data protection

The protection of your personal data is of particular importance to me. I therefore process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (GDPR 2018).
In this privacy policy I will inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on this website.

Data collection, use and sharing

If you contact me using the form on the website or by email, the data you provide will be stored for six months to process your request and in case of follow-up questions. I will not pass this data on to anyone else.

control over data

I use the Google service reCaptcha to determine whether a person or a computer is making a certain entry in the contact form. Google uses the following data to check whether you are a person or a computer: IP address of the device used, the website you are visiting here and on which the captcha is integrated, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks where you have to identify images. The legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on this site in this data processing to ensure the security of the website and to protect me from automated entries (attacks).

data security

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google".

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on the visitor's computer and that enable an analysis of the use of the website by the visitor. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes any direct personal reference. The extension means that Google's IP address is shortened beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing this website, analyzing website usage and adapting content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC is certified according to the so-called Privacy Shield (list entry here) and guarantees an appropriate level of data protection on this basis. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

The visitor can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plug-in can be downloaded and installed using the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The website visitor can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set which prevents the future collection of data when visiting this website.

Further information on data usage by Google, setting options and objection options can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
