The legal basis for storing this data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 point f) GDPR (Legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from my obligation to comply with your request and the need to be able to exonerate myself in possible fine proceedings by proving that I have properly dealt with your request.

1.4. Data Transfer to Third Countries Outside the EU

All information we receive from you or about you is generally processed on servers within the European Union.

1.5. Disclosure of Data, Order Processing

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties without authorization.

Under certain circumstances, your data may also be transmitted to external service providers who process data on my behalf and according to my instructions (processors) in order to simplify or relieve my own data processing. Each processor is obligated by a contract in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This means, in particular, that the processor must provide sufficient guarantees that appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented in such a way that the processing is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR and the protection of your rights as a data subject is guaranteed. Despite commissioning processors, I remain the responsible entity for the processing of your personal data within the meaning of data protection laws.

2.3. Cookies

We use so-called "cookies" on our website to improve user-friendliness.

2.3.1. What Cookies Are

In very simple terms, a cookie is a small text file that stores data about websites visited. Cookies can be used in many ways. For example, they can store a kind of "user profile," such as your preferred language and other page settings needed by our website to be able to offer you certain services. The cookie file is stored on your device and can also help recognize you when you visit our website again. Under certain circumstances, we may also receive information about your preferred activities on our website through cookies and align our website with your individual interests or even increase the speed of navigation on our website.

2.3.2. How You Can Avoid Cookies

2.3.3. Which Cookies Are Used

In detail, our website uses the following cookies:

Session cookies: These contain an identification number that allows different requests from your browser to be assigned to a session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. We use this type of cookie to provide elementary functions of this website, such as protection against spam via request forms. We also use session cookies to detect how many subpages of the homepage you visit and how long you stay on the pages. It is not possible to associate this with you as a person or to create a usage profile over a longer period than a browser session.

2.3.4. Cookie Settings

To inform you transparently about the use of cookies by us, a notice banner is displayed at the bottom of the browser window. You have the option to determine which non-essential cookies we may use during your visit to the website. Your settings for this will be stored in several cookies for future visits to this website.

The legitimate interest arises from our need to be able to offer you a functioning website. Cookies are necessary for this because they are an integral component of current Internet technology, and without cookies, many functions of current websites would not be available. We therefore need cookies to be able to provide you with the website at your request.

2.4. Server Log Files

Every time a website is called up and every time data is retrieved from a server, general information is automatically transmitted to the providing server. This data transmission occurs automatically and is a fundamental component of communication between devices on the Internet.

The data transferred by default includes, among other things, the following information: your IP address, product and version information about the browser and operating system used (so-called user agent), the website from which your access took place (so-called referer), date and time of the request (so-called timestamp). In addition, the http status and the amount of data transferred in this request are recorded.

This information is logged by the server, stored in a table, and stored there for a short period (so-called server log files). By analyzing these log files, we can identify errors on the website and subsequently eliminate them, determine the utilization of the website at certain times and make adjustments or improvements based on this, and ensure the security of the server by being able to track from which IP address attacks on our server were carried out.

Your IP address is only stored for the duration of your use of the website and is immediately deleted or partially obscured by truncation afterwards. The remaining data is stored for a limited period (usually 7 days).

The legal basis for the use of the server log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 point f) GDPR (Legitimate interest in data processing). The legitimate interest arises from the necessity for the operation and maintenance of our website, as we have explained above.
