Privacy policy

Scope
This privacy policy informs users, in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act, about the type, scope, and purpose of the data transmitted when using this website.

Note: When data is transmitted over the Internet, security vulnerabilities can generally occur. Complete protection against access by third parties is not feasible.

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Insofar as we obtain the data subject’s consent for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

 Access Data
The site provider temporarily collects data about website access and stores it as “server log files.” The following data is recorded:

• Pages visited
• Time of visit
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/referrer that led you to the page (e.g., search engine results page)
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• Anonymized IP address
• If applicable, hostname (shortened)

IP addresses are automatically anonymized by the provider, and only the domain part of the hostname is stored—if available—so that no conclusions can be drawn about individuals. The collected data is stored in a text file but can be visualized in charts using statistical software. These data are used solely for statistical analyses to improve and protect the website. This software is part of the hosting provider’s standard features, regardless of whether we use it.

Cookies from this Website
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. This website uses only technically necessary session cookies, which are automatically deleted once the browser is closed. Session cookies do not require consent.

Common browsers allow you to disable cookies in the settings, typically found under “Settings → Privacy and Security.” The exact wording may vary depending on the browser.

Cookies, Services, and Third-Party Content
Embedded or linked content such as JavaScript libraries or fonts delivered via third-party servers may establish connections or store cookies. Therefore, we use such applications directly on our own web space so that no connection to the provider is created.

Handling of Personal Data
The website operator does not independently collect or store personal data such as names, addresses, or phone numbers—unless the user voluntarily sends them, for example by mail or email.

Server log files, however, are stored. More information about these can be found in the “Access Data” section at the beginning of this privacy policy.

Handling of Contact Data
If you contact the website operator using the provided contact options, your details will be stored so they can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Linked Websites
This privacy policy does not apply to websites of other providers that we link to via hyperlinks.

Conclusion of a Data Processing Agreement
To ensure data processing complies with data protection regulations, we have concluded a data processing agreement with our hosting provider.

User Rights: Access, Rectification, and Deletion
Upon request, you as the user will receive free information about which personal data concerning you has been stored. Unless your request conflicts with a legal obligation to retain data (e.g., mandatory data retention), you have the right to correct incorrect data and to have your personal data blocked or deleted.

For responsible contact persons regarding data protection matters, please refer to our legal notice.
