Data policy

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously.

We therefore treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy. The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data.

Insofar as personal data (for example name, address, telephone number, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. Please note that data transmission over the Internet may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.

When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we collect only the data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • Visited website

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
