Definitions
Our data protection declaration should be simple and understandable for everyone. The data protection declaration usually uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.
Access to and storage of information in end devices
By using our website, information (e.g. IP address) can be accessed or information (e.g. cookies) can be stored on your end devices. This access or storage can be associated with further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.
In cases where such access to information or such storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1, Paragraph 2 No. 2 TTDSG.
In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), this is done on the basis of Section 25 Paragraph 1 TTDSG only with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time for the future.
Further information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal bases in this context can be found in the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.
Data processing by visiting our website
When you visit our websites, it is technically necessary that data is transmitted to our web server via your Internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server:
Domain visited
Date and time of the request
Page from which the file was requested
Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
Web browser and operating system used
IP address of the requesting computer
Amount of data transferred
We collect the data listed in order to ensure that the website is connected smoothly and to enable users to use our website comfortably. The log file is also used to evaluate system security and stability, as well as for administrative purposes. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data or log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. For reasons of technical security, in particular to ward off attempts to attack our web server, we may store this data for a short time. We are unable to draw any conclusions about individual people based on this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a connection to the individual user. This data is not evaluated in any way except for statistical purposes in anonymized form. This data is not merged with data from other data sources.
Contact form and contact via email
If you send us inquiries via the contact form or email, your details from the inquiry form or your email, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will never pass on this data without your consent. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and, if applicable, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is aimed at concluding a contract. Your data will be deleted after your inquiry has been finally processed, provided that there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies, which are stored by the browser on your device and which contain certain settings for using the website (e.g. for the current session). Cookies are used to make our service more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close the browser. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or the storage period expires. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
Some of the cookies are used to simplify website processes by saving settings (e.g. keeping options that have already been selected). If personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either to execute the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

Most browsers also offer a so-called “Do-Not-Track” function that allows you to indicate that you do not want to be “tracked” by websites.

Facebook Pixel
This website uses Facebook’s visitor action pixel to measure conversions. 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 USA and other third countries.
This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.
The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy. This enables Facebook to enable advertisements to be placed on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. We as the website operator cannot influence this use of the data.
The use of Facebook pixels is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the ad settings area at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
