This page explains what data is processed when you visit this website and what rights you have regarding your data.

Data protection

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. 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 over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Hosting

We host this website's content with the following provider:

Hetzner

The provider is Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Deutschland (hereinafter Hetzner).

Details can be found in Hetzner's privacy policy: https://www.hetzner.com/de/legal/privacy-policy/.

The use of Hetzner is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable possible presentation of our website. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag) for the use of the above service. This is a contract required under data protection law, ensuring the provider processes personal data of visitors to this site only on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Legal bases for processing

Where you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR where special categories of data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is additionally based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. Where your data is required for the performance of a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage duration is stated elsewhere in this policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for processing it no longer applies. If you exercise a valid right to erasure or withdraw your consent, your data will be deleted unless we have another legally permitted reason to retain it — for example statutory retention obligations under tax or commercial law — in which case it will be deleted once those reasons no longer apply.

Recipients of personal data

We only pass personal data to third parties where this is necessary to perform a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so, where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits it. Where we use processors — for example our hosting provider — we do so only under a data processing agreement obliging them to process personal data solely on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Server log files

Every time this website is accessed, the hosting provider's server automatically collects and stores information transmitted by your browser in server log files. This includes your browser type and version, operating system, referring page, hostname of the accessing device, time of the request, and IP address. This data is not combined with data from other sources. It is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in the technical operation and security of this website — and is deleted automatically after a short period.

Cookies and local storage

This website stores a small amount of data in your browser's local storage to remember your dark/light theme preference; nothing is sent to the server for this. If you use the language switch, a technically necessary session cookie stores your chosen language for the duration of your visit. Neither is used for tracking or analytics, and both fall under the exception in § 25 (2) TDDDG, so no consent is required.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" prefix in your browser's address bar and the padlock icon. When SSL/TLS encryption is active, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Google Fonts (local hosting)

This site uses Google Fonts for consistent typography. The font files are hosted locally on this site's own server; no connection to Google's servers is made when you visit this site. More information is available in Google's Fonts FAQ and their privacy policy.

Withdrawing your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you've already given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to your withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to restriction of processing

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

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — with the exception of its storage — only be processed with your consent, or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
