Data protection

As website operators, we take the protection of all personal data very seriously. All personal information is treated confidentially and in accordance with the legal regulations, as explained in this data protection declaration.

Our website can, of course, be used without you providing any personal data. However, if at any time personal data such as name, address or e-mail is requested, this will be done on a voluntary basis. Never will data collected by us be passed on to third parties without your specific permission.

Data transmission on the Internet, such as via e-mail, can always have security gaps. Complete protection of data is not possible on the Internet.

Information, deletion, blocking

At any time, you can obtain information about the personal data, its origin and recipients and the benefits of data processing and request free of charge a correction, blocking or deletion of this data. Please use the contact channels indicated in the imprint for this purpose. We are also available at any time for further questions on this topic.

Server log files

The site provider automatically collects and stores data in server log files that are transmitted to us by your browser. This data includes:

– Browser type/ browser version

– Operating system of the computer

– Referrer URL

– Host name of the accessing computer

– Time of the server request

These data are not personal. This data is not merged with other data sources. If we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use, we reserve the right to check this data retrospectively.

Cookies

Many Internet pages use cookies. Cookies are harmless to your computer and virus-free. They are used to make Internet offers friendlier, more effective and safer for visitors to a website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and used by your browser.

We usually use so-called „session cookies“. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. Other cookies remain stored on your computer until you delete them. These cookies help to recognize your computer on your next visit.

If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Furthermore, we use an anonymized evaluation with the help of the Matomo plugin. The evaluation can be terminated by you. You can find more information and the Matomo privacy policy at the end of our privacy policy.

Our privacy policy may be amended at irregular intervals to comply with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services, e.g. when new offers are added. The new privacy policy will then automatically apply to your next visit.
