2. Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

When you use our website solely for informational purposes, meaning that you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server, commonly referred to as “server log files”.

When you access our website, we collect the following data that is technically necessary in order to display the website to you:

The website visited

Processing is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

The data will not be disclosed or used for any other purpose.

However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively if there are specific indications of unlawful use.

3. Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies on various pages.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device.

Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser. These are known as “session cookies”.

Other cookies remain on your device and enable us or our partner companies, where third-party cookies are used, to recognise your browser on your next visit. These are known as “persistent cookies”.

Where cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information to varying extents, including browser and location data as well as IP address values.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period, which may vary depending on the cookie.

Where personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where necessary for the performance of a contract, or pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in order to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective website experience.

We may cooperate with advertising partners who help us make our online offering more relevant and attractive to users.

For this purpose, cookies from partner companies may also be stored on your device when you visit our website.

Where we cooperate with such advertising partners, you will be informed separately about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

Please note that you can configure your browser so that you are informed whenever cookies are set and can decide individually whether to accept them, or exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally.

Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. The relevant settings are described in the help menu of each browser.

5. Website Functions

5.1 Use of YouTube Videos

This website uses YouTube's embedding functionality to display and play videos provided by YouTube, which is operated by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
4 Barrow Street
Dublin
D04 E5W5
Ireland

(“Google”)

The enhanced privacy mode is used. According to the provider, this means that the storage of user information only begins once a video is played.

When playback of an embedded YouTube video is started, YouTube uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour.

According to information provided by YouTube, these cookies are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive practices.

If you are logged into your Google account and click on a video, your data may be directly associated with your account.

If you do not want this information to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the video.

You have the right to object to the creation of such user profiles. To exercise this right, you must contact YouTube.

When using YouTube, personal data may also be transferred to servers operated by Google LLC in the United States.

Irrespective of whether an embedded video is played, a connection to the Google network may be established each time a page containing such functionality is accessed. This may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control.

All processing described above, in particular the reading of information from the device used through tracking technologies, will only take place if you have provided us with your explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Without such consent, YouTube videos will not be activated during your visit to our website.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

To withdraw your consent, please deactivate this service using the cookie consent tool provided on the website or by using any alternative options communicated to you on the website.

Further information regarding privacy at YouTube can be found in YouTube's Terms of Service and Google's Privacy Policy.

5.2 Use of Vimeo Videos

Our website includes plugins from the video platform Vimeo, operated by:

Vimeo, LLC
555 West 18th Street
New York, NY 10011
USA

When you access a page of our website containing such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Vimeo's servers.

The content of the plugin is transmitted directly by Vimeo to your browser and integrated into the page.

Through this integration, Vimeo receives information that your browser has accessed the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged into Vimeo.

This information, including your IP address, is transmitted directly from your browser to a Vimeo server in the United States and stored there.

If you are logged into Vimeo, Vimeo may directly associate your visit to our website with your Vimeo account.

If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the play button of a video, this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

If you do not want Vimeo to directly associate the data collected through our website with your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

Information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Vimeo, as well as your rights and privacy settings, can be found in Vimeo's Privacy Policy.

For Vimeo videos embedded on our website, Vimeo may integrate Google Analytics, provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
4 Barrow Street
Dublin
D04 E5W5
Ireland

This is Vimeo's own tracking system. We have no access to it and cannot influence its operation.

Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your device that enable an analysis of your use of the relevant website.

Information generated by such cookies regarding your use of the website is generally transmitted to and stored on Google servers. This may also involve transmission to servers operated by Google LLC in the United States.

Without such consent, Vimeo videos will not be activated during your visit to our website.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

To withdraw your consent, please deactivate this service using the cookie consent tool provided on the website or by using any alternative options communicated to you on the website.

6. Tools and Other Services

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a cookie consent tool to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent.

The cookie consent tool is displayed to users when they access the website in the form of an interactive user interface through which consent can be granted for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications.

The tool ensures that all cookies and services requiring consent are only activated if the respective user provides the required consent.

This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device where consent has been granted.

The tool uses technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences.

As a general rule, personal user data is not processed for this purpose.

If, in individual cases, personal data such as an IP address is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or documenting cookie settings, such processing is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly cookie consent management and therefore in ensuring a legally compliant design of our website.

An additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Further information regarding the operator of the cookie consent tool and the available settings can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

YOU MAY EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

8. Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration for which personal data is stored is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and, where applicable, the relevant statutory retention period, including retention periods under commercial and tax law.

Where personal data is processed on the basis of explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data will be stored until the data subject withdraws their consent.

Where statutory retention periods apply to data processed in connection with contractual or similar obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, such data will routinely be deleted after the relevant retention periods have expired, provided that it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in continued storage.

Where personal data is processed pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, the data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, the data will be stored until the data subject exercises their right to object pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
