• IP address of your device
• information about your browser (e.g. language, user agent, version)
• the website you were on just before you landed on our site
• the URL of requested file, title of the displayed page

We use this data,

• to send the requested content to your browser. We only save the complete IP address to the extent necessary to deliver the requested content to you;

We save the IP address of your terminal device after we have removed the last octet of the IP address, i.e. in anonymous form, for web audience measurement purposes, which enables us to improve our website. We remove the last octet of the IP address immediately after it is collected. For this reason, we do not collect any personal information about your use of our website.

The aforementioned data is stored temporarily and with limited access for a maximum period of 180 days. This period may be extended if and to the extent necessary for the prosecution of attacks and incidents.

The data is processed in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our website and the defense against and pursuit of illegal attacks. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) 1 Sentence 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

The data submitted via the contact form is stored in a database operated on our behalf by our hosting and database provider inside the European Union.

Please note that if you ask us to delete your personal data, we may not be able to answer and fulfil your request. Please also note that in some cases we may need to retain messages containing personal data in order to protect our rights.

The legal basis for the processing is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures at your request) and, where applicable, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and in protecting our rights).

3. Web analytics — Google Analytics 4

Subject to your prior consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our website so that we can improve it.

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to collect information such as the pages you visit, the time spent on those pages, referring URLs, approximate location (derived from a truncated IP address), device and browser characteristics. We have activated IP anonymisation, and we have disabled Google Signals and ad personalisation signals, so that data collected via our website is not used for advertising purposes.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of every page. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Information collected by Google Analytics may be transferred to and processed on servers operated by Google LLC in the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. In addition, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with Google as an additional safeguard for such transfers.

Data collected by Google Analytics for our property is retained for up to 14 months and then deleted automatically. For more information, please see Google’s privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Use of cookies and local storage

Our website uses so-called cookies and similar technologies such as browser local storage. Cookies are small text files stored on your device and read by your browser. They do not damage your device and do not contain viruses. Cookies help us make our website work, remember your choices, and — with your consent — measure how visitors use it.

The technologies used by us are:

• Strictly necessary — required for the website to function. This includes a local-storage entry (resycure-consent) that remembers your cookie choice, and, if you sign in, an authentication token issued by our backend provider.
• Analytics (consent-based) — set only after you click “Accept all” in the cookie banner: _ga and _ga_<container> from Google Analytics 4 (see section 3 above). If you reject or withdraw consent, these cookies are not set and any existing ones are cleared.

You can deactivate or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings. Please note that deactivating strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of our website from working correctly.

5. Transfer of your personal data

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties to the extent described in this privacy policy.

A transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned above will only take place in the following cases in individual cases:

• you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR;
• the disclosure is required under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you;
• there is a legal obligation under Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR to pass on the data or
• according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise of or defense against legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

6. Automated decision-making

The personal data collected and processed through this website is not subject to automated individual decision making by us.

7. Data transmitted to third countries

With the exception of the transfer to Google described in section 3, which takes place only with your consent, personal data is not transferred to third countries outside the European Union.

8. Obligation to provide personal data

There is no contractual or legal obligation to provide your personal data.

9. Your rights

You have certain rights under the GDPR:

• right to information: You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about the personal data stored about you, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing;
• right to correction: If your personal data is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to correct your personal data;
• right of deletion: this right is also known as “the right to be forgotten” and allows you to request the deletion or removal of your personal data if there is no compelling reason for us to continue using it. This is not a general right to deletion; there are exceptions. For example, we have the right to continue to use your personal data if such use is necessary to fulfil our legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
• right to limit our use of your information: the right to suspend the use of your personal information or to limit the ways in which we can use it. Please note that this right is limited in certain situations: when we process the personal data we have collected with your consent, you can only request a restriction in the following cases: (a) if the accuracy of your personal data is disputed; (b) if our processing is unlawful and you do not want your personal data to be deleted; (c) if you need the data for legal purposes; or (d) if you have objected to the processing and it is not yet clear whether your legitimate reasons outweigh our legitimate interests. If the processing is restricted, we may still store the data, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have requested a restriction on the use of their personal data to ensure that the restriction is respected;
• right to data portability: the right to require us to obtain your personal data in a structured, common and machine-readable format in order to transfer it to another controller without hindrance by us;
• right of objection: the right to object to the use of your personal data by us;
• right to withdraw consent: If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (but if you do so, this does not mean that everything we have done with your personal data with your consent up to that point is unlawful). Exercising these rights is free of charge for you, but you are obliged to provide proof of your identity.

To make enquiries or exercise any of your rights set out in this Privacy Policy and/or to make a complaint, please contact us by e-mail or letter and we will endeavor to respond within 30 days. Contact details can be found at the end of this Privacy Policy.
