Comments

When visitors post comments on the site, we collect the data displayed in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and the user agent string (this identifies the browser) to help detect spam.

An anonymized string can be created from your email address (also called a hash) and passed to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The privacy policy of the Gravatar service can be found here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture will be publicly visible in the context of your comment.

 

Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected by this.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. 

You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Piwik PRO & Piwik PRO Tag Manager

We use the Piwik PRO Analytics Suite from Piwik PRO GmbH (Kurfürstendamm 21, 10719 Berlin, Germany, “Piwik PRO”), our processor, as our website/app analytics software. We collect data about website visitors.
Piwik PRO collects data about your operating system, your browser, browsing activities and other information. We calculate metrics such as bounce rate, page views, sessions and the like to understand how our website is used. Your IP address is immediately anonymized and shortened: the last bytes of the IP address are replaced by zeros. Your IP address is therefore completely hidden. Furthermore, no data about your screen resolution and your browser plug-ins are recorded.

Piwik distinguishes in terms of its functionality whether a user has consented to data processing by Piwik and the use of cookies or not.

If you do not consent to data processing by Piwik and cookies, data will only be collected without cookies. In this way, new and returning visitors are not recognized. So-called “device fingerprinting” does not take place. The purpose of data processing to such an extent is then: Legitimate interests of the controller. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

If you consent to data processing by Piwik and cookies, we can also create a visitor profile based on the browsing history and thus analyze visitor behavior, display personalized content and carry out online campaigns. The purpose of the data processing is then: Analytics and conversion tracking based on your consent. Legal basis: Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.

Here you can view the scope of the data collected by Piwik PRO in detail.

Piwik PRO is hosted on Microsoft Azure in Germany. The data is stored for 12 months. Piwik PRO does not share data about you with other sub-processors or third parties and does not use it for its own purposes. You can find more information in the Piwik PRO privacy policy and you can unsubscribe from Piwik PRO tracking at any time.
