g) Data Security

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator.

2. Data Collection on Our Website

a) Server Log Files

When you access our website, the browser used on your terminal device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• browser type and browser version
• operating system used
• referrer URL
• host name of the accessing computer
• date and time of the server request
• IP address

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) b of the DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. This data is not merged with other data sources.

b) Cookies

The Internet pages also use cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the use of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or for all cases, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when your browser is closed. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communications process or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f of the DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. The storage of other types of cookies (e.g. to analyze your surfing behavior) will be treated separately in this data privacy policy.

c) Web Analysis with Matomo

We use web analytics to evaluate the flow of visitor traffic to our online site which may include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of web analytics, we are able to identify, for example, when our online presentation, functions and content are most frequently used and invite re-use. We can also identify which areas need to be optimized.

Additional Information

We may, in addition to web analysis, use test procedures, which allow us to test and optimize different versions of our online presentation or its components.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles can be created and stored in a file (so-called "cookie") or similar procedures with the same purpose may be used. This information may include viewed content, visited web pages and elements used there and technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used and data on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider.

The IP addresses of users are also stored. However, to protect our users we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address). Generally, in the context of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear user data (such as e-mail addresses or names) are stored, only pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the software used, do not know the actual identity of the users, only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedure.

Legal basis: If we ask users for their consent to use third-party providers, this consent serves as the legal basis for processing data. Otherwise, user data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, please see the information on the use of cookies in this Data Privacy Policy.

• Types of data processed: Usage data (websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (device information, IP addresses).
• Data subjects: Users (website visitors, users of online services).
• Processing purposes: web analysis (access statistics, recognition of returning visitors), tracking (interest/behavior-based profiling, use of cookies), visit action evaluation, profiling (creation of user profiles).
• Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of IP address).
• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 (1) 1 a of the DSGVO, Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) 1 f. of the DSGVO).

Use of Matomo

We use Matomo as a web analysis tool. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is only stored on our server and is not shared with third parties. The web analysis is self-hosted.

Deleting Data: Cookies have a maximum storage period of 13 months.

Opting Out: Users can object to the processing of their data by Matomo at any time with effect for the future by deselecting "statistics" in the cookie settings, if these are activated. In this case, the opt-in cookie for web analytics is deleted in their browser, with the result that Matomo no longer collects any session data.

d) Registration forms

If you use our registration form to send us an inquiry, the information you provide in the inquiry, including your contact data, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and if necessary for follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of data entered into the form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a of the DSGVO). You can rescind this consent at any time. For this purpose, it suffices to send us an informal communication by e-mail. The legality of the data processing operations carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you entered into the form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, you rescind your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. your request was successfully processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

e) Donation form

Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of data entered into the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a of the DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and using them to send the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide in order to receive the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you are removed from the newsletter subscriber list. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for membership area) remain unaffected by this.

You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics by using the deactivation tools that Google offers for some Internet browsers. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics 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 plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
