Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy

1. An overview of data pro­tec­tion

Gen­er­al infor­ma­tion

The fol­low­ing infor­ma­tion will pro­vide you with an easy to nav­i­gate overview of what will hap­pen with your per­son­al data when you vis­it this web­site. The term “per­son­al data” com­pris­es all data that can be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. For detailed infor­ma­tion about the sub­ject mat­ter of data pro­tec­tion, please con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion, which we have includ­ed beneath this copy.

Data record­ing on this web­site

Who is the respon­si­ble par­ty for the record­ing of data on this web­site (i.e., the “con­troller”)?

The data on this web­site is processed by the oper­a­tor of the web­site, whose con­tact infor­ma­tion is avail­able under sec­tion “Infor­ma­tion about the respon­si­ble par­ty (referred to as the “con­troller” in the GDPR)” in this Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy.

How do we record your data?

We col­lect your data as a result of your shar­ing of your data with us. This may, for instance be infor­ma­tion you enter into our con­tact form.

Oth­er data shall be record­ed by our IT sys­tems auto­mat­i­cal­ly or after you con­sent to its record­ing dur­ing your web­site vis­it. This data com­pris­es pri­mar­i­ly tech­ni­cal infor­ma­tion (e.g., web brows­er, oper­at­ing sys­tem, or time the site was accessed). This infor­ma­tion is record­ed auto­mat­i­cal­ly when you access this web­site.

What are the pur­pos­es we use your data for?

A por­tion of the infor­ma­tion is gen­er­at­ed to guar­an­tee the error free pro­vi­sion of the web­site. Oth­er data may be used to ana­lyze your user pat­terns. If con­tracts can be con­clud­ed or ini­ti­at­ed via the web­site, the trans­mit­ted data will also be processed for con­tract offers, orders or oth­er order enquiries.

What rights do you have as far as your infor­ma­tion is con­cerned?

You have the right to receive infor­ma­tion about the source, recip­i­ents, and pur­pos­es of your archived per­son­al data at any time with­out hav­ing to pay a fee for such dis­clo­sures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, you have the option to revoke this con­sent at any time, which shall affect all future data pro­cess­ing. More­over, you have the right to demand that the pro­cess­ing of your data be restrict­ed under cer­tain cir­cum­stances. Fur­ther­more, you have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vis­ing agency.

Please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time if you have ques­tions about this or any oth­er data pro­tec­tion relat­ed issues.

Analy­sis tools and tools pro­vid­ed by third par­ties

There is a pos­si­bil­i­ty that your brows­ing pat­terns will be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly ana­lyzed when your vis­it this web­site. Such analy­ses are per­formed pri­mar­i­ly with what we refer to as analy­sis pro­grams.

For detailed infor­ma­tion about these analy­sis pro­grams please con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion below.

2. Host­ing

We are host­ing the con­tent of our web­site at the fol­low­ing provider:

IONOS

The provider is the IONOS SE, Elgen­dor­fer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Ger­many (here­inafter referred to as: IONOS). When­ev­er you vis­it our web­site, IONOS records var­i­ous log­files along with your IP address­es. For details, please con­sult the data pri­va­cy pol­i­cy of IONOS: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy.

We use IONOS on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Our com­pa­ny has a legit­i­mate inter­est in pre­sent­ing a web­site that is as depend­able as pos­si­ble. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revoked at any time.

Data pro­cess­ing

We have con­clud­ed a data pro­cess­ing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-men­­tioned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­dat­ed by data pri­va­cy laws that guar­an­tees that they process per­son­al data of our web­site vis­i­tors only based on our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

3. Gen­er­al infor­ma­tion and manda­to­ry infor­ma­tion

Data pro­tec­tion

The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­son­al data very seri­ous­ly. Hence, we han­dle your per­son­al data as con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion and in com­pli­ance with the statu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion.

When­ev­er you use this web­site, a vari­ety of per­son­al infor­ma­tion will be col­lect­ed. Per­son­al data com­pris­es data that can be used to per­son­al­ly iden­ti­fy you. This Data Pro­tec­tion Dec­la­ra­tion explains which data we col­lect as well as the pur­pos­es we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which pur­pose the infor­ma­tion is col­lect­ed.

