2. Hosting

We host the content of our website with the following provider:

Wix

This website was created using WIX Ltd., Hanamal 40, 6350671 Tel Aviv, Israel (“Wix” or “Wix.com”) and is also hosted on their servers. Wix.com has multiple locations worldwide, including Berlin, Germany.

The GDPR requires certain protective measures when transferring personal data outside the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to “third countries” (i.e., countries outside these protection zones, including the United States). Wix is committed to handling personal data from the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland (as well as data received from other locations worldwide) securely and in compliance with data protection laws, adhering to the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission for data processing.

As website operators, we have signed a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Wix as part of our contract. See: Wix Privacy Policy & DPA.

When you access our website, your current IP address is forwarded to a Wix server so that the server can “send” our website to your current device. We do not use any plugins provided by Wix.com or third parties on our website. Thus, the data transferred to Wix.com when you visit our website and browse (see Cookies below) is limited to so-called server log files, which include:

• Name of the accessed webpage

• File, date, and time of access

• Amount of transferred data

• Notification of successful access

• Browser type and version

• User’s operating system

• Referrer URL (previously visited page)

• IP address and requesting provider

Wix.com primarily uses this data for statistical analysis to operate, secure, and optimize its services. This data is stored on Wix.com servers in Europe, Israel, or the USA.

Additionally, Wix.com uses New Relic as a tool to measure and monitor the technical performance of the website, such as determining whether the website can be accessed and how quickly pages load. New Relic collects system data (e.g., browser types, hardware, software used) and places cookies in your browser to analyze performance. The collected data is stored on New Relic servers and used for performance comparisons between different websites.

You have the right to request free information at any time about the data stored about you by Wix.com, including the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correction, restriction, or deletion of this data.

Before proceeding with your visit to our site, please read Wix.com’s Privacy Policy, which provides a comprehensive overview of Wix.com’s data handling practices beyond just the data collected when you visit our website.

For clarification: In Wix.com’s privacy policy, we as website operators are referred to as “Users,” and you as website visitors are referred to as “Users of Users.”

If you continue browsing our website after reading this, we assume you agree to the data storage and usage described in our privacy policy and Wix.com’s privacy policy.
