Cookies are small text files that are stored in a user’s internet browser via a website. First-party cookies are set by us, whereas third-party cookies are set by third-party companies to integrate specific services within the website. According to § 25 II TTDSG, consent is not required if the setting of cookies is strictly necessary for us to provide the telemedia service you have requested. This includes, for example, so-called « functional cookies. » An overview of all used cookies can be found in the privacy settings (cookie banner). You can give your consent to entire categories or view more information and thus select only certain cookies.
Transfer of Data to Third Countries
Referring to the above statements, some of the servers used by our cookies or external services are located in the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA, therefore it is considered an unsafe third country for data transfers. We process and share your data exclusively with companies to which you have explicitly consented, and we base our processing on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Newsletter Registration
You have the opportunity to sign up for our free newsletter on our website. In this context, we process personal data from you for the purpose of sending our regular newsletters and for our own marketing purposes. The legal basis for this is your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Inquiries via Contact Form, Email, and Telephone
When you contact us via our contact form, email, or telephone, your inquiry, including all resultant personal data, is stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your concern. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual actions. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in the effective processing of the inquiries directed to us.
The data you send us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g., after the completion of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – especially legal retention periods – remain unaffected.
