2. General and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. We would like to point out that the transmission of data online (e.g. in emails) is not 100% secure. A complete protection of your data against third-party access is impossible.

 

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://”, and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of our webpages use cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide to accept or reject each cookie. Alternatively, your browser can automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or always reject them, and you can also instruct it to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Active components

Our website uses so-called “active components” such as Javascript. These functions can be disabled by making the appropriate settings in your internet browser.

 

Use of script libraries and Google fonts

To ensure that the current, error-free versions of script libraries such as Javascript libraries are always used, for the purposes of ensuring the correct functionality of this site and your security, these are partly hosted on external servers called CDNs. When a page is opened, a connection to the library server is established. The script library is then cached in the browser to avoid further latency due to loading. It is theoretically possible for the library operators to collect data each time their servers are accessed. ´

For correct cross-browser font display, the Google Fonts external font library is used. The fonts are then cached in the browser to avoid further latency due to loading. The operator of Google Fonts is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google collects, processes, and uses data obtained when accessing its servers.

For details on how Google processes such data, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

The first copy is free of charge; we may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies. We can only provide a copy if the rights of other persons are not affected.

 

Right to rectification of the data under Art. 16 GDPR

You are entitled to ask us to correct your data if it is incorrect and/or incomplete. This right also includes the right to complete it with further information or supplementary statements. A correction and/or supplement must be implemented without undue delay.

 

Right to erasure of your data deleted per Art. 17 GDPR

You are entitled to request that we delete your personal data

  • if the personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it as collected and processed;
  • if data you withdraw your consent on which the processing is based;

This does not apply, however, if

  • there is another legal basis for its continued data processing;
  • if you have lodged an objection to the processing of the data based on your legitimate interest per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or lit. f;
  • if there are legitimate grounds for the processing overriding your legitimate interests;

  • the personal data is required to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

The deletion must be carried out immediately (without undue delay). If we have made personal data public (e.g. by posting it online), we must ensure, as far as is technically possible and reasonable, that other data processors are also informed about the request for its deletion, including the deletion of any links, copies, and/or replicas.

 

The right to restrict data processing per Art. 18 GDPR

You are entitled to restrict the processing of your personal data in the following cases:

  • If you have any doubt as to the accuracy of the data about you processed by us, you can require that we no longer use such data and restrict its processing until such time as its accuracy is verified.
  • If the data has been unlawfully processed, you can opt to restrict its further processing  instead of requesting it to be deleted
  • If you need the personal data to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, but we no longer need it, you may require us to restrict its processing as you pursue said legal rights.
  • If you have objected to data processing per Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate grounds to continue its processing override your interests, you can demand that your data not be used for any other purposes until such time as this question is answered.
  • If you have restricted the further processing of your personal data, it may subsequently only be processed (with the exception of the storage):
    – with your consent;
  • to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims;
  • to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons; or
  • for reasons of important public interest.

If the restriction of the processing is repealed, you will be notified before any processing resumes.

 

The right to data portability per Art. 20 GDPR.

You are entitled to request the data you have made available to us in a common electronic format (e.g. as a PDF or Excel document).
You may also require us to transfer this information directly to another company specified by you, to the extent it is technically feasible for us.
This may occur only if you are entitled to do so, and if the processing has taken place on the basis of your consent or to fulfill a contract and has taken place via automated means.
The exercise of this right to data portability shall not affect the rights and freedoms of others. If you exercise this right, this does not affect your right to obtain the deletion of your data under Art. 17 GDPR.

 

Right to object to certain types of data processing per Art. 21 GDPR

If your data is processed for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us, you may nevertheless object to such processing. You must explain to us the reasons for this objection that arise from your particular situation. This may include for example special family circumstances or legitimate interests in keeping said data secret.

If you so object to the processing of your data, we shall then no longer process such data, unless:
there are compelling, legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms; or the processing is necessary to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

You may object to the use of your data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with direct marketing measures. If you object, we shall no longer use your data for direct marketing purposes.

We never initiate or engage in any direct marketing and/or profiling.

 

Prohibition of automated decision-making/profiling per Art. 22 GDPR

Decisions we make that may have legal consequences or significantly affect you must not be based solely on the automated processing of your personal data. This includes profiling.

This prohibition does not apply if the automated decision

  • is required to enter into or fulfill a contractual relationship with you;
  • is permitted by law, provided adequate

measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests are ensured; or is based on your express consent.

Decisions based exclusively on automated processing of special categories of personal data (= sensitive data) are only permitted if made on the basis of your express consent or if there is a significant public interest in its processing and if adequate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

 

Exercising your rights

To exercise your rights, please contact the persons listed in §1. Requests submitted electronically are usually answered electronically. The information, communications, and measures to be provided under GDPR, including the exercise of your rights are generally provided free of charge. Only in the case of manifestly unfounded or excessive claims are we entitled to levy an appropriate fee for processing your request or otherwise refrain to act on the request (Art. 12 para. 5 GDPR).

If there are reasonable doubts about your identity, we may request additional information from you for identification purposes. If an identification is not possible for us, we may refuse to process your request. We will, to the extent possible, notify you separately if we require further proof of identity (see Art. 12 para. 6 and Art. 11 GDPR).

Information and information requests are usually processed immediately (within one month) after receipt of the request. The deadline may be extended for a further two months, to the extent necessary and taking into account the complexity and/or the number of requests. In the event of an extension, we will inform you of the reasons for the delay within one month of receipt of your request. If we fail to act upon your request, we will promptly notify you of the reasons for doing so within one month of receipt of the request, and inform you of your option to lodge a complaint with a regulatory authority or to seek judicial remedy. (Art. 12 para. 3 and 4 GDPR).

Please note that you can only exercise your rights with regard to the restrictions permitted in the EU or the member states. (Art. 23 GDPR)
