Like many other websites, we also use so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files, which are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This means that we automatically receive certain data like for instance IP-address, used browser, operating system and your connection to the internet.

Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transmit viruses to your computer. With the information contained in the cookies, we can simplify navigation and guarantee the correct display of our website.

In no case will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or connections made to personal data without your consent.

Recipient

Recipients of the data may be data processors.

Storage period

Data will generally be deleted at the latest 6 months after processing the request, unless in certain cases individual declarations of consent by the affected person for a continued storage exist or we as a company are obliged by other legal norms to a continued storage.

In case a contractual relationship is established, we are subject to the statutory retention periods according to the German Commercial Code (HGB) or other legal norms and will delete your data after the expiry of these periods.

Required or necessary provision

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. We can, however, only process your request if you disclose your name, email address and the reason for your request.

The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You can furthermore prevent the collection of data created by the cookie regarding your website usage (including your IP address) for Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: browser add on for deactivating Google Analytics.

Additionally, or as an alternative to the browser add on, you can stop tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link. An opt out cookie will then be installed on your device.
