2) Data collection when visiting our website

During the mere informational use of our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called "server log files"). When you call up our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

3) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data and IP address values to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie.

Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit.

We may work with advertising partners who help us to make our website more interesting for you.

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.

5) Tools and other

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the us-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

6) Social media portals, fan pages

In order to provide customers, partners or other interested parties with up-to-date information and to contact them, we operate so-called "fan pages" on the following social networks in addition to our own website: LinkedIn, YouTube. The data processing here takes place through the provider of the respective social media portals. Data processing outside the European Union cannot be ruled out. Please also note that we are not able to track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals. The provider of the portals may provide us with aggregated usage data, but we do not have access to personal data if you merely visit the fan page. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. In the case of consent in the form of an opt-in ("tick box", "activate button") or any other form of obtaining consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. Consent can be revoked at any time without giving reasons to the person to whom it was given, with effect for the future. Please note that we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Since the data processing is carried out by the provider of the portal, we recommend that you contact the respective provider of the platform for your rights to information, correction, deletion, data portability and objection in the context of visiting our fan page. Of course, we will support you in exercising your rights if necessary. In addition, cookies may be set on your terminal device. You can find the purposes and legal basis for the use of cookies under "Cookies" in this data protection declaration or on the data protection declarations of the platform provider.
