2. Principles

This website is deliberately designed to be data-minimising. We use no cookies, no analytics or tracking tools and no social media plug-ins. Fonts and all other content are served from our own web space; no data is transferred to third parties such as Google when the pages are accessed. There is no contact form.

3. Hosting and server log files

The website is hosted by NetCologne Gesellschaft für Telekommunikation mbH, Am Coloneum 9, 50829 Cologne, Germany. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the provider.

When the website is accessed, the web server automatically processes information transmitted by your browser:

• IP address of the requesting device
• date and time of access
• page or file requested and volume of data transferred
• status code of the request (e.g. successful, not found)
• referrer URL (previously visited page), if transmitted
• browser type, browser version and operating system

This processing is technically necessary in order to deliver the website and to ensure stability and security. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and error-free operation of the website. The log files are deleted after 30 days at the latest, unless longer retention is required to investigate a specific security incident.

4. Contact by email or telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, we process the information you provide (e.g. name, email address, telephone number, content of your enquiry) in order to deal with your request. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures, otherwise Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in responding to enquiries).

We delete the data as soon as it is no longer required for processing, unless statutory retention obligations (in particular under commercial and tax law) apply.

5. Encryption

The website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by "https://" in the address bar of your browser.

• information about the data we hold about you (Art. 15 GDPR)
• rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR)
• erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
• restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
• data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
• object to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art. 21 GDPR)

To exercise these rights, simply contact us using the details above.

7. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia (Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen), Kavalleriestraße 2–4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany.

Automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR does not take place.
