Using the following information, we will explain how we and our partners (e.g. web hosts) process your personal data (your name, your email address etc.) in connection with the use of our website.

1. Data collection and use

The protection of your data is very important to us. All personal data collected on our website will only be processed if this is necessary to ensure the functionality and use of the content of our website.

The access data are processed exclusively for the purposes of the functionality, security and optimization of our website. The access data is only accessible to the administrators. Deletion is usually automated after 7 to 30 days.

We use cookies on our website to make the website more user-friendly. Cookies are data that the visited website or its server stores on your computer via the browser in order to recognize them later. Cookies are used to display complex and dynamic content, to recognize you when you next visit our website or to increase user friendliness. The cookies are deleted immediately after closing your browser or automatically removed from your computer's hard drive after a certain time.

By configuring your browser accordingly, you can prevent the installation of cookies at any time or display a warning before accepting a cookie and thus determine yourself whether you want to allow cookies or not. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. The following pages contain instructions on how cookies can be managed, depending on the browser:

• Google Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari Desktop
• Safari Mobile
• Microsoft Edge
• Internet Explorer
• Opera

Our website can generally be used without accepting cookies, but then certain content can only be used to a limited extent or not at all.

By accessing our website without first blocking cookies, you consent to the use of cookies as described above.

Contact by email or form

If you contact us via e-mail or form, the data will be transmitted to the recipient intended for further processing and saved. We use the information you voluntarily provide (e.g. name, email address, telephone number, question) only to process your request and involve the relevant internal bodies and people in this regard. Data will only be passed on to third parties on the basis of a legal authorization or after obtaining your explicit consent.

We would like to point out that communication with us via email or contact form does not take place via a secure or encrypted data connection. This means that your data may be lost during the dispatch or may be visible to unauthorized persons. Contacting us by e-mail or form is therefore at your own risk, in this context we assume no responsibility and reject any liability claims made in this regard.

By contacting us by email or form, you explicitly consent to the data processing described.

Third party tools and plug-ins

By visiting our website, you agree to the data processing described below.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of user behavior on our website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there after it has been anonymized beforehand using the anonymizeip method. Due to the anonymization, the transmitted information can no longer be assigned to a connection (especially not to your IP address).

Google uses this information, in particular to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. The data stored at Google at user and event level will be deleted from the analytics servers after 14 months.

You can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics with future effect by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics.

2. Rights of website users

You have the right to request information about the processing of your personal data at any time free of charge. To do this, contact the office named in the imprint. Other rights such as the right to data deletion, data correction, restriction of data processing and the right to data transfer exist within the statutory framework.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website. There is therefore no right of objection on the part of the users of our website.
