For further details on the technical and legal background, we have prepared the following text for you. If you have any further questions about data protection or other topics relating to this website, please do not hesitate to contact us.

1. Secure data transmission

The connection from your computer or smartphone to our web server is always encrypted. You can recognise this by the green lock symbol in the address bar of your browser. We recommend that you keep your internet browser up to date to ensure that your data is transmitted securely during transport.

2. Optimisation of content

Every time you visit our website, data is automatically exchanged between your internet browser and our web server. This data includes general information about your device, such as which browser you are using or whether you are accessing our website from a computer or smartphone. The software with which our website is operated uses this information to optimise content for your device. This means, for example, that you see images that are specially optimised for your display size and receive smaller images on the move in the mobile data network to save your data volume. In this context, no data is collected that can be assigned to a specific person or geographical location.

3. Statistics and log files

To ensure the smooth operation of our website, we use so-called log files. These log files record which pages of our website have been accessed and whether the access was successful or caused an error. They also contain information about your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the internet connection from which our website was accessed.

The data collected in this way is stored temporarily. The storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

4. Analytics and tracking

We deliberately refrain from using software that would make it possible to create user profiles or track our visitors across pages. Accordingly, no such data is passed on to third-party providers.

5. JavaScript

JavaScript is used to provide some of the functions on this website. If you have deactivated JavaScript in your Internet browser, these functions will not be available to you or only to a limited extent; however, you can still use our website.

6. Cookies

The use of this website is generally possible without cookies. For additional services that we provide to our customers in a specially protected area of the website, it may be technically necessary to use cookies. If this is the case, you will be explicitly asked for permission before a cookie is set. These cookies expire as soon as you log out of the customer area using the "Log out" function.

7. Your rights as a user of our website

You have the right to object to the use of your data. You are also entitled to request information about the data we have stored about you and, if the data is incorrect, to request that it be corrected or, in the case of unauthorised data storage, that it be deleted. Excluded from this are data that conflict with legal, statutory or contractual retention periods and data that is required or must be stored for the fulfilment of the contractual relationship and its billing.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. The state data protection officer responsible for us is:

Der Hamburgische Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Ludwig-Erhard-Str 22, 7. OG 20459 Hamburg

Tel.: +49 40 428 54 4040 Fax: +49 40 428 54 4000 E-Mail: mailbox@datenschutz.hamburg.de

Should the data protection regulations change due to current circumstances, we will adapt or update this privacy policy.
