The responsible body in the sense of the Data Protection Act is Tomas Voltz c/o RA Michael Voltz, Antonienstrasse 1, 80802 Munich, Germany

Collection and storage of personal data as well as their type, purpose and use:

When you visit our website, the browser used by your terminal device automatically sends information to our web server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following data is collected without your intervention and stored until automatic deletion:

- IP address of the requesting computer,
- date and time of access,
- name and URL of the accessed file,
- website from which you accessed (referrer URL),
- the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.
We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
- to ensure a smooth connection of the website,
- to ensure a comfortable use of our website,
- to evaluate the security and stability of the system, and
- for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

When you send us an email, we store your email address and the other data you have provided in your message in order to respond to your request in accordance with the European Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection and Digital Rights Act (GDPR). As soon as this data is no longer required to process your enquiry, we will delete it immediately, unless we are still legally obliged to store it in accordance with Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit a DSGVO.

We ensure that the data collected is protected against unauthorised access by third parties in accordance with the state of the art. Please note, however, that unencrypted e-mails sent via the Internet are not sufficiently protected against unauthorised access by third parties.

Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned below. We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

- you have given your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO,

- this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO, and

- in the event of a legal obligation to pass on data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO.

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware. Information about the end device used in each case is stored in the cookie.

However, this does not mean that we have direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you.

We use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. In addition, in order to optimise user-friendliness, we also use temporary cookies that are stored on your terminal device for a certain period of time. When you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been to our site and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

Furthermore, we use cookies to statistically record and evaluate the use of our website in order to optimise our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already been to our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a certain period of time.

The data processed by the cookies serve the above-mentioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests as well as the interests of third parties in accordance with the European Data Protection Regulation and the Basic Law on Data Protection and the Guarantee of Digital Rights.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can set your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely disabling cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our website.

In order to understand and improve the use of our website, we use the open source web analytics service "Plausible" based in Estonia (Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403, Tartu, Estonia, Registration number 14709274).

Plausible does not set any cookies, does not store any information in the browser and generally does not collect any personal data with which we can identify visitors to our website: URL, HTTP referrer, browser, operating system, device, country.

The processing is based on our legitimate interest in measuring the reach of our website (European Data Protection Regulation and General Data Protection Regulation).

For more information about "Plausible", please visit plausible.io/data-policy.

Normally, social plugins lead every visitor to a page being immediately recorded by these services with their IP address and their further activities on the internet being logged. This happens even if the user does not click on one of the buttons.

To prevent this, we use the open source method Shariff. Our social buttons only establish direct contact between a social network and you when you actively click on the share button. If you are already logged in to a social network, Facebook does this without another window. With Twitter, a pop-up window appears where you can edit the text of the tweet.

Users can therefore post our content on social networks without them being able to create complete surf profiles. To our knowledge, with the Shariff method we support your data protection interests as far as it corresponds to the current state of the art. The Shariff method is already used by many websites to protect their users.

We have concluded a contract on order processing (AVV) with Hostpoint AG, based in Rapperswil, Switzerland.

All email traffic and forms offered on our website for contacting us run through Hostpoint AG (not through Webflow) and are subject to Swiss data protection laws.

For most data, this is a maximum of six months.

As the exercise of these rights is very personal, you must attach a copy of your identity card or equivalent document to the request.

We use the general SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser when visiting the website. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether a particular page on our website is encrypted by the fact that the key or padlock symbol is displayed closed in the lower status bar of your browser.

In addition, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.Updating and amending this data protection policy
