Cookies
The Internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and safer. 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 end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser during 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. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of his services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy. If you would like to deactivate cookies, you can do so via special settings in your browser. Please use its help function to make the appropriate changes. You can manage online ad cookies via the following links: https://www.aboutads.info/choices for the USA https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices for Europe.

Provision of fee-based 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. This regularly involves 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. This may also involve content that allows us to verify the data provided, such as your ownership of the e-mail 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. In order to secure your data, we work with the SSL encryption standard, which can be recognized by the browser line “https://”.

Collection of access data
The delivery and presentation of content 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 about you and your person. The corresponding information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the amount of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet provider, the referrer URL as the site from which you have 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 should there be any suspicion of illegal use of our offer.

Contents and services of third parties
The offer on our website may also include content, services and benefits from other providers that complement our offer. Examples of such offers are maps from Google Maps, YouTube videos or graphic representations of third parties. Calling up these services from third parties regularly requires the transmission of your IP address. This enables these providers to perceive your user IP address and also to store it. We make every effort to include only those third party providers who use IP addresses solely for the delivery of content. However, we have no influence on which third party provider may store the IP address. This storage can be used for statistical purposes, for example. Should we become aware of storage processes by third parties, we will inform our users of this fact immediately. In this context, please also note the special data protection declarations of individual third-party providers and service providers whose services we use on our website. You will also find them in this privacy policy.

Newsletter
You can register on our website to receive our newsletter. We need your e-mail address for this. In addition, we must check, in compliance with the relevant legal regulations, whether you are actually the owner of the e-mail address provided and wish to receive the newsletter. We therefore collect information that makes such a check possible. The data collected in this context is used to send and receive the newsletter. They have a different purpose and are not passed on to third parties. Apart from the information necessary for sending the newsletter, no further data is collected from our side. 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 giving reasons. To do so, please use the “unsubscribe link” provided in the newsletter.

Personal data
We collect personal data in the context of data avoidance and data economy only to the extent and for as long as it is necessary for the use of our website, or as required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and adhere strictly to the relevant legal regulations and this privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of the data collection ceases to apply or the end of the legal storage period is reached, the collected data 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, your address or your e-mail address – this data collection is voluntary. These data will not be made available to third parties without your explicit consent. Please note that data on the Internet is generally not always transmitted securely. Particularly in e-mail traffic, the protection of data exchange cannot be guaranteed.

Server log files
The server log files are anonymous data that are collected when you access our website. This information does not allow any conclusions about you personally, but for technical reasons it is indispensable for the delivery and presentation of our content. Furthermore, they serve our statistics and the continuous 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 you have commissioned, the page from which you came to our offer (referrer URL) and your IP address. Log files also enable us to carry out a detailed check if we suspect that our website is being used illegally.

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
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

SSL-encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as site operator. This encryption is activated, for example, for the processing of payment transactions as well as for inquiries that you send to us via our website. Please make sure that the SSL encryption is activated for corresponding activities from your side. The use of the 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. Please transmit your confidential information only if SSL encryption is activated and contact us if in doubt.

Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators.

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
