Purpose of Data Processing by the Controller and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for any other purposes. We will only share your personal data with third parties if:

• You have given your explicit consent
• Processing is necessary to perform a contract with you

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as stipulated by the various retention periods prescribed by law. After the respective purpose ceases or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely deleted or blocked in accordance with legal regulations.

Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected using cookies. This information (server log files) includes:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Domain name of your Internet service provider
• IP address
• Time of the request

This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver content requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. It is processed for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection to the website
• Ensuring smooth use of our website
• Evaluating system security and stability
• For other administrative purposes

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the purposes mentioned above. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the controller and, if applicable, data processors.

Anonymous information of this type may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Provision of Paid Services

To provide paid services, we request additional data such as payment details to process your order. This data is stored in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Newsletter

Based on your express consent, we will regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information via email to your provided email address.

Providing your email address is sufficient to receive the newsletter. When registering for our newsletter, the data you provide will only be used for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g., changes to the newsletter offering or technical issues).

To ensure effective registration, we use the "double opt-in" procedure. This means we log the subscription request, the sending of a confirmation email, and the receipt of your reply. No further data is collected. Your data is used exclusively for the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to store your personal data and its use for the newsletter at any time. A corresponding link can be found in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe directly via this website or notify us via the contact details at the end of this policy.

Use of ActiveCampaign for Newsletter Delivery

This website uses ActiveCampaign services for newsletter distribution. The provider is ActiveCampaign, LLC, 150 N. Michigan Ave Suite 1230, Chicago, IL, USA.

ActiveCampaign helps manage and analyze newsletter campaigns. Data you provide for newsletter subscription (e.g., your email address) is stored on ActiveCampaign’s servers in the USA.

ActiveCampaign is certified under the “EU-US Privacy Shield” framework, ensuring compliance with EU data protection standards.

When you open an email sent via ActiveCampaign, a web beacon connects to ActiveCampaign’s servers, tracking actions like email opens and link clicks. Technical data (e.g., IP address, browser type) may also be collected. This data cannot be personally identified and is used solely for statistical evaluation.

If you do not wish to be analyzed by ActiveCampaign, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link in every email or directly on our website.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. The legality of data processing already carried out remains unaffected.

Newsletter subscription data will be stored until you unsubscribe, after which it will be deleted from both our and ActiveCampaign’s servers. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses "cookies" to analyze your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA.

Thanks to IP anonymization, your IP address is truncated within the EU or EEA before being sent. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a US server and shortened there.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookie storage by adjusting your browser settings. You can also prevent data collection via cookies and related data processing by Google by downloading and installing this browser plugin: Google Analytics Opt-Out

As an alternative, you can click this link to opt out of Google Analytics tracking on this website. An opt-out cookie will be placed in your browser, preventing future tracking as long as it remains active.

Embedded YouTube Videos

Some of our pages feature embedded YouTube videos. The operator is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit a page with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established, and YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, your browsing behavior may be linked to your profile. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.

When a video is played, cookies may be used to collect usage information. You can block this by disabling cookies in your browser settings.
