Data Protection Guidelines

Data Pro­tec­tion

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. The use of our web­site is usual­ly pos­si­ble wit­hout pro­vi­ding per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on. As far as on our sides per­so­nal data (for exam­p­le name, address or E‑Mail addres­ses) are coll­ec­ted, this takes place, as far as pos­si­ble, always on vol­un­t­a­ry basis. The­se data will not be dis­c­lo­sed to third par­ties wit­hout your expli­cit con­sent. Plea­se note that data trans­mis­si­on over the Inter­net (for exam­p­le, when com­mu­ni­ca­ting via e‑mail) may have secu­ri­ty vul­nerabi­li­ties. A com­ple­te pro­tec­tion of the data from access by third par­ties is not pos­si­ble.

Coo­kies

The inter­net pages part­ly use so-cal­led coo­kies. Coo­kies do not harm your com­pu­ter and do not con­tain viru­s­es. Coo­kies ser­ve to make our offer more user-fri­end­ly, effec­ti­ve and secu­re. Coo­kies are small text files that are stored on your com­pu­ter and stored 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 the next time you visit. You can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and allow coo­kies only in indi­vi­du­al cases, the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or gene­ral­ly exclude and acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when clo­sing the brow­ser. Howe­ver, 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 are:

  • Brow­ser type and brow­ser ver­si­on
  • Used ope­ra­ting sys­tem
  • Refer­rer URL
  • Host name of the acces­sing com­pu­ter
  • Time of the ser­ver request

The­se data can­not be assi­gned to spe­ci­fic per­sons. A mer­ge of this data with other data sources will not be done. We reser­ve the right to check this data retro­s­pec­tively, if we beco­me awa­re of spe­ci­fic indi­ca­ti­ons for ille­gal use.

Cont­act Form

If you send us inqui­ries via the cont­act form, your details from the inquiry form, inclu­ding the cont­act details you pro­vi­ded the­re, will be stored in order to pro­cess the request and in case of fol­low-up ques­ti­ons. Howe­ver, we will not share this infor­ma­ti­on wit­hout your con­sent.

News­let­ter Data

If you would like to recei­ve the news­let­ter offe­red on the web­site, we requi­re an e‑mail address from you, as well as infor­ma­ti­on that allows us to veri­fy that you are the owner of the spe­ci­fied e‑mail address and that you agree to recei­ve the news­let­ter. Fur­ther data is not coll­ec­ted. We use this data exclu­si­ve­ly for the deli­very of the reques­ted infor­ma­ti­on and do not pass it on to third par­ties. The gran­ted con­sent to the sto­rage of the data, the e‑mail address and their use for sen­ding the news­let­ter can be revo­ked at any time, for exam­p­le via the “unsub­scri­be” link in the news­let­ter.
