Privacy Policy

As a user of our website, in this data privacy policy, you will receive all necessary information about how, to what extent and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect data from you and use it. Your data is collected and used strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG, Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) and the Telemedia Act (TMG, Telemediengesetz). We are particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits set by law. This personal data is collected on a voluntary basis if we are able to do so. Moreover, we will only pass this data on to third parties with your express consent. We ensure a high level of security for particularly confidential data, such as in payment transactions or with regard to your inquiries sent to us, by using SSL encryption. At this point, however, we would like to point out the general dangers of Internet use which are not under our control. Especially in e-mail traffic, your data is not secure without further precautions and may be collected by third parties.

Information, deletion, blocking

You will receive information – at any time and free of charge – about the personal data we have stored about you as well as about the origin, the recipient and the purpose of data collection and data processing. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of your data. This does not apply to data which is kept due to legal regulations or which is required for proper business transactions. Data is stored in a lock file for control purposes so that data can be locked at any time. If data do not fall under a legal archiving obligation, we delete your data at your request. If the archiving obligation applies, we block your data. For all questions and concerns regarding the correction, blocking or deletion of personal data, please contact the address stated in the Impressum.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These small text files are stored on your PC from our server. They support the presentation of our website and help you to move around our website. Cookies collect data about your IP address, your browser, your operating system and your Internet connection. We do not link this information to personal data and do not pass it on to third parties. Under no circumstances are cookies used by us to bring malware or spyware to your computer. You can also use our website without the use of cookies, which may limit some representations and functions of our offer. If you wish to deactivate cookies, you can do so using the special settings of your browser. Please use its help function to make the appropriate changes. You can manage online ad cookies via the following links:

Provision of chargeable services

If you wish to use the paid services offered on our website, we may need to collect additional data from you for billing purposes and for security reasons. Your name, a valid e-mail address and, if applicable, your address and telephone number as well as further information, depending on the individual case, are regularly requested here. This may also include content that allows us to verify the information provided, such as your ownership of the email address provided. For legal reasons, we must ensure that you actually wish to receive the services offered and that we can properly invoice you for the service. To secure your data, in payment transactions, we work with the SSL encryption standard, recognisable by the browser line "https://".

Collection of access data

The delivery and presentation of the contents via our website technically requires the collection of certain data. When you access our website, these so-called server log files are recorded by us or the provider of the web space. These log files do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you and your person. The relevant information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the data volume, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet provider, the referrer URL as the page from which you switched to our site, and the corresponding IP address. We use this data for the presentation and delivery of our contents as well as for statistical purposes. The information supports the provision and continuous improvement of our offer. We also reserve the right to subsequently check the data mentioned if there is suspicion of illegal use of our offer.

Personal Information

Within the scope of data avoidance and data economy, we collect personal data only to the extent and as long as it is necessary for the use of our website or prescribed by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and strictly adhere to the relevant legal regulations and this data privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of data collection ceases to apply or if the end of the legal storage period has been reached, the data collected will be blocked or deleted. Our website can be used regularly without passing on personal data. If we collect personal data - such as your name, address or e-mail address - this data collection is voluntary. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent. Please note that, in general, data on the Internet is not always transmitted securely. Especially in e-mail traffic, data exchange protection cannot be guaranteed.

Contact form

If you use our contact form to send us inquiries, your details from the contact form including the contact data you provided there will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of further questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

Server log files

The server log files are anonymous data that are collected when you access our website. This information does not allow any personal conclusions to be drawn about you, but for technical reasons it is indispensable for the delivery and presentation of our contents. Furthermore, it serves our statistics and the constant optimization of our contents. Typical log files are the date and time of access, the amount of data, the browser used for access and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of the provider commissioned by you, the page from which you came to our offer (referrer URL), and your IP address. Logfiles also allow a precise check in case of suspicion of illegal use of our website.

SSL encryption

Our website uses SSL encryption for the transmission of confidential or personal content from our users. This encryption is activated, for example, during the processing of payment transactions and for inquiries you make to us via our website. Please make sure that the SSL-encryption is activated by you during corresponding activities. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: The display in your browser line changes from "http://" to "https://". Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Only transmit your confidential information if SSL encryption is activated and if in doubt, please contact us.

Privacy policy for the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to Internet sites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which the person concerned has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The Google Analytics component is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller uses the suffix "gat._anonymizeIp" for the web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned when our Internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state that is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information collected to evaluate the use of our website, among other things, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enables commission statements.

Cookies are used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access came and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Whenever you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, it is possible for the person concerned to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpag... This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the person's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the person concerned must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person under their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
