The controller responsible for data processing on this website within the meaning of the GDPR is:
We process our users' personal data in principle only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. Processing is regularly carried out only with the user's consent or where a statutory basis permits it (in particular Art. 6 GDPR).
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
The content of this website is hosted by IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Straße 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany. The servers are located within Germany or the European Union.

The basis for this is a data processing agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. Further information on data processing by IONOS can be found in the provider's privacy notices at ionos.de.
The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient provision of our online offer (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
