When do we process personal data?

We process personal data that you actively transmit to us through your entries. We also automatically process personal data resulting from the use of our website. Your personal data may therefore be processed in the following cases in particular:
• When you visit our website
• When you contact us
• Analyzing why which visitors come to our website and how they use it
• Analyzing the success of our advertising measures
• Personalization of advertising measures
• Defense against attacks on our technical infrastructure

Refer to the following explanations for details

When you visit our website, the company we commission to operate the website processes and stores technical information on the terminal device you use (operating system, screen resolution and other, non-personal features) and the browser (version, language settings), in particular the public IP address of the computer with which you visit our website, including the date and time of access. The IP address is a unique numerical address under which your end device sends or retrieves data to the Internet. As a rule, we or our service provider do not know who is behind an IP address unless you provide us with data that allows us to identify you while you are using our website. Furthermore, a user may be identified if legal action is taken against him/her (e.g. in the event of attacks against our website) and we obtain knowledge of his/her identity during the course of the investigation. As a rule, you do not need to worry that we will be able to assign your IP address to you.

Our service provider uses the processed data, non-personal data for statistical purposes, so that we can trace which end devices are used with which settings while visiting our website in order to optimize it for these if necessary. These statistics contain no personal data. The legal basis for the compilation of the statistics is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.

Contact inquiries.

If you send us a message via one of the contact options offered, we will use the data you provide us to process your inquiry. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. If your inquiry serves the conclusion of a contract with us, a further legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR. The data will be deleted after your request has been dealt with. If we are legally obligated to store the data for a longer period of time, the data will be deleted after expiry of the corresponding period of time.

The IP address will continue to be used so that you can technically access and use our website and to detect and defend against attacks against our service provider or our website. Unfortunately, there are always attacks to harm the operators of websites or their users (e.g. preventing access, spying on data, spreading malicious software (e.g. viruses) or other illegal purposes). Such attacks would impair the proper functioning of the computer center belonging to the company commissioned by us, the use of our website or its functionality and the security of visitors to our website. The IP address, including the time of access, is processed to defend against such attacks. Through our service provider, we carry out this processing with the legitimate interest of ensuring the functionality of our website and fending off illegal attacks against us and our website visitors. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR.

The stored IP data is deleted (by rendering it anonymous) when it is no longer needed for the recognition or defense of an attack.
