Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting our website. In the privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the handling of your data in accordance with Art. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The controller for the data processing described below is named in the imprint.

When you visit our websites, our web server temporarily evaluates so-called usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our website. This data consists of the following data categories:

• the name and address of the requested content,
• the date and time of the query,
• the amount of data transferred,
• the access status (content transferred, content not found),
• the description of the used web browser and operating system,
• the referral link, which indicates from which page you reached ours,
• the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened in such a way that a personal reference can no longer be established.

The aforementioned log data will be evaluated anonymously.

The legal basis for the processing of usage data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of providing the contents of the website and ensuring a device- and browser-optimised display.

In addition, we store the complete IP address transmitted by your web browser with strict purpose limitation for a period of seven days in the legitimate interest of being able to detect, limit and eliminate attacks on our websites. We delete or anonymize the IP address when this period has expired.The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

In order to protect your data as comprehensively as possible from unwanted access, we implement technical and organisational measures. These measures include encryption procedures on our websites. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the internet using TLS encryption. You can usually recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.

We use cookies on our websites, which are necessary for using our websites.

Cookies are small text files that can be stored on and extracted from your device. There is a difference between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored for more than the duration of the session.

We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes.

In some cases, these cookies only contain information on certain settings and are not linked to a person. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and operating of the site.

The legal basis for using these cookies is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

You can set your browser to inform you about the use of cookies. You can also delete cookies or prevent the setting of new cookies at any time by using the appropriate browser settings. Please note that if you delete certain cookies, our websites may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be available.

We use a consent management platform (consent or cookie banner) on our websites. The processing in connection with the use of the consent management platform and the logging of the settings you have made is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to provide you with our content according to your preferences and to be able to prove your consent(s). The settings you have made, the consents you have given and parts of your usage data are stored in a cookie. This ensures that it is kept for further website visits and that your consents continue to be traceable. You can find more information about this under the section "Necessary cookies".

The provider of the consent management platform acts on our behalf and is strictly bound by our instructions (processor). A data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR has been concluded.The service provider is "MIR MEDIA," Händelstraße 41, 50674 Cologne, Germany; Website: https://www.mir.de/en/; Privacy Policy: https://www.mir.de/de/datenschutzerklaerung.

We use the Google Tag Manager service on our websites (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

The Google Tag Manager enables the management of website tags via an interface. It does not set any cookies and does not collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager only activates other tags that may collect personal data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

The processing of personal data in connection with the use of Google Tag Manager is based on our legitimate interest, in particular the efficient management of the tracking tools used on our websites, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

For data transfers to the USA, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by the provider's certification in accordance with the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework).

We use the web analysis tool "Google Analytics" to design our websites in accordance with the needs of our visitors. Google Analytics creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your device and accessed by us. This allows us to recognise returning visitors and count them as such.

We are supported by Google Ireland Limited as a processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR when using the Google Analytics service. The data processing by Google may also take place outside the EU or the EEA (especially in the USA). With regard to Google, an adequate level of data protection is ensured due to the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). Google is also obliged to conclude standard contractual clauses with further sub-processors.

We utilize Monotype in the interest of an appealing and consistent presentation of our online offerings. The legal basis for processing is your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

The provision of this data is voluntary and not mandatory for the application.

On our websites, we embed videos that are not stored on our servers. However, for reasons of data protection, no content from third-party proivders is reloaded yet and the third-party provider will not receive any informtaion, when you call up our web pages.

Only when you give your consent via our consent banner the content of the third-party provider will be reloaded. The third-party provider is therefore able to obtain the information that you have accessed our site as well as the usage data that is technically required in this context. Additionally, the third-party provider is able to implement tracking technologies. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. Your consent includes that contents of the third party provider are reloaded.

The embedding is based on your consent, provided you have given your consent via our consent banner. If data is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA) in this context, we provide information about the level of data protection in the following table.

You can order a newsletter on our websites. Please note that we require certain data (at least your e-mail address) for suscribing to our newsletter.

The newsletter will only be sent to you, if you have given us your explicit consent. Once you have ordered our newsletter, you will receive a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address you provided (so-called double opt-in). You can withdraw your consent at any time. You can easily withdraw your consent, for example, by clicking on the unsubscribe link in every newsletter.

As part of the newsletter registration, we store further data in addition to the data already mentioned, insofar as this is necessary for us to be able to prove that you have ordered our newsletter. This may include the storage of the full IP address at the time of the order or the confirmation of the newsletter, as well as a copy of the confirmation email sent by us. The corresponding data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and in the legitimate interest of being able to account for the lawfulness of the newsletter delivery.

Unless we have already informed you in detail about the storage period, we delete personal data when they are no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and no legitimate interests or other (legal) reasons for storage prevent deletion.

We share your data with service providers that support us in the operation of our websites and the associated processes as part of data processing on behalf of the controller pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. These are, for example, hosting service providers. Our service providers are strictly bounded by our instructions and are contractually obligated accordingly.

In the following, we will name the processors with whom we work, if we have not already done so in the above text of the data protection declaration. If data may be processed outside the EU or the EEA in this context, we inform you about this in the following table.
