1. Access Data and Hosting


You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Each time a website is accessed, the web server only automatically saves a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, date and time of access, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access. This access data is analyzed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation of the site and improving our offer. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests, which predominate in the context of a weighing of interests, in the correct presentation of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

All access data will be deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to our website.

Hosting

Social buttons from social networks are used on our website. These are only integrated into the page as HTML links so that no connection is established with the servers of the respective provider when our website is accessed. If you click on one of the buttons, the website of the respective social network will open in a new window of your browser where you can click on the Like or Share button, for example.


Our online presence on Facebook (by Meta), Instagram (by Meta), YouTube, Pinterest

If you have given your consent to the respective social media operator in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR, your data will be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes when you visit our online presences on the above-mentioned social media, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms.
