Scope

 

With this privacy policy, users receive information about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data collected and used by the responsible provider.

 

The legal framework for data protection is the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). Our software and the data management takes place exclusively in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany. There are no data transfers or processing in third countries outside the EU.

Collecting general information

With each access to this offer, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is general in nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn.

Included are: name of the website, file, date, amount of data, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your Internet provider, the so-called Referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our offer) and the IP address.

Without this data, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the contents of the website. In this respect, the collection of data is imperative. In addition, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They help us to optimize the offer and the technology. In addition, we reserve the right to subsequently inspect the log files in case of suspected illegal use of our offer.

Handling of personal data

Definition: Personal information is any information that uniquely identifies a person. It is therefore data that can be traced back to a person.

Personal information includes first name and surname, phone number, e-mail address and IP address.

These data are only collected, used and, if necessary, passed on by the provider, provided the legislator expressly permits this or the user agrees to the collection, processing, use and disclosure of the data.

If you contact us via e-mail, we will save the information you have provided in order to answer your request and to ask possible follow-up questions.

Integration of services and contents of third parties

Our offer sometimes includes content, services and services of other providers. These are, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube as well as graphics and images from other websites. In order for these data to be accessed and displayed in the user's browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party provider") thus perceive the IP address of the respective user.

Although we endeavor to use only third-party providers who only need the IP address to deliver content, we have no control over whether the IP address may be stored. This process is used in the case, inter alia, statistical purposes. If we are aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users.

Personal data is stored according to the principles of data avoidance and data economy only as long as required or required by law (legal storage period). If the purpose of the information collected is omitted or the storage period ends, we block or delete the data.
