How do we collect your data?
On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This can be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form (see paragraph “Contact form” under “Further information”).
Other data is collected by our IT systems when you visit the website, automatically or after your consent. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view).
How long do we store your data?
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.
For what do we use your data?
Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior or for other specified purposes, e.g. processing of requests or realization of events.
Which rights do you have regarding your data?
General legal basis
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Your right to information
Within the legal regulations, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, at any time.
Your right to correction
You have the right to correction of incorrect personal data concerning you, as well as completion of incomplete personal data.
Your right to deletion
You have the right to deletion of your personal data, in particular if one of the following reasons applies:
- Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
- You revoke your consent on which the processing of your data was based and there is no other legal basis for their processing.
- Your data has been collected and processed wrongously.
If you assert a legitimate request for deletion, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply. The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing of your personal data serves the enforcement, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Your right to revoke your consent
If the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time.
Your right to object to the collection of data in special cases
If the data processing is based on art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on reasons relating to your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process your particular personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of enforcement, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection under art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
Your right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. This right exists in the following cases:
- If you deny the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of data processing.
- If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening wrongously, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for enforcement, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected pursuant to art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of data processing.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the enforcement, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
Your right to data handed-over
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct hand-over of the data to another party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Your right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violation of the GDPR, persons concerned have a right of complaining to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the presumable violation. The right of complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) are necessary cookies and are stored on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

Contact form
If you send us requests via the contact form, your data from the contact form including the contact data you provided there will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a contract or pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
