Privacy policy

This is a translation for information purposes. Only the German version is legally binding.

1. The essentials first

This website does not set cookies, does not use analytics or tracking tools and does not embed any third-party content. Fonts and all other files are loaded from our own web space. Personal data is only processed in the hosting provider's server log files and when you contact us.

2. Controller

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

3. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by STRATO GmbH, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin (“Strato”). We have concluded a data processing agreement with Strato pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

When you visit the website, Strato automatically records information transmitted by your browser:

  • browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in providing the website securely and without errors. Further information: www.strato.de/datenschutz

4. Contact by e-mail, phone or fax

If you contact us, we process your enquiry, including the personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), in order to deal with your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is related to a mandate or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in handling enquiries effectively (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The data remains with us until you ask us to delete it or the purpose of storage no longer applies. Statutory retention periods, in particular those under professional law, remain unaffected.

Please note that unencrypted e-mails are not fully protected against access by third parties during transmission.

5. Fonts

This website uses the font “Jost”. It is stored on our web space; when the page is loaded, no connection is made to third-party servers, such as those of Google.

6. SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by “https://” and the padlock symbol in your browser's address bar.

7. Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose of the processing no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for erasure, we will delete your data unless statutory retention periods prevent this; in that case, the data will be deleted once those periods have expired.

8. Your rights

You have the right at any time to

  • access to your stored data and information about its origin, recipients and purpose (Art. 15 GDPR),
  • rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR),
  • erasure (Art. 17 GDPR),
  • restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR),
  • data portability (Art. 20 GDPR),
  • withdrawal of consent given, with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR).

To exercise these rights, please contact the controller named above.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you may object at any time to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to lodge a complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen), www.ldi.nrw.de.

9. Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of the contact details published in the legal notice for sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested.
