cookies
In order to make our website user-friendly and to optimally match your needs, we use cookies. Cookies are small text files that, as soon as you visit a website, are sent from a web server to your browser and stored locally on your device (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.).
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which web pages and servers can be assigned to the specific web browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited web pages and servers to distinguish the individual person's browser from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. This information is used if you visit the website again with the same device, automatically recognize you and make navigation easier for you.
The consent or rejection of cookies - also for web tracking - can be done through the settings of your web browser. You can configure your browser to refuse the acceptance of cookies in principle or to inform you in advance if a cookie is to be stored. In this case, however, the functionality of the website may be impaired (for example, in the case of orders). Your browser also offers a function to delete cookies (for example, "delete browser data"). This is possible in all common web browsers. Further information can be found in the user manual or in the settings of your browser.
Collection of general data and information
The corporate website collects a set of general data and information each time the website is accessed by an affected person or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Can be recorded:
• the browser types and versions used
• The operating system used by the accessing system
• the website from which an accessing system is uploaded to our website (so-called referrers)
• the sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
• the date and time of access to the website
• a web protocol address (IP address)
• the Internet service provider of the accessing system
• other similar data and information used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems
When using this general data and information, companies do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to:
• to deliver the contents of our website correctly
• to optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it
• To ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
• Provide law enforcement with the necessary information for law enforcement in the event of a cyberattack
These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically and also evaluated by the companies with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our companies in order to ultimately ensure the best possible level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by an affected person.
MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp to send newsletters. This service is provided by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service which organizes and analyzes the distribution of newsletters. If you provide data (e.g. your email address) to subscribe to our newsletter, it will be stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.
MailChimp is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield. The Privacy Shield is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European privacy standards in the United States.
We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file included in the email (called a web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the United States. This allows us to determine if a newsletter message has been opened and which links you click on. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.
If you do not want your usage of the newsletter to be analyzed by MailChimp, you will have to unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a link in every newsletter we send. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time by unsubscribing to the newsletter. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to distribute the newsletter until you cancel your subscription when said data will be deleted from our servers and those of MailChimp. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remains unaffected.
For details, see the MailChimp privacy policy at https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
