4. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of the internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you desire are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be combined with other data sources.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Purpose of data processing
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 remain stored for the duration of the session. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
Right to object and to removal
The collection of data for providing the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
Contact form and email contact
Description and scope of data processing
There is a contact form on our website that can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored. This data is your name and your email address. At the time the message is sent, the date and time are also recorded.
Your consent to the processing of the data is obtained during the sending process and reference is made to this privacy policy.
Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the email address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the email is stored.
In this context, data may be passed on to other group companies. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for processing the data, where the user has given consent, is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Purpose of data processing
The processing of personal data from the input mask serves solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant matter has been conclusively clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted at the latest after a period of seven days.
Right to object and to removal
The user has the possibility at any time to revoke his or her consent to the processing of personal data. If the user contacts the data protection officer at
All personal data stored in the course of making contact will be deleted in this case.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
5. Plugins and tools
Use of social plugins
Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) from various social networks such as Facebook.com and LinkedIn.com. These plugins serve the purpose of providing you with an opportunity to interact with your contacts and to easily share interesting information. These plugins can be recognized by the respective logo in the network. We use a 2-click solution, so that no data transfer takes place when merely visiting the website. Only when you click on such a plugin does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective network. The content of the plugin is transmitted by the network directly to your browser and integrated by it into the website. If these networks are based outside the EU or the EEA, we cannot exclude that your data will be transmitted to and processed on a server outside the EU/EEA. We have no influence on the scope or the retention period of the data that the respective network collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating the plugin, the respective network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to one of the networks, that network can assign this information to your profile. If you do not want the network to collect information about your visit to our website, you must log out beforehand. However, it is generally possible that the network may determine and store your IP address even if you are not registered or not logged in there. We also have no information regarding the deletion of the data collected by the plugin provider. The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles with the service providers. The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. For the purpose, duration and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of your data as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the data protection information of the respective social networks:

This serves the purpose of displaying interactive maps directly on the website, enabling easy location of the places specified by us on the website and the convenient use of the map function. This application is retrieved directly from Google’s servers, so the company receives the IP address currently assigned to you. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. Whether and to what extent and for what period the IP address is stored and used internally by Google is beyond our knowledge. The legal basis for integrating this service is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged in, it is possible that Google uses and stores your IP address for profiling. Google stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles at Google. We point out that data processing by Google may take place outside the EU/EEA. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. Further information on data protection at Google can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this page has no influence on this data transfer.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and to make it easy to find the places we indicate on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

You have the right to be informed as to whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
2. Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the rectification without delay.
3. Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:
-
if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
-
the processing is unlawful and you oppose the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;

if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data—apart from its storage—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase
You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without undue delay where one of the following reasons applies:
-
The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
-
You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase it, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers that are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary:
-
for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
-
for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
-
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) as well as Art. 9(3) GDPR;
-
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to under point (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
-
for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
5. Right to be informed
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the controller.
6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you further have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected thereby.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for such purposes.
You may exercise your right to object in the context of the use of information society services—without prejudice to Directive 2002/58/EC—by automated means using technical specifications.
8. Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. The lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal shall not be affected by the withdrawal.
9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
-
is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller,
-
is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
-
is based on your explicit consent.
However, such decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests are in place.
In respect of the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
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.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
