Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server merely automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which are overriding in a balancing of interests, in a correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data is processed only for as long as necessary to achieve the aforementioned processing purposes.

 Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. If you have questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact options described in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision: Canada, New Zealand, Japan, United Kingdom, USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA applies as a basis for third-country transfers, insofar as the respective service provider is certified. Until certification by our service providers, the data transfer is still based on the following: Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in these countries: Australia, India, Singapore.
For these countries, there is no adequacy decision from the European Commission. Our cooperation with them is based on the following safeguards: Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission.