We here­with advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Inter­net (i.e., through e‑mail com­mu­ni­ca­tions) may be prone to secu­ri­ty gaps. It is not pos­si­ble to com­plete­ly pro­tect data against third-par­­ty access.

Infor­ma­tion about the respon­si­ble par­ty (referred to as the “con­troller” in the GDPR)

The data pro­cess­ing con­troller on this web­site is:

Alwin Müller
Mörkeweg 12
26605 Aurich

Phone: +49 4941–97346020
E‑mail: office@amd-germany.com

The con­troller is the nat­ur­al per­son or legal enti­ty that sin­­gle-hand­ed­­ly or joint­ly with oth­ers makes deci­sions as to the pur­pos­es of and resources for the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data (e.g., names, e‑mail address­es, etc.).

Stor­age dura­tion

Unless a more spe­cif­ic stor­age peri­od has been spec­i­fied in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy, your per­son­al data will remain with us until the pur­pose for which it was col­lect­ed no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­tion or revoke your con­sent to data pro­cess­ing, your data will be delet­ed, unless we have oth­er legal­ly per­mis­si­ble rea­sons for stor­ing your per­son­al data (e.g., tax or com­mer­cial law reten­tion peri­ods); in the lat­ter case, the dele­tion will take place after these rea­sons cease to apply.

Gen­er­al infor­ma­tion on the legal basis for the data pro­cess­ing on this web­site

If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, we process your per­son­al data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if spe­cial cat­e­gories of data are processed accord­ing to Art. 9 (1) DSG­VO. In the case of explic­it con­sent to the trans­fer of per­son­al data to third coun­tries, the data pro­cess­ing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have con­sent­ed to the stor­age of cook­ies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your end device (e.g., via device fin­ger­print­ing), the data pro­cess­ing is addi­tion­al­ly based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The con­sent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-con­­trac­­tu­al mea­sures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Fur­ther­more, if your data is required for the ful­fill­ment of a legal oblig­a­tion, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Fur­ther­more, the data pro­cess­ing may be car­ried out on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est accord­ing to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­ma­tion on the rel­e­vant legal basis in each indi­vid­ual case is pro­vid­ed in the fol­low­ing para­graphs of this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy.

Des­ig­na­tion of a data pro­tec­tion offi­cer

We have appoint­ed a data pro­tec­tion offi­cer.

Recip­i­ents of per­son­al data

In the scope of our busi­ness activ­i­ties, we coöper­ate with var­i­ous exter­nal par­ties. In some cas­es, this also requires the trans­fer of per­son­al data to these exter­nal par­ties. We only dis­close per­son­al data to exter­nal par­ties if this is required as part of the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract, if we are legal­ly oblig­at­ed to do so (e.g., dis­clo­sure of data to tax author­i­ties), if we have a legit­i­mate inter­est in the dis­clo­sure pur­suant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if anoth­er legal basis per­mits the dis­clo­sure of this data. When using proces­sors, we only dis­close per­son­al data of our cus­tomers on the basis of a valid con­tract on data pro­cess­ing. In the case of joint pro­cess­ing, a joint pro­cess­ing agree­ment is con­clud­ed.

Revo­ca­tion of your con­sent to the pro­cess­ing of data

A wide range of data pro­cess­ing trans­ac­tions are pos­si­ble only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revoke at any time any con­sent you have already giv­en us. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data col­lec­tion that occurred pri­or to your revo­ca­tion.

Right to object to the col­lec­tion of data in spe­cial cas­es; right to object to direct adver­tis­ing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARIS­ING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SIT­U­A­TION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PRO­FIL­ING BASED ON THESE PRO­VI­SIONS. TO DETER­MINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PRO­CESS­ING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CON­SULT THIS DATA PRO­TEC­TION DEC­LA­RA­TION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJEC­TION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECT­ED PER­SON­AL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSI­TION TO PRESENT COM­PELLING PRO­TEC­TION WOR­THY GROUNDS FOR THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUT­WEIGH YOUR INTER­ESTS, RIGHTS AND FREE­DOMS OR IF THE PUR­POSE OF THE PRO­CESS­ING IS THE CLAIM­ING, EXER­CIS­ING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTI­TLE­MENTS (OBJEC­TION PUR­SUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR AFFECT­ED PER­SON­AL DATA FOR THE PUR­POS­ES OF SUCH ADVER­TIS­ING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PRO­FIL­ING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFIL­I­AT­ED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PER­SON­AL DATA WILL SUB­SE­QUENT­LY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING PUR­POS­ES (OBJEC­TION PUR­SUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry agency

In the event of vio­la­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects are enti­tled to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry agency, in par­tic­u­lar in the mem­ber state where they usu­al­ly main­tain their domi­cile, place of work or at the place where the alleged vio­la­tion occurred. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any oth­er admin­is­tra­tive or court pro­ceed­ings avail­able as legal recours­es.

