Type and Scope of Processing

We use Cloudflare CDN to properly provide the content of our website. Cloudflare CDN is a service from Cloudflare, Inc., which acts as a Content Delivery Network (CDN) on our website.

A CDN helps to deliver content of our online offering, especially files such as graphics or scripts, faster with the help of regionally or internationally distributed servers. When you access this content, you establish a connection to Cloudflare, Inc. servers, whereby your IP address and possibly browser data such as your user agent are transmitted. This data is processed exclusively for the purposes mentioned above and to maintain the security and functionality of Cloudflare CDN.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The use of the Content Delivery Network is based on our legitimate interests, i.e., interest in a secure and efficient provision and optimization of our online offering in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. In cases where there is no adequacy decision from the European Commission (e.g., in the USA), we have agreed with the recipients of the data on other appropriate guarantees within the meaning of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. These are - unless otherwise stated - standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021. You can view a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu.

Storage Duration

The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Cloudflare, Inc. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Cloudflare CDN: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

Further information on objection and removal options regarding Cloudflare can be found at: Cloudflare DPA

Cloudflare has implemented compliance measures for international data transfers. These apply to all worldwide activities in which Cloudflare processes personal data of natural persons in the EU. These measures are based on the EU standard contractual clauses (SCCs). Further information can be found at: https://www.cloudflare.com/cloudflare_customer_SCCs.pdf

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
