Privacy Policy

1. Data Protection at a Glance

General Information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the full privacy policy below.

Data Collection on This Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Contact details can be found in the section “Information on the Responsible Party” in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected in two ways:

1. Data you provide to us directly (e.g. via email).
   Since our website does not contain a contact form, you can only contact us via email.
2. Data collected automatically when you visit the website by our IT systems.
   This mainly includes technical data (e.g. browser type, IP address, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

This website does not use user accounts, tracking cookies, or similar technologies. There is no login functionality. Since no cookies are stored, a cookie banner or consent is not required. Log files generated by operating the website are therefore not considered personal data.

What do we use your data for?

Your data is used to ensure the website functions correctly or to respond to your inquiries via email. If contracts can be initiated or concluded via the website, transmitted data will also be processed for offers, orders, or other service requests.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may withdraw it at any time for the future. Under certain circumstances, you also have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding these or other data protection questions.

2. Hosting

We host our website content with the following provider:

Alfahosting GmbH
Ankerstraße 3b
06108 Halle (Saale), Germany

When you visit our website, Alfahosting collects technical log files including your IP address.

Details can be found in Alfahosting’s privacy policy.

The use of Alfahosting is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably as possible. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and §25(1) TTDSG, insofar as consent includes storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data Processing Agreement
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the provider. This legally required contract ensures that personal data of our website visitors is processed only according to our instructions and in compliance with GDPR.

3. General Information and Mandatory Notices

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 legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Please note that data transmission on the internet (e.g. email communication) may have security gaps. Complete protection against third-party access is not possible.

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you request deletion or withdraw consent, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permitted reasons for storage (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods). In such cases, deletion occurs after these reasons no longer apply.

Legal Bases for Processing

If you have given consent, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. If data is transferred to third countries based on explicit consent, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

If cookies or device access were used (which this site does not do), processing would additionally be based on §25 TTDSG.

Processing may also be based on:

• Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR — contract performance
• Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR — legal obligation
• Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest

Relevant legal bases are specified in this policy where applicable.

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw any consent at any time. The legality of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you may object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds or processing is required for legal claims.

If your data is processed for direct marketing, you may object at any time. After objection, your data will no longer be used for marketing purposes.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state of your residence, workplace, or place of the alleged infringement.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data processed automatically based on consent or contract in a machine-readable format or request transfer to another controller where technically feasible.

Access, Correction, Deletion

Within applicable law, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data and the right to correction or deletion.

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data under certain conditions, including:

• if you contest accuracy of your data
• if processing is unlawful but you oppose deletion
