4. What does this mean in detail with regard to the    provision of this website and the services available on it?

4.1   Provision of the website and creation of log files

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data are collected:
(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) User’s operating system
(3) User’s internet service provider
(4) User’s IP address
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
(7) Websites that are accessed by the user’s systems through our website

The data will also be stored anonymously in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with the user’s other personal data. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6(1) of the GDPR.
The system’s temporary storing of the IP address is necessary in order to deliver the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be kept stored during the session. The data are stored in log files in order for the website to function. The data also serves to optimise the website and to keep our information technology systems secure. No data are evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data under Art. 6(1) of the GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of collecting them. When data are collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. When data are stored in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of users are deleted or alienated so they can be no longer attributed to a calling client. Data are required to be collected to provide the website and store data in log files for the operation of the website. Consequently, users have no option to opt out.

4.2   Contact form and e-mail contact
A contact form is available on our website for contacting us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are: Surname, given name(s), title, e-mail, phone number, company, free text for messages.

The following data will also be stored when the message is sent:
(a) User’s IP address

In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. Data will not be transferred to third parties in this context. The data will be used exclusively to process the conversation.If you give your consent to the processing of the data, the legal basis for the processing of it is Art. 6(1) of the GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6(1) of the GDPR. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, there is an additional legal basis for the processing, namely, Art. 6(1) of the GDPR. The processing of the personal data from the input mask is exclusively for us to establish contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. Any other personal data processed during the sending process is to prevent misuse of the contact form and ensure that our information technology systems remain secure. The data will be deleted when they are no longer required for the purpose of collecting them. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. This is the case when circumstances indicate the relevant facts to have been finally clarified. Any additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted no later than seven (7) days thereafter. You have the possibility to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, however, the conversation cannot continue. In this case, all personal data stored in establishing contact will be deleted.

Use of Google Tag Manager
This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data are collected. Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If there is deactivation at the domain or cookie level, it will persist for all tracking tags if they have been implemented using Google Tag Manager.

4.3   Google Analytics/AdWords
This website uses Google Analytics and Google AdWords including the Google Analytics advertising functions. This is a web analysis tool provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. Google Analytics is used exclusively with activated IP anonymisation (so-called “IP masking”). This means that the IP address of Google’s users will be shortened within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, e.g. if technical failures occur in Europe, will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google’s IP anonymisation method never writes the full IP address to a hard drive at any time because all anonymisation occurs almost immediately after the request is received in memory. The IP address your browser transmits through Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage, in particular functions for displaying advertising and Google Analytics reports, to the website operator in order to provide demographic features and interests. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. This will not be personal data under any circumstances. Reports from Google Analytics on performance by demographics and interests use data obtained from Google’s interest-based advertising and third-party visitor data (such as age groups or interest groups). You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can also prevent the transmission of data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: Google Browser-Plugin download and install

You may block Google Analytics tracking by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie is set, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Google Analytics deactivate

We use the “extended privacy mode” option provided by YouTube. As soon as you visit a page on our website where videos are embedded, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established.

In addition, if you are logged into your YouTube account, you will be able to allow YouTube to directly associate your surfing behaviour with your personal profile.

You can prevent this association option by logging out of your account beforehand.

4.5   Use of Google Maps
This website uses the “Google Maps” component to display site maps, operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when you close your browser unless you delete it manually beforehand, but expires after a certain period of time.
If you do not agree to this processing of your data, you can opt to deactivate the “Google Maps” service, thus preventing the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that you will not be able to use “Google Maps” or can only use it to a limited extent.
