Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Therefore we process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this data protection information we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing as part of our website.

Contacting us

If you contact us using the form on the website or by e-mail, your data will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request. This data is used exclusively in connection with the request, is saved only for the duration of an active business relationship and is not passed on to third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device using the browser. They do no harm to your device. We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit the website. If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

Server log files

When visitors access the website, log data is recorded by the server. The storage and processing of the data is carried out by the hosting provider, NETCONTACT St. Michael (or partners). This data includes the IP address and the operating system of your device, the data, the access time, the type of browser and the browser request including the origin of the request (referrer). The data is used internally for forensic investigations in the event of hack attacks or for other security-relevant analyzes. In this way we guarantee the security of your data on our systems and ensure that countermeasures to protect your data are quickly taken in the event of suspicion.

The legality of this processing is therefore based on Art. 6 GDPR.

Google-Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. Cookies are used for analysing the user behaviour on the website. The information generated in this way is transferred to the provider's server (Google) and stored there.

You can prevent this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are saved. Data processing takes place on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 (3) TKG and Art 6 (1) a (consent) and / or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website.

Since the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized, i.e. the personal IP addresses are anonymized. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. The data collection and storage can be objected at any time with future effect.

Google Analytics Tracking is loaded after agreeing the cookie notice only.

YouTube

Use of YouTube videos on the website: On our website we use components (videos) from YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a company of Google Inc., Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 , USA. The YouTube videos are integrated into the page via a plug-in. This plugin contains the settings, that no YouTube API is loaded and so-called tracking cookies for user analysis are only transferred to YouTube when a video is actually played.

The "advanced data protection mode" option provided by YouTube is used here. When you visit a page that has an embedded video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. According to YouTube, data in the "extended data protection mode" are only transmitted to the YouTube server when you watch the video. If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, this information will be assigned to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.

Further information on data protection by YouTube is provided by Google under the following link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Google Fonts

Google Fonts are used, but hosted locally on our servers. This means that no connection to the Google servers is established and no personal data or IP addresses are passed on.

Google Maps

On some pages, this site uses the Google Maps map service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA via an API or an IFRAME. To use the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making it easy to find the locations we have indicated on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR.

Wordfence security plugin

This website is secured with the "Wordfence Security" service, which is operated by Defiant Inc., 800 5th Ave., Suite 4100, Seattle, WA 98104, USA. The use is based on the legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR.
The website uses Wordfence Security to protect against viruses and malware and to prevent attacks by criminals. The plugin sets cookies to detect whether the website is actually being visited by a person or by a robot. For the purpose of protection against so-called brute force attacks (numerous automated login attempts from the same identity) or against hacker comment spam, IP addresses are stored on the Wordfence servers. IP addresses classified as harmless are put on a white list. Wordfence Security secures this website and thus also protects the website visitors from viruses and malware. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. The Live Traffic View option of the plug-in is reduced to a security-relevant listing.

You can find more information on the collection and use of data by Wordfence Security in the provider's data protection information: https://www.wordfence.com/privacy-policy/.
