Privacy policy: general information
Based on data protection regulations, every person is entitled to the protection of their privacy and to protection against the misuse of their personal data. The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
In cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect our databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or falsification.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of data as described below. This website can generally be visited without registration. Data such as pages accessed or names of files accessed, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes without this data being directly related to you. Where personal data (for example name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
Processing of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable person. A data subject is a person about whom personal data is processed. Processing includes any handling of personal data, regardless of the means and procedures used, in particular the storage, disclosure, acquisition, deletion, retention, modification, destruction and use of personal data.
We process personal data in accordance with data protection law. Where and to the extent that the EU GDPR applies, we also process personal data on the following legal bases in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) GDPR:
lit. a) Processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.
lit. b) Processing of personal data for the performance of a contract with the data subject and for the implementation of corresponding pre-contractual measures.
lit. c) Processing of personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject under applicable EU law or under the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR applies in whole or in part.
lit. d) Processing of personal data to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
lit. f) Processing of personal data to safeguard the legitimate interests of us or of third parties, unless the fundamental freedoms, rights and interests of the data subject prevail. Legitimate interests include in particular our business interest in being able to provide our website, information security, the enforcement of our own legal claims and compliance with the law.
We process personal data for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose or purposes. Where longer retention obligations apply due to legal and other obligations to which we are subject, we restrict processing accordingly.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. These are small text files that make it possible to store specific information relating to the user on the user’s device while the user is using the website. In particular, cookies make it possible to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of the pages, to analyse patterns of page use, and also to make our offer more customer-friendly. Cookies remain stored beyond the end of a browser session and can be retrieved when you visit the site again. If you do not want this, you should set your internet browser to refuse cookies.
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for many services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. In addition, the storage of cookies can be prevented by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functions of this online offer can be used.
With SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Without SSL/TLS encryption
Please note that data transmitted over an open network such as the internet or an email service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognise an unencrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar shows “http://” and no lock symbol is displayed in your browser bar. Information transmitted over the internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks.
We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or materials transmitted via such open networks or third-party networks. If you disclose personal data via an open network or third-party networks, you should be aware that your data may be lost or viewed by third parties and that, as a result, the data may be collected and used without your consent.
Although in many cases the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient are in the same country, data transfer via such networks often takes place in an uncontrolled manner via third countries, i.e. also via countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of residence.
We accept no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission over the internet and disclaim any liability for direct or indirect damage. We ask you to use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or advisable for security reasons.
Despite extensive technical and organisational security precautions, it is possible that data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorised persons. As far as possible, we take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is located outside the security area that we control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures. As the operator of the website, we are in no way liable for any damage you suffer as a result of data loss or manipulation.
Data that you enter in online forms may be passed on to authorised third parties for the purpose of processing your order and may be viewed and, where necessary, processed by them.
Server log files
The provider of this website 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 is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
Third-party services
This website may use Google Maps to embed maps, Google Invisible reCAPTCHA to protect against bots and spam, and YouTube to embed videos.
These services of the American company Google LLC use cookies, among other things, as a result of which data is transferred to Google in the USA. We assume that no personal tracking takes place in this context merely through the use of our website.
Google has committed itself to ensuring adequate data protection in accordance with the EU-US and Swiss-US Privacy Shield.
Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
Newsletter
If you would like to receive 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 email address provided and that you agree to receive 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.
Once you have given your consent to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter, you can revoke this consent at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

For the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information on the time the comment was created, your email address and, if you do not post anonymously, the user name you have chosen are stored.
Storage of the IP address
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. As we do not check comments on our site before they are published, we need this data in order to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.
Subscribing to comments
As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to check whether you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time via a link in the information emails.

