5. Security Measures (SSL/TLS Encryption)

An encrypted connection is indicated by “https://” in your browser’s address bar and/or a lock icon in the browser bar. Data transmitted via this Website cannot be accessed by unauthorized third parties while in transit.

6. Hosting and Server Log Files

6.1 Hosting on Google Cloud VM

Our Website is hosted on Google Cloud Virtual Machine (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Data may be transferred to servers outside your country of residence. We take measures to ensure an adequate level of data protection (e.g., standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms, where applicable).

The hosting provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us. These server log files may include:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing device
  • Date and time of the server request
  • IP address

These data are collected for technical reasons, to ensure the Website’s stability, security, and proper operation. We do not merge these data with other data sources. The basis for processing this information (where GDPR applies) is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests in maintaining a secure and functional Website).

7. Registration on the Website

If our Website allows user registration for certain features or services:

  • Data you provide during registration are used exclusively for the purpose of offering or providing the respective service or content.
  • Mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full; otherwise, we may deny registration.
  • In the event of substantial changes (e.g., technical updates), we may inform you using the email address you provided upon registration.
  • Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, if applicable). You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, without affecting data processed prior to withdrawal.
  • We store data collected during registration as long as you remain registered on our Website, unless there are legal retention requirements that demand longer storage.

8. Contact Form

When you submit inquiries through our contact form (if provided), we store the information you provide, including contact details, to handle your inquiry and any follow-up questions. We do not share this data with third parties without your consent.

  • The processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, if applicable). You can withdraw consent at any time (e.g., via email).
  • Data remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw consent, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (subject to statutory retention obligations).

9. Cookies

9.1 General Information

We use cookies—small text files placed on your device by your web browser—to enhance user experience, security, and efficiency. Some cookies are “session cookies,” which are deleted automatically after you close your browser. Other cookies persist until manually deleted or automatically expired.

9.2 Managing Cookies

Modern browsers allow you to monitor, limit, or block cookies. Many browsers can be configured to delete cookies automatically upon closing. Disabling cookies may limit some functionalities of our Website.

9.3 Legal Basis

Where GDPR applies, cookies necessary for electronic communications or certain functions (e.g., shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in providing a secure, user-friendly service). If other cookies (e.g., for analytics) are set, they are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

10. Google Analytics

10.1 Overview

Our Website may use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze Website usage. The information generated by these cookies is generally transmitted to and stored on Google servers, which may be located in the USA.

10.2 Legal Basis

If GDPR applies, the setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR—our legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our offerings and advertising.

10.3 IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization. Within member states of the EU or EEA, Google truncates your IP address before transmission to the USA. In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google processes this information on our behalf to evaluate usage, compile reports on Website activity, and provide related services. Google will not merge your IP address with other data they hold.

10.4 Opt-Out

  • Browser Plugin: You can prevent cookie storage and data processing by downloading and installing a browser plugin (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
  • Opt-Out Cookie: You may also set an opt-out cookie that prevents future data collection when visiting our site (if we provide an appropriate link).

For more details, please see Google’s Privacy Policy.

11. Google AdSense & Conversion Tracking

We may use Google AdSense to display contextual or personalized ads. AdSense uses cookies to tailor ads based on users’ browsing habits. Similarly, we may use Google Ads (AdWords) and its conversion tracking to measure ad performance. When you click on a Google ad, a conversion cookie is placed on your device. This cookie expires after a set period (e.g., 30 days) and is not used to personally identify you. If the cookie is still valid and you visit certain pages on our Website, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our site.

If you prefer not to be tracked, you can adjust your browser settings to block cookies or opt out via your Google account’s ad preferences. For more info, see Google’s Privacy Policy.

12. Newsletter Subscription

12.1 General Information

If we offer a newsletter, you can subscribe by providing an email address, and, if required by law, confirming via a double opt-in. The data collected are used solely for sending the newsletter, which may contain updates, promotions, or other relevant information.

12.2 Third-Party Newsletter Providers

We may use third-party services (e.g., Mailchimp, Rapidmail) for newsletter distribution. These providers are prohibited from using your data for any purpose beyond sending the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time (e.g., via the “unsubscribe” link).

12.3 Legal Basis

Where GDPR applies, data processing for the newsletter is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent). You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

13. Affiliate Marketing

Our Website participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means that if you click on an affiliate link or banner and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. We do not have control over or responsibility for the privacy practices of these affiliates. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party website you visit through affiliate links.

14. Embedded Content (e.g., YouTube, Social Media Plugins)

We may embed content from YouTube, social media platforms, or other external sources. When you access a page with embedded content, a direct connection to these services’ servers may be established, thereby enabling the third-party provider to track your IP address and potentially other data. If you are logged in to your account with these providers, they may link your browsing activity to your profile. For more details, review the respective providers’ privacy policies.

15. Retention Period

We store your personal data only as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as long as we are legally required to do so (e.g., by tax, contract, or other laws). Once the purpose of storage no longer applies or any retention period expires, we will erase or anonymize your data in accordance with applicable law.

16. Automated Decision-Making/Profiling

Unless expressly stated, we do not use any automated decision-making or profiling (as defined by GDPR Art. 22) that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.
