Hosting Provider Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG

We host our website with our processor Mittwald, Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany.

For the purpose of providing and delivering the website, connection data is processed. Data is not stored beyond what is necessary for delivering and providing the website.

The legal basis for data processing is legitimate interest (unconditional technical necessity to provide and deliver the service “Website” explicitly requested by you) pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Connection data and other personal data are also processed within various other functions or services to operate the website. Details are provided within this privacy policy for each function or service.

Google Analytics

If you consent, we process your personal data with the service Google Analytics, Google LLC, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, as joint controllers for the purpose of error analysis and statistical evaluation of our website. The absence of consent does not affect the functionality of the website, but without statistical data, the further development of the website becomes more challenging. Data transfers to third countries are possible, including access by U.S. authorities. You can withdraw a previously granted consent by changing the privacy settings.

We allow the service to collect connection data, browser data, and data on accessed content, as well as to run analysis software and store data on your device. The service anonymizes the collected data immediately after collection and provides us with the anonymized data as statistics for evaluation. We use these statistics for troubleshooting and further development of our website. Data on your device is stored for up to two years.

We strive to collect only data relevant for analysis purposes.

By clicking the “Agree” button, you consent under Art. 49 Para. 1 GDPR that providers based in the U.S. may process your data. In such cases, it is possible that transmitted data may be processed by local authorities.

We use the Google Ads platform from Google LLC, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, occasionally to display advertisements.

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode do not personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads displayed in enhanced privacy mode are also not personalized. In enhanced privacy mode, no cookies are set, but so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which may include personal data and be used for recognition. Details about enhanced privacy mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

Activating a YouTube video may trigger additional data processing activities over which we have no control.
