3. General information on data processing
We process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide and secure this website, communicate with interested parties, customers and business partners, or comply with legal obligations. In its current version, the website does not use analytics or marketing services, externally hosted fonts, external maps or videos, or social media plugins.

When you access this website, technically necessary connection data is processed. This may include, in particular, the IP address, date and time of access, the page or file requested, referrer URL, browser type and version, operating system and technical status information.
Processing is carried out to provide our website securely, stably and without errors and to detect and defend against attacks. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and functional provision of this website.
According to STRATO, website visitors’ IP addresses are stored for a maximum of seven days for the detection and prevention of attacks. In the web server log files made available by STRATO to hosting customers, the host name or IP address is anonymised. According to STRATO, these anonymised log files are available for the previous six weeks.
Where STRATO processes personal data on our behalf, this is done on the basis of a data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.
5. Cookies, local storage and tracking
In its current version, this website does not use analytics, marketing or tracking cookies. It also does not use comparable storage technologies for advertising or analytics purposes. Third-party services requiring consent are not integrated.
6. Contact by email or telephone
If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the personal data you provide, in particular your contact details and the content of your message, in order to handle your request.
If your request relates to entering into or performing a contract or to pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. For other enquiries, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the proper handling and response to your enquiry.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to process your enquiry and no statutory retention obligations or other legal grounds prevent deletion. Business-related correspondence may be subject to statutory retention obligations.
Providing your data when contacting us is generally voluntary. Without sufficient contact and content information, we may be unable to process or respond to your enquiry.
7. Recipients of personal data
As part of operating this website and our communications, personal data may be transferred to IT, hosting and email service providers used by us where technically or organisationally necessary. Where these service providers act as processors, they are engaged on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
8. Transfers to third countries
The website itself currently does not integrate external services through which personal data is deliberately transferred to recipients outside the European Union or the European Economic Area simply by visiting the site. Where transfers to third countries occur in individual cases in connection with communication or IT services used by us, the requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR apply.
9. SSL/TLS encryption
This website is provided via an encrypted HTTPS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection in particular by the address in your browser beginning with “https://”. Encryption protects transmitted data against unauthorised access by third parties.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw consent at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR. The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.
