Regardless of this, you may exercise your rights against any of the joint controllers mentioned above. An internal allocation of responsibilities does not limit your statutory rights. Article 26(3) of the GDPR explicitly provides that data subjects may exercise their rights against each of the joint controllers.
We process personal data in connection with this website only for the purposes described in this privacy policy and only to the extent that there is a legal basis for doing so under the GDPR. The specific legal basis is stated for each respective processing operation. Insofar as processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, the relevant legitimate interest is also specified there.
Insofar as information is stored on your end device or read from it through the use of cookies or comparable technologies, the provisions of Section 25 TDDDG shall apply additionally. The respective legal basis is explained in connection with the relevant service or processing operation.
When you access our website, the web server automatically processes technical access data that your browser transmits to the server. This processing is technically necessary to enable the website to be displayed and to ensure it operates securely and stably.
In particular, the following data can be processed:
The purposes of the processing are the technical provision of the website, ensuring system security and stability, error analysis, and the detection and prevention of attacks or abusive use.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the secure, stable and functional operation of the website and in ensuring the security of processing pursuant to Article 32 of the GDPR.
Server log files are generally stored for seven days and then deleted. Longer storage only takes place to the extent that this is necessary in individual cases, for example to investigate security incidents, to rectify functional disruptions or for the enforcement of law.
Our website is operated using an external hosting service provider.
Hosting provider is: Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany.
The hosting service provider provides the technical infrastructure for operating the website and may process personal data generated during the provision of the website.
This includes in particular technical access data and server log files pursuant to Section 5, as well as data processed within the scope of maintenance, upkeep, protection and technical administration of the website.
Processing by the hosting service provider is generally carried out on our behalf. A data processing agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting service provider.
The hosting service provider processes personal data only in accordance with the existing contractual agreements and our instructions, insofar as this is necessary for the provision and technical operation of the website.
According to the hosting provider's information, the data generally remains within the European Union, unless otherwise agreed or technically required.
Our website uses transport encryption via HTTPS/TLS. For forms and other transmissions of personal data, we use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect confidentiality, integrity and availability.
If you contact us via the contact form or by email, we process the data you provide in order to assign, process and respond to your enquiry. This includes in particular your name, email address, voluntarily provided telephone number, selected location, and the content and time of the enquiry.
Insofar as your enquiry relates to an existing contract or client relationship, or the initiation thereof, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. In the case of other enquiries, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the proper receipt, allocation and answering of the enquiry.
Enquiries affecting all or multiple joint controllers are processed jointly. If an enquiry clearly relates to only one specific controller, it is processed independently by that controller following internal assignment.
The data will be deleted as soon as the request has been finally processed and there are no statutory retention obligations or legitimate interests in further storage. For client-related or pre-contractual enquiries, professional, commercial and tax law retention periods may have to be observed.
Our website uses the consent management tool „Borlabs Cookie“ to obtain, manage and document in a data protection-compliant manner your consents to the storage of certain cookies and to the use of certain technologies.
Provider is: Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, 22083 Hamburg, Germany.
When you visit our website, a technically necessary cookie is set in which your selected consents or their revocation are stored. This makes it possible to track whether and to what extent you have agreed to certain categories of cookies or comparable technologies.
In particular, the following information can be processed:
The storage of the consent information is carried out to ensure the fulfilment of our legal obligations to provide evidence regarding granted consents.
The consent data is generally stored until you delete the corresponding cookies, withdraw your consent, or the purpose for storage no longer applies. Statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
The consent information is stored locally in the browser or in the website's system according to the currently planned configuration. According to our understanding, the consent information stored in the consent cookie is not transmitted to Borlabs.
Borlabs Cookie is used to fulfil our legal obligations to obtain and document consent in accordance with Section 25 TDDDG and Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Insofar as the processing is necessary for the proper management of your consent preferences, it is also carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the legally compliant operation of the website in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can change or revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future via the „Privacy settings“ button provided on the website.
We use the web analytics service „Piwik PRO“ on our website to evaluate the use of our website and improve our online offer.
Provider is: Piwik PRO GmbH, Knesebeckstraße 62/63, 10719 Berlin, Germany.
Piwik PRO enables the analysis of user behaviour on our website, in particular the evaluation of page views, navigation paths, interactions on the website, technical information about the terminal device and browser used, and other statistical usage data.
Processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as cookies or comparable technologies are used as part of the analysis. Consent is obtained via our consent management system.
The data collected using Piwik PRO is used to statistically evaluate the use of our website, measure audience reach, detect errors and optimise the user-friendliness and content of our online services.
The analytics data collected with Piwik PRO is stored only as long as necessary for statistical evaluation, and is then deleted or anonymised. The specific storage period depends on the configuration of the service.
According to the currently planned configuration, the processing of the analysis data takes place within the European Union or the European Economic Area. In the event that a transfer to a third country should take place in individual cases, this will only occur in accordance with the conditions stated in Section 17.
You can revoke or change given consent at any time with effect for the future via the privacy settings on our website. The revocation shall not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the revocation.
Our website uses the WordPress plugin „TranslatePress“ to provide content in multiple languages.
This allows your chosen language to be saved so that the website can be displayed in your preferred language on future visits. Technically necessary cookies or comparable technologies may be used for this purpose.
The legal basis for storing the language setting and providing the selected language version is Section 25(2) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TDDDG) and Article 6(1)(f) of the UK GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing the website in a user-friendly and multilingual manner.
If automatic translation services are used, website content and technical information regarding the translation request may be transmitted to the translation service provider in question. Which data is processed and which recipients are involved depends on the specific configuration of the translation function.
Our website uses map displays from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) service to present locations clearly and to make it easier to find our branches.
The map data is provided by: OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom.

GDPR are met, in particular on the basis of an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 GDPR, appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR or an exception pursuant to Article 49 GDPR.
We only store personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes or as required by statutory retention periods. Specific time limits are stated in the respective sections.
