General data protection declaration

By using our website, you agree to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. Our website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or the name of the file accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to you personally. Personal data, in particular name, address or email address, is collected on a voluntary basis wherever possible. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Privacy Policy for Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific user-related information on the user's device while they use the website. Cookies make it possible, in particular, to determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, to analyze page usage behavior, but also to make our offering more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be accessed again when you visit the site again. If you do not want this, you should set your internet browser so that it refuses to accept cookies.

Privacy policy for SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data protection declaration for server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request. This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently check this data if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

Data protection declaration for Google reCAPTCHA

In order to ensure sufficient data security when submitting forms, in certain cases we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc. This is primarily used to distinguish whether the entry is made by a natural person or improperly through machine and automated processing. The service includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. The different data protection regulations of Google Inc. apply. Further information about the data protection guidelines of Google Inc. can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

Data protection declaration for the right to information, deletion, blocking

You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice for this purpose or for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Data protection declaration for forms

If you send us inquiries using a form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us in order to process the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Data protection declaration for registering for the newsletter

You have the option of subscribing to our free newsletter. This means that after you register by entering your email address, we will send you a confirmation email to the email address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. This intermediate step ensures that no third party has used your data. If you confirm receipt of the newsletter, we will save your email address. These emails are sent via Mailchimp, a safe harbor certified US mailing service provider. Please note Mailchimp's privacy policy. You can unsubscribe from the email newsletter at any time. You will find a corresponding link at the end of each newsletter. This data will also be completely deleted if you revoke your consent. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

Privacy Policy for Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To deactivate Google Analytics, Google provides a browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Google Analytics uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific, user-related information on the user's device. These enable Google to analyze the use of our website. The information collected by the cookie about the use of our pages (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been expanded to include the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). If anonymization is active, Google shortens IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, which is why no conclusions can be drawn about your identity. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google adheres to the data protection provisions of the “Privacy Shield” agreement and is registered with the “Privacy Shield” program of the US Department of Commerce and uses the information collected to evaluate the use of our websites, to prepare reports for us and to provide other related services to us to provide.

We strive to keep the new changes brought about by the GDPR up to date. We would be grateful for any information that leads to further improvements to our data protection.
