Data protection

The protection and security of your personal data is our top priority. Your personal data will always be treated confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations. In the following, we inform you about what kind of data is collected during your visit, for what purpose it is collected and how long it is stored.

If you have any questions regarding data protection, please contact the Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection (BayLfD).

Rights regarding personal data

In principle, it is possible to use our website without disclosing your personal information.

Upon request, you will receive from us at any time and free of charge information about the data stored about you and can have incorrect data corrected (Art. 15 and Art. 16 DSGVO). If the legal requirements are met, you can also request blocking or deletion of the stored data (Art. 17 and Art. 18 DSGVO).

In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal data in the context of the performance of public tasks at any time in accordance with Art 21 DSGVO in order to stop the processing of your personal data. Processing will be stopped pursuant to Art 21 GDPR unless compelling legitimate grounds are demonstrated by the processing entity that make processing necessary.



Consent (Consent) to the collection, use and processing of personal data.

Outside of legal obligations, personal data may only be collected, used or processed with (and within the scope of) your consent. To ensure this, you may be asked at various points during the use of our website to agree to our data protection provisions or to the processing of your data for a specific purpose (e.g. contacting us using the contact form). From the non-consent or a revocation

must not result in any disadvantage for you. A revocation can only be declared with effect for the future.



Consent by minors

Persons under the age of 18 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their legal guardians. According to Art. 8 DSGVO, children up to 16 years of age may only declare such consents with the consent of their legal guardians. Personal data of minors are not deliberately collected and processed.



Data security

We use technical and organizational measures to protect your data from access by unauthorized persons and from manipulation, transmission, loss or destruction. We regularly review our security procedures and adapt them to technological progress. All data transmitted to and from us is protected by appropriate encryption procedures, during and after its transport.



Disclosure and transfer of personal data

All personal data will only be disclosed with your explicit consent, or due to legal obligation, and will not be used for any other purposes than those stated in our Privacy Policy.



Data collection, use and processing

Electronic data collection within the web offer

If you are requested to enter data about yourself within our website, this data is transported via the Internet using SSL encryption in order to protect your data from being read by unauthorized persons.



Electronic mail (e-mail)

If you send us e-mails, your e-mail address will only be used for correspondence with you. Information that you send to us unencrypted by e-mail can possibly be read by third parties on the transmission path. As a rule, we are also unable to verify your identity and do not know who is hiding behind an e-mail address, so that legally secure communication by simple e-mail is therefore not guaranteed. We also use so-called SPAM filters against unsolicited advertising, which in rare cases may automatically classify even normal e-mails as unsolicited advertising by mistake and delete them. E-mails containing harmful programs (viruses) are automatically deleted by us in any case.



Contact forms

When you use our contact form, your data is encrypted using an SSL connection (https://) and protected in accordance with § 13 para. 7 TMG.



In addition, you will be asked to confirm your consent to our privacy policy by clicking on the checkbox contained in the form. Only after you have given your consent in this way will your request be sent to us. The information you send us will be stored exclusively for the purpose of processing your request, used only for processing your request and deleted after it has been completed, provided that no legal storage/documentation obligations prevent deletion.



Information on automated data collection and storage

Logging

The following data is logged during an ongoing connection:



Date and time of the request
Name of the requested file
Page from which the file was requested
Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
Web browser and operating system used
Amount of data transferred



The transmitted IP address is logged, as an anonymous call for statistical purposes, in a form shortened to domain level, which does not contain any personal information, so that it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about you.



After the end of the connection, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to individual users.

Integration of an external service provider in the realization/operation of a website

The IP address of the computer from which the request was sent is not stored. The service provider only gives us aggregated information about the number of visitors related to the domain name.



Disclaimer of external links

By this call and linking method we avoid an automatic short-time intermediate storage of these "foreign information", so that we do not carry any responsibility for the data protection for these foreign contents. Through external links, we only provide access to the use of this content (§ 8 TMG): We are not responsible for this content, as we have neither initiated the transmission of the information, selected the addressee of the transmitted information and the transmitted information itself, nor changed it.



Social media plugins

Due to the currently still uncertain legal situation, we have decided to refrain from using social media plugins (such as those from Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter, Xing, etc.) for the time being.