Right to data porta­bil­i­ty

You have the right to have data that we process auto­mat­i­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract hand­ed over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machine-read­­able for­mat. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to anoth­er con­troller, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble.

Infor­ma­tion about, rec­ti­fi­ca­tion and erad­i­ca­tion of data

With­in the scope of the applic­a­ble statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions, you have the right to demand infor­ma­tion about your archived per­son­al data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the pur­pose of the pro­cess­ing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed. If you have ques­tions about this sub­ject mat­ter or any oth­er ques­tions about per­son­al data, please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact us at any time.

Right to demand pro­cess­ing restric­tions

You have the right to demand the impo­si­tion of restric­tions as far as the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data is con­cerned. To do so, you may con­tact us at any time. The right to demand restric­tion of pro­cess­ing applies in the fol­low­ing cas­es:

• In the event that you should dis­pute the cor­rect­ness of your data archived by us, we will usu­al­ly need some time to ver­i­fy this claim. Dur­ing the time that this inves­ti­ga­tion is ongo­ing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.
• If the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data was/is con­duct­ed in an unlaw­ful man­ner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your data instead of demand­ing the erad­i­ca­tion of this data.
• If we do not need your per­son­al data any longer and you need it to exer­cise, defend or claim legal enti­tle­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data instead of its erad­i­ca­tion.
• If you have raised an objec­tion pur­suant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each oth­er. As long as it has not been deter­mined whose inter­ests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data.

If you have restrict­ed the pro­cess­ing of your per­son­al data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archiv­ing – may be processed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to claim, exer­cise or defend legal enti­tle­ments or to pro­tect the rights of oth­er nat­ur­al per­sons or legal enti­ties or for impor­tant pub­lic inter­est rea­sons cit­ed by the Euro­pean Union or a mem­ber state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryp­tion

For secu­ri­ty rea­sons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fi­den­tial con­tent, such as pur­chase orders or inquiries you sub­mit to us as the web­site oper­a­tor, this web­site uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion pro­gram. You can rec­og­nize an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by check­ing whether the address line of the brows­er switch­es from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appear­ance of the lock icon in the brows­er line.

If the SSL or TLS encryp­tion is acti­vat­ed, data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third par­ties.

Rejec­tion of unso­licit­ed e‑mails

We here­with object to the use of con­tact infor­ma­tion pub­lished in con­junc­tion with the manda­to­ry infor­ma­tion to be pro­vid­ed in our Site Notice to send us pro­mo­tion­al and infor­ma­tion mate­r­i­al that we have not express­ly request­ed. The oper­a­tors of this web­site and its pages reserve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unso­licit­ed send­ing of pro­mo­tion­al infor­ma­tion, for instance via SPAM mes­sages.

4. Record­ing of data on this web­site

Cook­ies

Our web­sites and pages use what the indus­try refers to as “cook­ies.” Cook­ies are small data pack­ages that do not cause any dam­age to your device. They are either stored tem­porar­i­ly for the dura­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion cook­ies) or they are per­ma­nent­ly archived on your device (per­ma­nent cook­ies). Ses­sion cook­ies are auto­mat­i­cal­ly delet­ed once you ter­mi­nate your vis­it. Per­ma­nent cook­ies remain archived on your device until you active­ly delete them, or they are auto­mat­i­cal­ly erad­i­cat­ed by your web brows­er.

Cook­ies can be issued by us (first-par­­ty cook­ies) or by third-par­­ty com­pa­nies (so-called third-par­­ty cook­ies). Third-par­­ty cook­ies enable the inte­gra­tion of cer­tain ser­vices of third-par­­ty com­pa­nies into web­sites (e.g., cook­ies for han­dling pay­ment ser­vices).

