Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

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 that the data be transferred directly to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data.

The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example through spam emails.
2. Data collection on our website
server log files
You can access the website without having to disclose any information about your identity. The browser used on your device simply automatically sends information to the server of our website to enable the website to establish a connection. These are:
- browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- hostname of the accessing computer
- time of the server request
- IP address
These are temporarily stored in a so-called log file and automatically deleted after 7 days. This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
cookies
contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message to us by email is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
3. Analysis tools and advertising
WP Statistics
This website uses the analysis tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, ARENCO Tower, 27th Floor, Dubai Media City, Dubai, Dubai 23816, UAE (https://veronalabs.com). With WP Statistics we can analyze the use of our website. WP Statistics records, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, browser used, user origin, search engine used) and actions that website visitors have performed on the site (e.g. clicks and views). The data recorded with WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server. The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
IP anonymization
We use WP Statistics with anonymized IP, which shortens your IP address so that it
can no longer be directly assigned.
Matomo
We use Matomo (formerly Piwik) to statistically evaluate the use of our website with the help of this open source software from InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.
A cookie is stored on your device to record the data. The information generated is stored on servers in Germany and deleted after a storage period of 180 days. The legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. The purpose of data processing is to analyze the use of our website. The statistical evaluation enables us to improve our offering and make your visit more interesting.
We use Matomo with the setting "Anonymize Visitors' IP addresses". This anonymization function shortens your IP address so that no conclusions can be drawn about you or the Internet access you use. You can find more information about Matomo's data protection regulations at the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy.
If you want to prevent the processing of your data, you have the option of deleting existing cookies and preventing the storage of cookies in your browser settings. You can find more information above under "Cookies".
4. Plugins and tools

The use of Google reCAPTCHA may also result in personal data being transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC, based in the USA, Google LLC has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
