Purposes of Data Processing by the Responsible Body and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  • you have given your explicit consent,

  • the processing is necessary for the execution of a contract with you,

  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,

the processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various statutory retention periods. Once the respective purpose ceases to apply or these periods expire, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as your IP address, browser used, operating system, and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer. Using the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable the correct display of our web pages.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked with personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly configured to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via the settings of your browser. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you deactivate the use of cookies.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Contact Form

If you contact us by email or via a contact form with questions of any kind, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. A valid email address is required for this purpose. This is used to assign the request and subsequently respond to it. Providing additional data is optional.

The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and for possible follow-up questions. After your request has been processed, personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, data about the use of the map functions by visitors is also collected, processed, and used by Google.

You can find more information about data processing by Google in Google’s privacy policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center.

Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here as well.

Social Plugins

We offer you the possibility to use so-called “social media buttons” on our website. To protect your data, we use the “Shariff” solution for implementation. As a result, these buttons are only integrated on the website as graphics that contain a link to the corresponding website of the button provider.

By clicking on the graphic, you will be redirected to the services of the respective providers. Only then will your data be transmitted to the respective providers. If you do not click the graphic, no exchange of data between you and the providers of the social media buttons will take place.

Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the corresponding providers.

More information about the Shariff solution can be found here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

We have integrated social media buttons from the following companies on our website:

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
