The following privacy policy statement informs you about the most relevant aspects of data processing within the scope of our Website.


1. Name and address of the entity responsible for processing data

Responsible within the meaning of the GDPR:

2. Collection of personal data

Upon visiting our website, we merely store access data via so-called server-log files; these are data your browser automatically provides, without any specific reference to individuals, that is:

These data cannot be traced to any specific individuals; furthermore, the data are not combined with other data sources; besides, these data are deleted after a statistical analysis. To this end, user traffic on our website is stored in server log files. These log files are held by the web server provider for a maximum of 9 weeks. We have no way of tracing these data to any specific individual while using them.

Some functional features on our website ask the user to state personal data such as name, e-mail address, name and other data may be provided voluntarily here.

We process your data on servers located in Germany, hence within the purview of the EU Data Protection framework; however, we would also like to call your attention to potential exemptions set forth in points 6 to 10 of the present Privacy Policy statement (“Google Analytics“, “Mapbox“, “OpenStreetMap“, “Google Font”, “Youtube“) if third-party providers employ tools with their servers located abroad.

3. Data Collection
