1. General information

Our IT systems automatically collect personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, to what extent, how we collect this data, and for what purpose we do it.

Please note that the content of this privacy policy may change at any time. For example, if we make changes to the data processing we perform, we will promptly amend this privacy policy. If these changes require an action on your part or an individual notification, then we will inform you.

The website operator takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We always treat your personal data confidentially and respect legal data protection regulations. However, we point out that data transmission on the internet can have security gaps. Therefore, complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.‍

2. Web hosting

Webflow hosts this website. Webflow is a service provided by Webflow Inc., 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

In addition to hosting, Webflow provides us with technical infrastructures such as storage space, computing capacity, and databases, as well as security and maintenance services. Server log files collect technical and personal data that your browser automatically transmits to Webflow's servers each time you visit this website. These are:‍

  • anonymized IP address (internet protocol address)
  • browser type and browser version
  • browser language and browser time zone
  • installed browser plugins
  • operating system
  • installed fonts
  • screen resolution
  • HTTP header information
  • forwarding URL (referrer)
  • accessed URL
  • internet service provider
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • date and time of the server request
  • MIME types of the sent data
  • Silverlight data
  • HTTP status code

Webflow's servers store your anonymized IP address for 24 hours to prevent possible brute-force attacks. Webflow anonymizes by encrypting the IP address using a unique hashing algorithm. Webflow will never store a full IP address that makes you personally identifiable as a website visitor in server log files. Webflow only uses your IP address for technical analysis of access and error logs after prior anonymization by removing the last character block of your IP address.

A consolidation of the collected data with other data sources, as well as conclusions about the data subject, are not made. Instead, Webflow collects the data to monitor the volume of visitor traffic on the website and to ensure error-free provision of the website. Based on the volume monitoring of visitor traffic, Webflow controls the utilization of the website to avoid overloading the servers and to ensure its stability. In addition, Webflow determines the hosting fees for the website operator based on volume monitoring.

We use Webflow based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast, secure, and efficient provision of the website by a professional hosting provider.

To ensure the data protection-compliant processing of personal data, we have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Webflow based on Art. 28 GDPR.

To ensure the data protection-compliant transfer of personal data to the USA, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with Webflow based on Directive 95/46/EG.

3. Content delivery network (CDN)

This website uses the content delivery network (CDN) Amazon CloudFront. Amazon CloudFront is a service provided by Amazon Web Services Inc., 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109, USA.

We use Amazon CloudFront to deliver the static content of our website to the end devices of our website visitors faster, more securely, and more efficiently with the help of servers distributed worldwide and connected via the internet. In addition, we achieve greater resilience and protection against data loss by using Amazon CloudFront.

When you visit the site, your browser automatically transmits the following data to Amazon CloudFront's servers:‍

  • IP address (internet protocol address)
  • user-agent
  • browser type and version
  • browser language and browser time zone
  • operating system
  • HTTP header information
  • forwarding URL (referrer)
  • accessed URL
  • internet service provider
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • date and time of the server request
  • total time of the server request
  • turnaround time of the server request
  • edge location of the server request
  • requested object of the server request
  • total size of the requested object
  • total number of bytes transferred
  • HTTP status code

The website operator has disabled server access logging for Amazon CloudFront. As a result, Amazon CloudFront will not store your access requests and IP address in server log files, will not combine collected data with other data sources, and will not make conclusions about the subject. Instead, Amazon CloudFront collects the data to monitor the volume of server access and ensure error-free delivery of static content. Based on the volume monitoring, Amazon CloudFront controls the server utilization to avoid overloading and ensure the servers' stability. In addition, Amazon CloudFront determines the usage fees for the website operator based on volume monitoring.

We use Amazon CloudFront based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator is interested in the fast, secure, and efficient delivery of static website content, higher fail-safety, and higher protection against data loss.

To ensure the data protection-compliant processing of personal data, we have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Amazon Web Services based on Art. 28 GDPR.

To ensure the data protection-compliant transfer of personal data to the USA, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with Amazon Web Services based on Directive 95/46/EG.
