4. General information on data protection
Data processing when visiting websites
When visiting a website, data is being collected automatically – also personal data. This is necessary from a technical standpoint to make your website visit possible in the first place and offer you the best results.
Every time you visit a website, retrieve an image from a server, load an external script or plugin or stream a video, or use any other transmission possibility, your device transmits data to the server, from which you retrieve information. When opening a website, your browser (e.g. Firefox, Internet Explorer, Edge, Opera, Safari) automatically sends certain information from your system. These information are, e.g.:
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address of website or file retrieved
• Status of website access (data transmitted, error code)
• Amount of data transmitted
• Keyboard layout (language)
• Screen resolution
• Name of website or file retrieved
The following data are being logged by every server. This is done for
• Adherence and review of IT-Security (e.g. identification of hacker attacks) and IT-Operation
• Statistical Evaluation (on use of website)
• Website Improvement
• Providing a modified version of the website or files, for optimized display on your device
Security Protocols do not work with pseudonymisation and anonymisation, as this would not allow any conclusions as to who potential attackers could be. Generally, the evaluation of data, is anonymised and no profiling takes place. More information can be found further below.
Affected Person
The „affected person“ is the person, whose personal information is gathered and processed. In the following, the affected person will also be called „website visitor“ or „user“.
Information on rights of affected persons
Any affected person can assert their rights vis-à-vis the responsible party. This can be done via e-mail, mail, or a specific form, provided for that matter. Requests by phone are possible too. However, they will only be accepted via phone, but responded via postal mail or e-mail, or other means. Such requests concerning affected persons‘ rights, are free of charge. If the right to such requests is exerted excessively, fees can be raised. Answers to these requests will be sent within the mandatory period of one month. This period can be extended in exceptional cases (e.g. high number of requests or high complexity of requests). The extension of this response period must be justified however. In the following, the affected rights are listed. You can find a link with more detailed explanations (from HUBIT-Datenschutz) by clicking on the terms.
• Right to information
• Right to correction
• Right to deletion
• Limitation of data processing
• Right to data portability

The affected person must authenticate himself / herself vis-à-vis the responsible company to prove that he / she is entitled to exert his / her rights.

We use statistical tools on our website. These tools offer the opportunity to analyze the use of our website and to improve its functioning.
Google-Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service, provided by Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet use for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

The processing of personal data allows us to analyze the way you use our website. This gives us insights on the frequency of use of different pages and components of our website and allows us to improve the website and its usibility. These reasons explain our interest in data processing (see the legeal basis). By anonymising the IP address of users we take the users‘ interest in the protection of his / her personal data into account.
