2. Data collection when visiting our website

Each time you visit our website, our system automatically records data and information that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files").

The following data, which is technically necessary for us, is collected:

  • Our visited website
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you came to the page
  • Operating system used
  • Browser used
  • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and maintaining the functionality of our website. The data will not be shared or used for any other purpose. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
We reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files should concrete evidence of illegal use arise. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session ends.
If data is stored in log files, this occurs after a maximum of seven days. Longer storage is possible. In this case, the users' IP addresses are deleted or altered so that the accessing client can no longer be identified. The collection of data for providing the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Therefore, the user has no right to object.

7. Use of social media

Use of YouTube videos

On this website, we use the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "YouTube," which is owned by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. When you start playing embedded YouTube videos, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about your user behavior. According to "YouTube," these cookies are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive practices. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

If you do not wish to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR on the basis of your express consent.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact YouTube. Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google "DoubleClick" network is established each time you visit this website, which may trigger further data processing operations beyond our control.

Data may also be transferred to Google LLC's servers 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. Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de.

  • Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR:
    You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by the controller. In addition, you have the right to information about the purpose, the categories of personal data, the recipients, the planned storage period and the existence of other rights such as rectification of the data or the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing concerning you, as well as your right to be informed of the guarantees that exist pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries.
  • Right to rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR:
    You have the right to have any inaccurate data concerning you rectified without delay and/or to have any incomplete data stored by us completed; the rectification or completion must be carried out without delay.
  • Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR:
    You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data, which you contest, is being verified, if you refuse to delete your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved or if you have lodged an objection for reasons related to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh yours;
    If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data – with the exception of storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State. If the processing has been restricted, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
  • Right to erasure according to Art. 17 GDPR:
    You have the right to request the immediate erasure of your personal data, provided the requirements of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. However, this right to erasure does not apply, in particular - but not exclusively - if processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • Right to information according to Art. 19 GDPR:
    If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, the controller is obligated to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You also have the right to be informed about these recipients.
  • Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR :
    You have the right to receive your personal data provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible;
  • Right of revocation according to Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR:
    You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
    You also have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time with future effect. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the revocation.
  • Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR:
    Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

8.2. Right of objection

  • You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time with future effect if we process your data based on our overriding legitimate interest after weighing up the interests.
    If you exercise this right of objection, we will stop processing your data unless there are demonstrably overriding compelling legitimate grounds that prevent termination or if further processing serves to exercise or defend legal claims.

9. Duration of storage of personal data

The length of time personal data is stored depends on statutory retention periods. After these periods have expired, we routinely delete the data if it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract and/or if we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.
