Purposes of Data Processing by the Responsible Entity and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We only share your personal data with third parties if:

You have given your explicit consent,
The processing is necessary to process a contract with you,
The processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation,
The processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest in not having your data disclosed.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. Therefore, we store your personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various legal retention periods. After the respective purpose ceases to apply or after the expiry of these periods, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

Provision of Paid Services

For the provision of paid services, we will request additional data, such as payment details, to process your order. We store this data in our systems until the legal retention periods have expired. We do not store credit card data.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption techniques (such as SSL) via HTTPS.

Based on your explicitly given consent, we will regularly send you our newsletter or similar information via email to your specified email address.

To receive the newsletter, providing your email address is sufficient. When signing up for our newsletter, the data you provide will only be used for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g., changes to the newsletter offering or technical conditions).
For effective registration, we require a valid email address. To verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of an email address, we use the "double opt-in" procedure. Here, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email, and the receipt of the requested response. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for newsletter distribution and is not passed on to third parties.
You can revoke your consent to store your personal data and its use for newsletter distribution at any time. A corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. You can also unsubscribe directly on this website or communicate your request to us using the contact information provided at the end of this privacy policy.

Contact Form

If you contact us via email or contact form for any inquiries, you voluntarily provide us with your consent for the purpose of contacting you. A valid email address is required for this purpose. This serves to assign the request and subsequently respond to it. The provision of additional data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for processing the request and for possible follow-up questions. Personal data will be automatically deleted after your request has been processed.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer to help analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet use for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about the use of the map functions by visitors. More information on Google's data processing can be found in Google’s privacy policy. You can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center.

Embedded YouTube Videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed about 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.

Social Plugins

Social plugins from various providers are used on our websites. The plugins are recognizable by the corresponding logos.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you accessed our website via a Google ad, a cookie is set by Google AdWords. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve personal identification. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the necessary setting of a cookie—e.g., via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to adjust this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes in our services.
