The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The stored information is:
This data will not be merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - and server log files are therefore recorded.
The server of the website is geographically located in the USA.
We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (e.g. the postal code used for registration or ordering) to approach regional target groups (socalled "geotargeting").
The regional target group approach is used, for example, to automatically display regional offers or advertisements that often are more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for our users.
Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) are merely processed and not stored separately.
You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localisation. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate a location localisation in the corresponding browser settings (as far as this is supported by the respective browser).
We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:
On our website we use functions of the Content Delivery Network of Webflow and HubSpot of the following providers:

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) is a network of regionally distributed servers connected via the Internet to deliver content, especially large media files such as videos. Webflow and HubSpot provides web optimization and security services that we use to improve the load times of our website and to protect it from misuse. When you visit our website, a connection is established to the servers of Webflow and HubSpot to retrieve e.g. content. This allows personal data to be stored and evaluated in server log files, the user's activity (e.g. which pages have been visited) and device and browser information (e.g. IP address and operating system).
Using the features of Webflow and HubSpot serves to deliver and accelerate online applications and content.
The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - and server log files are therefore recorded.
Your personal information will be stored as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

By default, GA 4 has IP address anonymisation enabled. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Exceptionally, only in rare cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
