Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

When you access our website, general information is automatically collected through a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver content from websites requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. The data is processed in particular for the following purposes:

- Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,

- Ensuring smooth use of our website,

- Evaluation of system security and stability,

- For further administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. The recipients of the data are only the responsible entity and, if applicable, processors.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system, and your internet connection.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or deliver viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate navigation and enable the correct display of our websites.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are generally set to accept cookies. You can disable the use of cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work properly if you disable cookies.

Contact Form

If you contact us by email or contact form for any inquiries, you voluntarily give us your consent for the purpose of contacting you. A valid email address is required for this purpose. This is used to assign the request and to respond to it. The provision of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions. After your inquiry has been handled, personal data is automatically deleted.

Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To display our content correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible — currently unclear whether and for what purposes — that the operators of such libraries collect data.

You can find Google's privacy policy here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about the use of map features by visitors. For more information about data processing by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center.

Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found there.

Embedded YouTube Videos

Some of our web pages include YouTube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Anyone who has disabled the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will also not have to expect such cookies when viewing YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

For more information on data protection at "YouTube", see the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social Plugins

Our websites use social plugins from the providers listed below. You can recognize the plugins by their corresponding logo.

Through these plugins, information — which may include personal data — may be sent to and potentially used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a two-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking the corresponding button. Only by activating the plugin will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We ourselves do not collect personal data via social plugins or through their use.

We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. It must currently be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services is established and at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. There is also the possibility that the service providers try to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy policies of the respective service providers to learn which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook may identify you as a visitor of a specific page.

We have integrated social media buttons from the following companies on our website:

Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA
The Facebook plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the “Like Button” on our page.
