all other natural persons who are in contact with us, e.g. representatives of legal

Data we receive over the Internet

General retrievable data / log files: For technical reasons, every time a website is accessed, data is transmitted from your computer to us, such as the date and time of you visiting one of our pages, your browser type, the browser settings and the operating system, the last page you visited, the amount of data transmitted and the access status (file transfer, file not found etc.). This data is considered to be regular non-personal data. In addition, however, your computer usually also sends us your IP address, which in individual cases may be personal. We use the log file data solely to ensure the functionality of our services (such as failure analysis, system security, and protection against misuse).
Cookies: To make visiting of our website easier, we transfer so-called cookies to your computer. Cookies are small text files that can be used to identify your computer. They do not interfere with the operating system of your computer. Among other things, we use cookies to measure and control the frequency of page views and general site navigation. You can block the use of cookies. Under certain circumstances, however, individual functions of our offer might not be used. To block the use of cookies, please also refer to the instructions for your browser software.
Details of your IP address: Your IP address, which in many cases is sent to us, is a globally valid identifier of your computer that is unique at the time of assignment by your internet service provider. An IP address consists of four numbered blocks separated by dots. In most cases, you as a private user will not use a consistent IP address, since you will only be assigned this temporarily by your provider (so-called „dynamic IP address“). Your provider can sort out which IP address was assigned to which of its clients at what time. For other people, including us, the recording of assignment of a dynamic IP address to a specific person is usually not possible. This is different only in the case of a permanently assigned IP address (so-called „static IP address“), which in principle makes possible a clear assignment of the user data via this feature. Except for the purpose of tracking unauthorized access to our offer on the Internet, we generally consider this data to be non-personal, but evaluate it only on an anonymous basis, to detect which of our sites are favoured, how many accesses are made daily and the like.

Statistics Assessment Tools

For individual services of our enterprise we collect additional data. These are partially used for statistical purposes. For example, it shows how often our pages are accessed so we can graph out the basics for our media data. In addition, we also want to get an overview of our online offers which are particularly in demand.

Plugins

Plugins are offers from third party companies such as Google. They help you to connect to these providers. Sometimes only data about the browser performance is transmitted. However, if you actively use plugins (for example, within your Google profile), this information will also be transferred. Below you can find out more about the individual plugins:
On our website we do not use any plugins.

Analytics Tools

This website is hosted by Wix (www.wix.com), which may collect usage data for this website. The visit analysis is completely anonymous.
The data on visitor behavior is collected to find out any problems such as pages not found, search engine problems or unpopular pages. Once the data (number of visitors who see error pages or only one page, etc.) is processed, Wix generates reports for website owners to act on. (layout changes, new content, etc.).
Such data can be:

Cookies
Anonymized IP addresses
Pseudo-anonymized location (based on the anonymized IP address
Date and time
Title of the accessed page
URL of the accessed page
URL of the previous page (if allowed)
Screen resolution
Local time
Files that were clicked and downloaded
External links
Duration of page load
Country, region, city (with low accuracy due to IP address)
Main language of the browser
User agent of the browser
Interactions with forms (but not their content)

Embedded Google Maps

On our website the map service Google Maps is connected via an API. The provider of the service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. In order to use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is typically transmitted and stored at Google servers in the United States. As merely a provider of access to this site we have no influence on the data transmission.

• Data processing with your consent (Article 6 (1a) GDPR)

This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent which you have submitted to us before the validity of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), i.e. before 25/05/18.

In all these cases, we ensure that third parties only have access to personal data that is necessary for the performance of individual tasks. In addition, we make sure that third parties comply with industry-specific best practices and that the data of third parties is handled securely and confidentially and used only for the purposes we have identified.

For third parties outside the European Economic Space (EES), the protection of personal data is handled differently from in the EES. In such cases, we take precautionary measures (such as special contract clauses) to ensure that your personal information is treated with the same care as in the EES.

Very important: Under no circumstances will we sell personal information to third parties.
