Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

Nature and Purpose of Processing

When you access our website—i.e., when you do not register or otherwise transmit information—general information is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address, and similar data.

This information is processed in particular for the following purposes:

In such cases, server log files are stored until the incident has been resolved and fully investigated.

Provision Required or Necessary

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. Individual services may also be unavailable or limited.

Use of the Tracking Tool Google Analytics

Nature and Purpose of Processing

If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland).

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information collected is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

Google Analytics uses automatic IP anonymization by default. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address is shortened by Google within EU or EEA member states. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

During your visit to our website, your user behavior is recorded in the form of so‑called events, such as:

• Page views
• Session starts
• Session duration
• User engagement
• First visit to the website
• Scrolls (e.g., when a visitor scrolls 90% of the page)
• Clicks on external links
• Viewed or clicked advertisements
• Internal searches
• Interaction with video content
• Downloads
• Language settings

In addition, the following information is collected:

• Your approximate location (region)
• Your IP address (in shortened form)
• Technical information such as browser, internet provider, device type, and screen resolution
• The source (referrer URL) of your visit (i.e., which website or advertisement led you to us)

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://policies.google.com/?hl=de

Google processes this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.

Legal Basis

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Recipients

We use technical service providers as processors for the operation and maintenance of our website and for evaluating cookies.

Additional recipients of the data are Google Ireland Limited (Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland). Google Ireland Limited uses Google LLC in the USA (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) as a service provider.

Storage Period

The data we send and that is linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 12 months.

The maximum lifetime of Google Analytics cookies is two years. Data whose retention period has expired is automatically deleted once per month.

Transfer to Third Countries

Because Google is headquartered in the United States, it cannot be ruled out that data will be processed on Google servers in the USA. This may involve the risk that your data could be accessed by U.S. authorities for monitoring purposes without effective legal remedies available to you.

To ensure an adequate level of data protection, we have concluded EU Standard Contractual Clauses with Google, which can be viewed here: https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/sccs/eu-c2c/

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings.

You can also prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our website by clicking the opt‑out link provided. This will install an opt‑out cookie on your device, preventing future data collection by Google Analytics for this website and browser as long as the cookie remains installed.

You may also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add‑on available at the following link: Browser Add‑On to deactivate Google Analytics.

Information About Your Right to Object Under Art. 21 GDPR

Right to Object on a Case‑by‑Case Basis

You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing based on a balancing of interests), including profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Art. 4(4) GDPR.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
