2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When using our website for purely informational purposes — i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information — we only collect the data that your browser transmits to the server (so-called "server log files"). When you visit our website, we collect the following data which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

Processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used for any other purpose. We reserve the right, however, to check the server log files retrospectively if there are specific indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the "https://" prefix and the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

For hosting our website and displaying page content, we use a provider that provides its services itself or through selected sub-contractors exclusively on servers within the European Union. All data collected on our website is processed on these servers. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies — small text files stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser (so-called "session cookies"); others remain on your device for longer and allow page settings to be stored (so-called "persistent cookies").

Where personal data is also processed by individual cookies we use, this processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for the performance of a contract, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in the case of consent given, or pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and to decide individually about their acceptance, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

5) Contact

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected when using a contact form is apparent from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for making contact and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data is deleted after your enquiry has been fully processed.

6) Web Analytics

Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables analysis of your use of our website.

By default, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies when visiting the website. The information is transmitted to Google's servers and processed there, including possible transfers to Google LLC based in the USA. Data collected via Google Analytics 4 is stored for two months and then deleted.

All processing described above is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke consent already given with effect for the future at any time via the cookie consent tool provided on the website.

8) Website Functions

Our website embeds graphic elements from the following provider to display external customer reviews: Google Ireland Limited (Google Maps / Google Places API). When you access a page on our website that contains such elements, your browser establishes a connection to Google's servers. Certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in this process. Processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our offering.

9) Tools and Other

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The tool is displayed to users when the page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface. Using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded once the respective user has given the corresponding consent.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

10) Rights of Data Subjects

10.1 Applicable data protection law grants you the following data subject rights vis-à-vis the controller with respect to the processing of your personal data:

11) Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the relevant legal basis, the purpose of processing, and — where applicable — the relevant statutory retention period.

When personal data is processed on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data in question is stored until you withdraw your consent.

Unless otherwise stated in the information in this policy on specific processing situations, stored personal data is deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
