If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR). The revocation of your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until you revoke your consent.

We will further inform you that provision of your Personal Data on this website is generally neither required by law nor by contract. You are not obligated to indicate any Personal Data on this website, except if we state this for individual cases in this data protection statement. Nevertheless, provision of the functions of this website and execution of an order will require processing of your Personal Data. You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about processing of your Personal Data by us (Art. 77 GDPR).
§ 3 Collection of Personal Data during a visit to our website
If you use our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit any information to us, we will only collect the Personal Data your browser transmits to our server. If you want to view our website, we will collect the following data that we require technically in order to show you our website, administrate it and to ensure its stability and security. The legal basis for this processing shall be Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The authorisation permits processing of Personal Data in the scope of "legitimate interest" of the controller, provided that your fundamental rights, fundamental freedoms or interests are not overriding. Our legitimate interest is in easier administration, in the user-friendly provision of the website and the ability to recognise, to fend and prosecute hacking and misuse. You may object to his processing activities at any time if there are any reasons in your special situation that oppose processing activities. An email to the data protection officer is enough for this.
Automatically collected Personal Data:
- Internet protocol address
- Date and time of the query
- Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Files that you have downloaded from our page (e.g. PDF or Word documents)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status /HTTP-status code
- The respective data volume transferred
- Website sending the request

- Operating system and its interface

§ 4 Use of Social-Media-links
We currently use the following Social-Media-Links: LinkedIn.
With this link, we enable you to interact and communicate with the social media and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our page, personal data in principle will not be passed on to the providers of the social media provider initially. The social media provider is indicated by the mark on the box above its first letter or the logo. We enable you to communicate directly with the social media provider using the button. Only if you click the marked field and activate it this way, the social media provider will be informed that you have called the corresponding website of our online offer. The data named in § 3 of this statement will be transmitted as well. Activation of the links will therefore transmit personal data concerning you to the respective social media provider, where they will be stored (under some circumstances in the USA for US providers). Since the social media provider collects data in particular using cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via the safety settings of your browser.
We cannot influence the collected data and processing activities, and we do not know the full scope of data collection, purpose of storage or the storage periods. We also have no information on deletion of the data collected by the social media provider. Contact the providers of the social media to that extent. Against this background, we recommend reading the respective current data protection notes of the social media provider named above.
Data will be transmitted independently of whether you have an account with the social media provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the social media provider, your data collected by us may be associated directly with your account with the plug-in provider. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, in particular before activating the button, since this may prevent assignment to your profile with the social media provider.
We do not store the data. Information on the storage duration and further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the social media provider is available in the following data protection statements of these providers. It also contains further information on your rights to that extent and setting options for protecting your privacy.
