We appreciate your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we provide detailed information on how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a web page is accessed, the web server only automatically stores a so-called server log file, which includes, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, transferred data volume, and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the access. This access data is evaluated exclusively to ensure the trouble-free operation of the site and to improve our offer. This serves to protect our predominantly legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after your visit to the page ends.

1.1 Hosting

The hosting services and the display of the website are partly provided by our service providers, Vercel Inc., as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. For questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact the contact options described in this privacy policy.

1.2 Content Delivery Network

For the purpose of faster loading times, we use a content delivery network ("CDN") for some offers. This service delivers content, such as large media files, via regionally distributed servers of external CDN service providers. Therefore, access data is processed on the servers of the service providers. Our service providers act on our behalf as data processors. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on the standard data protection clauses of the European Commission. For questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact the contact options described in this privacy policy.
