Data Protection Officer

We are not legally obliged to appoint a data protection officer. If you have any questions about data protection, please contact us directly using the details above.

What is it about?

This privacy policy fulfills the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.

Who receives my data?

We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In addition, in individual cases we pass on personal data to third parties if this serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf as part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, they may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more information on the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.

Please note that in the case of contracts concluded with third parties on our website, the respective third parties are responsible for the fulfillment of any information obligations and in this respect also act as the responsible body for the following use of data.

We have integrated Google reCAPTCHA components on our website. Google reCAPTCHA is a service of Google Ireland Limited and enables us to distinguish whether a contact request comes from a natural person or is automated by means of a program. When you access this content, you establish a connection to the servers of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. In addition, Google reCAPTCHA records the time spent on the website and the user’s mouse movements in order to distinguish between automated and human requests. This data is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of Google reCAPTCHA.

Purpose and legal basis

The use of Google reCAPTCHA is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG.

Storage duration

The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google reCAPTCHA: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

Possible third country transfer

When using this service, we cannot rule out the possibility that data may be transferred to third countries, specifically the USA. By consenting to the use of this service, you also consent to the processing of your data in the USA in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. The USA is regarded by the ECJ as a country with an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data will be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes – possibly without the possibility of legal recourse.
