This website is hosted by:

IONOS SE

When this website is accessed, IONOS may automatically collect and process technical access data in server log files. This may include:

– the IP address of the requesting device;
– the date and time of access;
– the page or file requested;
– the amount of data transferred;
– the referring website;
– browser type and browser version;
– the operating system used; and
– the type of device used.

This processing is necessary to deliver the website, maintain its stability and security, identify technical faults and defend against unlawful access or attacks.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable and technically reliable operation of the website.

IONOS processes the data as a service provider acting on behalf of the website operator. According to the information provided by IONOS for the service used on this website, server log data is retained for no longer than eight weeks and is then automatically deleted, unless continued storage is necessary in an individual case for security, investigation or evidentiary purposes.

1. CONSENT MANAGEMENT

This website uses the IONOS consent-management function to record whether a visitor has accepted or rejected optional services.

For this purpose, the technically necessary cookie “gox_cookie_consent” is stored on the visitor’s device. It records the visitor’s consent preferences and normally remains stored for 30 days.

The legal basis for storing this technically necessary consent preference is section 25(2), no. 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). To the extent that personal data is processed, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in documenting and respecting the visitor’s privacy choices.

Optional services are not intended to be activated unless the visitor has given prior consent. Consent may be withdrawn or amended at any time through the “Privacy Settings” function. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

1. IONOS SITEANALYTICS

Subject to the visitor’s prior consent, this website uses IONOS SiteAnalytics. This service enables statistical analysis of website use and helps us improve the functionality, accessibility and technical performance of the website.

The service may process:

– the referring website;
– the page or file requested;
– browser type and browser version;
– the operating system used;
– the type of device used;
– the date and time of access; and
– the IP address in anonymised form, which is used to determine the approximate location of access.

IONOS SiteAnalytics uses a tracking pixel or server-side log data. According to IONOS, it does not use cookies to store analytics information on the visitor’s device.

The legal basis is the visitor’s consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where information is accessed on the visitor’s device, the legal basis is also section 25(1) TDDDG.

The recipient is:

IONOS SE
Elgendorfer Straße 57

The data is processed in Germany and within the European Union. According to IONOS, the analytics data is stored for eight weeks and is then automatically deleted.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the “Privacy Settings” function.

1. WEBSITE TRANSLATOR

Subject to the visitor’s prior consent, this website offers a translation function provided by:

Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House
Barrow Street
Dublin 4
Ireland

The translation function is not loaded until the visitor gives consent. When it is activated, a connection to Google’s servers is established. Google may process the visitor’s IP address and may use cookies, pixels or comparable technologies. Google may also process information concerning the visitor’s browser, device and use of the translation function.

The purposes of the processing are to provide the requested translation function, supply the technical resources required for that function and analyse its operation.

The legal basis is the visitor’s consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, insofar as information is stored on or accessed from the visitor’s device, section 25(1) TDDDG.

Recipients may include Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC and other companies belonging to the Google group.

Data may also be processed outside the European Union or European Economic Area, particularly in the United States. Google LLC states that it is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Where that framework does not apply, Google may rely on other safeguards recognised under Articles 44 to 49 GDPR.

The duration of processing is determined by Google. According to the information supplied for the translation service, data is deleted when it is no longer required for the respective processing purpose.

Consent may be withdrawn at any time through the “Privacy Settings” function. After withdrawal, the translation service will no longer be loaded. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

1. CONTACT BY EMAIL

If a visitor contacts the website operator by email, the sender’s email address, the content of the message and any other information voluntarily provided will be processed solely for the purpose of reading and, where necessary, responding to the enquiry.

Incoming emails are read exclusively by Christian Fuchs. Emails that require no further action are deleted by Christian Fuchs after they have been read. Where a reply or further correspondence is necessary, the message is retained only until the correspondence has been concluded and is then deleted, unless a statutory obligation or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims requires longer retention.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in receiving and dealing with enquiries addressed to the website operator. Where the correspondence concerns the conclusion or performance of an agreement, the additional legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The email service is technically provided by IONOS SE. IONOS may therefore process the email address, technical transmission data and the content of the email as a service provider acting on behalf of the website operator.
