The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. The recipients of the data are only the responsible party and, if applicable, processors.
Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our online presence and the underlying technology.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files transferred from a website server to your hard drive. Through this, we automatically receive certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system, and your connection to the Internet.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate your navigation and ensure the correct display of our websites.
Under no circumstances will the data we collect be shared with third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies by default. Generally, you can disable the use of cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please use your browser's help functions to learn how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not function properly if you have disabled cookies.
SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods that meet the current technological standards (e.g., SSL) over HTTPS.
Contact
When you contact us via email or contact form with any questions, you provide us with your voluntary consent for the purpose of communication. A valid email address is required for this purpose, as it is used to associate the inquiry with and subsequently respond to it. Providing additional data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any potential follow-up questions. After the inquiry has been processed, personal data will be automatically deleted.
Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer that enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, Google will shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide additional services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
The purposes of data processing are to analyze website usage and compile reports on website activities. Based on website and internet usage, additional related services are to be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent. Additionally, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add-On to Disable Google Analytics.
Alternatively, or in addition to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will be installed on your device, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting data on this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)
To correctly and visually display our content across different browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Webfonts or blocks access, content will be displayed in a standard font.
Accessing script libraries or font libraries automatically establishes a connection with the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible—though currently unclear if or for what purposes—that the operators of such libraries may collect data.
You can find the privacy policy of the library operator Google here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Embedded YouTube videos
On some of our webpages, we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the relevant plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs YouTube about the pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies to collect information about user behavior.
If you have disabled cookies for the Google Ads program, you will not have to expect such cookies while watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you need to block the storage of cookies in your browser.
Changes to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your return visit.
The privacy policy was created, among other things, with the privacy policy generator of activeMind AG.
