3. Data collection on our website

Use of cookies and DOM storage

Our website uses cookies in some cases. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive by your browser and can be read during a subsequent visit.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

DOM storage is a technology that allows website data to be stored in your web browser and read during a subsequent visit. Files can be stored for the duration of a session or persistently. A session typically lasts until the browser window is closed.

Brute force protection

Our website is based on the WordPress content management system. WordPress provides an administrative area where the content of the website can be edited. Only editors and administrators of this website have access to this area. This access is monitored and logged by the WordPress plugin “Solid Security,” for example in the event of incorrect logins or attempts to find out access data by frequently testing passwords (“brute force attack”). Access attempts to the administrative area are stored in our database together with the IP address for 7 days and then deleted. In the event of multiple unlawful access attempts, the IP address will be stored and blocked beyond this period. There is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in the collection and processing of the IP address by “Solid Security,” as this protects this site from technical attacks and unauthorized access attempts. This ensures the security of the entire website and the stability of our server, and also protects any personal data that may be processed elsewhere. The IP addresses used for verification are only used by “Solid Security” for this purpose. Brute force protection only applies to the administrative area of our website and therefore does not affect the use of our website outside the protected area.
Paragraph

Newsletter

We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with information (hereinafter “newsletter”) with the consent of the recipient (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or a legal authorisation. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the user’s consent. Our newsletters also contain information about upcoming events organised by our company.

The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no-one can register with other people’s e-mail addresses.

Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address.

You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. Your consent to the sending of the newsletter via MailChimp and the statistical analyses will expire at the same time. Unfortunately, it is not possible to cancel the sending of the newsletter via MailChimp or the statistical analyses separately.

You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.

Use of the mailing service provider “MailChimp”

The newsletter is sent using “MailChimp”, a newsletter dispatch platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Your email addresses and the other data collected as part of the newsletter (e.g. information about the browser and your system, your IP address, time of retrieval) are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and analyse the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, MailChimp may, according to its own information, use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties.

We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of MailChimp. MailChimp is certified under the US-EU data protection agreement EU-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks (previously “Privacy Shield“) and thus undertakes to comply with EU data protection regulations. Furthermore, we have concluded a “Data Processing Agreement” with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view MailChimp’s privacy policy here.

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our activities.

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the broadest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions of the respective operators apply; please refer to their data protection notices for the relevant rights and setting options to protect your privacy.
