Data protection
We have drafted this data protection declaration (Version 08.10.2019-321119956) to explain to you, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679, what information we collect, how we use data, and what options you have as a visitor to this website.
Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we have tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible in the preparation.
Storage of personal data
Personal data that you transmit to us electronically on this website, such as name, email address, address, or other personal information when submitting a form or commenting on the blog, will be used by us
together with the time and IP address only for the stated purpose, securely stored, and not passed on to third parties.
We only use your personal data for communication with those visitors who expressly request contact and for processing the services and products offered on this website. We do not pass on your personal data without your consent, but we cannot exclude the possibility that this data may be viewed in the event of unlawful behavior.
If you send us personal data by email – apart from this website – we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data unencrypted by email.
The legal basis for data processing in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 a DSGVO (lawfulness of processing) is that you give us consent to process the data you have entered. You can revoke this consent at any time – an informal email is sufficient. You can find our contact details in the imprint.
Rights according to the General Data Protection Regulation
According to the provisions of the GDPR, you have the following rights in principle:
Right to rectification (Article 16 GDPR)
Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Article 17 GDPR)
Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
Right to notification – obligation to notify in connection with the rectification or erasure of personal data or the restriction of processing (Article 19 GDPR)
Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
Right to object (Article 21 GDPR)
Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – (Article 22 GDPR)
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).
Evaluation of visitor behavior
In the following data protection declaration, we inform you whether and how we evaluate data of your visit to this website. The evaluation of the collected data is usually anonymous, and we cannot draw any conclusions about your person from your behavior on this website.
To learn more about how to object to the evaluation of visitor data, please see the following data protection declaration.

If you unsubscribe from the newsletter – you will find the link for this at the bottom of each newsletter – we will delete all data that was stored when you subscribed to the newsletter.
Google Fonts Local data protection declaration
We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website. We have included the Google fonts locally, i.e., on our web server – not on Google's servers. This means that there is no connection to Google's servers and therefore no data transfer or storage.
What are Google Fonts?
Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is an interactive directory of over 800 fonts that Google LLC provides for free use. With Google Fonts, you could use the fonts without uploading them to your own server. However, to prevent any information transfer to the Google server, we have downloaded the fonts to our server. In this way, we act in compliance with data protection regulations and do not send any data to Google Fonts.
Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unlimited access to all fonts. We can access an unlimited number of fonts and thus optimize our website. For more information about Google Fonts and other questions, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=321119956.
Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?
With Google Fonts, we can use fonts on our own website without having to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component to maintain the quality of our website. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web, which saves data volume and provides a significant advantage, especially for mobile devices. When you visit our site, the low file size ensures fast loading times. Furthermore, Google Fonts are considered secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in various browsers, operating systems, and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can distort texts or entire web pages visually. Thanks to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN), there are no cross-platform issues with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all popular browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod).
Therefore, we use Google Fonts to present our entire online service as beautifully and consistently as possible. According to Art. 6 para. 1 f lit. F GDPR, this represents a "legitimate interest" in the processing of personal data. "Legitimate interest" in this case refers to legal, economic, or ideological interests recognized by the legal system.
Which data is stored by Google?
When you visit our website, the fonts are loaded from a Google server. This external call transmits data to the Google servers. Therefore, Google also recognizes that you or your IP address have visited our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to minimize the collection, storage, and use of end-user data to what is necessary for the efficient delivery of fonts. API stands for "Application Programming Interface" and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software field.
Google Fonts securely stores CSS and font requests with Google and is thus protected. Through the collected usage statistics, Google can determine the popularity of the fonts. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages, such as Google Analytics. Additionally, Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database. BigQuery is a Google web service for companies that need to handle and analyze large amounts of data.
However, it should be noted that with each Google Fonts request, information such as IP address, language settings, browser screen resolution, browser version, and browser name is automatically transmitted to the Google servers. It is not clear whether this data is also stored, as Google does not explicitly communicate this.
How long and where are the data stored?
Google stores requests for CSS assets on their servers for one day, primarily located outside the EU. This allows us to use the fonts through a Google stylesheet. A stylesheet is a template that allows for easy and quick changes to the design or font of a website, for example.
