If you use a mobile device to visit our Website, information such as the unique device identifier and configuration information such as screen resolution is processed as well.

We process this usage data to be able to display our Website to you, to enable its proper functioning and use and, if necessary, in the event of damage or violations of legal provisions, our terms of use and the rights of third parties, to investigate and enforce the violations and affected rights. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR), which lies in displaying our Website, ensuring its proper functioning and detecting and pursuing violations.

1.3. Cookies and similar technologies

Our Website uses cookies. Cookies are small encrypted text files that are stored in users’ browser directories. Cookies collect information and technical details about users’ navigation (e.g. IP address, pages visited, menu selections).

We use cookies that are technically necessary to offer our Website or certain content. The legal basis for the use of necessary cookies is § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG.

We use Web Analytics, an analysis tool from the German provider IONOS SE. Web Analytics does not use cookies but collects personal data such as the IP address and by this, the location via log files or pixels. The IP address is anonymized by IONOS immediately after collection. In addition, the previously visited website, the requested website or file, the browser type and version, the operating system and device type used, and the time of access are processed. The data will not be transferred to third parties and will be deleted after 8 weeks.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
  • possibly for the conclusion of corporate transactions (e.g. restructuring, asset deals, mergers) or for the protection of our rights or property, enforcement of our terms of use and legal notices as well as the substantiation, exercise and defense of legal claims. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR, i.e., our legitimate interest in the aforementioned operations.

In addition, we may transmit personal data to third parties if this is required by law, if this is necessary for the assertion and defense of legal claims or if third parties provide certain services for us (e.g. lawyers, tax consultants).

3. Retention of personal data

Unless a specific data storage period is specified in this privacy policy, we will only process your personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes or as long as there are statutory retention obligations.
