The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time you access a website, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the request. This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer, which are overriding in the context of a balancing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

1.1 Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

1.2 Content Delivery Network
For the purpose of a shorter loading time, we use a so-called Content Delivery Network ("CDN") for some offers. With this service, content, e.g. large media files, are delivered via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Therefore, access data is processed on the servers of the service providers. Our service providers work for us within the framework of order processing. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA. There is no adequacy decision of the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

Cloudflare
We use the Content Delivery Network (CDN) of Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, c/o Mindspace, 80331 Munich Germany (Cloudflare) to increase the security and delivery speed of our website. This corresponds to our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). For this purpose, personal data may be processed in server log files by Cloudflare. Please compare the explanations under "Access data and hosting".

Cloudflare is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. This corresponds to our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f GDPR not to operate a content delivery network ourselves.

You have the right to object to the processing. Whether the objection is successful is to be determined in the context of a balancing of interests.

The processing of the data provided under this section is not required by law or contract. The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing. Your personal data will be stored by Cloudflare for as long as necessary for the purposes described. For more information on objection and removal options against Cloudflare, please visit : Cloudflare DPA

2. Data processing for contacting us
