General Data Processing

 

1. Scope of Processing Personal Data

The processing of personal data of our users is limited to the data that is necessary for providing a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users only takes place for the purposes agreed upon with them or if there is another legal basis (in terms of the GDPR). Only such personal data is collected that is actually necessary for the execution and processing of our tasks and services, or that you have voluntarily provided to us.

 

2. Your Rights (Data Subject Rights)

You have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage duration, the existence of a right to correction, deletion, restriction of processing, or objection, data portability, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling. You also have the right to revoke any consent given for the use of your personal data at any time. If you believe that the processing of your personal data by us is contrary to applicable data protection regulations, you have the opportunity to complain to the data protection authority.

 

Description of Data Processing

 

1. Contact Form

If you fill out a contact form or send us an email or other electronic message, your information will only be stored for processing the request and any related follow-up questions, and will only be used within the scope of the request. The legal basis for processing your request is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We will delete your email address after your request has been processed.

 

2. Data Security

For the encryption (HTTPS via TLS) of our website, we use the free service "Let's Encrypt". The certificates enable us to offer so-called transport encryption, which protects communication to the website from unauthorized access by third parties. You can recognize whether an individual page of our website is encrypted by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the address bar of your browser. We will delete your email address after your request has been processed. In addition, we apply further suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in accordance with technological developments.

 

reCAPTCHA

To protect your inquiries via internet form, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, mechanical processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other data from Google. The data subject to these data protection regulations of the Google company applies.
