Hosting and website provision via Wix.com

This website is operated via the platform provided by Wix.com Ltd., 40 Namal Tel Aviv St., Tel Aviv 6350671, Israel. Wix provides the technical infrastructure on which this website is hosted and managed.

When using Wix, personal data may be transferred to so-called third countries outside the European Union (e.g. to the USA or Israel). Wix is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus offers an appropriate data protection standard for data transfers to the USA. An adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission for Israel.

Data Transmission Security

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption (https) to transmit your data securely using state-of-the-art technology.

Scope of the processing of personal data

As a general rule, we process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website and to deliver our content and services. Processing generally takes place only with the users’ consent, unless statutory provisions allow for an exception.

Legal basis for data processing

The processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the following provisions of the DSGVO:

Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a (Einwilligung)

Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c (rechtliche Verpflichtung)
Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f (berechtigtes Interesse)

Data erasure and retention period

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies – unless this is prevented by statutory retention obligations.

Pages and files accessed

The data is used to ensure the website operates without disruption and to improve the service. It is not combined with other data sources.
