Privacy policy
This English version is provided for information only. The legally binding version is the German Datenschutzerklärung.
This privacy policy informs you about how personal data is processed when using our websites. The abbreviation GDPR refers to the EU General Data Protection Regulation and concerns visitors from the EU (“persons from the EU”). The abbreviation FADP (Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection) concerns visitors from Switzerland (“persons from Switzerland”).
The controller for the purposes of data protection legislation and other provisions relating to data protection is:

Purpose
We will inform you of the purposes for which your data is processed. If consent is required to process personal data, we will ask for it. Where particularly sensitive personal data (such as personality profiles) is concerned, we use explicit consent (double opt-in).
Your rights
Under Art. 8 FADP / Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us, and to receive information about such data and the further details listed in those provisions.
You also have the right to rectification (Art. 5 FADP / Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR / corresponding FADP provisions), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) and to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR), under the conditions set out in those provisions. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the address above.
Right to lodge a complaint
Persons from the EU have the right under Art. 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Persons from Switzerland can use the remedies provided by Art. 15 / 25 / 27 / 29 FADP.
Server log files
When you visit our website, the company we have commissioned to operate it processes and stores technical information about the device you are using (operating system, screen resolution and other non-personal characteristics), the browser (version, language settings), and in particular the public IP address of the device with which you are visiting our website, together with the date and time of access. We generally do not know who is behind an IP address unless you communicate identifying information during your use of the website, or unless we obtain that information in the course of legal proceedings (for example following attacks on our website).
Our service provider uses the processed data in a non-personalised form for statistical purposes, so that we can understand which devices and settings are used to visit our website and optimise it accordingly. These statistics do not contain personal data. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving and economically operating our business (GDPR: Art. 6(1)(f)).
The IP address is also used so that you can technically access and use our website, and to detect and ward off attacks against our service provider or our website. Stored IP data is deleted (by anonymisation) once it is no longer needed to detect or defend against an attack.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies (local storage) to ensure the technical functioning of our website, to understand how visitors use it, and to store user preferences in your browser.
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by your browser when you visit our website. You can configure your browser to control which cookies are accepted; restricting cookies may mean that our website no longer functions correctly. You can also delete cookies at any time.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
• Technically required cookies that are essential for the use of our website’s features (e.g. recognising whether you are logged in).
• Functional cookies used to provide specific features you have chosen to use.
• Analytics cookies used to analyse user behaviour.
• Third-party cookies set by third parties whose features we embed on our website. They may also be used to analyse user behaviour.
Sharing data with third parties
We generally do not share personal data with third parties, especially not for advertising purposes. To operate this website or to provide products and services, we do work with third parties who may receive personal data. We select our service providers carefully — particularly with regard to data protection and data security — and take all measures required under data protection law to ensure lawful processing.
Updates to this privacy notice
We keep this privacy notice up to date. We therefore reserve the right to change it from time to time and to reflect changes in how your data is collected, processed or used. The current version of the privacy policy is always available at:
