Collection of general information when visiting our website

Nature and purpose of the processing:

When you access our website, i.e. when you do not register or otherwise submit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address and similar.
They are processed in particular for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
  • Ensuring a smooth use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability and
  • to optimize our website.

We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Information of this kind will be statistically evaluated by us, anonymously if necessary, in order to optimize our Internet presence and the technology behind it.

Legal basis and legitimate interest:

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Receiver:

Storage duration:

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of collection. This is generally the case for the data used to provide the website, when the respective session has ended.
In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after 14 days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

Provision required or necessary:

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is not required by law or contract. Without the IP address, however, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services may not be available or may be restricted. For this reason an objection is excluded.

Use of Typekit web fonts from Adobe Fonts

We use Typekit web fonts from Adobe Fonts for the visual design of our website. Adobe Fonts is a service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies (4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland; hereinafter “Adobe”), which grants us access to a font library.

To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must establish a connection to an Adobe server in the USA and download the font required for our website. This provides Adobe with the information that our website was accessed from your IP address.

Further information on Adobe Fonts can be found in the Adobe Fonts privacy policy, which you can access here: https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/policies/adobe-fonts.html.

If your browser does not support web fonts or you do not give your consent, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Withdrawal of consent:


No option is currently offered by the provider to simply opt-out or block data transfer. If you wish to prevent your activities on our website from being tracked, please revoke your consent for the relevant cookie category or all technically unnecessary cookies and data transfers in the cookie consent tool. In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website or only to a limited extent.

Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)

In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use „Google Web Fonts“ from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter „Google“) to display fonts on this website.
For more information about Google Web Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and read the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Use of Google Maps

On this website we use the offer of Google Maps. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter „Google“). This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.
You can find more detailed information about data processing by Google in the Google data protection information: https://policies.google.com/privacy. There you can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection center.
Detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in connection with Google products can be found here: https://www.dataliberation.org.
By visiting the website, Google receives information that you have called up the corresponding subpage of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.
If you do not want the assignment in your profile on Google, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its websites. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide need-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Revocation of consent:

The provider does not currently offer any possibility for a simple opt-out or blocking of data transmission.

In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website, or only to a limited extent.

Social Plugins

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our website. You can recognise the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Information, which may also include personal data, may be sent to the service provider via these plugins and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider by using a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only this activation of the plugin also triggers the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider. We ourselves do not collect any personal data by means of the social plugins or about their use.

We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information is collected and used. There is also the possibility that the service providers try to save cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a particular page.

Matomo sets a cookie (a text file) on your terminal device with which your browser can be recognised. If sub-pages of our website are called up, the following information is stored:

  • the user’s IP address, shortened by the last two bytes (anonymised)

Matomo is used to improve the quality of our website and its content. In this way, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimise our offer.

By anonymising the IP address by six digits, we take into account the interest of the website visitor in the protection of personal data. The data is not used to personally identify the website user and is not merged with other data. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is not passed on to third parties.

Withdrawal of consent:

You can revoke your consent to the storage and analysis of your data by Matomo at any time via the link below. A so-called opt-out cookie will then be stored on your device, which is valid for two years. As a result, Matomo will not collect any session data. Please note, however, that the opt-out cookie will be deleted if you delete all cookies.