The font files are stored by Google for one year. This is part of Google's efforts to improve the loading time of web pages. When millions of websites refer to the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and will immediately appear on all other websites visited later. Occasionally, Google updates font files to reduce file size, increase language coverage, and improve design.
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
The data that Google stores for one day or one year cannot be easily deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. To delete this data prematurely, you need to contact Google Support at https://support.google.com/?hl=en&tid=321119956. In this case, you can only prevent data storage by not visiting our website.
Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unrestricted access to all the fonts. Therefore, we can have unlimited access to a variety of fonts and optimize them for our website. For more information about Google Fonts and other questions, you can visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=321119956. While Google addresses privacy-related issues there, detailed information about data storage is not included. It is relatively difficult (almost impossible) to obtain precise information about stored data from Google.
You can also read about what data is generally collected by Google and how it is used at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Google Maps Privacy Policy
We use Google Maps from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website. With Google Maps, we can visually display locations and improve our service. By using Google Maps, data is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. In the following, we will explain in more detail what Google Maps is, why we use this Google service, what data is stored, and how you can prevent this.
What is Google Maps?
Google Maps is an online mapping service provided by Google Inc. With Google Maps, you can search for precise locations of cities, landmarks, accommodations, or businesses on the Internet, either via a PC or through an app. When businesses are represented on Google My Business, additional information about the company is displayed in addition to the location. To display driving directions, map sections of a location can be embedded into a website using HTML code. Google Maps displays the Earth's surface as a street map or as aerial or satellite images. Thanks to Street View images and high-quality satellite images, very accurate representations are possible.
Why do we use Google Maps on our website?
All our efforts on this site aim to provide you with a useful and meaningful experience. By integrating Google Maps, we can provide you with essential information about various locations. Thanks to Google Maps, you can easily see where our company is located. The directions feature always shows you the best or fastest way to reach us. You can obtain directions for routes by car, public transportation, walking, or biking. Providing Google Maps is part of our customer service.
What data is stored by Google Maps?
In order to fully provide its service, Google Maps needs to collect and store data from you. This includes the entered search terms, your IP address, and latitude/longitude coordinates. If you use the route planning feature, the entered starting address is also stored. However, this data storage occurs on the Google Maps web pages. We can only inform you about it but have no control over it. Since we have integrated Google Maps into our website, Google sets at least one cookie (Name: NID) in your browser. This cookie stores data about your user behavior. Google primarily uses this data to optimize its own services and provide personalized advertising.
The following cookie is set in your browser due to the integration of Google Maps:
- Name: NID
- Expiration: after 6 months
- Usage: NID is used by Google to customize advertisements to your Google searches. With the help of the cookie, Google "remembers" your most frequently entered search queries or your previous interaction with ads. This way, you always receive tailored advertisements. The cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to collect the user's personal settings for advertising purposes.
- Example value: 188=h26c1Ktha7fCQTx8rXgLyATyITJ321119956
Note: We cannot guarantee the completeness of the information regarding the stored data. Changes are possible, especially when it comes to the use of cookies by Google. A separate test page was created to identify the NID cookie, where only Google Maps was integrated.
How long and where are the data stored?
Google's servers are located in data centers worldwide, with most servers being in America. As a result, your data is predominantly stored in the United States. You can read exactly where Google's data centers are located at: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de
Google distributes the data across various data carriers. This allows for faster access to the data and provides better protection against potential manipulation attempts. Each data center also has specific emergency programs in place. For example, if there are issues with Google's hardware or a natural disaster affects the servers, the data is likely to remain protected.
Google stores some data for a predetermined period of time. For other data, Google only offers the option to delete it manually. Additionally, the company anonymizes certain information (such as advertising data) in server logs by deleting a portion of the IP address and cookie information after 9 or 18 months.
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
With the automatic deletion function introduced in 2019 for location and activity data, information related to location tracking and web/app activity is stored for either 3 or 18 months, depending on your choice, and then deleted. Additionally, you can manually delete this data from your Google account's history. If you want to completely prevent location tracking, you need to pause the "Web & App Activity" section in your Google account. Go to "Data & Personalization" and then select the "Activity Controls" option. Here, you can toggle the activities on or off.
In your browser, you can also disable, delete, or manage individual cookies. The process may vary depending on the browser you are using. The following instructions explain how to manage cookies in different browsers:
- Chrome: Clear, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome.
- Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari.
- Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer.
- Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies.
If you generally don't want cookies, you can configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is about to be set. This way, you can decide whether to allow each cookie or not.
Google actively participates in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the secure and correct transfer of personal data. For more information, you can visit https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG. To learn more about Google's data processing, it is recommended to review their privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Embedded social media elements privacy policy:
We include elements from social media services on our website to display images, videos, and text. When you visit pages containing these elements, data is transferred from your browser to the respective social media service and stored there. We do not have access to this data. The following links will take you to the pages of the respective social media services where you can learn about how they handle your data:
- Instagram Privacy Policy: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875
- YouTube's privacy policy is covered by Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
- Facebook Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
- Twitter Privacy Policy: https://twitter.com/de/privacy
Facebook privacy policy:
We use features from Facebook, a social media network operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, on this website. You can read about the features (social plugins) provided by Facebook at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. By visiting our website, information may be transmitted to Facebook. If you have a Facebook account, Facebook can associate this data with your personal account. If you do not wish this to happen, please log out of your Facebook account. You can find Facebook's data policy, which describes the information Facebook collects and how they use it, at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
Instagram privacy policy:
We have embedded features from Instagram on our website. Instagram is a social media platform provided by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Since 2012, Instagram has been a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. and is part of the Facebook products. The embedding of Instagram content on our website is called embedding. This allows us to display content such as buttons, photos, or videos from Instagram directly on our website. When you visit web pages on our website that contain such Instagram functions, data is transmitted, stored, and processed by Instagram. Instagram uses the same systems
and technologies as Facebook. Consequently, your data may be processed across all Facebook companies.
We would like to provide you with a more detailed insight into why Instagram collects data, what data is involved, and how you can largely control the data processing. As Instagram is owned by Facebook Inc., we derive our information from both the Instagram policies and the Facebook data policies.
Instagram is one of the most popular social media networks worldwide. It combines the advantages of a blog with the advantages of audiovisual platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. You can upload photos and short videos to "Insta" (as many users casually call the platform), edit them with various filters, and share them on other social networks. If you don't want to be active yourself, you can simply follow other interesting users.
What is Instagram?
Instagram is one of the most well-known social media platforms worldwide. It combines the benefits of a blog with the advantages of audiovisual platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. On Instagram, often referred to as "Insta" by many users, you can upload photos and short videos, edit them with various filters, and share them on other social networks. If you prefer not to be active yourself, you can also follow interesting users.
Why do we use Instagram on our website?
Instagram is a social media platform that has skyrocketed in popularity in recent years. Naturally, we have responded to this boom as well. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible on our website. Therefore, it is essential for us to provide diverse content. Through embedded Instagram features, we can enrich our content with helpful, entertaining, or exciting content from the Instagram world. As Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook, the collected data can also be used for personalized advertising on Facebook. This way, our ads reach only people who are genuinely interested in our products or services.
Instagram also uses the collected data for measurement and analysis purposes. We receive aggregated statistics that provide us with more insights into your preferences and interests. It is important to note that these reports do not personally identify you.
What data does Instagram store?
When you encounter one of our pages that have Instagram features (such as Instagram images or plugins) integrated, your browser automatically connects to Instagram's servers. Data is sent to Instagram, stored, and processed, regardless of whether you have an Instagram account or not. This includes information about our website, your computer, purchases made, ads you see, and how you use our offer. Additionally, the date and time of your interaction with Instagram are also stored. If you have an Instagram account or are logged in, Instagram stores significantly more data about you.
Facebook distinguishes between customer data and event data. We assume that this is also the case with Instagram. Customer data includes information such as name, address, phone number, and IP address. It is important to mention that this customer data is only transmitted to Instagram after being "hashed." Hashing means transforming a data record into a string of characters, which allows encrypting the contact information. In addition, the aforementioned "event data" is also transmitted. Event data, as understood by Facebook and consequently by Instagram, refers to data about your user behavior. It is also possible for contact data to be combined with event data. The collected contact data is compared with the data that Instagram already has about you.
The collected data is transmitted to Facebook through small text files (cookies) that are usually set in your browser. Depending on the Instagram features used and whether you have an Instagram account yourself, different amounts of data are stored.
