Scope

With this data protection declaration, users receive information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider.

The legal framework for data protection is provided by the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

Collection of general information

Each time you access this website, we or the web space provider automatically collect information. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally.

Among other things, the following information is recorded: name of the website, file, date, amount of data, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your Internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our offer) and the IP address.

Without this data, it would sometimes be technically impossible to deliver and display the website's content. Therefore, the collection of this data is absolutely necessary. We also use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. It helps us optimize our offering and technology. We also reserve the right to subsequently review the log files if we suspect illegal use of our offering.

Contact form

If you contact us via the online form or by email, we will save the information you provide in order to answer your inquiry and ask any follow-up questions.

Integration of third-party services and content


Our offerings sometimes include content, services, and offerings from third-party providers. These include, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube, and graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be accessed and displayed in the user's browser, the transmission of the IP address is mandatory. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") therefore record the IP address of the respective user.

Although we strive to use only third-party providers who only require the IP address to deliver content, we have no influence over whether the IP address may be stored. This process serves, among other things, statistical purposes. If we become aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users.

Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer by the server. They contain information about your browser, IP address, operating system, and internet connection. We do not share this data with third parties or link it to personal information without your consent.

Cookies primarily serve two purposes: They help us make navigation through our website easier for you and enable the website to display correctly. They are not used to introduce viruses or launch programs.

Users have the option of accessing our services without cookies. To do so, they must change the appropriate settings in their browser. Please refer to your browser's help function to learn how to disable cookies. However, please note that doing so may impair some functions of this website and limit the user experience.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, Google will shorten your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that if you do this, you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add On to deactivate Google Analytics.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

Data economy

In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data economy, we store personal data only for as long as necessary or as required by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose of the collected information no longer applies or the retention period expires, we will block or delete the data.

Your rights to information, correction, blocking, deletion and objection

You have the right to request information about the personal data we have stored free of charge and/or to request its correction, blocking, or deletion. Exceptions: This applies if the data is required to be stored for business purposes or if the data is subject to statutory retention periods.

For these purposes, please contact our data protection officer (contact details: at the end of the data protection declaration).

In order to be able to implement a data block at any time, it is necessary to keep the data in a blocked file for monitoring purposes. If there is no legal archiving requirement, you can also request that the data be deleted. Otherwise, we will block the data if you so request.

Changes to our privacy policy

To ensure that our privacy policy always complies with current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies if the privacy policy needs to be adjusted due to new or revised services, such as new services. The new privacy policy will then take effect the next time you visit our website.
