You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

¶Information, rectification and erasure

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

¶Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

¶5. analysis tools

¶Pirsch - Emvi Software GmbH

We use web analysis methods to obtain information about the use of our website. This enables us to better understand the behaviour and interests of our visitors and optimise our offers accordingly. For web analytics, we use the in-house technologies of Pirsch Analytics.

We use Pirsch Analytics for web analytics. Pirsch Analytics is a cookie-free web analytics software developed according to the principle of privacy by design. To analyse visitor flows, Pirsch Analytics uses a hash algorithm to generate a 16-digit number as a visitor ID when a page is requested. The IP address, the user agent, the date and a salt are used as input values.

The visitor’s IP address is neither fully nor partially retained and is completely and irrevocably anonymised by the hash. The integration of the date and the use of a salt per website ensures that website visitors are not recognised for longer than 24 hours and cannot be tracked across multiple websites. Rough localisation (country/city) is carried out via a locally integrated database.
