When visiting this website and using the various offers, we process your personal data as described in detail below.

In operating the website with its wide range of offers, we cooperate with the following external service providers, which we have carefully selected and obligated to comply with data protection laws based on contract processing agreements per Art. 28 EU GDPR: The agency Faktor E GmbH, Poppelsdorfer Allee 104, 53115 Bonn, supports us in the implementation of the homepage design, the homepage is hosted by Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp.

1. Server log files and error log files

Every time you visit our website, your browser transmits access data, so-called server log files or access logs, which we process – via the external service provider Mittelwald, which is integrated per data protection regulations – to ensure system security. This data is used to record IP address, directory protection user, date and time of access, accessed pages, logs, status code, data volume, referrer (the page from which you accessed us), user agent and hostname. The IP addresses are stored anonymously. For this purpose, the last three digits are removed, i.e. 127.0.0.1 becomes 127.0.0.*. IPv6 addresses are also anonymized. Accesses via FTP are logged with anonymized information regarding user name and IP address. The anonymized IP addresses are stored for 60 days. Details of the utilized directory protection user are anonymized after one day.

This data is needed to ensure system security, e.g. to identify and block attackers in the event of a hacker attack. This is necessary for the performance of our duties and is in our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6 I 1 e EU GDPR, § 3 DSG NRW, § 2 StWG).

Also, we use so-called error logs to record incorrect page views to detect and correct technical errors. These are deleted after seven days. In addition to error messages, these logs contain the accessing IP address and, depending on the error, the accessed website. This data is required to detect and correct errors on our website. This is necessary for the performance of our duties and is in our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6 I 1 e EU GDPR, § 3 DSG NRW, § 2 StWG).

2. Cookies

Every time you visit our website, we will ask you whether you agree or disagree with the use of Matomo cookies (see the following section); for this purpose. A cookie notification will appear on your first visit to our site, informing you about the use of cookies (regarding this page) and displaying "Deny" or - for your consent - "Ok" as clickable selection options. To ensure that we are aware of your selection during your further visit to the website and subsequent visits, we store your selection in so-called "content cookies", which are stored on your end device as a small text file for more than 1 year (if you deny them) or permanently (if you agree). If you do not make a choice, i.e. you neither click on "Deny" nor on "Ok", we consider this as "Deny".

The use of "Consent Cookies" is necessary for the performance of the tasks incumbent on us and is in our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6 I 1 e EU GDPR, § 3 DSG NRW, § 2 StWG), as this is the only way we can understand and prove whether you have consented to the use of Matomo or not. If you do not want cookies to be used, you can also block the use of cookies in your browser settings. You can still visit our website but you cannot use it in the same way; in particular, the cookie banner will then be displayed to you again and again.

3. Matomo (formerly Piwik)

This website uses the service Matomo (formerly Piwik) if you agree to it. With the help of this web analysis service, it is possible to evaluate the collected usage data for statistical purposes to optimize the design of the website. The IP address assigned to you is also stored but is immediately anonymized afterward using the "AnonymizeIP" extension.

Matomo uses session cookies and tracking cookies, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. We set these cookies as soon as you open our website and click on "Ok" on the cookie banner. If you click on "Deny" on the cookie banner or make no selection at all, no cookies are set by Matomo. The session cookies are automatically deleted when closing all browser windows ("MATOMO_SESSID") and after 30 minutes ("_pk_ses"), the tracking cookie ("_pk.id") is automatically deleted after 13 months. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is transmitted to our servers and stored there.

We only use Matomo after your explicit consent by confirming ("Ok") in the cookie banner (Art. 6 I 1 a EU GDPR). The submission of consent is voluntary. You can revoke your consent at any time and prevent the use of Matomo by activating the checkbox included below. We use Matomo to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. We can thus fulfill the tasks incumbent upon us, which is also in our predominantly legitimate interest (Art. 6 I 1 e EU-DS-GVO, § 3 DSG NRW, § 2 StWG).

If you do not wish to use cookies, you can also block the use of cookies in your browser settings. You can still visit our website then, but cannot use it in the same way (see "Cookies" above).

6. Social Media: Facebook – Instagram – Twitter

We use third-party offerings in several places on our website and maintain our offers on social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

This allows us to offer our visitors further access to information about our services and also various options for social interaction. The links to social media presence also enable you to share our offer with others. If you click on the respective icons on our website, you can log in to the respective providers with your account and then share our offer with others. In some cases, the information about our offer is already pre-registered. We always work with a 2-click solution.  This means: Information is only transmitted to these third-party providers when you click on one of the links or call up our offer directly from third-party providers.

If you click on the icons, a new browser window will open and your data will be transmitted to the respective provider, in particular, the page from which you came. This also applies if you do not have an account with the respective provider or are not logged in.

We use usage reports transmitted by Facebook to continuously improve our Facebook page. This data is only collected by Facebook and transmitted to us if you have a Facebook account and visit our site there. We and Facebook are responsible for this data processing. We have concluded an agreement with Facebook that regulates the distribution of duties transparently (Art. 26 EU GDPR; available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum). The main content of this agreement is that Facebook is primarily responsible for visitor data processing and fulfills all relevant obligations of the EU GDPR with regard to the processing of visitor data (including, but not limited to, the fulfillment of the rights of the data subject). Further below, we show you where you can obtain further information on data processing on Facebook.

Apart from that, we have no influence on what personal data these third-party providers collect and how they deal with them. We are not aware of this either. Please note that some of these providers are based outside the EU and your data will therefore probably be transferred to third countries for which an adequate level of data protection is not necessarily guaranteed. You can obtain further information on the handling of your data from the respective third party providers.
