Privacy Policy

1. Privacy at a glance

General information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you could be personally identified.

Data collection on this website

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the "Information on the responsible entity" section of this privacy policy. Your data is collected on the one hand by you communicating it to us (e.g., via e-mail). Other data is collected automatically or after your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website.

2. General notes and mandatory information

Information on the responsible entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://".

3. Data collection on this website

Inquiries by e-mail or telephone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files (browser type, operating system, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, IP address). According to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, the IP address is considered personal data. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website).

Cookies and consent management

Our website exclusively uses technically necessary cookies, for which no prior consent is required unless explicitly stated otherwise.

4. Plugins and external services

We integrate external media on our website. To ensure the protection of your data, we use a two-click solution. This means: By default, no personal data is transmitted to third-party providers.

Only when you actively click on the respective button of a medium (e.g., "Load video" or "Load content"), do you consent to a connection being established to the servers of the provider. In doing so, your IP address (acc. to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR) in particular is transmitted to the respective provider. The legal basis for this processing is your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

YouTube (with extended privacy protection)

The operator is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. By activating the video via the two-click solution, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. You can find more information about the handling of user data in YouTube's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Spotify

The provider of the Spotify plugin is Spotify AB, Birger Jarlsgatan 61, 113 56 Stockholm, Sweden. If you agree to its use via the two-click solution, a direct connection between your browser and the Spotify servers is established. Consent can be revoked at any time by reloading the page or via the cookie settings. You can find more information in Spotify's privacy policy: https://www.spotify.com/de/legal/privacy-policy/.
