III. - General information on data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We only process the personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. We generally only process our users
personal data after obtaining the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1) a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis for the processing
of personal data. Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1) b GDPR is the legal basis.
This also applies to processing that is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation imposed on our company,
Art. 6(1) c GDPR is the legal basis. Where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests,
fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6(1) f GDPR is the legal basis for processing.
3. Data erasure and storage duration
The user's personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in
EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is
a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
IV. - Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the visiting computer. The following data are collected:
• Date, time, access status (file found, not found, etc.) and the request that your browser has sent to the server
• The amount of data transferred and the website from which you accessed the requested page, and
• The individual pages that you visit on our website
• The product and version information of the browser used (user agent) as well as the preferred language set
• The IP address of the user.
The data are also stored in our system's log files. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6(1) f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data are stored in log files to ensure the correct functioning of the website. In addition, the data help us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
The data are not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context. Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1) f GDPR also lies in these purposes.
4. Duration of storage
The personal data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website,
this is the case when the session in question has ended. If the data are stored in log files, this is the case after one month at the latest. Further storage is possible in anonymous form.
In this case, the IP addresses of the users are erased or distorted, so that it is no longer possible to allocate the visiting client.
5. Objection and elimination option
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, it is not possible for the user to object.

For these features, it is necessary for the browser to be recognized even after a page change.
We need cookies for the following applications:

the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1) b GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
We only process personal data for the purpose of processing the establishment of contact. Where contact is made by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest
in the processing of the data.
4. Duration of storage
The personal data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those
that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the particular conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is finished when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question
has been clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be erased after three months at the latest.
5. Objection and elimination option
The user is able to withdraw his consent to the processing of his personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he may object to the storage of his personal data at any time.
In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. To withdraw his declaration of consent, the user only has to notify us of this. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be
erased in this case.
VII. - Processing of data in countries outside the European Economic Area

If there is no adequacy decision by the Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR for the third country concerned, i.e. there is no adequate level of data protection in the third country, we ensure through
contractual provisions (standard EU contractual clauses on data protection) or other suitable guarantees as defined by Art. 46 GDPR that your privacy and your personal data are also adequately and legally
protected in the company in the third country.

Under the following conditions, you may request that the processing of your personal data be restricted:
(1) if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data for a period of time that enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2) the processing is unlawful and you reject the erasure of the personal data and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted;
(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the processing purposes, but you need them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or
(4) if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller override your reasons.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may only be processed apart from being stored with your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending
legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the processing restriction has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be notified by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Erasure obligation
You may ask the controller to erase your personal data immediately. The controller is then obliged to erase these data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) your personal data are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
(2) you withdraw your consent on which the processing pursuant to Art. 6(1) a or Art. 9(2) a GDPR was based and there is no other legal basis for processing;

Where the controller has made your personal data public and if he is obliged to erase the data pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, he will take reasonable steps, including technical measures,
taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform controllers who are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure
of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which makes processing necessary under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out
in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2) h and i as well as Art. 9(3) GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, to the extent that the right referred to in a)
is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing, or
(5) for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
5. Right to notification
Where you have exercised your right to have the controller rectify, erase or restrict the processing, he is obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed
of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate amount of effort.
You have the right vis-á-vis the controller to be notified of such recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass these data
on to another controller without obstruction by the controller to whom the personal data were provided, provided that
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) a GDPR or Art. 9(2) a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1) b GDPR, and
(2) processing is carried out using automated methods.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that your personal data be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, to the extent that this is technically feasible.
The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be impaired by this.
The right to data portability will not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
7. Right to object
You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data, which is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1) e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling
based on these provisions. The controller will then no longer process your personal data unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests,
rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing;
this also applies to profiling, to the extent that it is associated with such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You may exercise your right to object in connection with the use of information society services Directive 2002/58/EC notwithstanding by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw the data protection declaration of consent
You have the right to withdraw the data protection declaration of consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the legality of processing carried out on the basis of consent before withdrawal.
9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing including profiling that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner.
This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is admissible due to Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and this legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
(3) takes place with your express consent. However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2) a or g applies and appropriate measures have been
taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests. When using our website, the user is not subject to any such automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling.
10. Right of complaint to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside
or work or where you suspect infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint,
including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
