3. Definition of personal data

Personal data in the meaning of GDPR is all information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be directly or indirectly identified by assigning an identifier such as name, ID number, location data or online ID, or if he or she can be identified by one or more special features that reveal the physic, physiologic, genetic, psychologic, economic, cultural or social identity. This personal data will only be collected if it is required in order to fulfill contracted services, for compliance with legal requirements or for one of the purposes mentioned in the following.

4. Collection of anonymized data/Log files/IP Addresses

Our website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be the browser types and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), the sub-websites, the date and time of access to the Internet site, an Internet protocol address (IP address), the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to deliver the content of our website correctly, optimize the content of our website, ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, we analyze anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Purpose of data collection

We only process personal data for one of the purposes mentioned in this privacy policy. A transfer of your personal data to third-parties does not take place. We only pass personal data on to third-parties if we receive your explicit consent, if it is required to fulfill a contract, if it required to fulfill legal requirements, if the processing is necessary to ensure justified interests and if there is no assumption that you have a special interest in not transferring your data.

6. Rights of data subjects

Through the above mentioned contact data of our privacy officer you can exercise the following rights at any time: disclosing your stored personal data and its purpose for processing, correcting incorrect personal data, deleting stored data, restricting the processing of personal data if we are not allowed to delete it yet in order to fulfill legal requirements, objecting the processing of personal data, withdrawing previously given consent to process data.

7. Deleting or blocking of data

We aim to fulfill the principles of data thrift. Therefore we only store your personal data just as long as it is required to fulfill the purposes mentioned in this privacy policy or as long as it is required by the legislator. After the expiration of the respective purpose or deadline we will block or delete personal data routinely according to all legal requirements.

8. Cookies

Our website use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
