Which personal data we collect
and why we collect it
Website Statistics
We use the WordPress plugin “WP Statistics” to analyze the use of the website. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interest in gaining a better understanding of the accessibility of the website and its content in order to be able to expand and improve our offer in a targeted manner.
For this purpose, your IP address is stored anonymously (it is not possible to draw conclusions about you or your internet connection). The data collected in this way will not be passed on to third parties, but only stored on our server.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is given. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
This site stores a so called “session cookie” on your computer. This cookie is used to provide you only the neccessary files and data. This cookie includes no personal information, is only accessible by this website (first party cookie) and is removed once you leave this site.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, as well as allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed.
Server log files
The provider of the website 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 server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website provider has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
Personal data via email
If you use the e-mail addresses provided on this website to contact us, we will store the information that you provide to us (e.g. your e-mail address, the name under which you contact us, a telephone number if applicable, if you provide them) that is neccessary to answer your enquiry. This data will not be disclosed to third parties. After the communication has ended, you can request that we erase all personal data.
Embedded content from other websites
Pages on this site may contain embedded content (Youtube videos). Embedded content from other websites behaves in partial exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website.
Youtube videos on this website are embeded using the www.youtube-nocookie.com format, which prevents the setting of cookies from www.youtube.com.
YouTube videos can still anonymously track other data when viewed, especially if you are logged into YouTube.
Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s data protection declaration at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
