a) Visiting the website
When you visit our website, information about your access is automatically transmitted to our website’s server. The data is processed by our website operator IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur. This information is temporarily stored in a log file on our website’s server. Until the automatic deletion, the following information will be recorded and stored without your further participation:
- IP address of the requesting device,
- Date and time of access,
- Name and URL of the accessed website,
- Website from which access is made (referrer URL),
- Amount of data sent in bytes,
- browser used and the operating system of the device
- Name of your access provider
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:
- Ensuring a user-friendly use of our website,
- Ensuring that the website is established in a functioning manner,
- Evaluation of system security and stability
- Other administrative purposes
The processing is expressly not carried out for the purpose of drawing conclusions about the identity of the visitor to the website. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.
b) Using the contact form or the e-mail addresses provided for contact purposes
You can contact us via the contact form provided on our website and via the e-mail addresses mentioned there. To do this, you must provide us with your first and last name and a valid e-mail address so that we can respond to your contact request. You can provide further information voluntarily.
The processing of the data collected for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR based on your voluntarily given consent.
Your data will also be treated confidentially in connection with the contact and will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
The personal data provided by your contact via form or by e-mail will be automatically deleted as soon as the contact request has been completed and there are no reasons for further storage (e.g. subsequent mandate for our law firm).
c) Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are created by your browser and stored on the device you are using. Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used.
Some of the cookies used are so-called session cookies, which are deleted again when you close your browser or end the session. The purpose of using these cookies is to enable the use of our website in the first place and to make it more convenient for you.
Other cookies used are so-called persistent cookies, which are used for repeat visits and remain on your end device for a predefined period of time. These enable us or third-party providers to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website. These cookies are used to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our online presence in order to offer you an improved user experience. These cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.
If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values to an individual extent.
The data processed by technically necessary cookies are necessary for the purposes mentioned to safeguard our legitimate interests in the proper operation of the website and to provide basic functionalities in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Cookies that are not technically necessary for the function of the website are only set after you have given your consent via the cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can check the cookies currently used (both technically necessary and non-technically necessary cookies) and the associated details in our cookie banner on the website. You can change the cookie settings there at any time and subsequently revoke the consent you have given.
You can also use the settings of the browser you are using to delete cookies that have already been saved on your device. If you wish to prevent the use of cookies in general, you can refuse to accept cookies in your browser or only accept certain cookies. The necessary settings can be found in the instructions and support information for your respective browser.
d) Borlabs Cookie
This website uses Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie (“borlabs-cookie”) to store your cookie consent.
Borlabs Cookie does not process any personal data. The cookie “borlabs-cookie” stores the consent you gave when you entered the website. If you wish to revoke this consent, simply delete the cookie in your browser. When you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked for your cookie consent again.
e) Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’).
Google Analytics uses cookies on your end device, which make it possible to analyse your use of our website. Google uses the cookies stored on your device to collect device-specific information to uniquely identify your browser (browser type/version, operating system used, IP address) and information about when, how long and how often you visited our websites and how you interacted with our websites.
The data collected using cookies is generally transferred to Google servers in the USA and stored there. The IP anonymisation setting ‘_anonymizeIp()’ is activated on our websites, so that the IP address of Google users is generally shortened within member states of the European Union (EU) or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We would therefore like to point out that data processing in the context of Google Analytics may also take place outside the scope of application of EU law.
The use of Google Analytics by us or by Google on our behalf serves the purpose of evaluating the use of our website for needs-based design and continuous optimisation. On our behalf, Google uses the data collected via Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Based on the statistics transmitted to us by Google, we can improve our website and make it more interesting for you as a user. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics is only used if you have given us your consent to its use via our cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent to the use of Google Analytics at any time by deactivating the use of Google Analytics in the cookie banner provided on the website.
4. Transfer of data
Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. However, for the hosting and maintenance of the website, we are dependent on external service providers, whom we oblige to comply with the data protection regulations through order processing.
We will only share your personal data with third parties if:
- you have given us explicit consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
- a transfer is legally permissible and is necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR,
- in the event that we are legally obliged to disclose the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, or
- a disclosure in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, in particular for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.
5. Links to LinkedIn
We link to our social media presence in LinkedIn on our website. The links do not establish a direct connection (plug-ins) between your browser and the server of the social media network LinkedIn. A connection of your browser to the server specified in the link is only established by clicking on the link. The responsibility for data protection-compliant operation must be guaranteed by the provider of the social media network and its information on data protection applies.
The LinkedIn social media network is operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the United States.
