2) Data collection when visiting our website
When you use our website purely for information purposes – i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information – we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

3) Cookies
In accordance with Section 25 of the TDDDG, the user’s consent is generally required for the storage of information on the user’s device and for access to such information, unless such storage or access is strictly necessary to provide the expressly requested service.
To make your visit to our website more engaging and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called ‘session cookies’), whilst others remain on your device for longer and enable page settings to be saved (so-called ‘persistent cookies’). In the latter case, you can find the storage period in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.
Where personal data is also processed by individual cookies we use, such processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, either for the performance of a contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR where consent has been given, or in accordance with Article 6( 1(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective experience for visitors.
You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them, or you can block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally.
Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
4) Google Tag Manager
This website uses ‘Google Tag Manager’, a service provided by the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: ‘Google’).
Google Tag Manager provides a technical framework for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and for calibrating, controlling and conditioning them via a unified user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on users’ end devices or read such information. Nor does the service carry out any independent data analysis. However, when a page is accessed, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may be stored. Transmission to servers operated by Google LLC in the USA is also possible.
This processing will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the website. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to withdraw consent, please deactivate this service using the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with European data protection standards.
Further legal information on Google Tag Manager can be found at
https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
5) Google Analytics
We use the Google Analytics analysis tool from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. This tool is used to analyse and optimise our website. Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which you can give at any time via our cookie consent tool.
Google Analytics collects data on your use of our website, such as the pages you visit, the time spent on the site, clicks and your origin. Technical data such as the IP address (in anonymised form), browser information and the type of device are also collected. This data is used to compile statistics and analyse user behaviour in order to improve our website and services.
The data collected is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which is designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when data is processed in the USA.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device you are using, takes place only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the website. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

6) Vimeo
We use the service of the following provider on our website: Vimeo.com, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10001, USA (hereinafter “Vimeo”) to present visual content to you on our website.
This integration is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, which you have given via our Cookie Consent Tool. When you visit our website, no personal data is transmitted to Vimeo simply by viewing the page. Only when you click to play the video is the video loaded from Vimeo’s servers and does Vimeo’s data processing commence.
In doing so, data such as your IP address may be transmitted to servers in the USA. To prevent data collection in advance, the videos are not loaded immediately, but only after you have given your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time via our cookie consent tool. Consent is required to view the videos, as cookies are set and personal data is processed when the videos are loaded. Vimeo sets cookies in your browser to store data and enable the video to play.
Vimeo is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This ensures an adequate level of data protection for data processing in accordance with the GDPR. Please note that data processing by Vimeo is carried out in accordance with Vimeo’s privacy policy. Information on the specific data processing activities can be found on the Vimeo website.

When you contact us (e.g. via the contact form or by email), personal data is processed – solely for the purpose of handling and responding to your enquiry and only to the extent necessary for this purpose. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your enquiry is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
