3.1. Personal Data

Personal data (hereinafter referred to as „data“) is information with the help of which a person can be determined, i.e. information that can be traced back to a person. This includes, for example, the name, email address or telephone number. Likewise, data about preferences, „surfing behavior“ (which websites are visited) or even the IP address.

3.2. Terms according to GDPR

This privacy statement is based on the terms used in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With regard to the terminology used, such as „processing“, „controller“ or „profiling“, we refer to the definitions in Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

3.3. Processing Scope

The use of this website is generally possible without providing personal data. In principle, we always process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to our company. The collection and use of personal data of our users is only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations. Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as our legal basis.

3.4. Technical measures

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, which is why absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

3.5. Encryption

Our website is delivered via the secure http protocol (https). According to the current state of technology, this SSL encryption ensures that third parties cannot read or modify transmitted data. This applies both to the content of the site and to data that you send to us by using forms. This website uses the certificate from Let’s Encrypt. You can find more technical information about the implementation of the SSL certificate here.

4. Statistical analysis

4.1. Server Log Files

This website is hosted by Raidboxes GmbH, D-48153 Münster/Germany in accordance with the GDPR. According to the provider, the common access and connection data – such as the name of the requested file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider – are stored in so-called „server log files“. These data are evaluated exclusively to ensure trouble-free operation of the site and to improve the user friendliness of our website and do not allow the provider or us to draw any conclusions about your person. A data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider, as well as information on the technical/organizational measures are available. You can also obtain further information on data protection directly from the provider.

5. Special functionalities of the website

5.1. External content, processing of data outside the EU

It may happen that third-party content, such as maps from Google Maps, YouTube videos or information from other websites, is integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as „third-party providers“) perceive the IP address of the user, because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we will inform you about it within the scope of this privacy policy.

 

JavaScript content from external providers may also be used on our website. By calling up our website, these external providers may receive personal information about your visit. This may involve the processing of data outside the EU. You can prevent this by installing a JavaScript blocker such as the browser plugin ‚NoScript‘ or deactivating JavaScript in your browser. This may result in functional restrictions.

Lawfullness of Processing

The use of the components listed here is (unless otherwise stated) based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1 lit. f of the DSGVO. Our interest is directed towards the economic operation of our offer and the use of a user-friendly and secure website that meets the usual user expectations and offers a consistent user experience on all common devices.

5.2. Cookies

Cookies are files that enable specific information related to the device to be stored on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone or similar). On one hand, they serve the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on website usage and to be able to analyze it for the purpose of improving the Usability of the Website. Users can influence the use of these cookies. Most browsers have an option that restricts or completely prevents the storage of cookies; it is possible that website functions will then not be available or only available to a limited extent.

In the process, usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform the users according to our state of knowledge. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and store his or her IP address. Further information on Facebook’s privacy policy can be found here.
