This privacy policy provides you with information about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of your personal data by us. Furthermore, you will receive information about the rights to which you are entitled.

Technical and organizational measures have been taken to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed both by us and by our service providers.

2. What is personal data?

Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name and contact details.

3. What data do we collect in so-called log files?

With each access to this offer, information is automatically collected by us. This information, also referred to as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

Among other things, the following information is collected for each access:

  • IP address of the calling computer
  • So-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our website)
  • Date and time of access
  • Information about the browser and operating system

Each time you access our website, this data is therefore automatically stored in log files

The processing of these personal data is justified according to Art. 6 § 1 clause 1 letter f) DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in processing data for the purpose of,

  • to establish the connection to our website quickly
  • to enable a user-friendly application of the website
  • to recognize and ensure the security and stability of the systems
  • to facilitate and improve the administration of the website

The processing is expressly not carried out for the purpose of gaining knowledge about the visitor to the website.

4. We want to know who disturbs or attacks our offer.

To protect against attacks and to ensure proper operation, we store the complete IP address temporarily and access-protected on a security system (firewall) and automatically analyse for possible risks. The data is stored for a maximum of seven days. Excluded from this is data that we will need to further pursuit possible attacks and malfunctions.

We will only try to find out which person is behind an IP address in the case of illegal attacks on our systems. Otherwise, this information remains hidden from us and we do not attempt to obtain the data of the owner of an IP address.

5. Use of cookies We use cookies on our websites.

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and can be read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. Cookies can contain data that make it possible to recognize the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information about certain settings that cannot be related to a specific person.

On your first visit to our site, we will show you a notice that we use cookies. If you click the "Understood" button in the notice, a cookie is set that shows us that you have seen the notice. This cookie remains stored for your further visits. If you then visit our website again, you will not be shown the aforementioned notice again. If, on the other hand, you delete the cookies separately in your browser or call up our website via another end device, the notice will be displayed to you again.

Most browsers are set by default to automatically accept cookies. You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This will make the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the appropriate browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our websites may then not be displayed optimally and some functions may no longer be technically available.

Session cookies

While you are on a website, a so-called session cookie is temporarily stored in your computer's memory, in which a session identifier is saved, for example to avoid having to log in every time you change pages. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the session has expired when the browser is closed.

The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 § 1 S.1 lit. f DSGVO and in the interest of optimizing or enabling user guidance and adapting the presentation of our website. 

Load Balancer & CDN

We use a so-called "Content Delivery Network" (CDN) and a load balancer, offered by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Cloudflare is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnZKAA0&status=Active). A CDN is a service with the help of which the contents of our website, in particular large media files such as graphics or scripts, are delivered more quickly with the help of regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet. The processing of user data takes place solely for the aforementioned purposes and to maintain the security and functionality of the CDN. In this context, your browser may transmit personal data to CloudFlare. The use is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in a secure and efficient provision, analysis and optimization of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 § 1 lit. f. DSGVO. Further information can be found in Cloudflare's data protection declaration: https://www.cloudflare.com/security-policy.

Analysis

In order to tailor our information offer to the needs of the users and to be able to optimize the website, we evaluate statistical usage information. The processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 § 1 lit. f DSGVO or § 15 Para. 3 TMG on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimization and marketing purposes. Our software sets cookies on the visitor's computer. When you visit a single page on this website, the following data is saved: 

  • the pseudonymized IP address 
  • Information on the operating system and browser used 
  • Geographic information 
  • the requested URL 
  • the website from which the individual page accessed was reached (referrer site) 
  • the subpages that were accessed from 
  • the accessed website 
  • the length of time spent on the website 
  • entered search terms 
  • the videos that were viewed
  • the frequency with which the website is accessed. 

During this process, the IP address is immediately pseudonymized so that users remain anonymous. The software runs exclusively on our servers. If you do not want us to collect and analyse information about your visit, you can object to this at any time for the future (opt-out). An opt-out cookie is set in your browser for the technical implementation of this objection. This cookie is only used to assign your objection. Please note that for technical reasons an opt-out cookie can only be used for the browser from which it was set. If you delete the cookies or use a different browser or device, you will have to opt-out again. 

You can find the opt-out cookie at: https://kettufy.com/opt-out

6. Newsletter

If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data you have entered exclusively for this purpose or to inform you about the circumstances relevant to this service or registration. A valid email address is required to receive the newsletter. The IP address with which you register for the newsletter and the date on which you subscribed to the newsletter are also stored. This data serves us as evidence in the event of misuse. In order to also ensure that an email address is not misused by third parties in our mailing list, we work in accordance with the law with the so-called “double opt-in” procedure. As part of this process, the order for the newsletter, the dispatch of the confirmation email and the receipt of the registration confirmation are logged. 

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Article 6, Paragraph 1, Sentence 1, Letter a of the DSGVO.

You have the option at any time to revoke your consent to the storage of the data, your e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter with effect for the future. We provide you with a link in every newsletter and on the website to withdraw your consent. You also have the option of notifying us of your wish to cancel using the contact options mentioned in this declaration.

When you open the first automatically generated confirmation email for the subscription to the newsletter and when you open each newsletter email, additional data is collected and transmitted to us to manage the newsletter dispatch. These include, for example:

  • which subscriber has opened the newsletter or clicked on links (including number of clicks)
  • time of registration and, if applicable, whether subscribers have unsubscribed from the newsletter
  • any returns that have occurred (e.g. if the e-mail account is overfilled or does not exist).

We evaluate this data using the analysis software in our newsletter system for purely statistical purposes in order to be able to further optimize our offers. We will only use the personal data collected from you in the context of the newsletter internally to optimize and deliver the newsletter you have expressly requested. Your personal data will not be sold or passed on to third parties for advertising, market or opinion research purposes. Your data will not be used for any other purpose.
