   4. Processing of your data

We process your data exclusively for the provision of the Website or on the basis of your consent. The purpose of the processing is to provide the content of the Website.

In particular, your data may be processed as follows: 

4.1. Purely informational use of our website

If you visit our website for purely informational purposes, it is generally not necessary for you to provide us with any data. In this case, we only collect and use data that your Internet browser automatically transmits to us, such as

  • the date and time you access one of our Web pages,
  • the type and settings of the Internet browser you are using
  • the operating system used
  • the last website you visited
  • your IP address.

We collect and use this data when you visit our website for purely informational purposes, exclusively in non-personalized form, to enable you to use the web pages you have accessed, to improve our website and for statistical purposes. We only store the IP address for the duration of your visit. A personal evaluation does not take place.

4.2. Registration and login process

When you use our member area on the Website through the login process, we use your username or email address for authentication and authorization. In addition, your first name and last name are stored in the Website’s database in order to associate usernames and email addresses with our members’ contact persons.

5. Duration of processing

In principle, we will only process your data for as long as is necessary to provide the services on the website. For example, if you have deleted your profile, we will regularly delete your data. The only exception to this is if we are required by law to retain your data, in particular for tax and accounting purposes. In this case, we will delete your data when the relevant retention periods expire.

6. Data transfer to third parties, transfer to third countries

Data will only be transferred to third parties if you have given your express consent in advance, or if we are entitled or obliged to do so by contract or law, or if we are required to do so by a court or an authority. It may be necessary to share information when we contract with companies, such as technical service providers, to provide services. In this case, data protection agreements are in place to justify this transfer.

Your data will not be transferred to a third country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area or to an international organization.

7. Cookies

The Site uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent from our web server to the website when you use our website and are stored on your terminal for retrieval.

The purpose of these cookies is to enable you to use the website content that you have accessed. For example, we use cookies with a cookie ID to provide a members-only area of the Site that is protected by usernames and associated passwords. If a website user does not log in to the member area, only an anonymous cookie without a cookie ID with the same name “wordpress_test_cookie” and content “WP+Cookie+check” is stored to test whether the storage of cookies is permitted.

We do not collect or store your information in cookies. We also do not use technologies that link information generated by cookies to user data.

The person concerned can prevent the storage of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the storage of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all standard Internet browsers. If the data subject disables the storage of cookies in the Internet browser used, it will not be possible to use the member area of the Website and the message that the Privacy Policy must be accepted will never be hidden.

8. Liability for links

Our website contains links to external websites of third parties over whose content we have no control. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal contents were not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of the law. If we become aware of any legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.

External references [link] are marked with the symbol .

Or in more detail

If our website contains links to the content of other providers, this is indicated by an appropriate symbol (box with an arrow pointing outwards) or a textual reference.

9. Data security

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect the data we have under our control against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against attacks by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
