General information
Provision of data
Usually there is no legal or contractual requirement to provide personal data in order to use our website. If the provision of data is necessary for the conclusion of a contract or if the user is obliged to provide personal data, we will inform the user of this circumstance and the consequences of not providing the data in this data protection declaration.
Data transfer to third countries
We may use service providers and third parties located in countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area. The transfer of personal data to such third countries is based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission (Art. 45 GDPR) or we have provided appropriate safeguards to ensure data protection (Art. 46 GDPR). Insofar as an adequacy decision of the European Commission exists for the transfer of data to a third country, we point this out in this privacy policy. In all other respects, users can obtain a copy of the appropriate safeguards, insofar as this is not already contained in the data protection declarations of the service providers or third-party providers, from us.
Automated decision making
If we use automated decision-making including profiling, we will inform you in this privacy statement about this circumstance, the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing. Otherwise, automated decision-making does not take place.
Processing for other purposes
In principle, data is only processed for the purposes for which it was collected. If, exceptionally, they are to be further processed for other purposes, we will inform about these other purposes prior to this further processing and provide all other relevant information (Art. 13 para. 3 GDPR).

The processing of this data is necessary to deliver the website to the user and to optimize it for his end device. The storage in log files serves to improve the security of our website (e.g. protection against DDOS attacks). IP addresses are anonymized before being stored in log files. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to provide the website and improve website security. Log files are automatically deleted after 30 days.
Cookies, tracking pixels and mobile identifiers
On our website, we use technologies to recognize the end device used. These can be cookies, tracking pixels and/or mobile identifiers.

We describe separately in this privacy policy which technologies we use in detail and for which purposes.
For a better understanding, we explain below in general how cookies, tracking pixels and mobile identifiers work:
