Information on data security
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests 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 line. If the SSL encryption is activated, the data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
We also use 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 line with technological developments.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may be subject to security gaps. It is therefore not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

Purposes of processing
To analyze usage data and to improve and optimize the content of our website, we use the service Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Through the use of Google Analytics, we, as website operators, can analyze the behavior of the users of our website. In doing so, we obtain various usage data such as page views, length of stay, technical information such as the operating system or web browser used and the approximate geographical origin of the user.
This data may be summarized by Google in a profile and assigned to the user or the terminal device used. Google uses technologies such as cookies or device fingerprinting, which enable recognition for the purpose of analyzing usage behavior. The information thus generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We would like to point out, however, that your IP address will be truncated by Google in member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before this happens. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. You can find more information on terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
Legal basis for processing
The data processing is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent) as well as our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the optimization of our online offer and our web presence. Since the privacy of our visitors is particularly important to us, the IP address is anonymized by Google as soon as possible.
You can revoke any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future by preventing the storage of cookies by means of a corresponding setting in your browser software or by revoking your consent via the link "Cookie settings" in the footer of our website.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when visiting this website. To prevent Universal Analytics from collecting data across multiple devices, you must opt-out on all systems in use. Click here to set the opt-out cookie: Disable Google Analytics
We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the GDPR when using Google Analytics.

Purposes of processing
This site uses so called web fonts, which are provided by Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. In this case, however, the correct display of the website cannot be guaranteed. You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Legal basis for processing
The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Purposes of processing
On some pages of our website we use the Google Tag Manager. The Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage website tags through an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If disabled at the domain or cookie level, it will remain disabled for all tracking tags implemented by Google Tag Manager.
Legal basis for processing
The use of Google Tag Manager is in the interest of a centralized management of website tags in our web presence. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

When you use one of our contact forms, your details and information about your interaction with our website are recorded and transferred to the service provider HubSpot. We use this data for the purpose of contacting you and analyzing website usage. Website usage data is only processed on a personal basis if you use one of our contact forms or request the download of information material.
In the context of the processing of personal data by HubSpot, it may be necessary that data is processed on servers of HubSpot USA, which are located outside the European Union and the European Economic Area. In this context, the USA is considered a so-called "third country" which does not offer an adequate level of data protection. In the event of data transfer to the USA, there is therefore a fundamental risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you possibly having any legal remedies.
The permissibility of the transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, which we have concluded with HubSpot USA.
