III. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
In principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior obtaining of consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, then Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or erasure of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

1. Scope of processing of personal data
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House Barrow Street Dublin 4, D04E5W5 Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. Our legitimate interest in the processing of data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

IX. Use of web fonts
On these web pages, external fonts, Google Fonts, are used. Google Fonts is a service of Google Inc. (“Google”). The integration of these web fonts is carried out by a server call, usually a server of Google in the USA. Through this, it is transmitted to the server which of our web pages you have visited.

X. Integration of third-party services and content
It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites, is integrated into our website. This always requires that the providers of this content perceive your IP address, because without the IP address they could not send the content to your browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We strive to only use such content whose respective providers only use the IP address for the delivery of the content.
Within the website, YouTube videos of the third-party provider Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, are used in particular. The privacy policy of Google, Inc. can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out options for Google’s data usage at: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/. The YouTube videos are, where possible, used in the extended privacy mode, whereby user data is only transmitted to YouTube when the videos are called up.
We use the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and easy findability of the locations specified by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. The information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this page has no influence on this data transfer.
Data processing takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such evaluation takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.
For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing, please refer to the provider’s privacy policies. There you will also receive further information about your related rights and setting options to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted according to the above-mentioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase
You can demand that the controller erase the personal data concerning you without delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase them pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, it shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – you have the possibility to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw the data protection declaration of consent
You have the right to withdraw your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests or
(3) is made with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which includes at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express one’s point of view, and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted informs the complainant about the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
