Processing and using your personal data
The term personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you, such as your name or your email address. We apply the principle of data reduction and data minimisation. Personal data is only used to the extent required and for legally authorised purposes.
We process your personal data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
For communication purposes we exclusively use personal data used by you in the context of general communication.
Apart from that, we process your personal data only with your previous consent and/or in the case of a prevailing legitimate interest.
External service providers we partner with on our website, if any, are selected with the greatest possible care. They are bound in regards to nature and extent of data processing tasks and to comply with our data protection standards.
Automatically generated data
Log file information (web server logs) is automatically collected when you visit our website. This includes browser type and version, the operating system used, the referrer URL (i.e. the previously visited website if you have accessed our website via a hyperlink), and the date and time of retrieval of the webpage. We are unable to allocate this data to certain persons. We do not link it with other data sources either. IP addresses are anonymized before storage by replacing parts of the IP address with random values. Thus, it is no longer possible to establish a link to a certain person.
The data collected is exclusively used for anonymous analysis of user behaviour with the aim of improving our website. User behaviour will not be analysed individually.
Secure transmission of data
Technical and organisational measures protect our website against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons.
Our website exclusively transmits data by means of encrypted connections. Transmission is effected via HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) which safeguards confidentiality and integrity in the communication between web server and web browser.
