What is this for?
This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address, or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot establish a link to your person, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further retention of the data. We will inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, in some cases we store your personal data for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and in the event of statutory retention obligations.
Who receives my data?
We only disclose your personal data that we process on our website to third parties where necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and as covered by the legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in some cases if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then include, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
Provided we use service providers for operating our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of a commissioned processing pursuant to Art. Art. 28 GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. For more information on the use of processors and web services, please refer to the list of individual processing operations.
Are cookies used?

As an alternative to using cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses, to for example recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). Cookies allow us, among other things, to make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly through your browser. Cookies do not harm your device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.
We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information on the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

If the right to object does not apply to individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
- Withdrawal pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR of your given consent with effect for the future.

The processing is carried out to safeguard our overriding legitimate interest to display our website and ensure security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The collection of data and storage in log files is mandatory for operating the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 (1) GDPR.

hCaptcha
Nature and scope of processing
We have integrated components of hCaptcha on our websites. hCaptcha is a service of Intuition Machines, Inc. (IMI) based in the USA and enables us to determine whether a contact request originates from a natural person or is automated by means of a program. This tool shows captchas – small tasks that are easy for humans to solve, but difficult for machines. These captchas help us identify spam.
The hCaptcha tool on principle processes technical information about your use of our website, such as mouse movements, scroll positions, buttons pressed, touch events on touch displays and possibly movements of your device (e.g. if you use our website with a smartphone). hCaptcha further collects the answers to the small tasks that you are asked. This data is processed by hCaptcha exclusively on our behalf to protect our website from bots and spam. Your (non-personal) answers to the small tasks (e.g. recognizing certain objects in pictures) is also used by hCaptcha to train algorithms.
The hCaptcha analysis in "invisible mode" can entirely take place in the background. Website or app visitors are not made aware that such analysis is taking place unless a challenge is displayed to the user. The processing of the data subject's data in the EU is carried out on the legal basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).
Purpose and legal basis
The service is used against the background of ensuring the availability of the website, protecting against bots and on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Storage period
