data protection

The collection and use of your data is strictly according to the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG) and the European Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-DSGVO). We are particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal information and therefore work strictly within the limits set by law. The collection of these personal data takes place on a voluntary basis, if this is possible for us. Also, we only pass on this data to third parties with your express consent. We ensure high security for particularly confidential data such as payment transactions or for your requests to us by using SSL encryption. However, we do not want to miss the opportunity to point out the general dangers of internet usage that we have no influence on. Especially in the email traffic, your data is not secure without further precautions and may be recorded by third parties under certain circumstances.

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 will be deleted automatically 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 the next time you visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and cookies only in individual cases allow, the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally exclude and 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 that your browser automatically sends to us. These are: browser type and browser version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of server request. These files can not 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.

At any time you have the right to free information about the personal data we hold about you as well as the origin, the recipient and the purpose of data collection and processing. In addition, you have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of your data. For all questions and concerns concerning the correction, blocking or deletion of personal data, please contact the address stated in the imprint.

Newsletter

You can register for our newsletter on our website. We need your email address for this. In addition, we must check, taking into account the relevant legal requirements, whether you are actually the owner of the specified email address and want to receive the newsletter. We therefore collect information that makes such a review possible. The data collected in this context serve to send and receive the newsletter. They have a different purpose and will not be shared with third parties. Apart from the information required for sending out the newsletter, no further data will be collected from our site. Since the sending and receiving of the newsletter depends on your consent, you can revoke this consent to the collection and storage of your data at any time without stating reasons.

Personal data

In the context of data avoidance and data minimization, we collect personal data only to the extent and for as long as it is necessary for the use of our website or required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and adhere strictly to the relevant legal provisions and to this privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of the data collection falls away or the end of the legal storage period is reached, the collected data will be blocked or deleted. Regularly our website can be used without the transfer of personal data. When we collect personal information – such as your name, address or email address – this data collection is voluntary. Without your explicit consent, this information will not be disclosed to third parties. Please note that data on the Internet is generally not always transmitted securely. Particularly in the case of email traffic, protection during data exchange can not be guaranteed.

Google AdWords

We use Google AdWords on our website to use an online advertising program provided by Google Inc. This also includes conversion tracking. With this tool, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your PC when you visit our website through a Google ad. The cookie is no longer valid after 30 days. It does not serve any personal traceability. If you visit our website as a user and the cookie is still working, we and Google will recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to our site. Each Google AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies are thus not traceable via the websites of the advertisers. Conversion cookie data is used to generate conversion statistics for advertisers. We, as a customer, experience the total number of users who responded to our ad and then went to a web page that was tagged with a conversion tracking tag. We do not receive any information in this process that could personally identify you as a user. If you decline the tracking process, the cookie of the Google conversion tracking can be deactivated via your Internet browser. If necessary, use the help function of the browser for further information. For more information about Google’s privacy policy, please see

By using Google Maps on our website, information about the use of this website and your IP address will be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. We have no knowledge of the exact content of the submitted data, nor about their use by Google. The company denies in this context the connection of the data with information from other Google services and the collection of personal data. However, Google may transmit the information to third parties. If you disable Javascript in your browser, you prevent the execution of Google Maps. You can not use a map display on our website. By using our website, you consent to the collection and processing of the information by Google Inc as described.

Demographics in Google Analytics

This website uses the demographics feature of Google Analytics. As a result, reports can be produced that contain statements on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This data can not be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time through the ad settings in your Google Account, or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined in the section „Opposition to Data Collection“.

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by changing the address line of the browser from „http: //“ to „https: //“ and the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is enabled, the data you submit to us can not be read by third parties.

Contradiction advertising emails

Within the framework of the legal imprint obligation we have to publish our contact data. These are sometimes used by third parties to send unwanted advertising and information. We hereby object to any unsolicited transmission of advertising material of any kind. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the undesired and unsolicited sending of advertising material. This applies in particular to so-called spam emails, spam letters and spam faxes. Please note that the unauthorized transmission of advertising material may affect both antitrust, civil and criminal matters. Especially spam emails and spam faxes can lead to high claims for damages if they interfere with business operations by overflowing mailboxes or fax machines.
