We, as the operator of the website at https://www.iils.de (hereinafter referred to as “Website“), are responsible for handling the personal data of users (“you“) in accordance with applicable data protection laws, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR“).
Below, we provide a clear overview as part of our duty to inform (Art. 13 GDPR) about which data are processed during your visit to our website and the legal basis for this processing. You will also find information about your rights in relation to us and the relevant supervisory authority.

2. Informational Use of Our Website
When you visit our website solely for browsing, log files are processed by our system automatically.
The following data may be processed automatically:
- IP address of the requesting computer
- Type of internet browser used
- Language of the internet browser used
- Version of the internet browser used
- Operating system and its version
- Operating user interface
- Pages accessed
- Date and time of the visit

- Transferred data volume
- Success or failure of loading
- Referrer
- Websites accessed through our website by the visitor’s system

The log files contain your IP address and possibly other personal data, which means it could potentially be traced back to you. However, your IP address is immediately anonymized after collection by replacing the last three digits with zeros. This generally prevents your IP address from being linked to you.
Additionally, we only store your data temporarily and, in particular, do not combine it with other personal data. The data is deleted after 8 weeks. The temporary processing and storage of the above-mentioned data is necessary to provide our website and ensure the security of our IT systems. This purpose also forms the basis of our legitimate interest in processing the data under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
3. Provision of Our Website
Our website is hosted on the servers of IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, with servers located in Germany. This means that data collected when visiting and using this website are stored with our host.
The legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as using a professional provider aligns with our legitimate interest in secure and efficient website provision. We have entered into a data processing agreement with IONOS SE.
4. Contact via Email, Phone, or Mail
You may contact us by email, phone, or mail. Personal data transmitted via these means will be stored and processed solely to handle your inquiry, which aligns with our legitimate interest. The legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data will be stored until they are no longer required for the conversation’s purpose and your inquiry has been fully resolved.
If your contact is intended to conclude a contract with us, the additional legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. These data will be stored as long as required to execute the contract or pre-contractual measures. Furthermore, we store your data only to fulfill legal obligations (e.g., tax duties) under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
You may inform us (see Section 1) at any time if you wish us to delete the data provided during the conversation. In this case, all personal data related to the conversation will be deleted, if permissible, making continuation of the conversation no longer possible.
5. Your Rights
As a “data subject“ under the GDPR, you have the following rights: Right of access, right to rectification, right to restriction of processing, right to erasure, right to notification and right to data portability. You also have the right to object, withdraw consent, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
a. Right of Access
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data. If we do, you have the right to obtain access, including information about processing purposes, data categories, recipients or recipient categories, and, if applicable, storage duration.
b. Right to Rectification
If the personal data we have stored about you are incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request immediate correction or completion of these data.
c. Right to Restriction of Processing
Under certain circumstances, you may request the restriction of processing. For example, if you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, processing will be restricted while we verify accuracy. Another example is if we no longer need the data, but you require it for a legal claim.
d. Right to Erasure
In specific situations, you have the right to request immediate deletion of your personal data. This applies, for example, if we no longer need your data for the original purpose or if we have processed your data unlawfully. Another example is if we process your data based on your consent and you withdraw it, without other legal grounds for processing. However, this right to deletion does not always apply. For instance, we may retain your data to meet legal obligations or for legal claims.
e. Right to Notification
If you exercise your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction, we are obligated to inform all recipients to whom we have disclosed your personal data unless this is impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
f. Right to Data Portability
Under certain conditions, you may receive personal data provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and request direct transfer to another controller. This right applies when we process data based on your consent or a contract with you and do so using automated means.
You have the right to request that we directly transfer your personal data to another controller, provided that this is technically feasible and does not affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.
g. Right to Object
You have the right, at any time and based on reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data under Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Following your objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it relates to direct marketing. If you object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process it for these purposes.
h. Right to Withdraw Consent
Under Art. 7(3) GDPR, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
i. Right to Complain
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. In particular, you may exercise this right in the Member State of your residence, place of work, or location of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
For Baden-Württemberg, the relevant authority is: Data Protection Commissioner of Baden-Württemberg, Lautenschlagerstr. 20, 70173 Stuttgart, Phone: +49 711 6155410, Email: poststelle@lfdi.bwl.de.