Cook­ies have a vari­ety of func­tions. Many cook­ies are tech­ni­cal­ly essen­tial since cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the absence of these cook­ies (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of videos). Oth­er cook­ies may be used to ana­lyze user behav­ior or for pro­mo­tion­al pur­pos­es.

Cook­ies, which are required for the per­for­mance of elec­tron­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion trans­ac­tions, for the pro­vi­sion of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (e.g., for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or those that are nec­es­sary for the opti­miza­tion (required cook­ies) of the web­site (e.g., cook­ies that pro­vide mea­sur­able insights into the web audi­ence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a dif­fer­ent legal basis is cit­ed. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the stor­age of required cook­ies to ensure the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mized pro­vi­sion of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the stor­age of the cook­ies and sim­i­lar recog­ni­tion tech­nolo­gies has been request­ed, the pro­cess­ing occurs exclu­sive­ly on the basis of the con­sent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this con­sent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your brows­er in such a man­ner that you will be noti­fied any time cook­ies are placed and to per­mit the accep­tance of cook­ies only in spe­cif­ic cas­es. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cook­ies in cer­tain cas­es or in gen­er­al or acti­vate the delete-func­­tion for the auto­mat­ic erad­i­ca­tion of cook­ies when the brows­er clos­es. If cook­ies are deac­ti­vat­ed, the func­tions of this web­site may be lim­it­ed.

Which cook­ies and ser­vices are used on this web­site can be found in this pri­va­cy pol­i­cy.

Con­sent with Bor­labs Cook­ie

Our web­site uses the Bor­labs con­sent tech­nol­o­gy to obtain your con­sent to the stor­age of cer­tain cook­ies in your brows­er or for the use of cer­tain tech­nolo­gies and for their data pri­va­cy pro­tec­tion com­pli­ant doc­u­men­ta­tion. The provider of this tech­nol­o­gy is Bor­labs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Ham­burg, Ger­many (here­inafter referred to as Bor­labs).

When­ev­er you vis­it our web­site, a Bor­labs cook­ie will be stored in your brows­er, which archives any dec­la­ra­tions or revo­ca­tions of con­sent you have entered. These data are not shared with the provider of the Bor­labs tech­nol­o­gy.

The record­ed data shall remain archived until you ask us to erad­i­cate them, delete the Bor­labs cook­ie on your own or the pur­pose of stor­ing the data no longer exists. This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any reten­tion oblig­a­tions man­dat­ed by law. To review the details of Bor­labs’ data pro­cess­ing poli­cies, please vis­it https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie/

We use the Bor­labs cook­ie con­sent tech­nol­o­gy to obtain the dec­la­ra­tions of con­sent man­dat­ed by law for the use of cook­ies. The legal basis for the use of such cook­ies is Art. 6(1)© GDPR.

Serv­er log files

The provider of this web­site and its pages auto­mat­i­cal­ly col­lects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called serv­er log files, which your brows­er com­mu­ni­cates to us auto­mat­i­cal­ly. The infor­ma­tion com­pris­es:

• The type and ver­sion of brows­er used
• The used oper­at­ing sys­tem
• Refer­rer URL
• The host­name of the access­ing com­put­er
• The time of the serv­er inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with oth­er data sources.

This data is record­ed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The oper­a­tor of the web­site has a legit­i­mate inter­est in the tech­ni­cal­ly error free depic­tion and the opti­miza­tion of the operator’s web­site. In order to achieve this, serv­er log files must be record­ed.

Con­tact form

If you sub­mit inquiries to us via our con­tact form, the infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed in the con­tact form as well as any con­tact infor­ma­tion pro­vid­ed there­in will be stored by us in order to han­dle your inquiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­tions. We will not share this infor­ma­tion with­out your con­sent.

The pro­cess­ing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is relat­ed to the exe­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is nec­es­sary to car­ry out pre-con­­trac­­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es the pro­cess­ing is based on our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive pro­cess­ing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been request­ed; the con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The infor­ma­tion you have entered into the con­tact form shall remain with us until you ask us to erad­i­cate the data, revoke your con­sent to the archiv­ing of data or if the pur­pose for which the infor­ma­tion is being archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have con­clud­ed our response to your inquiry). This shall be with­out prej­u­dice to any manda­to­ry legal pro­vi­sions, in par­tic­u­lar reten­tion peri­ods.

