Hosting and server log files
This website consists of static pages and is hosted by an external service provider. When a page is requested, the provider's server automatically records technical access data in log files: the page requested, date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred, browser type and version, operating system, the referring page (referrer URL) and the IP address of the requesting device.
The pages are delivered through a content delivery network that caches them to speed up delivery and to protect the site against attacks; it processes the same technical access data for a short time.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, the legitimate interest in a stable, secure and fast website. It is not merged with other data sources.
No cookies, no tracking
The website sets no cookies, stores nothing in the browser and uses no analytics, tracking or advertising services. Fonts, images and scripts are served from the site's own server. The search runs entirely in the browser against an index file from the same server; search terms are not transmitted or stored.
Contact by email or phone
Anyone who gets in touch by email or phone transmits personal data (name, contact details, content of the message). This data is used only to handle the request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where the request relates to a contract, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and is deleted once the request has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
Links to other websites
Pages on this site link to other websites. Once a visitor follows such a link, the privacy policy of the respective provider applies.
Your rights
Every data subject has the right of access to the personal data stored (Art. 15 GDPR), to rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR), to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
Right to object
Every data subject has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to processing of their personal data carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. After an objection the data concerned is no longer processed, unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject. Objections can be sent to [email protected].
