We are pleased that you are visiting our websites and are interested in our services. The protection of your personal data is of great importance to us. In this Privacy Policy, we inform you about how we collect your personal data, for what purposes and on what legal basis we process it, as well as your related rights and claims.
An external service provider (hosting provider) is responsible for the technical operation of our website. Personal data may be stored on the hosting provider’s servers, including:
The use of a hosting provider serves the purpose of ensuring a fast, secure, and efficient provision of our website by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) has been concluded with the hosting provider to ensure GDPR-compliant processing of personal data.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries submitted through our contact form, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption.
You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser address changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock icon appears in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary for the respective processing purpose. If no specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your data will remain with us until the purpose for processing ceases to apply.
If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless there are other legally permissible reasons for retention (e.g., tax or commercial retention obligations). In such cases, deletion will take place once those reasons no longer apply.
Data collected for the provision of the website is deleted after the end of the respective session. Log files are deleted no later than 30 days after collection. However, we reserve the right to review server log files retrospectively if there is a concrete suspicion of unlawful use. In exceptional cases, longer retention may be necessary. In such cases, IP addresses are deleted or anonymized so that assignment to a specific client is no longer possible.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of log files are technically necessary. If you object to such processing, certain website functions may no longer be available.
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The controller will no longer process your personal data unless compelling legitimate grounds for the processing can be demonstrated that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The collection of data for website provision and the storage of log files are essential for the operation of the website.
Under Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request information about the personal data we process concerning you.
Under Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data. If your data is incomplete, you may request its completion.
Under Art. 17 GDPR, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data.
Under Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. In such cases, the data may only be processed, for example, with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If you have exercised your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, the controller must notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You also have the right to be informed about those recipients.
The right to data portability does not apply where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
In all other cases, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, where technically feasible.
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice requirements for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited.
The website operator reserves the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
Our website uses cookies. These include both technically necessary cookies and, subject to your explicit consent, optional cookies for external content.
Technically necessary cookies are required for the proper operation of the website. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and management of your cookie settings. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.
Technically necessary cookies do not store information that can be used to identify you personally. They are generally only set in response to actions made by you that amount to a service request (e.g., saving your privacy settings). No consent is required for the use of these cookies.
We use the consent management tool provided by Borlabs GmbH to manage cookies and your consents. Borlabs Cookie stores your choices in a technically necessary cookie to respect your preferences during future visits.
In addition, we integrate external content exclusively after obtaining your explicit consent. This includes, in particular, the stock market ticker provided by TradingView Inc.. When this external content is loaded, personal data (e.g., IP address and device/browser information) may be transmitted to TradingView servers. TradingView may also use cookies or similar technologies.
External content is only loaded after you have granted consent via the cookie banner.
Legal basis for technically necessary cookies:
Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR and Section 25(2) TTDSG
Legal basis for optional cookies and external content:
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we store the information provided, including your contact details, for the purpose of processing your request and any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
Processing is based either on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), or on our legitimate interest in efficiently handling inquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The data entered into the contact form will remain stored until you request its deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry and all resulting personal data (e.g., name, inquiry details) will be stored and processed for handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.
Where contact is made in connection with a contract or intended contract, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Otherwise, processing is based either on our legitimate interest in handling inquiries efficiently (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), where obtained.
The data you provide will remain stored until you request deletion, revoke consent, or the purpose for storage ceases to apply. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
This website uses the analytics tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, ARENCO Tower, 27th Floor, Dubai Media City, Dubai, 23816, UAE.
WP Statistics analyzes website usage. Among other things, log files are collected, including referral source, browser type, user origin, and search engine used. Visitor actions on our website (e.g., clicks and page views) are also recorded.
Visitors’ IP addresses are processed in a privacy-friendly manner immediately after collection. The last segment of the IP address is masked, preventing complete storage. In addition, IP addresses are converted into a non-reversible unique string, preventing direct identification.
All data collected by WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server. No data is transferred to WordPress or other third parties.
The use of this tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize our website and marketing activities. Where consent has been provided (e.g., for storing cookies), processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
This website uses iThemes Security, a tool provided by iThemes Media LLC, 1720 South Kelly Avenue, Edmond, OK 73013, USA.
iThemes Security protects our website against unauthorized access and malicious cyberattacks. For this purpose, your IP address, the time and source of login attempts, and log data (e.g., browser information) may be collected.
The use of iThemes Security may involve the transfer of personal data to the United States. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission are in place as an appropriate safeguard under Art. 46 GDPR.
Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our legitimate interest in protecting our website against attacks. Where consent has been provided, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Access to our digital media portal is granted exclusively through a personalized account, which is provided by us via email following an individual review. Self-registration is not possible.
For the provision and administration of your access, we process the following personal data:
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of the user agreement).
To protect our portal, we use the iThemes Security extension, which prevents attacks and unauthorized access. In this context, IP addresses, login attempts, and other security-related information may be logged.
This data is used exclusively for securing the portal and is not processed for any other purpose.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in securing our portal). Further information can be found under "Plugins and Tools."
For statistical evaluations of portal usage, we use the WP Statistics plugin. Only anonymized data is processed, making it impossible to identify individual users.
Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in analyzing and optimizing our services). Further information can be found under "Analytics Tools."
Your access credentials are stored for as long as you have access to the portal. Statistical data is stored permanently in anonymized form. Data collected as part of security measures is regularly deleted in accordance with the settings of iThemes Security.
