General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website.
If you have given your consent to the data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point (a) GDPR and Art. 9 (2) point (a) GDPR, if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed.

You will be informed of the legal basis relevant in each case in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Information on the transfer of data to the USA and other third countries
We use among other things tools of companies based in the USA or other unsecure third countries within the meaning of data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that in these countries a level of data protection comparable with the EU cannot be guaranteed. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities, and you do not have the right as the data subject to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, analyse and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over this processing activity.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing procedures are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw at any time any consent that you have given. The lawfulness of the processing that has taken place up until the withdrawal will not be affected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) POINT (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR ANY PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVIDE PROOF OF COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ENFORCEMENT, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL RIGHTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).
IF PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOURSELF FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to complain to the responsible supervisory authority
In the event of a breach of GDPR, the data subject has the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of his/her place of residence, his/her place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The data subject will have the right to complain notwithstanding any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have the data which we process by automated means on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract issued to yourself or a third party in a commonly-used and machine-readable format. If you ask for the data to be transferred to another controller, this will only be done if this is technically feasible.
Information, erasure, correction
You have within the scope of the applicable statutory regulations at all times the right to receive free of charge information on your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to the correction or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time concerning this or if you have any other questions relating to personal data.
Right to limit the processing
You have the right to ask for the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time concerning this. The right to restriction of processing will exist in the following cases:
- If you challenge the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will generally need time to check this. For the duration of this check, you have the right to ask for the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data takes/took place unlawfully, you have the right to ask for the restriction of the data processing instead of its erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercising, defence or enforcement of legal rights, you have the right to ask for the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
- If you have made an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, our interests have to be balanced against your interests. Until it is decided whose interests are overriding, you have the right to ask for the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have limited the processing of your personal data, this data will, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the enforcement, exercising or defence of legal rights or for the protection of the rights of another natural person or legal entity or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL/TLS encryption

Our social media presences
This privacy policy applies to the following social media presences
Data processing by social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks. The social networks used by us can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively, when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). When you visit our social media presences, numerous processing operations covered by data protection law are triggered. Specifically:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Your personal data can under certain circumstances also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case the data is collected for example by cookies which are stored on your device or by collecting your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media profiles can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, advertising tailored to your interests can be displayed within and outside of the social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the advertising tailored to your interests can be displayed on all devices in which you are or were logged into.
Please also note that we are not able to track all of the processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may possibly be performed by the operators of the social media portals. Details on this can be found in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences should ensure an as comprehensive a presence as possible in the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) point (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may possibly be based on a different legal basis, which is to be disclosed by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Controller and exercising of rights
When you visit one of our social media presences (e.g. Facebook), we are responsible together with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. You can assert your rights (right to information, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and right to complain) against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).
Please note that, despite the joint responsibility with the social media operator, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options largely depend on the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage period
The data collected directly bus us via the social media presence will be erased by our systems as soon as you ask us to erase it, withdraw your consent for it to be stored or the purpose for which it is stored no longer exists. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage period of your data which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. Please obtain the information on this from the operators of the social networks direct (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below)
Your rights
You have at all times the right to receive free of charge information on the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, to data portability and to complain to the responsible supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can ask for the correction, blocking, erasure and under certain circumstances the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
