Storage Period
Unless a more specific retention period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, erasure will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obligated to release personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Data Collection on Our Website
Server Log Files
With every visit to our website, it is technically unavoidable that certain data is transmitted to us via your web browser. This generally includes:
• IP address
• Date and time of the request
• Name of the requested file
• Amount of data transmitted
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Website from which the request originates
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
We require this data to enable a smooth and comfortable use of our website. In addition, this data is necessary to be able to track down potential abusive attacks on the system.
In doing so, we refer, on the one hand, to our legitimate interest in being able to offer you a website (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR). On the other hand, to the provision of data to law enforcement authorities in the event of potential legal violations (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c GDPR).
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
The data will only be passed on to our hosting service provider. Transfer to countries outside the EU is not intended.
Cookies
This website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are deposited and stored on your computer by the internet browser you use. Through these cookies, certain information such as visited websites, location data, and IP addresses are assigned to an internet browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. These are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
Cookies are used to make the visit to the website more comfortable, effective, and secure, e.g., to offer the user their preferred language. In doing so, we refer to our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR to be able to provide the visitor to our website with technically error-free and optimized services.
Cookies from other companies are also used on our website for the purposes of advertising, analysis, and functionality (third-party cookies). For more detailed information on this, please refer to the corresponding statements in this privacy policy. Insofar as consent to the storage of these cookies has been requested, this storage takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Please note that if cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Consent with Borlabs Cookie
Our website uses the consent technology of Borlabs Cookie to obtain your consent to store certain cookies in your browser or to use certain technologies, and to document this in a data protection-compliant manner. The provider of this technology is Borlabs – Benjamin A. Bornschein, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg (hereinafter referred to as Borlabs).
When you enter our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consents you have granted or the revocation of these consents are stored. This data is not passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie. The collected data will be stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Details on data processing by Borlabs Cookie can be found at https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/. The Borlabs cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c GDPR.
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
Server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and are subsequently deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, for example, to be able to investigate cases of abuse. If data must be retained for evidentiary purposes, it is exempted from deletion until the incident has been conclusively resolved. For this duration, processing of the data is restricted.
Contact Form
Contacting Us
On our website, we offer a contact form to allow you to get in touch with us on a voluntary basis. Within the scope of the contact form, we collect the following data: first name, last name, email, telephone number, as well as the message you wish to transmit to us regarding your inquiry.
Social Media
Our Social Media Presence
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found further below. Social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not possess an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your terminal device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this manner, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both inside and outside the respective social media presence. Insofar as you possess an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details on this, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.
Legal Basis
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive possible presence on the Internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on alternative legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Controller and Assertion of Rights
When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible, together with the operator of the social media platform, for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook).
Please note that, despite sharing joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our capabilities are determined layout significantly by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage Period
Data directly collected by us via our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details on this, please inform yourself directly from the operators of the social networks (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
Social Networks in Detail
The controller has integrated components of Pinterest Inc. on this website. Pinterest is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or it enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information.
Pinterest enables users of the social network to, among other things, publish image collections and individual images as well as descriptions on virtual pinboards (so-called pinning), which can then in turn be shared (so-called repinned) or commented on by other users. The operating company of Pinterest is Pinterest Inc., 808 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. Through each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Pinterest component (Pinterest plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Pinterest component to download a representation of the corresponding Pinterest component from Pinterest.
More information about Pinterest is available at https://pinterest.com/. Within the scope of this technical process, Pinterest gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged into Pinterest at the same time, Pinterest recognizes with each call-up of our website by the data subject, and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting.
This information is collected by the Pinterest component and assigned by Pinterest to the respective Pinterest account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks a Pinterest button integrated into our website, Pinterest assigns this information to the personal Pinterest user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Pinterest always receives information via the Pinterest component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Pinterest at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Pinterest component or not.
If such a transmission of this information to Pinterest is not intended by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Pinterest account before calling up our website. The privacy policy published by Pinterest, which is available at https://about.pinterest.com/privacy-policy, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Pinterest.

According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the legally secure implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook.

As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
