Below, we therefore inform you in detail and comprehensively about our handling of your data and your rights with regard to your personal data processed by us when you use this website and as a provider of further offers.

B. Data processing in connection with the use of our website

Insofar as personal data (for example name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We point out that data transmission over the Internet (eg communication by e-mail) security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

1. Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.

When you access our website, the browser used on your terminal device automatically sends information to the server or provider of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected and stored until automated deletion:

• IP address of the requesting computer shortened by the last octet,
• Date and time of access,
• Name and URL of the retrieved file,
• Website from which the access is made (referrer URL),
• the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as
• the name of your access provider.

The aforementioned data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection of the website,
• Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,
• Review and ensure system security and stability, and
• for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned purposes of data collection. In no case do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. We delete this data automatically after three months. We do not combine this personal data with other data sources. Disclosure only takes place insofar as this is necessary for the operation of our website, e.g. with the storage at our host provider. A transfer to a third country or to an international organization is not intended.

2. Privacy policy for the use of Facebook plugins

Plugins of the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, are integrated on our pages. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the "Like button" ("Like") on our page. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our pages, a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server is established via the plugin. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages on your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. For more information, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy at de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to be able to assign your visit to our pages to your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.

3. Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form on the website, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact data you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions.

The processing of your personal data serves to answer your inquiry and the purpose of preventing misuse of the contact form and ensuring the security of our IT systems. These processing operations are lawful because responding to your inquiry and protecting our information technology systems constitute legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The personal data will be processed for as long as it is necessary to respond to your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The provision of your personal data in connection with the use of the contact form on our website or the sending of an e-mail to us is voluntary, but a use of the contact form or the sending of an e-mail is not possible without the provision.

4. Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected.

The processing of your e-mail address for this purpose is based exclusively on your consent by entering your e-mail address in the area provided for this purpose in our online presence (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. We do not combine this personal data with other data sources. A transfer to a third country or to an international organization is not intended.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by sending an e-mail to and clicking on the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

5. Google reCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). 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.

The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.
