When you use this website, various kinds of personal data are collected. Personal data refers to data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how we do so and for what purpose.

We would like to point out that data transfer over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) may entail security vulnerabilities. It is impossible to offer complete protection of data against access by third parties.

The Controller is the natural or legal person who either alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses etc.)

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent already given at any time. To do so, it is sufficient to send us an informal notification by email. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing is for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Article 21, (2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of any infringements of the GDPR, the data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the suspected infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have any data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, erasure and rectification

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge and at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to rectification or erasure of that data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the Imprint.
(see Article 17 (1) GDPR).

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the Imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the correctness of your personal data stored with us, we usually require some time to review this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may demand the restriction of data processing rather than erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data rather than its erasure.
  • If you have lodged a complaint pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh those of the other party concerned, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data, with the exception of its storage, may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Social media

Facebook plugins (Like and Share buttons)

Plugins from the social network Facebook are integrated into this website. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the United States and other third countries.

You can recognise Facebook’s plugins on this website by the Facebook logo or the ‘Like’ button. You can find an overview of Facebook’s plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit this website, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. In this way, Facebook receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Facebook ‘Like’ button while you are logged in to your Facebook account, you can link to contents of this website on your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by Facebook. More information on the processing of user data can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your email address and to its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by using the ‘Unsubscribe’ link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of your newsletter subscription will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. It will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you cancel your subscription. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

After you are removed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data on the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with the statutory requirements for the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The data is stored on the blacklist indefinitely. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
