USE OF COOKIES
We use cookies in compliance with the legal regulations. Therefore, we obtain prior consent from users, unless not required by law.
Notes on legal bases for data protection:
The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies depends on whether we request consent from users. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is the consent given. Otherwise, data processed by cookies will be processed based on our legitimate interests (e.g., for the efficient operation of our online offerings and improving usability) or, where necessary, to fulfill our contractual obligations. The purposes for which cookies are processed will be explained in this privacy notice or in the context of our consent and processing procedures.
Storage duration:
The following types of cookies are distinguished in terms of their storage duration:
- Temporary cookies (Session cookies): These cookies are deleted as soon as the user leaves the online service and closes their device (e.g., browser or mobile app).
- Permanent cookies: These cookies remain stored even after the device is closed. Unless we provide explicit information about the type and duration of cookies (e.g., during consent collection), users should assume that cookies are permanent and may be stored for up to two years.
General notes on revocation and objection (opt-out):
Users can revoke their consent at any time and also object to processing in accordance with the legal provisions of Article 21 GDPR. Users can express their objection through their browser settings, for example, by disabling cookies (although this may limit the functionality of our online services).
DATA USE FOR NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIPTION
When you subscribe to our newsletter, we use the data required for this purpose or data that you provide separately, to send you our email newsletter on a regular basis. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, either by sending a message to the contact option described below or through a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter.
PLUGINS AND EMBEDDED FUNCTIONS AND CONTENT
We integrate functional and content elements from third-party servers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) into our online offering. These may include graphics, videos, or maps (collectively referred to as “content”). Integration always requires that third-party providers process the IP address of users because, without the IP address, they could not send the content to the users’ browsers.
Processed data types: Usage data (e.g., visited websites, content interest, access times); meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses); location data (information on the geographic position of a device or person).
Affected persons: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of processing: Provision of our online offerings and user-friendliness.
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

SECURITY MEASURES
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, considering the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing as well as the likelihood and extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure an adequate level of protection against risks.
These measures include ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data through control of physical and electronic access to the data, as well as the access, input, transmission, availability, and separation of the data. Additionally, we have implemented procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, data deletion, and responses to data threats. Furthermore, we consider data protection already in the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principles of privacy by design and privacy by default.
DATA DELETION
The data we process will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements once the consent for processing is withdrawn or other permissions lapse (e.g., if the purpose of processing no longer applies or if they are no longer necessary for the purpose). If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted to these purposes. This means the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. For example, this applies to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons or that is necessary for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person.
CHANGES AND UPDATES TO THE PRIVACY POLICY
We recommend that you regularly review the content of our privacy policy. We will update the privacy policy whenever changes in the data processing we conduct make this necessary. We will inform you if any changes require your participation (e.g., consent) or any other individual notification.
If we provide addresses and contact details of companies and organizations in this privacy policy, please note that these addresses may change over time, and we ask you to check the information before contacting them.
RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT
You have the rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, withdrawal, and objection. In certain cases, one or more of these rights may not be fully applicable or may be limited due to legal restrictions and technical possibilities. If we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you have the right to object to the processing. In the event of your objection, we will review the situation and either stop or adjust the data processing or explain to you our compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
To exercise your rights, please contact:
