When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected using a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and the like. This is solely information that does not allow conclusions about your person.

This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the content you have requested from websites and is mandatory when using the internet. They are processed for the following purposes in particular:
1. Ensuring a problem-free connection to the website,
2. Ensuring smooth use of our website,
3. Evaluation of system security and stability, and
4. For further administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you personally. The recipients of the data are only the data controller and, if applicable, the contract processor.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

If you contact us regarding any questions by email or contact form, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting us. A valid email address is required for this. This serves to assign the request and then answer it. Providing further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions. After your request has been processed, personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on website activities. Based on the use of the website and the internet, further related services will be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add On to deactivate Google Analytics.

In addition to or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser in the future as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to prevent multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font. Accessing script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible–but currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes–that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.

You can find the privacy policy of the library operator Google here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about the use of the map functions by visitors. For more information on data processing by Google, please refer to Google’s data protection notices. There, you can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection center.

Comprehensive instructions on how to manage your data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. So cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers‘ websites. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse to set a cookie required for this–for example, via browser settings that generally disable cookies or set your browser to block cookies from the domain „googleleadservices.com.“

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish to record measurement data. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Changes to our Data Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to adapt this data privacy declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data privacy declaration, e.g., when introducing new services. For your repeated visit, the new data privacy declaration then applies.

Questions to the Data Protection Officer
If you have any questions about data protection, please send us an email.
