Privacy Policy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (for example name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

‍

1.   General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we process our users' personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data regularly takes place only with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by statutory provisions.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Data may also be stored beyond that point if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

‍

2. Rights of the data subject

If personal data relating to you is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
‍

1. Right of access
You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by it.
If such processing is taking place, you may request information from the controller about the following: You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

This right of access may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.
You may request information from the controller about the following:

   1. the purposes for which the personal data is processed;

   2. the categories of personal data which are processed

   3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you
   has been or is still being disclosed;

   4. the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored or, if     specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period; 

   5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a     right to restriction of processing by the controller or a
    right to object to such processing;

   6. the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;

   7. all available information about the origin of the data, where the personal data is     not collected from the data subject;

   8. the existence of automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 (1)
     and (4) GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic       involved as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for       the data subject.
‍

2. Right to rectification‍
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without delay.

Your right to rectification may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.
‍

3. Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions you may request the restriction of the processing of the personal data concerning you:

  1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  4. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where the processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted under the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
Your right to restriction of processing may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.
‍

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without delay if one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
  5. The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data concerning you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
    ‍

b) Information to third parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, it shall take reasonable measures, including of a technical nature, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested from them the erasure of all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data.
‍
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

  1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to under section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
  5. for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.


5. Right to be informed
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.
‍

6. Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you which you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.
    ‍

In exercising this right, you further have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you is transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.


7. Right to object
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - you have the option of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

You also have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR.

Your right to object may be restricted insofar as it is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.
‍

8. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the point of withdrawal.
‍

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller,
  2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
  3. is made with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) lit. a or b GDPR applies and suitable measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in 1. and 3., the controller shall take suitable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your own point of view and to contest the decision.
‍

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of the personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

‍

3. Provision of the website

Use of Google Fonts

  1. Scope of the processing of personal data
    The Google Fonts API is designed to limit the collection, storage and use of end-user data to what is necessary for the efficient provision of fonts. Use of the Google Fonts API is not authenticated and the Google Fonts API does not set or log cookies. Requests to the Google Fonts API are sent to resource-specific domains such as Fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com. For font requests, credentials are sent separately from google.com, which are sent to other but authenticated Google services such as Gmail.
    The Google Fonts API logs the details of the HTTP request including the timestamp, the requested URL and all HTTP headers (including referrer URL and user agent string) provided in connection with the use of the CSS API.
    IP addresses are not logged.
    Access to logged data is secure. Aggregated usage statistics serve to measure the popularity of font families and are published on the analytics page of Google Fonts.
    Further information on the data collected by Google and its use and protection can be found in Google's privacy policy.
  2. Purpose of the data processing
    The purpose of processing the data lies in specifically addressing a target group that has already expressed an initial interest through visiting the page and thus in the content and visual presentation of the page visited.
  3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
    The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is generally the user's consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Upon the user's consent via the cookie banner, the user expressly agrees to the display.
  4. Duration of storage
    No cookies are set. Only the fonts (1 year) and the associated CSS files (1 day) are stored on the user's device.
  5. Possibility of withdrawal and removal
    You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. If the user declines via the cookie banner, the fonts are not loaded. This may lead to considerable limitations of the visual presentation. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the point of withdrawal.
