Privacy policy

This is a translation for your convenience. Only the German version is legally binding.

Thank you for your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below we explain in detail how we handle your data.

Storage of access data in server log files

You can visit our website without telling us who you are. We only store access data in so-called server log files, such as the name of the requested file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data is evaluated solely to ensure the smooth operation of the site and to improve our services, and it does not allow us to identify you.

Collection and use of data for processing contracts

We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us when contacting us (e.g. via the contact form or by email). The data collected can be seen in the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your enquiries. Once processing has been completed, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data. You can have your data deleted at any time by sending a message to the contact option described below.

Use of cookies

To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted at the end of the browser session, i.e. when you close your browser (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed about cookies being set and decide individually whether to accept them, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Use of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analysis

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (www.google.com). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods that make it possible to analyse how you use the website, such as so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer. The information generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Because IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is shortened beforehand within the member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The anonymised IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Right to information and contact

You have the right to free information about the personal data we store about you and, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. If you have questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, or wish to request information, correction, blocking or deletion of data, withdraw consent you have given or object to a particular use of data, please contact us directly using the contact details in our imprint.
