4.1 Description and scope of data processing

These websites are hosted by the web hosting service Site Ground. The service provider is the Spanish company SiteGround Spain S.L., Calle de Prim 19, 28004 Madrid, Spain (hereinafter “SiteGround”). Web hosting is the provision of storage capacity and the hosting of websites on the web server of the web hosting service.

The personal data collected on our website is stored on the servers of the hosting provider. This may include but is not limited to

  • IP addresses
  • contact details
  • Meta and communication data
  • contract data
  • website traffic

and other data generated via a website and presented in the context of this privacy policy.

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the hosting provider, which ensures that the data collected in this way is processed exclusively in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR and the TTDSG. We have located our hosting servers exclusively in the Federal Republic of Germany to ensure that your personal data is only processed in a country with a high level of data security. In the case of data processing by SiteGround, however, it cannot be completely ruled out that personal data may be transferred to the USA and the United Kingdom, as SiteGround operates affiliated companies there within the group of companies. In this case, we have agreed with SiteGround within the framework of the concluded order processing contract that the requirements of the GDPR for a transfer to so-called third countries must be complied with (see below).

4.2 Purposes of data processing

The storage of the above-mentioned data, in particular the IP address, by our systems is only carried out temporarily for the duration of the session and is necessary to ensure the proper operation and presentation of the websites. We also use SiteGround to display our websites in a way that allows you to access our website without problems. We also want to secure our website against the influence of unauthorised third parties and improve it regularly.

4.3 Legal basis
4.3.1 Legal basis for data processing

The use of SiteGround is in our interest to ensure a stable and appealing presentation and accessibility of our website for you. This constitutes a legitimate business interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

4.3.2 Legal basis in the event of data transfer to a third country

As described, in the case of data processing by SiteGround, it cannot be completely ruled out that personal data will be transferred to the USA and the United Kingdom, as SiteGround operates affiliated companies there within the group of companies. In each case, Your personal data will be transferred to the USA and the United Kingdom on the basis of the available adequacy decision described at
https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_de
Subject to legal or contractual permissions, personal data may only be processed in a third country if the special prerequisites of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. Accordingly, data may be transferred in particular if the European Commission has determined by way of a decision within the meaning of Article 45 (1) and (3) of the GDPR that an adequate level of data protection is provided in the third country concerned. By means of such so-called adequacy decisions, the European Commission certifies a level of data protection in third countries that is comparable to the recognized standard in the European Economic Area (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_de.
Insofar as a data transfer takes place between the USA or the United Kingdom and the EU, it should be noted that such an adequacy decision exists for the USA and the United Kingdom. The data protection agreement (USA) and the adequacy decision (United Kingdom) can be found at Adequacy decision EU-US Data Privacy Framework_en.pdf (europa.eu) sowie EUR-Lex – L:2021:360:TOC – EN – EUR-Lex (europa.eu). The decisions state that the US and the UK will ensure an adequate level of protection – comparable to that of the European Union – for personal data.
US companies can become certified under the new data protection agreement by committing to comply with specified data protection requirements, including, for example, obligations to delete personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to ensure the continuity of protection when personal data is disclosed to third parties. A list of all certified US companies can be found at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.

SiteGround (SG Hosting Inc.) is certified under the new US data protection agreement.

The agreement introduces binding safeguards. It provides that access by US intelligence agencies to EU data will be limited to what is necessary and proportionate and that a Data Protection Review Court (DPRC) will be established to which EU data subjects will have access. For example, if the DPRC finds that the new safeguards have been breached in the collection of the data, it can order the deletion of the data. The safeguards in the area of government access to data complement the obligations that US companies importing data from the EU must comply with.
Data subjects have several remedies if their data is not handled properly by US companies. These include free independent dispute resolution mechanisms and an arbitration board.

In addition, the data protection agreement provides certain safeguards regarding access by US authorities to data transferred within the data protection agreement, in particular for access for law enforcement and national security purposes. Access to data is limited to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security.

EU data subjects have access to an independent and impartial redress mechanism, including referral to a data protection review tribunal, in relation to the collection and use of their data by US intelligence agencies. This tribunal independently investigates and resolves complaints, including by ordering binding remedies.

Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR, the storage and readout of information on or from an end device, irrespective of the personal reference of the information, generally requires the consent of the person concerned. This includes, for example, the reading of browser information such as screen resolution, operating system versions or installed fonts by means of a JavaScript code, from which a unique and long-lasting (hash) value is formed and transmitted to a server (see above “browser fingerprinting”). Furthermore, this includes the setting or placement of so-called “cookies” (see section 3.3 on the term “cookie”), unless the use of the cookie is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Furthermore, the technical reading of cookies that have already been set requires the consent of the person concerned.

Google uses the above technologies to analyze and evaluate the user behavior of the data subject to the extent described in section 4.1.

We process your e-mail address in order to contact you for the purpose of sending you our electronic newsletter, to inform you about current events and, if applicable, current developments and to maintain our contractual relationship with you. In addition, we use this data for advertising messages by e-mail and, if we have received your e-mail address in connection with our products and services, for advertising measures about our own similar products and services.

9.3 Legal basis for data processing

In order to send you our newsletter, we will always obtain your explicit declaration of consent. For this purpose, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. After you have registered for the newsletter, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 48 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to prove your registration and to be able to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

If we do not already process your data on the basis of your explicit consent only in exceptional cases, your personal data will only be processed to the extent that this is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party and does not override your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

9.4 Storage period

We will delete your data as soon as we no longer need it for the purposes described. We will store your personal data for advertising and information purposes, i.e. sending you information and offers about services, or for the duration of your subscription.

