2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website
2.1 When using our website purely for informational purposes, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary to display the website to you:
Website visited
Date and time of access
Amount of data transmitted in bytes
Source/referrer from which you accessed the page
Browser used
Operating system used

Processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries sent to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network
For hosting our website and displaying page content, we use a provider who delivers its services itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers located within the European Union.
All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
4) Cookies
To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser (so-called session cookies), while others remain on your device for a longer period and enable the storage of page settings (so-called persistent cookies). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.
If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for contract execution, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR on the basis of consent, or pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective website experience.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually on their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.
Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.
5) Contacting Us
When contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or contacting you and the associated technical administration.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your inquiry is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your inquiry has been conclusively processed, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
6) Web Analytics Services
1&1 IONOS WebAnalytics
This website uses the web analytics service of the following provider:
1&1 IONOS Internet SE
Elgendorfer Str. 57
56410 Montabaur
Germany
Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used such as IP address and browser information, in order to statistically analyze user behavior on our website and create pseudonymized user profiles. This includes, among other things, the analysis of movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally excludes direct personal identification. No merging with other personal data collected by other means takes place.
All processing described above, in particular the reading or storage of information on the device used, is only carried out if you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
7) Site Functionalities
Google Maps
This website uses an online map service provided by:
Google Maps (API)
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House, 4 Barrow St
Dublin, D04 E5W5
Ireland (“Google”)
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually present geographical information. Using this service shows our location and makes it easier to find us.
When accessing subpages that include Google Maps, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there; this may also include transmission to servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether such an account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish this assignment, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
Collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR based on Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or designing Google websites to meet demand. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.
If you do not agree with the future transmission of your data to Google as part of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option to completely disable Google Maps by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus the map display on this website cannot then be used.
Where legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing described above pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the objection option described above.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING. YOU MAY EXERCISE YOUR OBJECTION AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
9) Duration of Storage of Personal Data
The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and—where applicable—by statutory retention periods (e.g., commercial and tax retention periods).
When processing personal data on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you revoke your consent.
If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the scope of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, such data is routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or initiation and no legitimate interest in further storage exists.
When personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, such data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
When personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, such data is stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy for specific processing situations, stored personal data is otherwise deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
