      • Consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

        Consent is a declaration of intent. This can be given in writing in the form of a statement, or also by way of any other clearly affirmative action.

      • Processing in order to preserve legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR

        This means: The processing of the data is necessary in order to, on the one hand, preserve legitimate interests on our part or on the part of a third party, as long as your interests or basic rights and basic freedoms, which make the protection of personal data necessary, do not outweigh the latter.

    4. Deletion of data and duration of storage

    The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked once the purpose of the storage lapses. It may, moreover, be stored beyond that time if this has been stipulated by the European or national legislative authority

    in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the Controller is subject. The data may also be blocked or deleted if a storage period stipulated by said standards expires, unless the necessity for further storage of the data for concluding an agreement or fulfilling an agreement exists.

We have activated so-called IP anonymization on our website, i.e. the IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transferred to the USA.


      Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google itself describes its data processing activities here https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
