The accessed website
The website from which the user accessed the accessed website (referrer)

We process your data using the analysis software Matomo for the purpose of evaluating the use of individual components and contents of our website based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. You give your consent by adjusting the use of cookies (cookie banner/consent manager), through which you can also revoke your consent with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7(3) GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not give us your consent, you can still visit our website without any restrictions, but not all functions may be fully available.

Google Web Fonts
Type and Scope of Data Processing
We use Google Fonts from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as a service for providing fonts for our online offering. To obtain these fonts, you establish a connection to servers of Google Ireland Limited, whereby your IP address is transmitted.
Purpose and Legal Basis
The use of Google Fonts is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG.
We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, particularly the United States. In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission (e.g., in the United States), we have agreed on other appropriate safeguards with the data recipients within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. These are, unless otherwise stated, the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. You can view a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914.
In addition, we obtain your consent in accordance with Art. 49(1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR before such a transfer to a third country. You give this consent via the consent in the consent manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that in the case of transfers to third countries, there may be unknown risks in detail (e.g., data processing by security authorities of the third country, the exact scope and consequences of which we do not know, over which we have no influence, and of which you may not become aware).
Storage Period
The specific storage period of the processed data is not influenced by us but determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google Fonts: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Newsletter
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the dispatch of the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the revocation.
We use the GDPR-compliant service Buttondown.email to operate the newsletter. In addition to this privacy policy, the privacy policy of buttondown.email applies.
We record when a newsletter we send is opened.
The data you stored with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers or the newsletter service provider after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
