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.

 

Cookies

Our website uses cookies, which are small text files that are stored on the user's device to save specific user information while they use the website. Cookies help us to analyze page usage behavior, determine the frequency of use and number of users of the pages, and make our website more customer-friendly. These cookies remain stored at the end of a browser session and can be accessed again when you visit the site again. However, if you do not wish to accept cookies, you can set your internet browser to refuse them.

 

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/browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, and time of the server request.

These data are not assignable to any person. 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.

 

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various storage periods provided by law. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or these deadlines have expired, the relevant data will be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with legal regulations.

 

SSL Encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests that you as the site operator send to us. 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.

 

 

Contact Form

When you use our contact form to send us inquiries, we will store the information you provide, including your contact details, to process your inquiry and follow up with any additional questions, if necessary. We will not share this information with anyone without your explicit consent.

 

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 http://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 the anonymization feature is activated, Google will shorten IP addresses in member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Therefore, it is not possible to draw any conclusions about your identity. However, in exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and will be shortened there. Google follows the data protection guidelines of the "Privacy Shield" agreement, and it is registered with the "Privacy Shield" program of the US Department of Commerce. The information collected is used to evaluate the use of our websites, prepare reports for us, and provide other related services.
