  • the page from which the file was requested
  • the name of the file,
  • the date and time of the request,

Our service providers are strictly bound by instructions to us and are contractually obligated accordingly. The providers are Automaticc Inc, 60 29th St, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA and Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Cookies

We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device and can be read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. Cookies can contain data that allow the recognition of the used browser.

In some cases, however, cookies only contain information on certain settings that cannot be related to a specific person.

We use session cookies and persistent cookies on our websites. The legal basis for technically required cookies is Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG and Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO to ensure the functionality of our website.
The legal basis for technically unnecessary cookies is your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG and, with regard to the subsequent data processing, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time by selecting this accordingly, e.g. in the cookie settings/”change privacy settings” at the bottom of each page. You must delete cookies that have already been set from your browser settings. Data processing is lawful until you withdraw your consent.

You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the corresponding browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our websites may then not be displayed optimally and some functions may no longer be technically available.

Google Analytics

We create pseudonymous usage profiles with the help of Google Analytics in order to design our website. Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your terminal device and can be read by us. In this way, we are able to recognise returning visitors and count them as such. Google Analytics is deactivated by default on our websites and is only activated if you have given us your consent to set tracking cookies. The data processing is carried out in accordance with. § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG  as well as Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO on the basis of your consent.

As part of Google Analytics, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland supports us as a processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are stored on your end device for up to two years and can be read by Google. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website can be transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and stored there. However, since we have activated IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be processed by Google i. i.e. R. previously shortened within member states of the European Union. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Data processing can therefore also take place outside the EU or the EEA. With regard to Google LLC, an appropriate level of data protection cannot be assumed due to the processing in the USA. There is a risk that authorities will access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or being able to appeal. Please keep this in mind if you choose to consent to our use of Google Analytics. The provision of your personal data is voluntary and not required by law or contract. There are no consequences for you if you do not provide it. There is no automated decision making. You can revoke your consent at any time. Please use one of the following options for this:

  • You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser
  • In addition, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Further information about data processing by Google can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de#zippy=%2Ccookies-und-kennzeichnungen-von-google-analytics

Contact Options
You can contact us by email or telephone. We only process the transmitted data in order to process your request. If it is necessary to transmit information or documents to third parties, we will first remove all personal data that is not required for the stated purpose. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) DSGVO for general inquiries. If a request concerns the performance of a contract to which you are a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are taken in response to your request, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b) DSGVO is the correct legal basis.
If the information from a contact request is no longer required, we will delete it.

Explanation of security measures

Data security

In order to protect your data from unwanted access as comprehensively as possible, we take technical and organizational measures. We use an encryption procedure on our pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using TLS encryption. You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol is closed in the status bar of your browser and the address line begins with https://.

Your personal information is kept confidential.

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR):

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have a right to be informed about this personal data and to receive the information listed in detail in Art. 15 DSGVO.

Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16 and 17 GDPR):

You have the right to request without undue delay the rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning you and, where applicable, the completion of any incomplete personal data.

You also have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted without delay, provided that one of the reasons listed in detail in Article 17 of the GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued.

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DSGVO):

You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 DSGVO applies, e.g. if you have objected to the processing, for the duration of any review.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO):

In certain cases, which are detailed in Art. 20 DSGVO, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.

Right of withdrawal (Article 7 DSGVO)
If data is processed on the basis of your consent, you are entitled under Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR to revoke your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please note that the revocation only applies to the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.

Right to object (Art. 21 DSGVO):

If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) (data processing for the protection of legitimate interests), you have the right to object to the processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of data concerning you violates data protection provisions. The right to lodge a complaint may in particular be asserted before a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.

Data processing by us
Public Relations

The data you provide on our social media pages, such as usernames, comments, videos, images, likes, public messages, etc., will be published by the social media platform and will never be processed by us for any other purpose. We only reserve the right to delete content if this should be necessary. We may share your content on our site where this is a feature of the social media platform and communicate with you through the social media platform.

If you send us an inquiry on the social media platform, depending on the content, we may also refer you to other secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality. For example, you have the option at any time to send us your inquiries to the address given in the imprint or to [email protected]. It is your own responsibility to choose the appropriate communication channel.

The legal basis for the aforementioned processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The data is processed in the legitimate interest of doing public relations work for our company and being able to communicate with you.

Data processing in joint responsibility
We are jointly responsible for some of the processing activities with the respective operator of the social media platform.

Statistics (Insights)
The social media platforms used regularly create statistics (insights) based on usage data that contain information about your interaction with our social media site. We cannot influence or prevent the implementation and provision of these statistics.
However, we do not use optional statistics from the social media platform.
We process the above information (statistics) in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) DSGVO in the legitimate interest of validating the use of our social media pages and improving our content in a target group-oriented manner.

Data processing by the operator of the social media platform
The operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered on the social media platform.
We would therefore like to point out that it cannot be ruled out that the operator of the social media platform uses and evaluates your profile and behavioral data for their own purposes. We have no influence on the processing of your data by the operator of the social media platform. Please keep this in mind when using the social media platform.
You can find more information on data processing by the operator of the social media platform, configuration options to protect your privacy and other options for objecting to this in the operator’s data protection declaration.

We delete your personal data when they are no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and there are no legal storage requirements to prevent deletion.

Your rights as a user
As a user, you have the option of asserting the above-mentioned rights both against us and against the operator of the social media platform if the requirements are met:
