Privacy Policy
Introduction
We have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain to you, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, what information we collect, how we use that data, and what choices you have as a visitor to this website.
Unfortunately, it’s only natural that these explanations sound very technical. However, we’ve made an effort to describe the most important points as simply and clearly as possible.
Automatic Data Storage
When you visit websites these days, certain information is automatically generated and stored—and this website is no exception. When you visit our website, our web server automatically stores data such as:
- the address (URL) of the webpage that was accessed
- Browser and browser version
- the operating system used
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
- the hostname and IP address of the device used to access the site
- Date and Time
in files (web server log files).
Web server log files are generally stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not share this data with third parties; however, we cannot rule out the possibility that this data may be accessed in the event of unlawful conduct.
The legal basis, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (Lawfulness of Processing), is that there is a legitimate interest in ensuring the error-free operation of this website by collecting web server log files.
Rights Under the General Data Protection Regulation
Under the provisions of the GDPR, you generally have the following rights:
- Right to Rectification (Article 16 of the GDPR)
- Right to Erasure (“Right to Be Forgotten”) (Article 17 of the GDPR)
- Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18 of the GDPR)
- Right to Be Notified – Obligation to Notify in Connection with the Rectification or Erasure of Personal Data or the Restriction of Processing (Article 19 of the GDPR)
- Right to Data Portability (Article 20 of the GDPR)

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you may contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).
