Notes on data processing

Automated data processing (log files etc.)

Our site can be visited without actively providing personal information about the user. However, we automatically store access data (server log files) each time the website is called up, such as the name of the Internet service provider, the operating system used, the website from which the user visited us, the date and duration of the visit or the name of the requested file, and for security reasons, e.g. to detect attacks on our website, the IP address of the terminal device used for a period of 7 days. These data are evaluated exclusively for the improvement of our offer and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the person of the user. A combination of this data with other data sources is not made.

We process and use the data for the following purposes:

provision of the website
improvement of our website
prevention and detection of errors/malfunctions as well as
misuse of the website

Legal basis:

Use of cookies (general, functionality, opt-out links, etc.)

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are a standard Internet technology for storing and retrieving login and other usage information for all users of the website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the end device. Among other things, they allow us to store user preferences so that our website can be displayed in a format tailored to the user device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e. after the browser is closed (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on the user's terminal device and enable us or our partner companies to recognize the browser on the next visit (so-called permanent cookies).

The browser can be set in such a way that the user is informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually about their acceptance or can exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. Further, the cookies can be deleted retrospectively to remove data that the website has stored on the user's computer. The deactivation of cookies (so-called opt-out) may lead to some restrictions in the functionality of our website.

Online marketing

In order to continuously increase our reach and the awareness of our online offer, we process personal data in the context of online marketing, in particular with regard to potential interests and measuring the effectiveness of our marketing measures. For the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of our marketing measures and identifying potential interests, relevant information is stored in cookies or similar procedures are used for this purpose. The data stored in the cookies may include content viewed, online sites visited, settings and functions and systems used. As a rule, however, no clear user data is processed for the purposes described. The data is then modified in such a way that the actual identity of the users is known neither to us nor to the provider of the tool used. The data modified in this way is often stored in user profiles.

In the event that user profiles are stored, the data can be read out, supplemented and added to on the server of the online marketing provider when visiting other online offers that use the same online marketing method. We can determine the success of our advertisements on the basis of aggregated data made available to us by the provider of the online marketing procedure (so-called conversion measurement). Within the scope of these conversion measurements, we can track whether a marketing measure has led to a purchase decision by the visitor to our online offering. This evaluation serves to analyze the success of our online marketing.

Categories of data subjects:
Website visitors, users of online services, interested parties, communication partners, business and contractual partners

Categories of data:
User data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta and communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses), location data, contact data, content data (e.g., textual information, photographs, videos)

Purposes of processing:
Marketing (including in part interest-based and behavioral), conversion measurement, targeting, click tracking, developing marketing strategies and increasing the efficiency of campaigns, coordination of different tools, management, ease of use and display

hCaptcha

We use the tool hCaptcha to protect our website from spam and bots. This allows you, as a user of our website, to confirm that you are not a robot. Cookies are processed in your browser in the process. This allows us to track users on all websites that use hCaptcha. hCaptcha is designed to avoid long-term data retention by relying on instant evaluation rather than recording and analyzing browsing history. We pass the data to hCaptcha to determine if the actions on our website are really from humans. The use of hCaptcha therefore serves the security of our website and, by extension, your security. The legal basis for this is your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time.
