Privacy Policy

Cookies

Some of our web pages use "cookies." Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses.
Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. They are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set and to allow them only on a case-by-case basis, to refuse cookies in specific instances or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

 
Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in "server log files," which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

    Browser type and version
    Operating system used
    Referrer URL
    Hostname of the accessing computer
    Time of the server request

This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. We do not combine this data with other
data sources. We reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become
aware of concrete evidence of unlawful use.

 
Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information provided in the inquiry form—including the
contact details you entered—will be stored by us to process the inquiry and handle any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

 

Newsletter Data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

 
Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address
will be truncated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other
contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission
to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google
server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google
will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on
website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage
to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of
Google Analytics will not be combined with other data held by Google.

Data Processing Agreement

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities regarding the use of Google Analytics.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic features" function of Google Analytics.
This allows for the creation of reports containing information on the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to Data Collection."

Google+

Our pages use Google+ features. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collection and sharing of information: You can publish information worldwide using the Google+ button. Through the Google+ button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you have given a "+1" to a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked "+1." Your "+1" actions may be displayed as indicators alongside your profile name and photo in Google services—such as in search results or your Google profile—or elsewhere on websites and online advertisements.

Google records information about your "+1" activities in order to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible public Google profile that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used across all Google services. In
some cases, this name may also replace another name you have used when sharing
content via your Google account. Your Google profile identity may
be visible to users who know your email address or possess other identifying
information about you.

Use of collected information: In addition to the purposes explained above, the information you provide
is used in accordance with applicable Google privacy policies. Google may
publish aggregated statistics regarding users' +1 activity or
share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated sites.

 

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the Google-operated site YouTube. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

 
SSL Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator—this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 
Right to Information, Deletion, and Blocking

You have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected, blocked, or deleted. You may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice regarding this matter or for further questions concerning personal data.

 
Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in compliance with legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The
operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited
transmission of advertising information, such as spam emails.
