Thank you for your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we will inform you in detail about how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without giving any information about yourself. Each time you access a website, the web server simply automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to protect our prevailing legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your page visit.

1.1 Hosting

Some of the services for hosting and displaying the website are provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in these countries: USA
There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with you is based on these guarantees: European Commission standard data protection clauses

1.2 Webflow

We host our website with Webflow. The provider is Webflow, Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (hereinafter: Webflow). When you visit our website, Webflow collects various log files, including your IP addresses.

Webflow is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably as possible. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

1.3 Content Delivery Network

For the purpose of shorter loading times, we use a so-called content delivery network (“CDN”) for some offers. With this service, content, e.g. large media files, is delivered via regionally distributed servers from external CDN service providers. Access data is therefore processed on the service providers' servers. Our service providers work for us as part of order processing. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA. There is no adequacy decision from the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission.
