On this page we inform you about the processing of your personal data on the website.

How we collect and use your personal data depends on how you interact with us or which services you use. We only collect, use or share your personal data if we have a legitimate purpose and a legal basis for doing so.

What do we mean by legal basis?

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR)-You have given us your consent to process your personal data for the specific purpose that we have explained to you. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. For more information on how you can withdraw your consent, please refer to the subsections ‘Exercising your rights’ in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Contract (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR) -We need to use your data to fulfil a contract you have with us. Alternatively, it is necessary to use your data because we have asked you to do so or you have taken certain steps yourself before entering into this contract.

Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR) - We must use your data to comply with the law.

Vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR) -The processing of your data is necessary to protect your vital interests or those of another person. For example, to protect you from serious physical harm.

Public task (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e GDPR) -The processing of your data is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or because it is covered by a task defined by law, e.g. for a statutory function.

Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para.1 p.1 lit. f GDPR) -The processing of your data is necessary to support a legitimate interest that we or another party have, only if your own interests do not outweigh this.

Please note that we may not be able to provide you with our website services if your data is processed to fulfil a contract or a legal obligation and you do not provide the requested data.

Data sharing and international transfer

As explained in this Privacy Policy, we use various service providers to help us provide our services and ensure the security of your data. When we use these service providers, it is necessary for us to share your personal data with them.

We have concluded agreements with all service providers to whom we pass on your data, which oblige them to protect your data.

If your personal data is transferred outside the EU, we will ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection, either because the country to which your data is transferred has an ‘adequate’ standard of data protection according to the European Commission, or by applying another safeguard, such as an enhanced contractual arrangement, i.e. the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission.

For example, when we use US service providers, we rely on either the SCCs or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, depending on the provider. You can request a copy of the SCCs we have entered into with our service providers by sending an email to the email address provided in this Privacy Policy.

4. right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Art. 17 GDPR)

Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (in particular the postcode) is only read out and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by using a VPN or proxy server, for example, which prevent precise localisation. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (if supported by the respective browser).

Use of Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

1. scope of the processing of personal data

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”).

Google Analytics analyses how visitors use our website. In doing so, Google places cookies on your device. During your visit, user interactions are recorded in the form of “events”. This may result in the collection and analysis of personal data, including but not limited to:

First visit to the website
Interaction with the website and user journey
Clicks on external links
Use of videos

We use the User-ID feature. The User-ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions), enabling us to analyse user behaviour across devices.

By default, IP anonymisation is activated in GA4. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other Google data in connection with Google Analytics.

Further information on how Google processes your data can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

2. purpose of data processing

The use of GA4 serves the purpose of analysing the usage of our online presence and generating reports on website activity. These reports help us evaluate the performance of our website and enable the targeted display of advertising to individuals who have already shown initial interest through their visit to our website.
