Definitions
Our privacy policy should be simple and understandable for everyone. This privacy policy generally uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official definitions are explained in Article 4 of the GDPR.

Access to and storage of information in terminal equipment
By using our website, information (e.g., IP address) may be accessed or information (e.g., cookies) may be stored in your terminal equipment. This access or storage may be associated with further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.
In cases where such access to information or storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of § 25 para. 1 sentence 1, para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG.
In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g., the needs-based design of our website), this is done on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG only with your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time for the future. The provisions of the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply to the processing of your personal data.
Further information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal bases in this context can be found in the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.

Web hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The hosting of this website takes place in Germany. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the host’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, website accesses, and other data generated through a website.
We collect the listed data in order to ensure a smooth connection setup of the website and a technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data is absolutely necessary to make the website available to you. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the correct presentation and functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider in accordance with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we obligate them to protect our customers’ data and not to pass it on to third parties.

Server Log Files
When you visit our website, it is technically necessary for data to be transmitted to our web server via your internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
⦁ Date and time of the request
⦁ Name of the requested file
⦁ Page from which the file was requested
⦁ Access status
⦁ Web browser and operating system used
⦁ (Complete) IP address of the requesting computer

We collect the listed data to ensure a smooth connection setup of the website and to guarantee a technically error-free provision of our services.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in protecting and maintaining the functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, this data is stored by us for a short period of time. After 30 days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address to the domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user.
In anonymized form, the data may also be processed for statistical purposes. At no time is this data stored together with other personal data of the user, compared with other data sets, or passed on to third parties.