If you wish to exercise this right of access, you can contact our data protection officer at any time.
Right to rectification
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If you wish to exercise this right to rectification, you can contact our data protection officer at any time.
Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request from the controller of this website the immediate erasure of the personal data concerning them, provided that one of the following grounds applies and the processing is no longer necessary:
The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing
The data subject objects to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in the case of direct marketing and related profiling
The personal data has been processed unlawfully
The erasure of the personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered directly to a child
If one of the above grounds applies and you wish to have personal data stored by the operator of this website erased, you can contact our data protection officer at any time. The data protection officer of this website will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately.
Right to restriction of processing
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to request from the controller of this website the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met:

The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims
The data subject has objected to the processing on grounds relating to their particular situation and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate interests of the controller override those of the data subject
If one of the above conditions is met, you can contact our data protection officer at any time to request the restriction of the processing of personal data by the operator of this website. The data protection officer of this website will arrange for the processing to be restricted.
Right to data portability
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to receive the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where this is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

Right to object
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them.
In the event of an objection, the operator of this website will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
To exercise your right to object, you can contact the data protection officer of this website directly.
Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

Paid services
To provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to carry out your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.
Copyright
The copyright and all other rights to the content, images, photos or other files on the website belong exclusively to the operator of this website or to the specifically named rights holders. The written consent of the copyright holders must be obtained in advance for the reproduction of any files.
Anyone who commits a copyright infringement without the consent of the respective copyright holders may be liable to prosecution and possibly to claims for damages.
Disclaimer
All information on our website has been carefully checked. We make every effort to ensure that the information we provide is up to date, correct and complete. Nevertheless, errors cannot be completely ruled out, so we cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of the information, including information of a journalistic and editorial nature. Liability claims relating to material or immaterial damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect and incomplete information are excluded in principle.
The publisher may change or delete texts at its own discretion and without prior notice and is not obliged to update the content of this website. The use of and access to this website is at the visitor’s own risk. The publisher, its clients or partners are not responsible for any damage, such as direct, indirect, incidental or consequential damage, allegedly caused by visiting this website and consequently accept no liability for such damage.
The publisher also accepts no responsibility or liability for the content and availability of third-party websites that can be accessed via external links from this website. The operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content. The publisher therefore expressly distances itself from all third-party content that may be relevant under criminal or liability law or that may offend common decency.
Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps service. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists.
If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want your data to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of its website.
Such evaluation takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, as well as further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found at: www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy.
Google Ads
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Ads will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.
If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking.
Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of the cookie required for this, for example via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies, or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function serves to present interest-based advertising to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the website visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognise the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these websites, the visitor may be shown advertisements relating to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function.
According to its own statements, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
Google reCAPTCHA
This website uses the reCAPTCHA service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, “Google”). The query serves to distinguish whether the input was made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and, where applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used further there.
However, your IP address is first shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address 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 this service.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA is not merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transferred to the USA. For data transfers to the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission, the “Privacy Shield”. Google participates in the “Privacy Shield” and has submitted to its requirements. By using the query, you consent to the processing of your data.
The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until its withdrawal.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and the associated privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to below as “Google”.
The statistics obtained enable us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings there under “My data”, “Personal data”.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Please note that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code “_anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in shortened form so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you can be assigned to a person, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.
Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address 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 further services related to website and internet use. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
You can also 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 under the following link: deactivate Google Analytics.
In addition, you can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: deactivate Google Analytics. This will store a so-called opt-out cookie on your device, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, i.e. you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you wish to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set per browser and computer/device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other device.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising programme of Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google AdSense allows us to display advertisements on this website that are relevant to our topic.
Google AdSense uses cookies to display advertisements that are relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance or to prevent a user from seeing the same advertisements several times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which advertisements are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed several times. In addition, Google AdSense can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads advertisement and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that Google will find out and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:
by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies means that you will not receive any advertisements from third-party providers;
by deactivating conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://adssettings.google.com, although this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;
by deactivating interest-based advertising from providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;
by permanently deactivating it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is a balancing of interests, according to which the processing of your personal data described above is not opposed by any overriding interests on your part (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR). Further information on Google Ads can be found at https://ads.google.com/home/ and on data protection at Google in general at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org.
Google Web Fonts
For the uniform display of fonts, this website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate, for example, Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offer. The Tag Manager itself, which implements the tags, does not process any personal data of users. With regard to the processing of users’ personal data, please refer to the following information on Google services. Usage policy: https://www.google.com/intl/en/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
Data transfer to the USA
Our website includes, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. Please note that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this.
It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Changes to this privacy policy
We may change this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The current version published on our website applies. Insofar as the privacy policy is part of an agreement with you, we will inform you of the change by email or in another appropriate manner in the event of an update.
