Privacy Policy for the Google Analytics web analysis service
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies – text files that are saved on your computer and allow your use of the website to be analysed. The information on your use of this website generated by the cookies is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. We have activated IP anonymisation. On this website, Google will therefore first abbreviate your IP address within the member states of the European Union or other signatory states of the agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on the website activities and provide further services to the website operator related to the website use and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data form Google. You can prevent cookies being saved by changing the settings of your browser software. However, please note that this may prevent you from using all the functions of this website in their full scope. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) being sent to Google and this data being processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

For this access, please contact the provider using the contact details in the legal notice.
Personal data
You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Where personal data (e.g. name, address or email address) is gathered on our website, this is on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. Where a contractual relationship is to be established, developed or modified or you submit an enquiry to us, we collect and use your personal data where this is necessary for this purpose (inventory data). We collect, process and use personal data where this is necessary in order to enable you to use the online services (usage data). All personal data is saved only for as long as this is necessary for the named purpose (processing your enquiry or executing a contract). Retention periods under tax and trade law are adhered to. By order of the responsible bodies, we are permitted to provide information on this data (inventory data) in individual cases where this is necessary for the purposes of prosecution, hazard prevention, meeting statutory duties of the constitutional protection authorities or the Military Counterintelligence Service, or asserting intellectual property rights.
Analysis by wiredminds
Our website uses a counting pixel technology provided by wiredminds GmbH
(www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior. If necessary, data is collected, processed and stored, from which user profiles are created under a pseudonym.
Wherever possible and reasonable, these usage profiles are completely anonymized. Cookies can be used for this
purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor’s Internet browser and serve to recognize the Internet browser. The collected data, which may also contain personal data, will be transmitted to wiredminds or collected directly by wiredminds.
wiredminds may use information that is left by visiting the websites to create anonymized usage profiles. The data obtained without explicit consent of the affected person will not be used to personally identify the visitor of this website and will not be merged with personal data of the bearer of the pseudonym. Whenever IP addresses are recorded, their immediate anonymization takes place by deleting the last number block.

Friendly Captcha
Description and purpose
This website uses the service “Friendly Captcha” (www.friendlycaptcha.com). This service is an offer of the provider Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany. Friendly Captcha is a novel, privacy-friendly protection solution to make it more difficult for automated programs and scripts (so-called “bots”) to use this website. In this context, we have integrated a program code from Friendly Captcha into our website (e.g. for contact forms) so that the end device of the visitor can establish a connection to the servers of Friendly Captcha in order to receive a calculation task from Friendly Captcha. The end device of the respective visitor solves the calculation task (puzzle), which takes up certain system resources, and sends the calculation result to our web server. This web server contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives as a response whether the puzzle was solved correctly by the end device. Depending on the result, we can apply security rules to requests via our website and thus, for example, process them further or reject them.
Friendly Captcha processes and stores the following data in the process described above:
- Anonymized IP address of the requesting computer.
- Information about the browser used, as well as operating system.
- Anonymized counter per IP address to control the cryptographic tasks.
- Web page from which the access took place.
- The version of the widget.
- A timestamp.
This data is used exclusively for the protection against spam and bots described above. Friendly Captcha does not set or read cookies on the visitor’s device. IP addresses are only stored in hashed (one-way encrypted) form and do not allow us and Friendly Captcha to draw any conclusions about an individual person.
Legal basis
The legal basis for the processing is our overriding legitimate interests in protecting our website from abusive access by bots, hence spam protection and protection against attacks (e.g. mass requests), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.
Recipient
The recipient is Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee.
Transmission to third countries
A transfer to a third country does not take place.
Objection
According to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you exercise your right, processing for this purpose will no longer take place. You can find more information on this in our privacy policy under “Rights of data subjects”.
Duration of data storage
If personal data is collected, it will be deleted after 30 days at the latest.
Contractual and legal obligation
There is no contractual or legal obligation for the provision of the data.
