The collection of these data is used to correctly display the content of our website and carry out a technical analysis of the possible causes of the disruption in the event of a problem. These data cannot be assigned to specific persons and are not combined with data from other sources.
However, we reserve the right to check the log data at a later date if, on the basis of concrete evidence, there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use.
Personal data
Personal data is information about an identified or identifiable person, i.e. information which can be traced back to an individual. This includes e.g. names, addresses, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers as well as information about preferences, hobbies, memberships or website access.

Such obligations exist in particular for documents required under commercial law or for taxation purposes. The conditions for deletion are checked at regular intervals. In individual cases, it may be necessary to disclose your data to the third parties involved in processing your order, such as business partners or IT service providers, in order to provide customised service. The disclosure will be made only to third parties who have committed themselves to data protection and the processing of their data in accordance with the applicable laws. We restrict ourselves to the information necessary for providing the respective service.
The respective third party may use the personal data only for the provision of the requested service. We will not disclose, sell or otherwise make your personal data available to third parties for marketing purposes without your prior consent. We may be required to disclose your data and related information on order of the court or by official directive.

Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), for the purpose of statistically evaluating access to our website. Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google Analytics cookies are stored based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) of GDPR. We have added the "anonymizeIP" code to Google Analytics on this website. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data are collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet to the website operator. The IP address provided by your browser to Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to fully utilise all the functions of this website.
You may also prevent Google from tracking the data generated by the cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
For more information on terms of use and privacy, please visit http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or http://www.google.de/intl/en-GB/policies.
For the purpose of tracking downloads and video starts, we also use Google Tag Manager on our website. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal information. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If disabled at the domain or cookie level, it will remain disabled for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. For more information on terms of use and privacy, please visit http://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html
Matomo
This website uses the website analysis software Matomo (www.matomo.org) to collect and store data for marketing purposes and optimisation purposes. This data is used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. To do this, Matomo uses cookies. Cookies are small text files stored locally in the cache of the internet browser used by the website visitor. The cookies facilitate the recognition of your internet browser when you return to the website. The data collected using the Matomo technology (including your anonymised IP address) will be transmitted to our server and stored for usage analysis purposes, which will help us to optimise our website. The data generated by the cookie stored in the pseudonymised user profile will not be used to identify the visitor of this website or linked with any personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data of users is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyse the browsing behaviour of our users. The analysis of the data helps us to put together information about the use of the individual compenents of our website, enabling us to continue improving the website and making it more user-friendly. For these purposes, our legitimate interest also lies in the procesing of personal data in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The anonymisation of the IP address sufficiently takes account of the interests of users in their protection of personal data.
The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which they were originally stored.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site. This gives you as the user full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If you choose to disable cookies for our website, you may not be able to completely use all the functions and features of the website.

The other personal data processed serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
