3. General Information and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Information about the Responsible Party

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke 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, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via contact form, your details from the inquiry form including the contact data you provided there will be stored with us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested.

Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. Without this information, we cannot process your inquiry.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g. after completion of processing your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Your Rights

Information, Deletion and Correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions about personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to Data Portability

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

6. Maps and External Services

OpenStreetMap Maps and Leaflet

On this website, we use OpenStreetMap maps to display location information. For map rendering, we use the Leaflet JavaScript library. OpenStreetMap is a free world map project created and maintained by volunteers.

What data is processed? When using OpenStreetMap maps, technical data is automatically transmitted to the OpenStreetMap servers. This includes:

• IP address (anonymized)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Time of access
• Requested map tiles

Legal basis for processing The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing geographic information to improve the user experience.

Data transfer to third parties OpenStreetMap is an external service. The data collected when using the maps is transmitted to the OpenStreetMap servers and processed there. OpenStreetMap is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation.

Storage duration The data is stored as long as it is technically necessary to provide the map service. OpenStreetMap usually stores access data for a limited period for statistical purposes.

Your rights You have the right to object to the processing of your data by OpenStreetMap. This can be achieved by disabling JavaScript in your browser or by using privacy add-ons. However, please note that in this case the map functionality will no longer be available.
