In accordance with Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter “GDPR”), “processing” means any operation or set of operations performed, with or without the aid of automated processes, on personal data such as the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
The following privacy policy informs you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of such data, insofar as we, either alone or together with others, decide on the purposes and means of processing. In addition, we inform you below about third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to improve the quality of use, insofar as third parties process data under their own responsibility.

2. Your Rights under the GDPR

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

• to obtain confirmation as to whether data concerning them are being processed, to access such data, and to receive further information about the processing as well as copies of the data (see also Art. 15 GDPR);
• to have inaccurate or incomplete data corrected or completed (see also Art. 16 GDPR);
• to the immediate erasure of data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR), or alternatively – where further processing is necessary pursuant to Art. 17(3) GDPR – to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
• to receive the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have such data transmitted to other providers/controllers (see also Art. 20 GDPR);
• to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them are being processed by the provider in breach of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

Furthermore, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data have been disclosed of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 16, 17(1), and 18 GDPR. This obligation does not apply if such notification proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Irrespective of this, users have the right to obtain information about these recipients.

Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of their data by the provider pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for direct marketing purposes is permissible.

3. Data Processing When Visiting the Website

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply, unless statutory retention obligations prevent deletion or unless otherwise specified below.

3.1 Server Data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data are transmitted by your internet browser to us or to our webspace provider. These so-called server log files record the type and version of your browser, the operating system, the website from which you came to our site (referrer URL), the pages you visit on our website, the date and time of your access, as well as the IP address of the internet connection from which the use is made.

This data is stored temporarily, but not together with any other data about you.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after no more than seven days unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In such a case, all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the relevant incident has been conclusively resolved.

3.2 Cookies

3.2.1 Session Cookies
We use cookies. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that your internet browser places and stores on your device. These cookies store certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR insofar as the data processing is necessary for initiating or fulfilling a contract. In all other cases, it is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

3.2.2 Third-Party Cookies
Where applicable, we also use cookies from partner companies. These cookies may be stored for longer than a single session. The storage period depends on the respective settings and policies of the third-party providers and may range from a few minutes to several months. Further information – in particular on the legal basis and the purposes of data collection – can be found in the privacy policies and cookie policies of the respective providers (e.g., Mapbox, YouTube, Monotype).

3.2.3 Disabling Cookies
You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings or delete cookies that have already been stored. The steps required for this depend on the browser you are using. In the case of Flash cookies, you must change the settings of your Flash player. If cookies are blocked, some functions of our website may not be fully available.

We use Matomo (formerly PIWIK), an open-source software tool for analyzing the use of our website. Data collected include, for example, IP address, pages accessed, referrer URL, and duration of visit. Matomo does not set any cookies.
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our website.
We use Matomo with the “Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs” function. In this process, your IP address is shortened by two bytes so that it can no longer be attributed to you or your internet connection.

We use the Mapbox API to display maps, a service provided by Mapbox Inc., 740 15th Street NW, 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, USA. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website. When you access a page containing Mapbox, a cookie may be set and your IP address transmitted to Mapbox in the USA.