§ 10 Integration of OpenStreetMap

10.1 Description and scope of data processing

This site uses the OpenStreetMap mapping service via an API interface for map sections to locate our sites. The provider is the OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WE, United Kingdom.

To use the functions of OpenStreetMap, it is necessary to store your IP address, data on your browser, device type and operating system, as well as the date and period of use. This information is usually transferred to a server of OpenStreetMap in the United Kingdom (Great Britain and Northern Ireland) and in the Netherlands and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.

10.2 Purpose of data processing

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and an easy location of the places indicated by us on the website.

10.3 Consent to the transfer of personal data to a third country

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, personal data may in principle only be processed in a third country if the special prerequisites of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. Accordingly, data may be transferred in particular if the European Commission has determined by way of a decision within the meaning of Article 45 (1) and (3) of the GDPR that an adequate level of data protection is provided in the third country concerned. By means of such so-called adequacy decisions, the European Commission certifies a level of data protection in third countries that is comparable to the recognized standard in the European Economic Area (a list of these countries, as well as a copy of the adequacy decisions, can be found here: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_de.

Insofar as a data transfer takes place between the USA and the EU, it should be noted that such an adequacy decision exists for the USA. The European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the new EU-US data protection agreement on 10 July 2023. The data protection agreement and the adequacy decision can be found at Adequacy decision EU-US Data Privacy Framework_en.pdf (europa.eu) . The decision states that the US will ensure an adequate level of protection – comparable to that of the European Union – for personal data transferred from the EU to US companies within the scope of the new data protection agreement.

US companies can become certified under the new data protection agreement by committing to comply with specified data protection requirements, including, for example, the obligations to delete personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to ensure the continuity of protection when personal data is transferred to third parties. A list of all certified US companies can be found at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search

To our knowledge (02.08.2023), the provider is not certified under the new data protection agreement.
In this respect, the data transfer is based on your express and voluntary consent.

By consenting to the collection of data by OpenStreetMap, you expressly agree to the data transfer described here.

This consent can be revoked at any time. A revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

10.4 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis is your explicit and voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1, p. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO to the processing of your personal data for darting purposes using OpenStreetMap.

10.5 Further information

Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and possible settings for the protection of your privacy, can be obtained from: OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WE, United Kingdom, at https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.

 

§ 11 Web analysis through Matomo

11.1 Description and scope of data processing

We use Matomo on this website, a website analysis software offered by InnoCraft Ltd, 7 Waterloo Quay PO625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand. A representative for the EU is ePrivacy Holding GmbH, Große Bleichen 21, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
Cookies are set through the use of Matomo.

Furthermore, in order to analyze the website

  • Your IP address and
  • information such as timestamps,
  • visited web pages and
  • your language settings

are processed.

The information collected in this way is stored on a server of our hosting provider.

We have concluded a data processing contract with the hosting provider, which ensures that the data collected is processed according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR and the TTDSG.

Matomo is used with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form and personal references can thus be ruled out. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, this is immediately excluded and the personally identifiable data is immediately deleted. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Matomo is not merged with other data collected by us.
The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for New Zealand.

 

11.2 Purposes of data processing

We use Matomo to analyze our website and to improve it regularly. The statistics obtained enable us in particular to make our offer more interesting for you.

11.3 Legal basis for storing and reading information in terminal equipment

Using Matomo, we can analyze and evaluate the user behavior of the person concerned via so-called “tracking”. Tracking is data processing for tracking the individual behavior of users on websites (usually across websites). Tracking is technically possible by identifying users through the use of so-called cookies, web bugs, JavaScripts or browser fingerprinting.

According to § 25 para. 1 p. 1 TTDSG in conjunction with. Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR, the storage and readout of information on or from an end device, irrespective of the personal reference of the information, generally requires the consent of the person concerned. This includes, for example, the reading of browser information such as screen resolution, operating system versions or installed fonts by means of a JavaScript code, from which a unique and long-lasting (hash) value is formed and transmitted to a server (see above “browser fingerprinting”). Furthermore, this includes the setting or placement of so-called “cookies”, insofar as the use of the cookie is not absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Furthermore, the technical reading of cookies that have already been set requires the consent of the person concerned.

We can and will only use Matomo to analyze and evaluate your user behavior to the extent and for the purposes described above if you have given us your explicit and voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with. § 25 1 p. 1 TTDSG.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

 

11.4 Further information

Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and on how to protect your privacy, can be obtained from InnoCraft Ltd (150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand) at https://matomo.org/matomo-cloud-privacy-policy/

We will disclose personal data to companies, organizations or persons outside our company if we can reasonably assume that access to this data or its use, storage or disclosure is necessary, in particular, to comply with applicable laws, regulations or legal procedures or to comply with an enforceable official order; the legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 Para. 1, S. 1 lit. c in conjunction with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b GDPR. Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b GDPR.

12.4 Transfer of your data to a third country or an international organization

However, within the framework of the jointly-used IT systems for the operation of the website, we also transfer your data to – as described in detail – Aristo AG, which is based in Switzerland. Switzerland has an appropriate level of data protection. This was determined by the EU Commission by means of an adequacy decision (pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR).
