Data Protection
The operators of these sites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (for example, name, address, or e-mail addresses) are collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These 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 via e-mail) may have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.
Cookies
The websites partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to 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 saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of 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 set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Server-Log-Files
The provider of the sites 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
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
These data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. A merging of these data with other data sources does not take place. We reserve the right to review these data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete 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 provide there, will be stored with us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share these data without your consent.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. 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.
IP Anonymization
We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. 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 other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

Order Data Processing
We have concluded a contract for order data processing with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic Features in Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that provide information on the age, gender, and interests of the website visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. These data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to Data Collection.”
SSL Encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL encryption is enabled, 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 receive free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint.
Objection to Promotional Emails
The use of contact information published in the context of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example via spam emails.
