DATA PROTECTION NOTICE

General information on data processing

As a general rule, we only process our users’ personal data to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website and our content and services, or where consent has been given.

The processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

Website Hosting

Our website is hosted by STRATO AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin.

The hosting service provider processes personal data generated when visiting our website (e.g. IP addresses, log files) exclusively within the framework of data processing on our behalf in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in the secure, stable and efficient provision of our website).

When you visit our website, the hosting provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits automatically. These include, in particular:

• IP address (truncated where applicable)
• Date and time of the request
• Referrer URL
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Cookies

Our website does not itself use any cookies that are not technically necessary.

Where a cookie consent banner is used, it serves solely to provide information and to manage external content or future services.

No tracking or marketing cookies will be set without your express consent.

Links to external sites

Our social media channels are integrated into this website exclusively as external links. As long as you do not click on these links, no personal data will be transferred to the respective platform operators.

When you access the linked platforms, the respective data protection policies of the providers apply, as they process data on their own responsibility.

No social media plugins on this website

This website does not incorporate any social media plugins (e.g. ‘Like’ or ‘Share’ buttons) that would enable the automatic transfer of user data to Meta, LinkedIn or other providers.

Retention period

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes set out herein or as required by the various retention periods stipulated by law. Once the relevant purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, your personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

• Right of access,
• Right to rectification or erasure,
• Right to restriction of processing,

• Right to data portability,
• Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

Withdrawal of consent

If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may withdraw it at any time. Such a withdrawal will affect the lawfulness of the processing of your personal data from the time you notify us of it.

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
