3 Collection of Personal Data When Visiting Our Website

(1) If you use the website for information purposes only, meaning that you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we collect only the personal data that your browser transmits to our server.

(2) In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your hard drive and assigned to the browser you use; they provide certain information to the party that sets the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.

(3) Use of Cookies:

a) This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and operation of which are explained below:

– Transient cookies (see b)

– Persistent cookies (see c).

b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include session cookies in particular. They store a session ID that allows different requests from your browser to be assigned to the same session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser's security settings.

d) You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for example, refuse third-party cookies or all cookies. Please note that you may then be unable to use all functions of this website.

(4) Use of Google Analytics

a) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (Google). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, Google will first truncate your IP address within Member States of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet use.

b) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.

c) You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that you may then be unable to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

d) This website uses Google Analytics with the _anonymizeIp() extension. IP addresses are therefore processed only in truncated form, which prevents them from being linked to a specific individual. If the data collected about you contains any personal reference, that reference is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted without delay.

e) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The resulting statistics help us improve our offering and make it more relevant to you as a user. For exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the United States, Google has committed to the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4 Data Security

(1) When you visit our website, we use the widely adopted SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol together with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is generally 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can identify whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed key or padlock symbol in your browser's status bar.

(2) We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
