Privacy Policy

The operators of these pages (contact and further company details above) take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as title, name, telephone, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Server Log Files
The web host of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type, browser version, and possibly operating system, referrer URL, IP address, time and status codes of the request. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to subsequently check this data if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

Basic Cookies
"Cookies" are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different data can be stored within the cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store the information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit within an online offer. As temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", cookies are referred to, which are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes their browser. In such a cookie, e.g., the content of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status can be stored. As "permanent" or "persistent" are referred to cookies, which remain stored even after closing the browser. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit it after several days. Similarly, such a cookie can store the interests of users used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. As "third-party cookie" are referred to cookies offered by providers other than the responsible person who operates the online offer (otherwise, if they are only its cookies, they are called "first-party cookies").

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. Excluding cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer may be used then.

We use the "session cookie" "fe_typo_user" to secure our form against spam. This cookie is usually automatically deleted when closing the browser.

Advanced Cookies
This website uses Google Tag Manager. Through this service, website tags can be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means: no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in effect for all tracking tags, provided they are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC ("Google"), on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer, and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and the internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on data use by Google, setting and opt-out options, can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

The personal data of users are deleted or anonymized after 14 months.
