We are pleased that you are interested in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide you with detailed information on how we handle your data.

1. Access Data and Hosting
   You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which documents the access and contains, for example, the name of the file requested, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data). This access data is evaluated exclusively for the purpose of ensuring smooth operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves our legitimate interests, which predominate within the scope of a balancing of interests, in the correct presentation of our offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. All access data is processed only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above.

Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website are provided in part by our service providers as processors acting on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data, as well as all data collected through the forms provided on this website, is processed on their servers. If you have questions regarding our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please contact us using the contact details provided in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has determined, by decision, that an adequate level of data protection exists: Israel, United Kingdom, USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA serves as the basis for the third-country transfer, provided the respective service provider is certified. Such certification exists.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in the following countries: Brazil, Mexico, India, Ukraine.
No adequacy decision by the European Commission exists for these countries. Our cooperation with them is based on the following safeguards: Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Union.

1. Data Processing for Contact and Customer Communication
   Contact
   When you contact us, we collect personal data to process your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, provided you voluntarily disclose this data to us when contacting us (e.g., via contact form, live chat tool, or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such, as in these cases we require the data to process your inquiry. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Once your inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, or we reserve the right to further use of the data as permitted by law, of which we inform you in this policy.

Once your customer inquiry has been fully processed, your data will be restricted from further processing and deleted after the statutory retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, or we reserve the right to further use of the data as permitted by law, of which we inform you in this policy.

1. Cookies and Other Technologies
   3.1 General Information
   To make visiting our website appealing and to enable the use of certain functions, we use technologies, including so-called cookies, on various pages. Cookies are small text files that are automatically stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e., after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).

Protection of Privacy on End Devices
When using our online services, we use strictly necessary technologies in order to provide the telemedia service you have expressly requested. The storage of information on your device, or access to information already stored on your device, does not require consent in this regard.

For functions that are not strictly necessary, the storage of information on your device, or access to information already stored on your device, requires your consent. Please note that if consent is not given, certain parts of the website may not be fully usable. Any consent you have given remains valid until you adjust or reset the relevant settings on your device.

Subsequent Data Processing Through Cookies and Other Technologies

These technologies collect and process the IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, as well as information about your use of our website (e.g., information about your preferences). This serves our legitimate interests, which predominate within the scope of a balancing of interests, in an optimized presentation of our offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.

We also use technologies to fulfill legal obligations to which we are subject (e.g., to be able to demonstrate consent to the processing of your personal data), as well as for web analytics and online marketing purposes. Further information on this, including the respective legal basis for the data processing, can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy.

3.2 Use of the Wix Consent Manager Tool for Managing Consents
Our website uses the Wix Consent Manager Tool to inform you about the cookies and other technologies we use on our website, and to obtain, manage, and document your consent, where required, to the processing of your personal data through these technologies. This is necessary pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR to fulfill our legal obligation under Art. 7(1) GDPR to be able to demonstrate your consent to the processing of your personal data. The Wix Consent Manager Tool is offered by Wix.com Ltd., 40 Nemal St., Tel Aviv 6350671, Israel ("Wix"). After you submit your cookie declaration on our website, Wix's web server stores your IP address, the date and time of your declaration, browser information, language, and the URL from which the declaration was submitted, as well as information about your consent behavior. In addition, a cookie is used that contains information about your consent behavior. Your data will be deleted after 365 days, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, or we reserve the right to further use of the data as permitted by law, of which we inform you in this policy.

Information on Third-Country Transfers (Data Transmission to Third Countries)
We use technologies from service providers on our website whose registered offices and/or server locations may be located in third countries outside the EU or the EEA. If no adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for such a country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured through other appropriate safeguards.

Appropriate safeguards in the form of contractually agreed Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are generally possible, but require the contracting parties to first verify whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures in this regard.

We have generally agreed to the Standard Contractual Clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use that process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree to additional safeguards intended to ensure adequate data protection in third countries without an adequacy decision.

Notwithstanding this, it may occur that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that of the EU. In such cases, where necessary, we will ask for your consent as part of the cookie consent process pursuant to Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR for the transfer of your personal data to a third country.

In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may, from a European data protection perspective, be granted access rights to your personal data that are not sufficiently limited, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not become aware of this, and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies available to prevent or take action against such access.

The following countries, in particular, are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (non-exhaustive list):

China

Russia

Taiwan

You can find out which third countries we transfer data to in the privacy notices of the respective tool used and/or the consent management service/Consent Manager Platform (CMP) we use.
