Privacy

 We would like to point out that internet-based data transmission has security gaps, making complete protection against access by third parties impossible.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website to recognize repeated use of our services by the same user/internet connection owner. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser saves on your computer. They are used to optimize our website and our services. These are mostly so-called „session cookies,“ which are deleted after your visit.
However, some of these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and provide you with easier access to our site.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser accordingly; however, we would like to point out that if you do this, you may not be able to use all of the functions of our website to their full extent.

Registration function

We offer you the opportunity to register on our website. The data entered during this registration, which can be seen in the input mask of the registration form,

First name, last name, address, email, phone number, request, comments and uploaded data

are collected and stored exclusively for the use of our services. When you register on our site, we will also save your IP address and the date and time of your registration. This serves as a safeguard on our part in the event that a third party misuses your data and registers on our site using this data without your knowledge. Your data will not be passed on to third parties. The data collected in this way will also not be compared with data that may be collected by other components of our site.

Contact options

We offer you the opportunity to contact us via email and/or a contact form on our website. In this case, the information provided by the user will be stored for the purpose of processing their contact request. It will not be passed on to third parties. The data collected in this way will also not be compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

Comment option

We offer you the opportunity to leave comments on individual posts on our website. The IP address of the author/account holder is stored. This storage is for our security in the event that the author’s comment infringes on the rights of third parties and/or posts illegal content. Therefore, we have a vested interest in the author’s stored data, especially since we may be held liable for such violations. Data will not be passed on to third parties. The data collected in this way will also not be compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

Use of Google Analytics with anonymization function

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as „Google“. Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, location and frequency of your website visits, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.

We use Google Analytics on our website with the extension „_gat._anonymizeIp“. In this case, your IP address will already be shortened and thus anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

According to its own statements, Google will in no case associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website.

Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation add-on for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over what data is collected by Google on the websites you visit. The add-on tells the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the Google Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. For more information about installing the browser add-on, please visit the following Link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

We would like to point out that you have the right to correct incorrect data or delete personal data, provided that this request does not conflict with any statutory retention obligation.
