Privacy Policy
The data controller within the meaning of the data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is: Delia Bendschneider
Your rights as a data subject
You may exercise the following rights at any time by contacting our Data Protection Officer (DPO) using the contact details provided:
- Information about the personal data we hold about you and how we process it,
- Rectification of inaccurate personal data,
- Erasure of the personal data we hold about you,
- Restriction of processing where we are required by law to retain your data,
- Objection to the processing of your data by us,
- Data portability, where you have consented to the processing of your data or have entered into a contract with us.
If you have given us your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
You may lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for you at any time. The authority responsible depends on the federal state of your residence, your place of work, or the alleged infringement. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector), including addresses, can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
Purposes of data processing by the controller and by third parties
We process your personal data only for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We do not disclose your personal data to third parties for any purposes other than those stated. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:
- you have given your explicit consent,
- processing is necessary for the performance/fulfilment of a contract with you,
- processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding interest requiring the non-disclosure of your data.
Erasure or restriction of data
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here, or as required by the statutory retention periods. Once the relevant purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely restricted (blocked) or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
Collection of general information when you visit our website
When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. 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 and similar details. This is exclusively information that cannot be used to identify you personally.
These details are technically necessary to deliver the website content you request correctly and are inevitably generated as part of using the internet. They are processed in particular for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
- Ensuring the smooth use of our website,
- Assessing system security and stability, as well as
- for other administrative purposes.
The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interests in the data collection purposes set out above. We do not use your data to draw inferences about you personally. The only recipients of the data are the controller and, where applicable, processors acting on our behalf.
Anonymous information of this kind may, where appropriate, be analysed statistically by us in order to optimise our website and the underlying technology.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This allows us to receive certain data automatically, such as your IP address, the browser used, the operating system, and your connection to the internet.
Cookies cannot be used to start programmes or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies helps us make navigation easier for you and ensure our web pages are displayed correctly.
Under no circumstances will the data we collect be disclosed to third parties, nor will it be linked with personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies by default. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use your browser’s help functions to learn how to change these settings. Please note that certain features of our website may not work if you have disabled cookies.
Registration on our website
When registering to use our personalised services, certain personal data are collected, such as your name, address, and contact and communication details (e.g. telephone number and email address). Once you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we offer only to registered users. Registered users may also change or delete, at any time if needed, the data provided at registration.
Of course, we will also provide you with information at any time about the personal data we hold about you. We will gladly rectify or erase this data at your request, insofar as no statutory retention obligations prevent this. To contact us in this regard, please use the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.
SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods in line with current best practice (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.
Contact form
If you contact us with any enquiry by email or via the contact form, you give your voluntary consent for us to get in touch with you for that purpose. A valid email address is required; this enables us to assign your enquiry and respond to it. Providing any further details is optional. The information you supply will be stored in order to process your enquiry and to handle any follow-up questions. Once your enquiry has been dealt with, your personal data will be deleted automatically.
Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files stored on your computer, which enable an analysis of how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Owing to IP anonymisation being activated on these pages, your IP address will, however, first be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
The purposes of the data processing are to analyse use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. On the basis of website and internet usage, further related services are then to be provided. Processing is carried out on the basis of the website operator’s legitimate interest.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website in full. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at the following link: Browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.
Additionally, or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will then be placed on your device. This will prevent collection by Google Analytics for this website and this browser in the future, for as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure our content is displayed correctly and attractively across different browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Web Fonts. (https://www.google.com/webfonts/).
Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid repeated loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access, content will be displayed in a standard typeface.
Calling up script or font libraries automatically establishes a connection to the operator of the library. In the process, it is theoretically possible—though currently unclear whether, and if so for what purposes—the operators of such libraries may collect data.
You can find the privacy policy of the library operator, Google, here:
Use of Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps API to display geographical information visually. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes and uses data about how visitors interact with the map features. You can find more detailed information on how Google processes data in Google’s privacy notices. There you can also adjust your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Centre.
You can find detailed instructions on how to manage your data in relation to Google products here.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services (for example, when introducing new services). The new Privacy Policy will then apply to any subsequent visits.
