Therefore, our commercial acting is in conformance with the applicable legal regulation about data privacy and data security. It is very important to us that you feel safe when visiting us. It is for this reason, that we and our data privacy officer place significant importance on the adherence to legal data privacy requirements.
We are aware of the importance of the data that you provide and would like to inform you about it in the following:

• about the purposes for which your (person-related) data is acquired, processed and used,
• how we handle and protect your data,
• to whom we make your data available and
• how you can enforce your rights.

Please review the following explanations thoroughly. Please contact our data privacy officer in case you have questions. The contact information can be found further down in this data privacy statement.

1. Terminology

Data privacy is a complex subject. We have listed a number of term definitions to simplify the understanding of this data privacy statement.

In accordance with art. 28 of the basic data privacy regulation (DS-GVO) (previously “Order data processing” is a service which acquires, processes and/or uses person-related data on behalf and under the direction of the above mentioned responsible person by a service provider (order processor as per GDPR). We establish a special contract with the service provider and ensure additional measures to protect your person related data before such an order is awarded to a service provider.

“Cookies” are small text files, which are stored on the terminal (e.g. computer or smart phone) used by you and which store certain settings and data for the exchange with our system through your browser. A cookie includes normally the name of the website visited from which the cookie data has been sent, information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumerical identification attribute. Cookies permit the identification of the user device and make possible pre-settings immediately available.

Third-party is an individual or a legal entity or body – except the affected person, the responsible person, the order processor and the persons – which are authorized under the direct responsibility of the responsible person to process the person-related data, see art. 4 No, 10 GDPR. For example, a third-party is not a service provider that receives person-related data as part of an order processing in accordance with art. 28 GDPR.

IP addresses sare number sequences that can be allocated to individual IT devices or a group. Similar to postal addresses, the IP is used to be able to allocate data to the correct recipient.

“Person-related data” is information that refers to an identified or identifiable individual, especially first name, last name, birth date, email address, postal address, as well as bank and payment data but also health data, see art. 4 No. 1 GDPR (individual information about a certain or identifiable individual in accordance with § 4 para. 1 GDPR).

“Responsible person” in accordance with art. 4 No. 7 GDPR is each person or body, who/which solely or jointly with others decides about the purposes and means of the processing of person-related data. (here: website operator).

2. Responsible person

The responsible person with respect to your person-related data on this website is:

However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, for example, for statistical purposes. If we know about it, then we will inform you.
