Privacy

Below, we inform you about the collection of personal data.

The controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Ms. Anne Zeller (see also our legal notice).

Our website can generally be used without providing personal data. Where personal data is collected on our pages, this is, as far as possible, always done on a voluntary basis. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data.

Stored data is deleted without delay once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies, provided no retention periods stand in the way.

If we use commissioned service providers for individual functions of our offering and data is transmitted to them, we inform you in detail about the respective processes below.

Our website can generally be used without providing personal data. Where personal data (for example name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is, as far as possible, always done on a voluntary basis. This data is not passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (for example when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

We hereby expressly object to the use by third parties of contact details published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending advertising and information material that was not expressly requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, for example by spam emails.

What is personal data?

Personal data is any individual information about personal or factual circumstances that can be used to establish a connection to a specific or identifiable natural person, such as name, age, marital status, date of birth, postal address, phone number, email address or account number. In some cases, even the IP address is regarded as personal data.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data.

Use of the collected information: cookies

In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive, assigned to the browser you use, and through which certain information flows to the body that sets the cookie (here: us). Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the online offering more user-friendly and effective overall.

Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close the browser. These include in particular session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, which allows different requests from your browser to be assigned to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a specified period, which can differ depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. We point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website.

Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager)

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited (Ireland). It is integrated via Google Tag Manager. Google Analytics sets cookies and records which pages are viewed and which actions take place on our website, for example form submissions or clicks. The information is transmitted to Google, including to the USA.

Analytics services only load and measure after you have consented. We manage your choice through the consent tool Cookiebot. Google Consent Mode v2 ensures that Google only receives the signals that correspond to your choice.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent) and § 25 (1) TDDDG (German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act). A data processing agreement exists with Google. The EU-US Data Privacy Framework applies to the transfer to the USA.

You can withdraw your consent at any time in the cookie settings. You can find the storage duration of the Google cookies in the cookie declaration.
