Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally.
This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for.
It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities.
Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible body

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Currently at the address:

The foundation is entered in the register of foundations of the State of Brandenburg under number 322.

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this data protection notice, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies.
If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para.
1 lit.
a GDPR or Art. 9 para.
2 lit.
a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 para.
1 GDPR are processed.
In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para.
1 lit.
a GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 para.

Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this data protection notice.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law.
If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there.
We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries.
For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this.
It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes.
We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent.
You can withdraw your consent at any time.
The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS.
1 LIT.
E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.
THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.
IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time.
You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
You can contact us at any time to do this.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

– If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.

– If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

– If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

– If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para.
1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours.
As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Security

As the controller, we have taken technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR.
These include, in particular, measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data.
Furthermore, we have set up processes to ensure the rights of data subjects, the deletion of personal data and an immediate response to the compromise of such data.
In addition, we ensure the protection of personal data already during the development and selection of hardware and software in accordance with the principles of Art. 25 GDPR.
All of our employees and persons involved in data processing are obliged to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and other data protection laws and to handle personal data confidentially.

If personal data is collected and processed, the information is transmitted in encrypted form to prevent misuse of the data by third parties.
Our security measures are continuously revised in line with technological developments.

Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

Changes to our privacy policy

We reserve the right to change our security and data protection measures if this becomes necessary due to technical developments.
In such cases, we will also adapt our data protection information accordingly.
Please therefore note the latest version of our data protection information.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners).
Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations.

However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal.
In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored.
In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence.
If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals.
Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals.
For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
