Our provider: 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur. We trust in the reliability and the IT and data security of 1&1 IONOS SE. We have concluded a data processing agreement with 1&1 IONOS SE. You can find information on 1&1 IONOS SE's data protection policy here: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy/ Processing of personal data: If you only wish to "find out more" when visiting our website and you have not otherwise transmitted personal data to us, for technical reasons, the personal data that your browser transmits to our servers will be collected. This processing is based on our legitimate interest in promoting our organization and presenting our work and services. For this purpose, we process the data transmitted via technically necessary cookies. We only process personal data that is not strictly necessary for the operation of our website if you have given us your consent. You can do this via the cookie banner or below in the individual privacy settings. You can revoke your consent at any time. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the memory of your device, which you use to access the internet, and are associated with the browser you are using. To make the use of our website more effective and user-friendly, cookies are stored on your device when you visit our website, which also allows us to receive information (depending on the cookie). However, cookies cannot execute programs or transmit malware to your device. Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files and do not harm your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process (essential cookies), for providing certain functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring website traffic) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. As the website operator, I have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of my services. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. We will inform you separately about third-party cookies or cookies used for analytical purposes within the scope of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent. Server log files: The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically flawless presentation and optimization of its website – the server log files must be recorded for this purpose. Social media linking: Social media via graphic or text link: We also promote our presence on the social networks listed below on our website (www......). This is done by embedding a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents an automatic connection to the respective social network's server from being established when you visit a website that features a social media advertisement. Only by clicking on the graphic (which you do voluntarily) will you be redirected to the service of the respective social network. After you are redirected, the respective network will collect information about you. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA. This data initially includes your IP address, date, time, and the page visited. If you are logged into your user account on the respective network at the same time, the network operator may be able to associate the information collected about your specific visit with your personal account. If you interact via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information may be stored in your personal user account and potentially published. If you want to prevent the collected information from being directly associated with your user account, you must log out before clicking on the graphic. You can also configure your user account accordingly. Please refer to your user account settings on the respective network for instructions on how to configure this. The following social networks are integrated into our website via links: Instagram & Facebook. To promote our services and communicate with our prospective and current customers, we maintain a company presence on the Instagram and Facebook platforms. We are jointly responsible for these social media platforms with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Instagram's data protection officer can be contacted via a contact form: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970. We have regulated this joint responsibility in an agreement regarding our respective obligations under the GDPR. This agreement, which outlines the mutual obligations, can be accessed via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum. The legal basis for the processing of personal data described below is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, communication, sales, and promotion of our products and services. The legal basis may also be the user's consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR given to the platform operator. The user can withdraw this consent at any time for the future by notifying the platform operator, in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR. When you access our online presence on the two platforms Instagram and Facebook, Facebook Ireland Ltd., as the platform operator in the EU, processes your data (e.g., personal information, IP address, etc.). This user data is used to generate statistical information about the use of our company presence on Instagram. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes, as well as for creating user profiles. Based on these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can, for example, target users with interest-based advertising both on and off Instagram. If the user is logged into their Instagram account at the time of access, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can also link the data to the respective user account. If the user contacts Facebook Ireland Ltd. via Instagram, the personal data entered on that occasion will be used to process the request. The user's data will be deleted once the request has been fully answered and there are no legal retention obligations, such as those arising from subsequent contract processing. Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also use cookies to process the data. If the user does not agree to this processing, they can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting their browser settings accordingly. Cookies that have already been stored can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the specific browser. Flash cookies cannot be blocked via browser settings, but rather through the settings of the Flash Player. If users prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may result in some Facebook functions not being fully available. Further information on data processing activities, how to block them, and how to delete data processed by Instagram can be found in Instagram's Data Policy: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875. Further information on data processing activities, how to block them, and how to delete data processed by Facebook can be found in Facebook's Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), hostname of the accessing computer (IP address), and time of the server request, is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. IP address anonymization: The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We have also extended Google Analytics on this website with the code "anonymizeIP". This guarantees the masking of your IP address, so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website.

I/We, as website operators, have a legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our advertising.

