Privacy policy

Scope of application

This data protection declaration is intended to inform the users of this website about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act (“Bundesdatenschutzgesetz und Telemediengesetz” in Germany).

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and according to the legal regulations.

Please bear in mind that data transmission on the Internet can always be subject to security gaps. Full protection against access by third parties is not feasible.

Access data

The website operator collects data about accesses to the site and stores these as “server log files”. The following data is logged in this way:

• Visited website
• Time at the time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you came to the page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used

The data collected is used only for statistical purposes and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Cookies

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website and also enables registered users to access our additional website.

Common browsers offer the option not to accept cookies. Note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.

Handling of personal data

The website operator collects, uses and passes on your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.

Personal data includes all information which serves to determine your person and which can be traced back to you - for example your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

Dealing with contact data

If you contact the website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Dealing with comments and contributions

If you leave a contribution or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This serves the security of the website operator: If your text violates the law, he wants to be able to trace your identity.

Subscriptions

You have the option of subscribing to a newsletter via your valid e-mail address. Beyond that no further data are raised. The stored data will not be passed on to third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes and uses data relating to the use of map functions by visitors. For more information about data processing by Google, please refer to the “Google Privacy Notice”: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html . There you can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection centre.

Detailed instructions for the administration of your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube videos

This website incorporates YouTube videos, which already store cookies in the user’s browser when the page is accessed. If you have deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad Program, you will not have to reckon with such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Rights of the user: Information, correction and deletion

As a user, you will receive free information about which personal data about you has been stored at your request. If your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to correct incorrect data and to block or delete your personal data.
