Furthermore, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data have been disclosed about any rectification, erasure of data, or restriction of processing carried out under Articles 16, 17(1), 18 GDPR.

Your data processed during the use of our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, provided that there are no legal retention obligations preventing deletion, and no other statements are made below regarding specific processing procedures.
a) Session Cookies We use so-called cookies with our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process specific information about you, such as browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, as it allows, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if these cookies process data for the initiation or performance of a contract.
If the processing does not serve contract initiation or performance, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
b) Third-party Cookies In some cases, cookies from partner companies with whom we collaborate for the purposes of advertising, analysis, or website functionality may also be used with our website.

The necessary steps and measures for this depend on the Flash player you use.

Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully answered and there are no legal retention obligations preventing deletion, such as for any subsequent contract processing.
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted from your internet browser to us or our web space provider.

The provider uses links to the social networks listed below on the website.
The legal basis for this is Article 6(1) (f) GDPR. The provider's legitimate interest lies in improving the user experience of the website.

After the redirection, the respective network will collect information about the user. Initially, this includes data such as IP address, date, time, and the visited page. If the user is logged into their account on the respective network, the network operator may, if applicable, associate the collected information about the specific visit with the user's personal account.

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google."
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze user behavior on our website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function shortens the IP address already within the EU or the EEA.
The data collected in this way is then used by Google to provide us with an analysis of the visit to our website and the activities carried out on it. This data may also be used to provide additional services related to the use of our website and the internet. Google states that it does not link your IP address with other data. Additionally, Google provides further privacy information at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners, including ways to opt-out of data usage.
Furthermore, Google offers an opt-out add-on with additional information at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. This add-on can be installed on common internet browsers and provides you with greater control over the data Google collects when visiting our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that information about visits to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or other web analytics services. Whether and which other web analytics services we use will also be provided in this privacy policy.
