1. Responsible party and protection of your personal data
The operators of this website place great importance on the protection of your personal data. Personal data includes all information that relates to you as an identifiable natural person, e.g. name, address, email address, and usage behaviour (according to Art. 4 No. 1 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)). Responsible for data processing within the meaning of Art. 4 Para. 7 GDPR is: Mr. Josef Gellio Am Erlenhof 22a 35415 Pohlheim If you have any questions regarding data processing, you can contact us at any time.
2. Collection and storage of personal data
Contacting us via email or contact form When you contact us via email or through the contact form, we store the data you provide (e.g. email address, possibly name and phone number) in order to process your request. The data is stored only as long as necessary for processing; afterwards, the data will be deleted unless there are legal retention obligations. Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities and complete protection of the data from access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
3. Collection of personal data when using the website
When you use our website purely for informational purposes, meaning you do not actively transmit any information, we only collect the data that your browser automatically sends to our server. This so-called server log data is necessary for the display and ensuring the stability and security of the website and includes:
- Anonymised IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status/HTTP status code
- Amount of data transmitted each time
- Website from which the request originates
- Browser used
This data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR and does not allow for direct conclusions about your identity. There will be no merging with other data sources. However, we reserve the right to review this data subsequently if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
4. Use of the contact and registration form
If you contact us via a form on the website or sign up for press information or our newsletter, we will store your submitted data, including the provided contact details, for processing the request and for any follow-up questions. This data will not be shared with third parties without your explicit consent. For registrations, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure: your registration will only be completed after confirmation by clicking the link in the confirmation email sent to you. If confirmation is not received within 48 hours, your details will be automatically deleted from our database.
5. SSL encryption
To protect the transmission of confidential content, our website uses SSL encryption. You can recognise the encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from http:// to https:// and a lock symbol appears. With SSL encryption, your data transmitted to us is generally not accessible to third parties.
