Privacy policy for the use of our website
The protection of your data has the highest priority for us (Theis Consult, Oppenhoffallee 9-15, D - 52066 Aachen; responsible within the meaning of Art. 24 (1) EU-DSGVO). In accordance with the German Telemedia Act (TMG), the latest version of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG new) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), we would therefore like to inform you in detail about the purpose, type and scope of the processing of personal data through the use of our website.
You can exercise your right to information as well as correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of your data - insofar as this is permissible due to any other existing legal obligations - at any time.
You have the option of contacting the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us with a complaint in connection with data processing.
When contacting us (e.g. by email), the user's details are processed for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise, in particular for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Data collection when using this website
In order to minimise the scope of the collection and processing of personal data as far as possible, Theis Consult GmbH refrains as far as possible from collecting and storing personal data and from using external analysis tools such as Google Analytics in accordance with the EU GDPR. You can visit our website without providing any personal data. However, for operational reasons and for security analyses to prevent and evaluate any system errors and/or so-called "cyberattacks" on our website, so-called "server logs" are automatically stored in our system for one week in accordance with the legal basis for data processing of the EU GDPR. These include the IP address and the date and time of access. In addition, the browser type and browser version, referrer URL, the names of requested websites/files and the amount of data sent are transmitted. This information is not used for any other purpose and is completely deleted after seven days.
Use of cookies (session cookies)
By using our website, you accept the use of cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. They are only used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure and to enable the use of certain functions, such as the search function. The cookies we use are automatically deleted at the end of your visit to our website (so-called session cookies). To be informed about the setting of cookies, you can set your browser accordingly. This allows you to specify exactly which cookies you wish to allow or deactivate or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Please note that if you deactivate cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
Anonymised analysis of visitor flows
We use the open source web tracking tool Piwik/Matomo to analyse the behaviour of users of our website. With this alternative to Google Analytics, the data used to track website visitors is processed exclusively internally by us. This means that this data is not passed on to third parties or used by third parties, but is only stored on our own server and can be analysed by us. In this way, we can also guarantee that all data is stored exclusively and without exception on systems in Germany. For anonymisation purposes, the last digits of the IP address (the last byte of the IPv4 address) are made unrecognisable. This ensures that the data cannot be linked to a specific person.
TLS encryption
For security reasons, this site offers TLS encryption (Transport Layer Security). You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser begins with https:// and by the lock symbol in the browser line.
Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy. The current version of our privacy policy for the use of our website can be viewed at any time directly on our homepage and [here].
