§ 9          Use of analysis programs

We use WordPress.com, a website building block system, for our website. The service provider is the American company Automattic Inc. WordPress also processes your data in the USA, among other places. It can mean that there is no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can come with various risks.

WordPress uses so-called standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 and Para. 3 GDPR as the basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries or data transfer there. These are templates provided, which are intended to ensure that the data also comply with European data protection standards if they are transferred to third countries and stored there. With this clause, WordPress undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing the relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. In this respect, reference is made to the implementation decision of the EU Commission. You can find out more about data processed by using WordPress.com in the data protection declaration at https://automattic.com/de/privacy/.

§ 10 Data security

(1) For the security of visits to our website, we employ the widely used SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest encryption level that your browser supports. In most cases, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, then we will fall back on 128-bit v3 technology. Which of the pages on our website are transferred in encrypted form can be recognised by a symbol of a key or of a closed padlock in the lower status bar of your browser.

(2) We also employ suitable technical and organisational security measures in order to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or access by unauthorised third parties. Our security measures are continually improved in accordance with the development of technical standards.
