Privacy Policy
As a user of our website, you will receive all necessary information in this Privacy Policy about how, to what extent, and for what purposes we or third parties collect and use your data. The collection and use of your data is strictly in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We are particularly committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits set by legal regulations. The collection of personal data is carried out on a voluntary basis, whenever possible. We also share this data with third parties only with your explicit consent. For highly sensitive data such as payment transactions or your inquiries to us, we use SSL encryption to ensure high security. However, we would like to point out the general risks of using the internet, which are beyond our control. Particularly in email communication, your data is not secure without additional precautions and may be captured by third parties.
Access, Deletion, Blocking
You have the right to request free information about the personal data we store about you, as well as its source, recipient, and purpose of data collection and processing. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your data. Exceptions to this are data that must be retained due to legal regulations or are necessary for proper business operations. To enable data blocking at any time, data is stored in a blocking file for control purposes. If data is not subject to legal archiving obligations, we will delete your data upon your request. If archiving obligations apply, we will block your data. For any questions or concerns about the correction, blocking, or deletion of personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details in this Privacy Policy or the address provided in the imprint.
Cookies

Cookies collect data about your IP address, browser, operating system, and internet connection. We do not link this information to personal data or share it with third parties. Under no circumstances will we use cookies to introduce harmful or spy programs onto your computer. You can also use our website without cookies, although some displays and functions of our offerings may be limited. If you wish to disable cookies, you can do so through your browser’s settings.

Provision of Paid Services
If you wish to use the paid services offered on our website, we may need to collect additional data from you for billing purposes and security reasons. This usually includes your name, a valid email address, and possibly your address and phone number, as well as other information depending on the specific case. This may also include content that allows us to verify the provided data, such as ownership of the provided email address. For legal reasons, we must ensure that you actually wish to receive the offered services and that we can correctly invoice you for them. We use SSL encryption standards to secure your data during payment transactions, indicated by the browser line “https://.”
Collection of Access Data
The delivery and display of content on our website requires the technical collection of certain data. When you access our website, these so-called server log files are collected by us or the provider of the webspace. These log files do not allow us to draw any conclusions about you or your identity. The relevant information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the amount of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet provider, the referrer URL (the page from which you arrived on our site), and the corresponding IP address. We use this data for the display and delivery of our content, as well as for statistical purposes. The information supports the provision and ongoing improvement of our offerings. We also reserve the right to review the mentioned data at a later stage if there is a suspicion of unlawful use of our offerings.
Third-Party Content and Services
The offerings on our website may also include content, services, and features from other providers that complement our offerings. Examples of such offerings include Google Maps, YouTube videos, or third-party graphics. Accessing these services from third parties usually requires the transmission of your IP address. This enables these providers to recognize and store your user IP address. We make every effort to include only those third-party providers who use IP addresses solely for the delivery of content. However, we have no influence over whether a third party stores the IP address. Such storage may, for example, be for statistical purposes. If we become aware of storage activities by third parties, we will immediately inform our users. Please also take note of the specific privacy policies of individual third-party providers and service providers whose services we use on our website. These can also be found in this privacy policy.
Newsletter
You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website. We require your email address for this purpose. Additionally, in compliance with applicable legal regulations, we must verify whether you are indeed the owner of the provided email address and whether you wish to receive the newsletter. Therefore, we collect information that enables this verification. The data collected for this purpose is used solely for the sending and receiving of the newsletter. It has no other purpose and will not be shared with third parties. No other data is collected by us except for the information necessary for the newsletter dispatch. Since the sending and receiving of the newsletter is based on your consent, you can withdraw this consent for the collection and storage of your data at any time, without providing reasons. Use the “unsubscribe link” provided in the newsletter to do so.
Personal Data
We collect personal data in accordance with the principles of data minimization and data economy, only to the extent necessary for the use of our website or as required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and comply with the relevant legal regulations and this privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of data collection no longer applies or the legal retention period expires, the collected data will be blocked or deleted. Our website can generally be used without the provision of personal data. When we collect personal data, such as your name, address, or email address, this collection is voluntary. Without your express consent, this data will not be disclosed to third parties. Please note that data transmitted over the internet is not always secure. Particularly in email communication, data protection during transmission cannot be guaranteed.
Server Logfiles
Server logfiles are anonymized data collected when you access our website. These details do not allow us to draw conclusions about your identity, but they are essential for the technical delivery and display of our content. They also serve our statistics and the continuous optimization of our content. Typical logfiles include the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the browser used for access and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of the provider, the page from which you accessed our site (referrer URL), and your IP address. Logfiles also allow for precise examination in case of suspected unlawful use of our website.
SSL Encryption
Our website uses SSL encryption when transmitting confidential or personal content from our users. This encryption is activated, for example, during payment transactions and when you submit inquiries through our website. Please ensure that SSL encryption is activated during such activities on your part. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: the display in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://”. Data transmitted via SSL encryption is not readable by third parties. Only transmit your confidential information when SSL encryption is activated, and contact us if in doubt.
Objection to Advertising Emails
In compliance with the legal obligation to provide an imprint, we are required to publish our contact information. These details are sometimes used by third parties to send unsolicited advertisements and information. We hereby object to the unsolicited sending of advertising material of any kind that has not been explicitly authorized by us. We also reserve the right to take legal action against the unwanted and unsolicited sending of advertising material. This specifically applies to so-called spam emails, spam letters, and spam faxes. We point out that unauthorized transmission of advertising material can involve both competition law, civil law, and criminal offenses. Specifically, spam emails and spam faxes can lead to significant compensation claims if they disrupt business operations by overloading email inboxes or fax machines.
Encrypted Payment Transactions
We protect your data during payment transactions. Therefore, our site uses SSL encryption for security purposes and to protect your confidential and personal content during transmission in payment transactions. You can determine whether SSL encryption is enabled by checking the address bar in your browser. Only when the regular display of “http://” changes to “https://” is the data transmission encrypted. The “https://” in the browser’s address bar indicates the use of SSL encryption, and payment transactions are now securely encrypted. With SSL encryption enabled, it is impossible for third parties to read your confidential data. Therefore, only transmit your data when SSL encryption is enabled.
