Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO.

Unless otherwise stipulated below, this data will not be further processed by us.

Contact us

You have the option of contacting us via the contact form on our website or via the e-mail provided.

Processing necessary for the performance of a contract exists if the contracting party is the data subject. The processing of personal data for the performance of pre-contractual measures, which is carried out at the request of the data subject, is also deemed to be lawful processing.
Data processing for other purposes can only be considered if the necessary legal requirements pursuant to Art. 6 (4) DSGVO are met. In this case, we will of course comply with any information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 (3) DSGVO and Art. 14 (4) DSGVO.

Web analysis

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyse website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimise our website and advertising measures. 

Google Analytics is provided to us by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes website usage data on our behalf and is contractually committed to measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the data processed.

During your visit to the website, the following data, among others, is recorded:

  • Pages accessed
  • The achievement of "website goals" (e.g. contact requests and newsletter sign-ups)
  • Your behaviour on the pages (for example, dwell time, clicks, scrolling behaviour)
  • Your approximate location (country and city)
  • Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no clear assignment is possible)
  • Technical information such as browser, internet provider, terminal device and screen resolution
  • Source of origin of your visit (i.e. via which website or via which advertising medium you came to us)

No personal data such as name, address or contact details are ever transferred to Google Analytics.

This data is transferred to Google servers in the USA. We would like to point out that the same level of data protection cannot be guaranteed in the USA as within the EU. 

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID that can be used to recognise you on future visits to the website.

The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.

If you do not agree with the collection, you can cancel it with the one-time installation of the Browser add-ons to deactivate Google Analytics or by rejecting the cookies via our cookie settings dialogue.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Art 6 para 1 lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the DSGVO.

Our concern in terms of the DSGVO (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our web presence. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is anonymised.

Matomo

On this website, we use the web analysis service Matomo to analyse and check the use of our website. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. We operate Matomo in a version that does not require cookies.

For the analysis of website usage, your IP address and information such as time stamp, web pages visited and your language settings are collected. We store the information collected in this way on our server.

This website uses Matomo with the extension "AnonymizeIP". This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form and a direct link to a person is excluded. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us. The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The Matomo programme is an open source project. Information from the third-party provider on data protection can be found at https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/ .
