Privacy Policy

The protection of your data is very important for us

Thank you for visiting our website. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and therefore aim not only to offer you a comprehensive online offering, but also to safeguard your right to informational self-determination. The statutory basis for this is formed by the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

What do we do with your data?

We process and use the personal data that you enter on a voluntary basis within our Internet offering to maintain customer relations, for our advertising and for order handling. If necessary, the data required are passed on to service providers. We will, however, never sell your data to third parties or market them in any other way.

When do we collect, process and used your personal data?

Every time a user accesses a page of our offering and every time a file is called up, access data of this process are stored by us and in some cases by third parties in the form of protocol files. Each data set consists of:

  • The website from which you access our website.
  • The IP address.
  • The access date and access time.
  • The query by the client.
  • The http reply code.
  • The data volume transmitted.
  • The information on the browser and the operating system used by you.

For example, the above data are collected and saved on this page using technologies from Google Inc. for marketing and optimization purposes. User profiles are then created under a pseudonym using these data. Cookies can be used for this purpose. Without the express permission of the person concerned, the data collected using the Google Inc. technologies are not used to identify the visitors to this website personally and are not merged with personal data on the holder of the pseudonym. The data collection and storage can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Where the Internet offers the possibility of entering personal or business data (e.g. e-mail addresses, names, addresses), these data are disclosed by the user on an expressly voluntary basis. We use the personal data disclosed here only for the purpose for which they were submitted. During the course of the processing of your enquiries or orders and your use of our services, we sometimes employ sub-contractors who receive the data necessary only for the execution of this order and who use the data only for the intended purpose. Furthermore, the service providers are contractually obliged to comply with this data protection declaration.

What possibilities do I have to oppose the storage of data?

You have the right to request - free of charge - information on the personal data stored about your person. In addition you have a right of objection to the utilization or transfer of your data for advertising purposes under the German Federal Data Protection Act. Furthermore you have a right to correction, blocking and deletion of these personal data in line with the statutory provisions. In such cases, please contact us in writing or by e-mail.
