Processing of personal data when using our website

When you access our website, we collect only those personal data that your web browser transmits to our server. When you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which are technically necessary for us in order to enable our website display and to ensure stability and security:

• IP address
• date and time of request
• time zone difference to GMT
• content of website

The above data are also stored in so-called logfiles on our servers. No storage of these data with other personal data of yours takes place. Ascertainment and temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable the display of our website on your end device. For this purpose, your IP address needs to be stored for the duration of your visit to our website. Storage in logfiles serves to ensure the functionality and optimisation of our website as well as to ensure the security of our information technology systems. No analysis of these data for marketing purposes takes place.

The legal basis for the data processing described above is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) DS-GVO, provided that the logfiles represent processing of personal data. Our interest derives from the illustrated purposes of data collection.

The above data for the making available of our website are deleted when the respective session finishes. Collection of the above data for making our website available and their storage in logfiles is essential for the operation of our website. No objection is possible.

Most of the cookies used by our website are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies such as that of the language of your browser remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies help my website to recognise your device upon your next visit, which makes using my website easier.

The common browsers can be set so that you are informed of the setting of a cookie. You can then decide whether to allow or decline this. You can further set whether the cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. If the setting of a cookie by the browser is prevented by the user, this may limit the functionality of this website.

The data are deleted as soon as we have finished processing your queries.

To whom do we make the data available?

Insofar as personal data are processed during use of our website, they are only passed on to third parties if

• you have given explicit consent to this pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1(a) DS-GVO or
• disclosure is legal and necessary pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1(b) DS-GVO for the processing of an existing contractual relationship with you and/or

• disclosure is required pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1(f) DS-GVO for the assertion, exercise or defence of claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.

What rights do you have as affected person?

Insofar as personal data are processed during use of our website, you have the right:

• to revoke your once-given consent to us at any time pursuant to Art. 7 (3) DS-GVO. This means that we may in future no longer continue the processing of your personal data that was based on this consent;
• pursuant to Art. 15 DS-GVO to demand information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you may demand information about the purposes of processing, the category of the personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data were or are disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right of correction, deletion, limiting the processing or objection, the existence of a right of appeal, the source of your data, insofar as these were not collected by us, as well as of the existence of automated decision making including profiling and if necessary meaningful information as to their details;
• pursuant to Art. 16 DS-GVO to demand immediate correction of incorrect data or completion of your personal data stored with us;
• pursuant to Art. 17 DS-GVO to demand the deletion of your personal data stored with us insofar as the processing is necessary to exercise the right of free expression and information, to meet a statutory obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims;
• pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO to demand the limiting of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the correctness of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you reject their deletion and we no longer require the data, you however require them for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or have appealed against the processing pursuant to Art. 21 DS-GVO;
• pursuant to Art. 20 DS-GVO to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, established and machine-readable format or to demand transmission to another responsible party and
• pursuant to Art. 22 DS-GVO not to be subject exclusively to a decision based on automated processing – including profiling – which has legal effect on you or compromises you in similar fashion. As a matter of principle, we do not use any fully-automated decision making and in particular any profiling for the establishment or implementation of contractual relationships.
• Pursuant to Art. 77 DS-GVO to complain to a supervisory authority. Generally, you can apply for this purpose to the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or of our place of business. The competent data protection supervisory authority for us is:

The Thuringian state representative for data protection and freedom of information

Tel.: +49(0361) 57 311 2900

You ultimately have the right, for reasons that derive from your particular situation, to enter an objection to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time pursuant to Art. 21 DS-GVO, insofar as there are reasons that actually derive from your particular situation. If you enter an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling and justified reasons for the processing which outweigh your interest, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or redress of legal claims.
