmitted by you without encryption can be viewed by third parties during transmission. We would like to point out that no conclusive guarantee can be given for the security of data transmission via the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail). Sensitive data should therefore either not be transferred at all or only via a secure connection (SSL) over the Internet.
Rights of affected persons
According to Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to request information about the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you are free to claim your rights on the correction, deletion or, if deletion is not possible, on the restriction of the processing and on data portability according to Article 16-18, 20 GDPR. If you want to claim this right, please refer to our data protection officer.
Furthermore, you have the right to make complaints at the responsible supervisory authority at any time. Should you think that the processing of your personal data does not take place within the observance of the data protection laws, we kindly ask you to contact our data protection officer.

Protection of the stored data
We use technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continously improved and adapted according to the state-of-the-art. It cannot be excluded that data that you transfer unecrypted cannot be accessed by third parties during transmission. We point out that regarding the data transmission via the Internet (e. g. at the communication by e-mail) no final secure transmission can be guaranteed. Sensitive data should therefore either not be transferred at all or only via a secure connection (SSL) via the Internet.

On our website, we use technical cookies to make the website more user-friendly. In order to use the full functionality of our website, it is therefore necessary for technical reasons to allow session cookies.
The purpose of using such cookies is to enable you to use the website in a simplified and more user-friendly way. It is therefore necessary for the browser to be able to identify you even after you have changed pages.
The data is not used to create a user profile of you. The legal basis for the use of technical cookies is our legitimate interest according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 lit. f) GDPR. It is not possible to use the website without session cookies.
Cookies for evaluation (tracking cookies)
In addition to the use of technical cookies, tracking cookies are used on this website. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. However, these collect and store data exclusively in pseudonymous form. They are not used to identify you personally and are not merged with data about the bearer of the pseudonym. We use this information to determine the attractiveness of our website and to continuously improve its content. The legal basis for the use of tracking cookies is the consent given by you in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 lit. a) GDPR. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected. You can adjust the cookie settings at any time.
Individual information about the cookies and analytics services used as well as the purpose and legal basis of the data processing are further described in detail in the privacy policy.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter “Google”), which uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. Cookies generally transmit the information generated about your use of this website to a Google server in the USA and are stored there. However, since this website uses IP anonymization, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services to the website operator relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
The collection within the scope of this service only takes place after you have given your express consent. The legal basis for this is your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 lit. a) GDPR. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.
The purpose of the collection is the evaluation of the use of our website. Furthermore, the use of Google Analytics allows us to create reports about website activities and thus improve our internet presence. In addition to us, Google is to be named as the recipient of the data. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. You can stop the collection of your data by Google Analytics at any time, even after giving your consent.
Google Maps
Our website uses Google Maps API (Application Programming Interface) for the visual display of geo-graphical information (location maps). Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: “Google”). This enables us to make it easier for you to find us or to point out specific locations.
Google is therefore also to be named as the recipient of the data. When Google Maps is used, information about the use of our website, including your IP address, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This data processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 lit. a) GDPR, as the IP address is needed to provide you with the content.
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.
In this processing, the cooperation with Google is based on a joint responsibility agreement pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. This can be accessed at https://privacy.google.com/intl/de/businesses/mapscontrollerterms/.
The transfer of data to the USA is associated with risks under data protection law. If you do not wish the transfer, you can deactivate your consent in the cookie settings. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display.
More information about the collection and processing of your data by Google and your rights as a data subject in this regard can be found in Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/?hl=de and in the additional terms of use for Google Maps and Google Earth at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
Google Fonts
Our website uses Google Fonts for the integration of external fonts, a service of Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: “Google”). By integrating Google Fonts, a direct connection to Google’s servers is established when you visit our website. The fonts can only be transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates them into the website. It is possible to have the connections to fonts.googleapis.com blocked by your operating system or a suitable browser add-on. The use of our website might then only be possible to a limited extent. The purpose of the collection is a uniform presentation of fonts and icons, which are offered by Google Fonts. The legal basis is therefore our legitimate interest in the uniform presentation in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 lit. f) GDPR. The data is deleted as soon as you leave our website. You can find more information about the collection and processing of your data by Google and your data subject rights in this regard in Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/?hl=de.
