Thank you for visiting our website. In this Policy, we would like to inform you about how we handle your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Controller
The Controller for the data processing operations described below is the office named in the imprint.
Usage Data
When you visit our website, our web server temporarily evaluates usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data consists of the following data categories:
• — the name and address of the requested content,
• — the date and time of the query,
• — of the transferred data volume,
• — the access status (content transferred, content not found),
• — the description of the used web browser and operating system,
• — the referral link, which indicates from which page you reached ours,
• — the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened in such a way that a personal reference can no longer be established.
The above-mentioned log data will only be evaluated anonymously.
Data Security
We take technical and organizational measures to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access. These measures include encryption procedures on our web pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption.
You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.
Necessary Cookies
On our website, we use cookies which are necessary in order for the site to function.
Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit.
A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session.
We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes.
In some cases, these cookies only contain information on certain settings and cannot be linked to a person. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and implementation of the site.
The legal basis for using these cookies is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This is in order to make the use of cookies transparent for you.
You can also delete cookies or prevent the setting of new cookies at any time by using the appropriate browser settings.
Please note that if you delete certain cookies, our web pages may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be available.
Content Delivery Network
We use the content delivery network (CDN) “Instagram CDN” to properly deliver the content of our website. Instagram CDN is a service of Instagram, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. A CDN helps to provide content of our online service, in particular files such as graphics or scripts, more quickly with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you establish a connection to servers of Instagram, Inc., whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed solely for the above purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of Instagram CDN.
We would like to point out that your data collected via the service may be transmitted and processed outside the area of the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the GDPR may not be complied with and that the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may be difficult.
The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in a secure and efficient provision as well as the optimisation of our online offer according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Instagram, Inc.
Further information can be found in the Instagram privacy policy: https://www.instagram.com/legal/privacy/
Webfonts
For a consistent appearance of our site, we use so-called web fonts, which are provide by MyFonts (MyFonts Inc., 500 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA). When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
Calling up our websites will lead to downloading contents of the third-party providers who provide these functions and contents. As a result, the third-party provider receives the information that you have visited our site as well as the usage data technically required for this purpose.
We have no control on further data processing by the third-party provider.
The implementation is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to serve our legitimate interest of making our site as attractive and informative as possible.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
Further information on MyFonts can be found at http://www.myfonts.com/info/terms-and-conditions/#Privacy.
Data Processors
We transfer your data to service providers who support us in the operation of our websites and related processes. These service providers are usually data processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. Our service providers are strictly bound by contracts and our instructions.
