Definitions

Our privacy policy should be simple and understandable for everyone. For this reason, our privacy policy generally uses the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.

Server- Logfiles

Once you visit our website, it is technically necessary that data is transmitted to our web server via your internet browser. The following data is recorded during an active connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server

  • Date and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • Access status
  • Web browser used and operating system used
    (Full) IP address of the requesting computer
  • Transmitted amount of data

We collect the listed data in order to guarantee a frictionless connection establishment and to enable a comfortable use of our website by the users. The log file also serves for evaluating system security and stability as well as administrative purposes. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data or log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server, we may temporarily store this data. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons on the basis of this data. After 7 days at the latest, the data is made anonymous by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. This data is not evaluated in anonymous form except for statistical purposes. This data is not combined with data from other data sources.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies which are stored on your device by the browser and contain certain settings for the use of the website (e.g. the current session). Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and stored by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted after the browser is closed. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them, or the storage period expires.

These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. In some cases, cookies are used to simplify website processes by saving settings (e.g. settings that have already been made during previous visits). If personal data are also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either to fulfil the contract, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

External links

On our website Social Media (facebook, twitter, youtube and soundcloud) is embedded as a link to the respective service. After clicking on the embedded text/image-link you will be directed to the website of the respective provider. User information will in this case be transferred after the redirection to the respective provider. Information regarding the use of your personal data through the use of the website can be found in the privacy policies of the visited websites.

Twitter plugin

Our website uses features of the Twitter service. The provider is Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

Twitter is a multilingual public microblogging platform on which users can publish and distribute ‘tweets’ (short messages of 280 characters or fewer). These tweets can be accessed by everyone, including by people not registered with Twitter. Twitter enables users to communicate with a wide audience using hashtags, links and retweets.

Every time you access one of the pages operated by the data controller and in which a Twitter component has been embedded, your browser will automatically download a copy of the Twitter component concerned onto your system. For more information on the Twitter timeline visit https://help.twitter.com/en/using-twitter/embed-twitter-feed.

If you are at the same time logged in to your Twitter account then, every time you access the website on which the Twitter components are embedded, Twitter will know which pages of our website you visit. This information will be gathered by the Twitter components and assigned by Twitter to your Twitter account.

If you have given us your consent, your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You are free to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.

If when you access our website you are at the same time logged in to your Twitter account, Twitter will via these components be informed of your visit and this will happen regardless of whether you click on the Twitter components or not. If you do not wish this information to be shared with Twitter in this way, you should log out of your Twitter account before accessing our website.

Since a transfer of personal data to the U.S. takes place, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To guarantee this, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR.
