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 as well as this privacy policy.

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis whenever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Cookies

Some of the websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. 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 inform you about the use of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, 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 provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

• Browser type and browser version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Hostname of the accessing computer

• Time of the server request

This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently review this data if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

SSL Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the website 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.

If 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 obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

Within our online offering, we use content or service offers from third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the users’ IP address, as they could not send the content to the user’s browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely to deliver the content.

Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the pixel tags, information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the users’ devices and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and further information about the use of our online offering, and may also be combined with such information from other sources.

  Security Measures

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, disclosure, securing availability, and separation of data. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data, and response to data breaches.

In addition, we take data protection into account already during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (Art. 25 GDPR).
