When you contact us by e-mail or through a contact form, the data you provide (your e-mail address, your name and any other information provided) will be stored by us in order to process and to respond to your inquiry. We will erase the data collected in this context once its storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing where there exist legal obligations of retention.
All our employees are committed to complying with data protection regulations. Access to data of employees, customers, service providers and partners is strictly limited to authorised individuals. We only collect and use personal data of our users as required to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is generally only carried out with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent is not possible for factual reasons, and the processing of data is permitted by law.
Where we use contracted service providers for individual functions of our offer or if we wish to use your data for promotional purposes, we inform you in detail about the respective processes below, also stating the defined criteria for the duration of storage.
Legal basis for processing:
Where processing is based on consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or precontractual measures in which the data subject is a contractual party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where processing of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where processing is necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest pursued by our organisation or a third party and these interests override without impairing the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject in this relationship, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Your Rights:
You have the right to obtain information about the data stored about yourself free of charge. You also have the right to the correction of incorrect data, if applicable to the erasure of your personal data and to the restriction of data processing.
Where data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (pursuit of legitimate interests), you have the right, according to Art. 21 GDPR, to object to the processing of your personal data at any time provided that there are grounds relating to your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which we will implement, without reasons being specified in relation to your particular situation (Art. 21(2) GDPR). If you object for reasons based on your particular situation, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Art. 21(1) GDPR).
Where you provide us with personal data and we process this data based on your consent, you can freely revoke such consent with future effect at any time.
Where you provide us with personal data and we process this data based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, you also have the right to demand that we provide this data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible (right to data portability).
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the data protection regulations.

Integration of Google Maps:
On our website, we use Google Maps (API) provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographic information. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and easy findability of the locations specified by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to your needs. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (incl. for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google.
​
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google as part of using Google Maps, you also have the option to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and the map display on this website can then no longer be used.

Storage of data by plug-in providers:
The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses it for advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to your needs. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (incl. for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of presenting customised advertising and informing other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact the respective plug-in provider. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, allowing us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected on our website will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, especially before activating the button, to avoid association with your profile at the plug-in provider.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the privacy statements of these providers. There, you will also find further information on your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy.