I have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics. Embedded content from other websites: Articles on our website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services, and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. Beyond this, personal data such as your name, address, telephone number, or email address will not be collected unless you voluntarily and actively provide this information in the designated area (e.g., during newsletter registration, an information request via a contact form, through other specific form fields or registration/login forms on the respective website, etc.). This data will not be transmitted to third parties (not mentioned herein). When you contact us via contact form, email, letter, or telephone, the data you provide (name, address, telephone number, email address, IP address, and, if applicable, other case-specific data) will be stored in order to answer your questions, process your request, and establish further contact with you. The personal data processed in this context will be deleted if no contract (e.g., a rental agreement) is concluded between us, and as soon as storage is no longer necessary. Data processing will also be restricted to the legally required minimum if statutory retention periods apply. In the case of a contract (rental agreement), the data protection declaration included in the contract applies to data processing. Unless a contract is being prepared or concluded (e.g., in the case of club membership or related inquiries) or we have legitimate interests (e.g., informing members or prospective members about further offers), the legal basis for processing is the consent implicitly given during the initial contact. This consent can be revoked at any time using the contact details provided above (proof of identity required). Please note that further processing of your request will then no longer be possible. Providing and processing the requested data is always necessary for concluding a contract (e.g., a rental agreement). Your personal data will also be shared with service providers if necessary (e.g., if you have expressed interest in an event we offer but which is hosted externally). We will inform you separately beforehand. Newsletter: We offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our free newsletter via our website. You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Article 7 Paragraph 3 of the GDPR. To do so, simply inform us of your revocation or click the unsubscribe link (opt-out) included in every newsletter. If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you. To send you personalized information and news, we also collect and process your first and last name on a voluntary basis. In addition, your IP address and the date and time of your registration are stored. We use your email address, first and last name exclusively for sending our newsletter at regular intervals. By clicking the registration link (opt-in), you consent to the processing of your personal data by us as the data controller. This consent is limited to sending you an email newsletter based on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. To ensure that the newsletter is indeed sent with your explicit consent, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This involves adding the potential recipient to a mailing list. The user then receives a confirmation email, allowing them to legally confirm their subscription. Only after this confirmation is the address actively added to the mailing list. We use Mailchimp for sending our newsletter. Mailchimp is provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA (Mailchimp). This allows us to communicate directly with subscribers. Additionally, we analyze your usage behavior to optimize our services. For this purpose, we share the following personal data with Mailchimp: email address, first name, last name, and telephone number. Our emails contain a link that allows you to update your personal data. Mailchimp is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a data processor for us insofar as it concerns the distribution of our newsletter. The processing of the data specified in this section is neither legally nor contractually required. Without your consent and the transmission of your personal data, we cannot send you a newsletter. In addition, Mailchimp collects the following personal data using cookies and other tracking methods: information about your device (IP address, device information, operating system, browser ID, information about the application you use to read your emails, and other information about your hardware and internet connection). Furthermore, usage data is collected, such as the date and time you opened the email/campaign and browser activity (e.g., which emails/websites were opened). Mailchimp needs this data to ensure the security and reliability of its systems, compliance with the terms of service, and the prevention of misuse. This is in accordance with Mailchimp's legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and serves the purpose of contract fulfillment (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Mailchimp also analyzes performance data, such as email delivery statistics and other communication data. This information is used to create usage and performance statistics for the services. Mailchimp also collects information from Other sources about you. Personal data is collected via social media and other third-party data providers for an unspecified period and to an unspecified extent. I/We have no influence over this process. You can find further information on your rights to object to and have your data erased by Mailchimp at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/#3._Privacy_for_Contacts. The legal basis for this processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. A corresponding link can be found in all mailings. You can also withdraw your consent via our provided contact options. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the withdrawal. Your data will be processed as long as your consent is valid. Beyond that, it will be deleted after the termination of the contract between us and Mailchimp, unless legal requirements necessitate further storage. Mailchimp has implemented compliance measures for international data transfers. These apply to all Worldwide activities in which Stripe processes personal data of natural persons in the EU. These measures are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs). You can find more information at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/ Your rights to information, rectification, erasure & objection According to Article 13 (2) lit b) GDPR (https://www.dsb.gv.at/aufgaben-taetigkeiten/rechte-der-betroffenen.html), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) grants you the following rights with regard to your personal data: The right to information (Article 15 (3) – GDPR) about your personal data stored by us.

The right to object to processing (Art. 21 – GDPR) – Please contact us by email to exercise this right. The right to data portability (Art. 20 – GDPR). The right to erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten (Art. 17 – GDPR) – We will comply with this right unless there is a legal obligation to retain the data (e.g., invoices must be kept for 7 years). If no such obligation exists, we will delete your data upon request (after verification of your identity). To exercise your rights, please send us a written request by email or post. To fulfill your verification requirements, please also include a copy of an identification document. After receiving your email or postal notification, we will make the requested changes with effect for the future. The right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77 – GDPR) – If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have otherwise been infringed, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority.
