5. Use of Google Analytics

• This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, i.e. text files saved on your computer permitting analysis of your use of our website. The information on your use of this website generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, first be abbreviated by Google within the European Union member states and other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there in exceptional cases. On behalf of the provider of this website, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website provider with further services connected to website use and internet use.


• The IP addresses transmitted in connection with Google Analytics will not be associated with other data stored by Google.


• You can prevent storage of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software; we would, however, like to point out that, if you do so, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

• This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()“. This means IP addresses are abbreviated before being processed further, preventing association with a person. If the data collected could be associated with your person, this is therefore immediately prevented and the data related to your person is immediately deleted.

10. Safety measures

• As required by Art. 32 GDPR, we take suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the cost of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing as well as the risks of varying likelihood and severity for rights and freedoms of natural persons.


• These measures include, in particular, the safeguarding of reliability, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data as well as access associated with the data, input, disclosure, safeguarding of availability and separation. Moreover, we have established methods for ensuring that affected parties can exercise their rights, for ensuring data deletion and appropriate reactions to risks to the data. Moreover, we take the protection of personal data into account even when developing or selecting hardware, software and methods, based on the principle of data protection by design and by default settings conducive to data protection (Art. 25 GDPR).


• To ensure security and safeguard the transfer of confidential data, e.g. enquiries, transmitted by you to us in our role as the provider of the websites, these websites use SSL encryption. An encrypted connection is indicated by the address bar of your browser changing from “http://“ to “https://” and a padlock symbol in your browser bar. When this SSL encryption is active, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.


• We would, however, like to point out that online data transmission (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) is subject to security vulnerabilities. Perfect protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

11. Cooperation with processors and third parties

• If we disclose, transmit or otherwise grant access to data to other persons and companies (order processors or third parties) in the context of our processing of this data, this is only done on the basis of legal permissibility (e.g. when transmission of data to third parties, such as financial service providers, is required according to Art. 6 section 1 (b) GDPR for contract performance), on the basis of your consent, based on a legal obligation or our legitimate interest, e.g. when commissioning service providers, web hosts, etc.


• If we commission third parties to process our data based on a so-called processing contract, this will be based on Art. 28 GDPR.

12. Transfer to third countries

If we process data in a third country, i.e. outside of the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) or if this is done in the context of using third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this shall only be done, if it is required for performing our (pre-)contractual obligations, if you have given your consent, or if it is based on a legal obligation or on our legitimate interest. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process data or have data processed in third countries, if the special prerequisites of Art. 44 ff. GDPR exist. I.e. processing is, e.g. based on special safeguards, such as the official establishment of a data protection level equivalent to that of the EU or adherence to officially recognized special contractual obligations (“standard contractual clauses”).
