2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When using our website purely for informational purposes (i.e. without registering or submitting information), we only collect data your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). This includes:

  • Visited website
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address (possibly in anonymized form)

This processing is carried out based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be disclosed or used otherwise. However, we reserve the right to review the log files retrospectively if there is concrete evidence of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., inquiries), our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line and the lock symbol in your browser.

3) Cookies

We use cookies to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are deleted automatically when you close the browser (“session cookies”), others remain longer and save page settings (“persistent cookies”). The duration of storage can be found in your browser’s cookie settings.

If personal data is processed by cookies, this is done on the basis of:

  • Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – if necessary for contract execution,
  • Article 6(1)(a) GDPR – if consent is given,
  • Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in optimal website functionality and a user-friendly experience.

You can set your browser to inform you about cookie usage and allow or deny them selectively. Please note that the functionality of our website may be limited if cookies are disabled.

4) Contacting Us

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected depends on the form used. This data is used solely for responding to your inquiry and related technical processes.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in processing your request (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). If the contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once the inquiry has been resolved unless legal retention obligations require otherwise.

5) Web Analytics

1&1 IONOS WebAnalytics
This website uses the analytics service provided by:
1&1 IONOS Internet SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

Using cookies and similar technologies (e.g., tracking pixels, web beacons), pseudonymized visitor data is collected and stored, including IP address and browser details. The data is used for statistical analysis and to create pseudonymized user profiles (e.g., heatmaps of visitor interactions). Direct personal identification is excluded.

All described processing activities are carried out only with your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your settings in the website’s cookie consent tool.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure protection of your personal data and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

6) Tools and Miscellaneous

Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a cookie consent tool to obtain valid user consents for the use of cookies. When visiting the website, users are shown an interface where they can grant or deny consent for specific cookie categories.

Only after consent is granted, cookies requiring such consent are set on the user’s device. The tool itself sets technically necessary cookies to store your preferences. No personal data is processed unless, in individual cases, IP addresses or other identifiers are used for consent management.

In such cases, processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR – our legitimate interest in legally compliant and user-friendly consent management. Additionally, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies due to our legal obligation to obtain consent for non-essential cookies.

If necessary, we have concluded a processing agreement with the provider of the consent tool.

Further details are available in the user interface of the consent tool on our website.

7) Data Subject Rights

According to the GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
  • Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
  • Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
  • Right to be informed (Art. 19 GDPR)
  • Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
  • Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7(3) GDPR)
  • Right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77 GDPR)

8) Right to Object

IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON OUR LEGITIMATE INTERESTS (ARTICLE 6(1)(f) GDPR), YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION.

If you object, we will cease processing the affected data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME. In such a case, we will stop processing your data for direct marketing purposes immediately.

9) Data Retention

The duration of storage depends on:

  • the legal basis for processing
  • the purpose of processing
  • applicable statutory retention periods (e.g., commercial or tax-related)

If processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), your data will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

Data processed for contractual purposes (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) is retained until contractual obligations are fulfilled or no longer needed, unless legal retention periods require longer storage.

Data processed on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) is stored until you exercise your right to object unless overriding legal reasons or claims apply.

Unless otherwise specified in this policy, data is deleted when it is no longer necessary for its intended purpose.
