Privacy policy

This is a courtesy translation. Only the German version is legally binding.

We run our website according to the principles set out below. We are committed to complying with statutory data protection requirements and always aim to observe the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation.

1. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, DSGVO) and other national data protection laws of the member states of the European Union, as well as other data protection provisions, is:

2. Definitions of terms

We have drafted our privacy policy according to the principles of clarity and transparency. Should there nonetheless be ambiguity regarding the use of certain terms, the relevant definitions can be found at dsgvo-gesetz.de (German-language resource).

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

We process your personal data, such as name, email address and IP address, only where a legal basis exists for doing so. Under the General Data Protection Regulation, three provisions in particular apply here:

a) You have given us your consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more purposes (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR). We inform you in detail about the purpose of the processing in this context, and your express consent is documented by us.

b) The processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures with you (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR).

c) The processing of personal data is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests, provided your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override them (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR).

We indicate again at the relevant points the legal basis on which the processing of your personal data is based.

4. Disclosure of personal data

Your personal data is not transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

a) you have given your express consent under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR,

b) disclosure is necessary under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,

c) there is a legal obligation for disclosure under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) GDPR,

d) this is legally permissible and necessary under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

5. Storage period and deletion

We store all personal data you provide to us only for as long as is required to fulfil the purposes for which the data was transmitted, or as long as required by law. Once the purpose has been fulfilled and/or the statutory retention periods have expired, the data is deleted or blocked by us.

6. SSL encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser line. When SSL encryption is active, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

7. Contact form / email contact

We provide a form on our website so that you have the option to contact us at any time. To use the contact form, you need to provide a name for a personal form of address and a valid email address so that we know who the enquiry is from and can process it.

If you send us enquiries through the contact form, the details you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you give there, and your IP address, are processed pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) and (f) GDPR to carry out pre-contractual measures taken in response to your enquiry, or to safeguard our legitimate interest, namely the exercise of our business activity.

You are also welcome to send us an email to the email address given on our website instead. In this case we store and process your email address and the details you provide in the email pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) and (f) GDPR.

8. Your rights

As the data subject, you have the following rights against us as controller regarding your personal data:

• Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR)
• Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

An informal message by email to the contact address given above is sufficient to exercise these rights.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. The competent authority is the Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.

9. Server log files

When you access our website, the hosting provider's web server collects technically necessary data in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us: IP address, date and time of the request, URL accessed, amount of data transferred, browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL. This data is processed to ensure the website runs smoothly and to improve our offering (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR) and is deleted after seven days at the latest.

10. Cookies and tracking

This website uses no cookies for tracking, analytics or marketing. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel or any other tracking tools. Fonts are loaded locally from our own server; no data is transmitted to Google Fonts or other third parties.
