We delete the data accruing in this context after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are legal retention obligations.

(3) Of course, you can at any time revoke your consent to have your data processed according to Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a or Art. 9, Par. 2 lit. a GDPR without providing reasons. This does not affect the legality of processing done up to that point.

3. Collection of personal data when visiting our website

(1) In the case of mere informational use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security:

• name of the retrieved website
• file
• date and time of the retrieval
• amount of data transferred
• message about successful retrieval
• browser type and version
• the operating system of the user
• the previously visited website (referrer URL)
• IP address

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to clarify acts of abuse or fraud) for a maximum of seven days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

(2) In addition to the previously mentioned data, necessary cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website, further cookies will only be stored upon your approval. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive assigned to the browser you are using and through which the body that sets the cookie (in this case by us) receives certain information. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They serve to make the website as a whole more user-friendly and effective.

(3) Use of cookies:

This website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which we explain below:

Necessary

These cookies are absolutely necessary for the functions of the website and cannot be disabled.

Functional

Functional cookies allow a website to remember information that affects the way a website behaves or looks, such as your preferred language or the region you are in.

We do not use statistical or marketing cookies.

Here you can configure your cookie settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to receive functional cookies. Just remember that we will then not be able to play the videos hosted on Vimeo for you.

4. Objection or withdrawal against the processing of your data.

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you may revoke this consent at any time. Such revocation affects the permissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have expressed it to us.

(2) Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on our legitimate interests, you may object to the processing. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

5. Vimeo videos

(1) We embed videos on this website that are stored on the platform of the provider Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA, and can be perceived directly on our website.

(2) With your consent regarding the receipt of a functional Vimeo cookie, your browser establishes a connection with the servers of Vimeo for this purpose and transmits your IP address, among other things. This is technically necessary so that Vimeo knows to whom it should play out its content. If you are logged in to Vimeo, this information can also be assigned to your user account. You can prevent this by logging out of Vimeo before viewing the video.

We have integrated all videos on Vimeo in a privacy-preserving manner, so that Vimeo only sets one functional cookie. If you accept the functional cookie from Vimeo, you consent to a data transfer to the USA and thus to an "unsafe third country", with regard to which there is currently no adequacy decision or other guarantees, which is associated with corresponding risks, in particular in the form of access to data by US authorities). If you do not wish to accept the functional cookie, you will unfortunately not be able to view the videos located on Vimeo.

For the use of your personal data by Vimeo in connection with the embedding, we refer to the privacy policy of Vimeo, available at https://vimeo.com/privacy.

(3) The legal basis is your consent, § 25 para. 1, first sentence TTDSG.

6. Social media profiles

(1) We operate profiles within social networks and platforms in order to be able to contact the users active there. If you visit these profiles, your data will be processed outside the European Union, which may result in risks for the integrity of your data (e.g., more difficult enforcement of own claims). With regard to providers from the USA, it should be added that there is currently neither an adequacy decision by the EU Commission nor other guarantees, so that a comparable level of data protection cannot be guaranteed.

(2) Social media networks regularly use your usage data for market research and advertising purposes. For example, the content you access is stored in a profile in order to derive your interests and to provide you with advertising on this basis on the networks, but also on third-party sites. This is done with the help of cookies that the network stores on your computer. If you yourself have a profile in the network, your interests can also be assigned directly to your personal profile.

(3) The legal basis is initially Art. 6 para. 1 lit f. GDPR. Our legitimate interest is effective communication with users who are interested in our work. If you have given consent to the respective network, e.g. in the context of registration, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and your opt-out options, please refer to the information pages of the networks linked below. In the case of information requests and the assertion of your rights, it makes the most sense to contact the networks themselves directly, as only they have access to your data:
