The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to my privacy policy below this text.
Data collection on my website
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the legal notice on this website.
How is your data collected?
Your data is collected when you provide it to me. This may be data that you enter in a contact form, for example.
Other data is collected automatically by the IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter my website.

Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Analysis tools and third-party tools
When you visit my website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with cookies and so-called analysis programmes. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you.
You can object to this analysis. I will inform you about the options for objection in this privacy policy.
2. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. I treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data I collect and what I use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
I would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information about the responsible body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Susanne Dilg
Leegmoor 4
22417 Hamburg
The responsible body is the natural or legal person who decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send me an informal email. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which my company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that I 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 common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
Information, blocking, deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact me at any time at the address given in the imprint if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operator of the pages expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.
3. Data collection on my website
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send me enquiries via the contact form, your details from the form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by me for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. I will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send me an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact or order form will remain with me until you request me to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
3.a. Google Maps
We use Google Maps on this website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function.
When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in No. 2. a) of this declaration is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
3.b. Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’. This means that IP addresses are shortened before being processed, thus ruling out the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you is personal, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Third-party information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. Terms of use: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, and the privacy policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
3.c. Website analysis with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, after obtaining the user's consent. The responsible authorities are Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, for users from the EU/EEA and Switzerland. Google Analytics 4 practises IP anonymisation by default, i.e. your IP address is truncated immediately when you interact with this website. Only in rare cases will your full IP address be transferred to a Google server based in the USA and truncated there. Google asserts that the IP address transmitted via Google Analytics is never combined with other Google data. Google Analytics 4 is only activated with your consent via the cookie banner and can be revoked at any time via the cookie settings.
The data processed includes: usage data such as page views, website interaction, general location and visit duration; and communication data such as truncated IP addresses, user agent, language settings and screen resolution. The purpose of this data processing is for Google to evaluate the use of your website on your behalf, compile reports on the activities and analyse the performance of the website. This data processing is legal, based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) (1) TDDDG.
Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC and Alphabet Inc are the recipients of this data. Your website usage information is usually sent to a Google server in the United States, an action that has been legitimised by the European Commission's recent adequacy decision of 10 July 2023, which recognises Google LLC's certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield. With regard to data storage, any data linked to cookies is automatically deleted after a certain period of time, monthly for data that has reached its retention period, and a maximum of 2 years for Google Analytics cookies.
For more information on Google Analytics' terms of use and Google's privacy policy, please visit {link}https://policies.google.com/{link-end} and {link}https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12017362{link-end}.
Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on the website visitor's computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the website visitor's use of the website (including their abbreviated IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there.
Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension ‘_anonymizeIp()’ on this website. This extension ensures anonymisation of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal references. The extension truncates the IP address by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimisation of this website, the analysis of website usage and the adaptation of content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymisation.
Google LLC. is certified under the Privacy Shield (list entry here) and guarantees an adequate level of data protection on this basis. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
Collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the website visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Visitors to the website can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent future collection of data when visiting this website.
Further information on data use by Google, settings and objection options can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
Website analysis (Wix statistics)
When you visit our website, we collect information about your use of the site through a web analytics tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and user agent, shortens them and stores this data using a hash function.
This process creates a visitor identifier that is encrypted with a randomly generated value (SALT) that changes every 24 hours. This method ensures that your IP address cannot be reconstructed from the stored visitor identifier, thus preserving your anonymity. Furthermore, we do not merge this information with other data and it is only stored on the hosting provider's server.
We also process web analytics data, HTTP data and web analytics profile data. The web analytics tool we use creates and stores a web analytics profile that contains details about your use of the website, such as page views, visit frequency, time spent on each page and your device's user agent. This includes usage data (such as websites visited and access times) and communication data (such as browser type, operating system and IP addresses).
By processing this data, we aim to analyse user behaviour in aggregate form in order to improve the presentation and content of our website. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), in particular in conducting web measurements to improve our products and our website.
The data collected is shared with our website hosting provider and processed within the EU.
