Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, where you have given your consent;

Where information is stored on your device or accessed from it, this is done only in accordance with Section 25 TDDDG. For technically non-essential cookies and comparable technologies, we obtain your consent.
5. Hosting and Server Log Files
Our website is operated by an external hosting service provider.
When you access our website, information is automatically collected by the server and stored in so-called server log files. This may include in particular:
IP address of the accessing device;
date and time of access;
page or file accessed;
amount of data transferred;
browser type and browser version;

This data is processed for technical provision, system security, error analysis, and prevention of misuse. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure and uninterrupted provision of our website.
Server log files are stored only for as long as necessary for the purposes stated above and are then deleted or anonymized, unless statutory retention obligations prevent this.
6. SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar begins with “https://” and a lock symbol is displayed.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data that you transmit to us generally cannot be read by third parties.
7. Cookies and Comparable Technologies
Our website uses cookies and comparable technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function properly. Other cookies and technologies are used for analysis, statistics, optimization, or integration of external services.
Technically necessary cookies are used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Section 25(2) TDDDG. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free and user-friendly provision of the website.
Non-essential cookies and comparable technologies, particularly for analysis and marketing purposes, are used only on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
8. Cookie Consent Management
We use a consent management system on our website to obtain, document, and manage your consent for certain services and technologies.
The following information may be processed:
your consent decision;
date and time of consent;
selected categories or services;
technical information about the browser and device used;
anonymized or shortened IP address, where technically necessary.
Processing is carried out to fulfill legal documentation obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the legally compliant documentation of consent.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings on this website.

The data is deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed and there are no statutory retention obligations.
10. Microsoft Clarity
We use the Microsoft Clarity service on our website. The provider is Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
Microsoft Clarity is used to analyze and improve the user-friendliness of our website. Clarity allows us to understand how visitors use our website, which areas are accessed particularly frequently, and where technical or content-related optimizations may be useful.
In particular, the following data may be processed:
shortened or pseudonymized IP address;

Microsoft Clarity is used only if you have given your prior consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG.
The data collected by Microsoft Clarity may be transferred to Microsoft servers and processed there. This may also involve transfer to the USA. Microsoft is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

11. Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows website tags to be managed and integrated centrally. Google Tag Manager itself generally does not create user profiles and does not carry out independent analyses. It is used to technically trigger or manage other services.
When Google Tag Manager is used, technical data may be processed, in particular information about which tags are triggered on the website. A connection to Google servers may also be established.
Google Tag Manager is used only in connection with our consent management system. Services requiring consent are activated only after your prior consent.
Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR where Google Tag Manager is used for the technical management of website services. Where services requiring consent are activated via Google Tag Manager, this is done exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.
The provider in the European region is Google Ireland Limited. Transfer to Google LLC in the USA cannot be ruled out. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
12. Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In particular, the following information may be processed:
page views;
time spent on the website;
click behavior;
approximate geographical origin;

operating system used;

According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses of users from the EU. Nevertheless, personal or pseudonymous data may be processed as part of its use.
Google Analytics is used exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie settings.
The data may be transferred to Google servers. This may also involve processing in the USA. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
13. Other Google Services
Other Google services may be used on our website if they are technically or functionally necessary or have been approved by you. These may include, in particular, services for display, analysis, security, fonts, or map integration.
Where Google services are not technically necessary, they are activated only after your prior consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(1) TDDDG.
Where Google services are technically necessary, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, functional, and user-friendly provision of our website.
14. Third-Country Transfers
In connection with the use of Microsoft Clarity, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and other Google services, personal data may be transferred to third countries, in particular to the USA.
Where providers are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, the data transfer may be based on the corresponding adequacy decision of the European Commission.
Where no such certification or other adequacy decision exists, data is transferred only if appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are in place, in particular EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or if you have expressly consented.
15. Storage Period
We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective processing purposes. Where statutory retention obligations exist, we store the relevant data for the duration of those obligations.
Data processed on the basis of your consent is generally stored only until you withdraw your consent or the purpose of processing no longer applies.

If we process personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
