2. Data processing related to visiting this website

Categories, sources and origin of data 
In server log files, the provider of the website automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits to us. These are:

– Visited page on our domain
– Date and time of the server request
– Browser type and browser version
– Operating system used
– Referrer URL
– Hostname of the accessing computer
– IP address (anonymized)

These data are not merged with other data sources. The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU-GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Passing on to third parties 
We use processors, i.e. companies that we commission to process data within the scope provided by law, Art. 28 DSGVO. This applies in particular to the areas of payment and shipping. The necessary data protection agreements were concluded with these service providers.

Otherwise, data will only be passed on to third parties if we are obliged to do so by mandatory legal provisions (passing on data to external bodies such as supervisory authorities or law enforcement agencies).

Within our company, we ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it in order to fulfill their contractual and legal obligations.

Storage period of the data 
We store your data as long as they are needed for the respective processing purpose. Please note that numerous retention periods mean that data must continue to be stored. This applies in particular to commercial law or tax law storage obligations (e.g. Commercial Code, Tax Code, etc.). If there are no further storage obligations, the data will be deleted as soon as it has been used for its intended purpose.

Data transmission 
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

In order to protect data stored with us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons in the best possible way, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures.

Third country transmission  
Data will only be transferred to third countries (outside the European Union or the European Economic Area) to the extent that this is necessary for the performance of the contractual obligation is required by law or you have given us your consent.

If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these will be dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.

Matomo  
Our website uses the web analysis service Matomo. Matomo is an Open Source solution.  Matomo uses “cookies”.

It is possible to make contact requests via the partnering portal, about which the requested person will be informed by e-mail. E-mail addresses themselves are not displayed on the partnering portal. After finalizing the registration, the data entered in the input masks will be transmitted exclusively for the operation of the partnering portal to partneringONE®, provided by EBD Group.
