Type of data processed

“Personal data” means all information referring to an identified or identifiable natural person, who may be recognised either directly or indirectly, in particular by means of correlation to an identifier, such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online user name or to one or more specific characteristics that are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.

Navigation data, data supplied voluntarily by users of /visitors to the website, and cookies and similar technologies are among the type of personal data that are processed.

  1. Navigation data
    The information systems and software procedures utilised by this Internet presence collect some personal data as part of their normal function, the transmission of which is necessary for technical reasons – using the Transmission Control Protocol – to surf the Internet at all. This is information that is not collected in order to identify the relevant user, although – by processing and assigning third party data – it would be possible in view of the nature of the data (e.g. IP address, domain name of the computer used to visit the site). These data are used solely to obtain anonymous, statistical information about visits to the site and to show whether it is functioning correctly. The data could be used, in the event of damage being caused deliberately to the site, to determine the initiator, and would be saved in this case. These data will not be forwarded or disseminated; if requested, they must be made available to the postal police, the court authorities and the judicial police. Navigation data may be used to determine liability in cases of IT offences to the disadvantage of the website.

  2. Voluntary nature of data provision
    The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of electronic mail and/or transmission of personal data entails the acquisition of the address and/or other possible personal data of the sender that is needed in order to respond or to perform the required service. A failure to provide this voluntary data could lead to the desired result not being achieved. This data can only be forwarded to third parties if it is required for the purpose of handling enquiries. The forwarding of data to third parties for marketing and profiling purposes is not permissible.
