  3. General Information on Data Processing

    1. Scope of Personal Data Processing

      We only process our users' personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

    2. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

      Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

      For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

      Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

      In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

      If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

    3. Data Deletion and Storage Duration

      The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also occur if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

  4. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

    1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

      Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

      • Information about the browser type and version used
      • The user's operating system
      • The user's IP address
      • Date and time of access
      • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website

      The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

      The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

      Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

      These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

    4. Duration of Storage

      The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

      In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that an assignment of the accessing client is no longer possible.

    5. Right to Object and Erasure

      The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

  9. Newsletter

    1. Newsletter Subscription

      With our offer to subscribe to a newsletter sent by email, we would like to provide you with current offers and information in a timely manner. The type and scope of the data collected can be seen from the mask used. When subscribing to a newsletter, we use the legally required double opt-in procedure. This serves to verify your email address and to protect against misuse. In addition to the information you actively provide, your IP address used during registration is also stored. This is done for reasons of legal protection and to protect against misuse of your registration data. The personal data actively collected during registration is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and for correctly addressing you. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers can be informed by email as soon as changes occur to the newsletter service system, the legal provisions for operating the newsletter service, or the handling of the personal data of newsletter subscribers. Personal data of newsletter subscribers will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances. You can revoke your consent to the storage of your actively provided information at any time.

    2. Newsletter Tracking

      When sending the newsletter, we use techniques that allow us to recognize when a newsletter is opened and which links in the newsletter are clicked. This data is collected automatically and serves internal statistical purposes, which indicate the success of a newsletter mailing. This allows us to optimize subsequent newsletters even better and adapt them to the information wishes of our subscribers. This user-related data is not passed on to third parties. After unsubscribing from a newsletter, the newsletter subscriber is marked as inactive and is no longer considered in subsequent mailings and statistics. Deletion from the list of active or inactive newsletter subscribers can be initiated at any time.

    3. Storage of Cookies and Session IDs

      Our site uses cookies (short text files) to ensure a secure, optimal, and user-friendly function.

After visiting our pages, you can view and also directly delete the generated cookie on your system. When you first visit our pages, you will be informed about the use of cookies by a corresponding notice. At this point, you can prevent the storage of cookies by leaving our website. By deactivating cookie storage in your browser, not all functions of our internet offer may be usable. Session IDs are also used to enable the most comfortable use of our pages possible.

After leaving our website by closing the browser window or switching to an unspecified, external website, this session ID is deleted.

  10. Shop

    An integral part of our web offering is an online shop. The connection to our server is made via an SSL protocol, so you can be sure that your data cannot be viewed by third parties, or that the displayed page content originates from an external server. Your information necessary for an order will be used exclusively for this purpose. Your personal data will be used to record the order process, invoice the order, and send the ordered goods - also in digital form. Your data may be passed on to the payment service provider, which you can select yourself during the ordering process, and possibly to a shipping service provider who delivers the ordered goods to you.

    1. Registration Forms for Events

      A particularly user-friendly registration process for events on our website enables you and us to handle these appointments conveniently. The information provided when registering for an event, course, or further training enables a dialogue that is necessary to manage confirmations, waiting lists, and participant lists. The issuance of an invoice for a booked event is also part of this handling. We store the data in a legally prescribed manner. Your data can be deleted at any time, provided that legal provisions do not prescribe other retention periods or your data is required for the processing of an active process, such as registration for a paid service. Your personal information serves exclusively this purpose and will under no circumstances be made accessible to third parties. You can gladly receive insight into the data stored by us for this purpose upon request.

      Should we take measures that are subject to notification according to the GDPR, we will update this privacy policy before implementing these measures.

      We hope that this statement has answered your questions about how we handle your data. Should you have any further specific questions, please feel free to contact us by phone or email.
