information and details such as your name, address or other postal address,
phone number or also your email address.
Cookies are small files that your
browser stores on your device in a record specially set aside for this purpose.
Because cookies are merely simple files and not executable programs, they do not
pose any risk to your computer. Cookies do not contain any personal data. These
cookies can show, for example, if you have already visited a particular website.
Most browsers accept cookies automatically, however, you can change your
browser’s settings so that it does not store cookies or so that it asks for your
explicit permission before storing a cookie. In addition, you can delete cookies
that have already been set at any time. Please note that deactivating cookies
may lead to limitations on the use of our website.
Purpose of data processing
The company only uses and stores personal
data as part of the offered services for the following purposes and only if you
explicitly agree to our terms and conditions and privacy
policy:
• when initiating business
• when
contacting us
Data is processed based on the provisions set out in
Article 6, paragraph 1, point (a) (consent); point (b) (performance of a
contract); point (c) (legal obligation); and point (f) (legitimate interests)
GDPR.
The personal data is only used within our company and only shared
with other companies if they are involved in the performance of the contracts
entered into or in service delivery in some other way. Where necessary, we have
entered into contracts for commissioned data processing with these companies so
that you are provided with additional
protection.

Information about Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics
service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses cookies, that
is, small text files that are saved on users’ computers to enable analysis of
their use of this website. The information generated by cookies about the usage
of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States
and stored there.
However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this
website, Google truncates users’ IP addresses within Member States of the
European Union or European Economic Area before it is transmitted. Only in
exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the
United States and truncated there. IP anonymisation has been activated for this
website. Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator to
evaluate usage of the website, compile website activity reports and perform
other services associated with website activity and Internet usage for the
website operator.
The IP address transmitted from your browser in the
context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data. Users
can prevent cookies from being stored using the relevant setting in their
browser software, however, users should be aware that they may not be able to
completely use all of this website’s functions in that case. Users can also
prevent the logging of data generated through the cookie and their use of the
website (including their IP address) by Google and the processing of this data
through Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via
the following link:

Right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection and data portability
Right of access (Article 15 GDPR)
If
requested, we will, at any time, give you information free of charge about
whether we process your personal data and, if so, what personal data of yours we
process. A right of access does not apply if providing such information would
disclose other information that, due to legislation or by nature, ought to be
kept confidential, particularly due to the overriding legitimate interest of a
third party.

You have the right to obtain rectification of incorrect
personal data concerning you at any time from the controller.

obtain from us the immediate erasure of your personal data or its blocking from
further processing if erasure is not possible for technical reasons, provided
one of the grounds specified in Article 17, paragraph 1, points (a) to (f) GDPR
apply. If the data is required for the performance of the contract or to
implement measures prior to the contract, early erasure of the data is only
possible if contractual or legal obligations do not oppose erasure.
Right to restriction of processing (Article
18 GDPR)
You have the
right to obtain from us the restriction of the processing of your personal data
if one of the grounds specified in Article 18, paragraph 1, points (a) to (d)

withdrawal.
