Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the personal data of our website visitors is only processed according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

 

  1. General information on data processing

In principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services and a legal basis allows us to do so.

 

Personal Data

Personal data is individual information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. Anonymized or statistical data that cannot be linked to your person or only with a disproportionate amount of effort are not personal data (Art. 4 Para. 1 No. 1 GDPR).

In principle, you can move around our website without revealing your identity. However, personal data is also generated when you visit our website, which is described in detail below.

 

Gathering of General Information

Personal data will only be collected, used and, if necessary, passed on by us if this is permitted by law. Legal permission for such processing is based on Art. 6 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, because

  • the data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are taken at the request of the data subject;
  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  • the processing is necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
  • the processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been assigned to the person responsible;
  • the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the person responsible or a third party, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require the protection of personal data do not prevail, in particular if the data subject is a child.

The personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Our website offers the option of entering personal or business data (e-mail addresses, names, addresses), e.g. to contact us using forms.

The use of such services and services by the user is expressly on a voluntary basis. In principle, you can use our website without disclosing your identity.

 

Server logging

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically recorded. This information (server log files) may contain the following data:

– Date and time of the request

– Name of the requested file

– Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)

– type of web browser and the operating system used

– Domain name of your internet service provider

– Full IP address of the requesting machine and similar

 

This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the content you have requested from websites and is mandatory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this type is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

 

Contact via e-mail

When you contact us by e-mail, the data you provide (name, address, e-mail address, telephone number) will be stored by us in order to answer your questions (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR). This information is provided expressly on a voluntary basis and with your consent, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a) GDPR. Insofar as this concerns information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may also contact you via this communication channel in order to answer your request. You can of course revoke this consent at any time for the future. In order to safeguard our legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR), we also use your personal data to inform you by post about new projects, for example. We also point out that communication by e-mail can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

 

Data transfer to third parties

We will not pass on your personal data to third parties unless you have given us your express consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR), we are not legally obliged to pass it on in individual cases (Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR) or it is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit f) GDPR). Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the operation of our website, e.g. to the hosting provider or to external service providers for technical support (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f).

 

Storage, deletion or blocking of the data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which we have collected and processed it, or as provided for by the various storage periods provided for by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted as a matter of routine and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

 

  1. Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your hard drive by a website server. As a result, we automatically receive certain data, e.g. B. IP address, browser used, operating system about your computer and your connection to the Internet.

Even before you can read the content of our website, we use a cookie manager on our start page to obtain your legally compliant consent to the use of technically unnecessary cookies. For this purpose, a cookie with the setting information is stored on the user's device when the website is accessed, so that consent does not have to be requested again when you visit our website again.

Cookies cannot be used to start programs or deliver viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable our websites to be displayed correctly.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or be linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how you can change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

The use of cookies is necessary for statistical evaluations and to improve our website and is based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.

 

  1. Link to profiles at third parties (social media)

In order to be able to contact you via social media, we use a link to Facebook and Instagram on our website. We would like to point out that you use the Facebook and Instagram pages and their functions at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

The plugin for the social media providers is integrated via a linked graphic, i.e. the user is only forwarded to the service of the respective social network by clicking on the corresponding graphic.

After forwarding, information about the user is recorded by the respective network. This is data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If you are logged in to your own Facebook or Instagram user account at the same time, the network operator may be able to allocate the information collected from the specific visit to your personal account.

The legal basis for linking to third-party profiles is our legitimate interest in improving the quality of use of our website (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Our website is linked to the following social media providers:

 

Facebook

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Serpentine Avenue, Block J, Dublin 4, Irland (bis 25.04.2023: 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Irland)

Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/center/

 

Instagram

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Serpentine Avenue, Block J, Dublin 4, Irland (bis 25.04.2023: 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Irland)

Privacy Policy: https://privacycenter.instagram.com

The social media provider describes what information Meta Platforms Ireland receives and how it is used in general terms in its privacy policy. There you will also find information on how to contact Meta Platforms Ireland and how to set up advertisements.

How Meta Platforms Ireland uses the data from visiting Facebook and Instagram pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook and Instagram pages are assigned to individual users, how long Meta Ireland. stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook and Instagram pages is passed on to third parties is not finally and clearly stated by Meta Platforms Ireland and is not known to us.

If you do not want content or advertising tailored to you based on your personal data, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device, exit your browser and restart it. In this way, Facebook information that can be used to identify you directly is deleted. This allows you to use our Facebook page without revealing your Facebook ID. When you access interactive features of the site (like, comment, share, message, etc.), a Facebook login screen appears. After you have logged in, you will be recognized again by Facebook as a specific user.

 

Integration of YouTube via youtube-nocookie.com

This website contains at least one plugin from YouTube, belonging to Google Inc., located in San Bruno/California, USA.

We use the YouTube No-Cookies function, i.e. we have activated extended data protection, videos are not accessed via youtube.com, but via youtube-nocookie.com.

YouTube provides this itself and thus ensures that YouTube will initially not save any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are called up, the IP address and the other data specified in Section 4 are transmitted and, in particular, it is communicated which of our Internet pages you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you if you are permanently logged in to YouTube or another Google service when you call up the page.

As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only saves cookies on your device that do not contain any personally identifiable data thanks to the extended data protection mode, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.

Google/YouTube: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland – Privacy Policy:  https://policies.google.com/privacy, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated, Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.

Cookies in connection with the integration of YouTube

This website uses the Youtube embedding function to display and play videos from Youtube. We use the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, only starts storing user information when the video is played. At the moment the embedded video starts playing, YouTube uses cookies to collect information about user behavior.

According to information from YouTube, these are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive practices.

Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played back, a connection to the Google network "DoubleClick" is established each time this website is accessed, which can trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

You can find more information on data protection on YouTube in the provider's data protection declaration at:

  1. Your rights to information, correction, blocking, deletion and objection

You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time (a detailed description of the scope of your right to information can be found in Art. 15 DSGVO). If, despite our efforts to ensure correct and up-to-date databases, it should nevertheless happen in individual cases that incorrect or incomplete personal data is stored by us, we will correct this immediately at your request (Art. 16 DSGVO). If you wish to have your personal data stored by us deleted, this request will be complied with immediately if deletion does not conflict with statutory documentation or storage obligations or processing rights (Article 17 GDPR). So that a blocking of data can be taken into account at any time, this data must be kept in a blocking file for control purposes.

As an alternative to deletion, you can only request the restriction of processing if you believe that the data is incorrect or the processing is unlawful or if the data is no longer needed but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (Article 18 GDPR). If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR).