Request by e‑mail, tele­phone, or fax

If you con­tact us by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax, your request, includ­ing all result­ing per­son­al data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the pur­pose of pro­cess­ing your request. We do not pass these data on with­out your con­sent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is relat­ed to the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or is required for the per­for­mance of pre-con­­trac­­tu­al mea­sures. In all oth­er cas­es, the data are processed on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­est in the effec­tive han­dling of inquiries sub­mit­ted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the con­sent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via con­tact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your con­sent to the stor­age or the pur­pose for the data stor­age laps­es (e.g. after com­ple­tion of your request). Manda­to­ry statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions — in par­tic­u­lar statu­to­ry reten­tion peri­ods — remain unaf­fect­ed.

5. Analy­sis tools and adver­tis­ing

etrack­er

The provider of this web­site uses ser­vices from etrack­er GmbH, Ham­burg, Ger­many (www.etracker.com), to ana­lyze usage data. By default, we do not use cook­ies for web analy­sis. If we use analy­sis and opti­miza­tion cook­ies, we will obtain your explic­it con­sent sep­a­rate­ly in advance. If this is the case and you agree, cook­ies will be used that enable sta­tis­ti­cal reach analy­sis of this web­site, mea­sure­ment of the suc­cess of our online mar­ket­ing mea­sures, and test­ing pro­ce­dures, for exam­ple, to test and opti­mize dif­fer­ent ver­sions of our online offer­ing or its com­po­nents. Cook­ies are small text files that are stored by the inter­net brows­er on the user’s device. etrack­er cook­ies do not con­tain any infor­ma­tion that allows a user to be iden­ti­fied.

The data gen­er­at­ed with etrack­er is processed and stored exclu­sive­ly in Ger­many by etrack­er on behalf of the provider of this web­site and is there­fore sub­ject to strict Ger­man and Euro­pean data pro­tec­tion laws and stan­dards. etrack­er has been inde­pen­dent­ly audit­ed, cer­ti­fied, and award­ed the ePri­va­cy­seal data pro­tec­tion seal of approval.

Data pro­cess­ing is based on the legal pro­vi­sions of Art. 6 (1) (f) (legit­i­mate inter­est) of the Gen­er­al Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tion (GDPR). Our con­cern with­in the mean­ing of the GDPR (legit­i­mate inter­est) is the opti­miza­tion of our online offer­ing and our web­site. Because the pri­va­cy of our vis­i­tors is impor­tant to us, data that may be linked to an indi­vid­ual, such as IP address­es, login, or device iden­ti­fiers, is anonymized or pseu­do­nymized as soon as pos­si­ble. There will be no oth­er use, com­bi­na­tion with oth­er data, or trans­fer to third par­ties.

You can object to the data pro­cess­ing described above at any time by click­ing on the slid­er. This objec­tion has no adverse con­se­quences. If no slid­er is dis­played, data col­lec­tion has already been pre­vent­ed by oth­er block­ing mea­sures.

Open­StreetMap

We are using the map­ping ser­vice pro­vid­ed by Open­StreetMap (OSM).

We embed the map data from Open­StreetMap on the serv­er of the Open­StreetMap Foun­da­tion, St John’s Inno­va­tion Cen­tre, Cow­ley Road, Cam­bridge, CB4 0WS, Unit­ed King­dom. The Unit­ed King­dom is con­sid­ered a secure third coun­try under data pro­tec­tion law. This means that the Unit­ed King­dom has a lev­el of data pro­tec­tion that is equiv­a­lent to the lev­el of data pro­tec­tion in the Euro­pean Union. When using the Open­StreetMap maps, a con­nec­tion is estab­lished to the servers of the Open­StreetMap-Foun­­da­­tion. In the process and among oth­er things, your IP address and oth­er infor­ma­tion about your behav­ior on this web­site may be for­ward­ed to the OSMF. Open­StreetMap may store cook­ies in your brows­er or use sim­i­lar recog­ni­tion tech­nolo­gies for this pur­pose.

We use Open­StreetMap with the objec­tive of ensur­ing the attrac­tive pre­sen­ta­tion of our online offers and to make it easy for vis­i­tors to find the loca­tions we spec­i­fy on our web­site. This estab­lish­es legit­i­mate grounds as defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appro­pri­ate con­sent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is car­ried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the stor­age of cook­ies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) with­in the mean­ing of the TDDDG.