We assume that data processing works the same way on Instagram as it does on Facebook. This means that if you have an Instagram account or have visited www.instagram.com, Instagram has at least set a cookie. If that's the case, your browser sends information to Instagram via the cookie as soon as you come into contact with an Instagram feature. These data will be deleted or anonymized at the latest after 90 days (after reconciliation). Although we have thoroughly studied Instagram's data processing, we cannot say exactly which data Instagram collects and stores.
Below, we show you cookies that are set in your browser at a minimum when you click on an Instagram feature (such as a button or an Instagram image). In our test, we assume that you do not have an Instagram account. If you are logged into Instagram, significantly more cookies will be set in your browser.

Expiration: after the session ends
Note: We cannot claim completeness here. The cookies set in individual cases depend on the embedded features and your use of Instagram.
How long and where are the data stored?
Instagram shares the information it receives with Facebook companies, external partners, and individuals with whom you connect worldwide. Data processing is carried out in compliance with its own data policy. For security reasons, your data is distributed across Facebook servers worldwide. Most of these servers are located in the United States.
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
Thanks to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, portability, rectification, and erasure of your data. You can manage your data in the Instagram settings. If you want to completely delete your data on Instagram, you will need to permanently delete your Instagram account.
Here's how to delete your Instagram account:
First, open the Instagram app. On your profile page, scroll down and click on "Help Center." This will take you to the company's website. On the website, click on "Managing Your Account" and then on "Delete Your Account."
When you delete your account, Instagram will delete posts such as your photos and status updates. However, information shared by other people about you does not belong to your account and will not be deleted.
As mentioned above, Instagram primarily stores your data through cookies. You can manage, disable, or delete these cookies in your browser. The management process may vary slightly depending on your browser. Here, we provide instructions for the major browsers:
Chrome: Clear, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome
Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari
Firefox: Clear cookies to remove data stored by websites on your computer
Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies

This framework ensures the correct transfer of data between the United States and the European Union. You can learn more about it at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG. We have tried to provide you with the most important information about data processing by Instagram. You can delve deeper into Instagram's data policies at https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875.
YouTube Privacy Policy
We have embedded YouTube videos on our website to present interesting videos directly on our site. YouTube is a video portal that has been a subsidiary of Google LLC since 2006. The video portal is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page on our website that has an embedded YouTube video, your browser automatically connects to YouTube's servers. Various data is transferred (depending on the settings). Google is responsible for the entire data processing, and therefore, Google's privacy policy applies.
In the following, we will explain in more detail what data is processed, why we have embedded YouTube videos, and how you can manage or delete your data.
What is YouTube?
YouTube allows users to watch, rate, comment on, and upload videos for free. Over the years, YouTube has become one of the most important social media channels worldwide. To display videos on our website, YouTube provides a code snippet that we have embedded on our site.
Why do we use YouTube videos on our website?
YouTube is the video platform with the most visitors and the best content. We strive to provide you with the best possible user experience on our website, and interesting videos are an integral part of that. Through our embedded videos, we provide you with additional helpful content alongside our texts and images. Additionally, embedding videos helps our website be more easily found on the Google search engine. Even when we run Google Ads advertisements, Google can show these ads only to people interested in our offers, thanks to the collected data.
What data is stored by YouTube?
When you visit one of our pages that has an embedded YouTube video, YouTube sets at least one cookie that stores your IP address and our URL. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your interactions on our website with your profile using cookies. This includes data such as session duration, bounce rate, approximate location, technical information like browser type, screen resolution, or your internet service provider. Other data may include contact details, ratings, sharing content via social media, or adding to your favorites on YouTube.
If you are not logged into a Google or YouTube account, Google stores data with a unique identifier linked to your device, browser, or app. For example, your preferred language setting is retained. However, many interaction data cannot be stored because fewer cookies are set.
In the following list, we show cookies set in a browser test. We display cookies set both without a logged-in YouTube account and with a logged-in account. The list is not exhaustive as user data always depends on interactions on YouTube.
Name: YSC Purpose: This cookie registers a unique ID to store statistics of the videos viewed. Expiration: after the session ends Example value: b9-CV6ojI5Y
Name: PREF Purpose: This cookie also registers your unique ID. PREF provides Google with statistics on how you use YouTube videos on our website. Expiration: after 8 months Example value: f1=50000000
