Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics
service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). The usage includes the “Universal
Analytics” operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and
interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user’s
activities across devices.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files that are stored on your
computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by
the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the
USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP
address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in
other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. We would like
to point out that Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymization on this
website in order to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP
masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not
be merged with other data held by Google.

protection, please see https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

- Browser type and browser version

Contact
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including
the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the
enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your
consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively
on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at
any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by e-mail. The lawfulness of
the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the

revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for which the data is stored no longer
applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in
particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your enquiry,
including all personal data (name, enquiry) for the purpose of processing your request. We
will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as
your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the
implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on
your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR),
as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to
us.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to
delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data is stored no
longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory
provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

YouTube with extended data protection
This website embeds videos from YouTube. The website is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the passing on of data to YouTube partners. This means that YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you are watching a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can receive information about visitors to this website. This information is, among other things, used to collect video statistics, improve user experience and prevent fraud attempts.
If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
