Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is of particular importance to us. We therefore process your data exclusively in accordance with legal requirements (GDPR). In this privacy policy, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing in connection with our website.

Contacting Us

If you contact us via a form on the website or by email, the data you provide will be stored by us for six months for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

Web Analytics with Google Analytics

If you have given your consent, our website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This involves the use of cookies that enable an analysis of how users interact with the website. The information generated in this way is transmitted to the provider’s server and stored there. You can prevent this by adjusting your cookie consent settings accordingly.

We have entered into a corresponding contract with the provider for commissioned data processing. Because the privacy of our users is important to us, user data is pseudonymized (e.g., by deleting the last 8 bits). As a result, only a rough geolocation is possible. The relationship with the web analytics provider is based on commissioned data processing. The data is deleted regularly (currently every 26 months).

Data processing is carried out in accordance with the legal provisions of Section 96(3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG) as well as Article 6(1)(a) (consent) and/or (f) (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest under the GDPR is to improve our services and our website.

Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps web mapping service to display our location interactively. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To display our location correctly and allow you to generate directions, Google stores a cookie on your device via your browser. If you are signed in to Google, your data may be associated with your Google account. If you do not wish this to happen, you must log out beforehand. Data processing is carried out directly by Google; as the website operator, we have no influence over this. The legal basis is Section 96(3) of the German Telecommunications Act (TKG) and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to optimize the discoverability of our location.

Google reCaptcha

Our website uses the reCaptcha service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to protect against spam and abusive email interactions. When you use our contact form, reCaptcha is automatically activated. Google collects user data such as your IP address, browser information, operating system, and possibly other data to distinguish real users from bots. If you do not wish this to occur, please use your own email program to send us a message. The legal basis for this is Section 96(3) of the German Telecommunications Act (TKG) and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the security of our users and the prevention of unsolicited emails.
