6. Cookies / tracking and other technologies in connection with the use of our website
When using our website, data is generated that is logged and stored (mainly technical data). In addition, we may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g. pixel tags or fingerprints) to recognize website visitors, evaluate their behavior and identify preferences. A cookie is a small file that is transferred between your system and the server and makes it possible to recognize a specific device or browser. You can set your browser so that it automatically rejects, accepts or deletes cookies. You can also deactivate or delete cookies in individual cases. You can find out how to manage cookies in your browser in the help menu of your browser.
Neither the technical data collected by us nor cookies contain any personal data. However, personal data that we or third-party providers commissioned by us store about you (e.g. if you have a user account with these providers) may be linked to the technical data or the data stored in cookies and the information derived from it, and thus possibly to your identity.
We also use social media plug-ins, which are small pieces of software that establish a connection between your visit to our website and a third-party provider. The social media plugin informs the third-party provider that you have visited our website and may send cookies to the third-party provider that the third-party provider has previously placed in your web browser. For more information on how these third-party providers use your personal data collected via social media plugins, please refer to their respective privacy notices.
7. Duration of the storage of personal data
In principle, we process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or otherwise for the purposes pursued with the processing and beyond that in accordance with the statutory retention and documentation obligations.
8. Data security
We take standard technical and organizational security precautions to protect your personal data, such as access controls and restrictions, encryption of data carriers and anonymization of certain data. For data security, we also refer to the security measures of the third-party providers we use, see section 4.
9. Obligation to provide personal data
As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment and implementation of a business relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations (you do not generally have a legal obligation to provide us with data). Without this data, you will generally not be able to take advantage of our offers. The website can also not be used if certain information to secure data traffic (such as IP address) is not disclosed.
10. Changes to this policy
We may amend this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website shall apply. If the privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of the change by e-mail or other suitable means in the event of an update.
