Scope of application
This privacy policy provides users with information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider.
The legal framework for data protection is provided by the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).
Collection of general information
Each time this website is accessed, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
The information collected includes Name of the website, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our website) and the IP address.
Without this data, it would not be technically possible in some cases to deliver and display the content of the website. In this respect, the collection of data is absolutely necessary. We also use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. It helps us to optimize our offering and technology. We also reserve the right to check the log files retrospectively if we suspect illegal use of our website.
Dealing with personal data
Definition: Personal data is any information that can be used to uniquely identify a person. It is therefore data that can be traced back to a person.
This personal data includes the first name and surname, telephone number and e-mail address. Personal data also includes information on hobbies, memberships and preferences as well as websites that have been accessed.
This data is only collected, used and, if necessary, passed on by the provider if this is expressly permitted by law or if the user consents to the collection, processing, use and passing on of the data.
Registration on our website
If you register on our website in order to make use of personalized services, personal data will be collected. This includes your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address as contact and communication data.
Registration enables access to services and content that are only available to registered users. If required, registered users have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time. On request, we will of course inform you which personal data has been collected and stored. In addition, we will correct or delete the data on request, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. Please use the contact details provided in this privacy policy if you have any questions or wish to correct or delete your data.
Provision of chargeable services
We request additional data so that we can provide chargeable services. This applies, for example, to payment details.
To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we work with encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS, which reflect the current state of the art.
Contact form
If you contact us via the online form or by e-mail, we will store the information you provide in order to answer your inquiry and ask any follow-up questions.
Integration of third-party services and content
Our website sometimes includes content and services from other providers. This includes, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube and graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be accessed and displayed in the user’s browser, the transmission of the IP address is mandatory. The providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) therefore perceive the IP address of the respective user.
Even if we endeavor to only use third-party providers who only need the IP address to be able to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process is used for statistical purposes, among other things. If we are aware that the IP address is stored, we will inform our users accordingly.
cookies
This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer by the server. They contain information about your browser, IP address, operating system and Internet connection. We do not pass this data on to third parties or link it to personal data without your consent.
Cookies fulfill two main tasks. They help us to make it easier for you to navigate through our website and enable the website to be displayed correctly. They are not used to introduce viruses or start programs.
Users have the option of accessing our website without cookies. To do this, the corresponding settings must be changed in the browser. Please use the help function of your browser to find out how to deactivate cookies. However, we would like to point out that this may impair some of the functions of this website and limit the ease of use. The websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ (Europe) allow you to manage online advertising cookies.
Google AdWords
This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and, as part of this, conversion tracking. Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet 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. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers.
The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers find out 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 any information with which users can be personally identified.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can easily deactivate the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can find out more about this in Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
Data minimization
In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimization, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary or required by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose of the information collected no longer applies or if the storage period ends, we block or delete the data.
Your rights to information, correction, blocking, deletion and objection
You have the right to request information free of charge about the personal data stored by us and/or to request that it be corrected, blocked or deleted. Exceptions: Data storage is required for business transactions or the data is subject to statutory retention obligations.
For these purposes, please contact our data protection officer (contact details: at the end of the privacy policy).
In order to be able to take a data lock into account at any time, it is necessary to keep the data in a lock file for control purposes. If there is no statutory archiving obligation, you can also request the deletion of the data. Otherwise, we will block the data if you so wish.
Changes to our privacy policy
In order to ensure that our privacy policy always complies with the current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies in the event that the privacy policy has to be adapted due to new or revised services, for example new services. The new privacy policy will then apply the next time you visit our website.
