Protecting your privacy is important to us. So please take note of the following information about the use of website. If you have further questions about the handling of your personal data, please don't hesitate to contact us.

1) Data collected when visiting our website
If you merely use our website for information, i.e. without registering or providing us with information in other ways, we will only collect the data that your browser sends to our server (so-called "server logfiles"). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which are technically required for us to display the website to you:

• Our visited website
• Date and time of the visit
• Sent data volume in bytes
• Source/link from which you accessed the site
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used (in an anonymized form if required)

The processing complies with GDPR section 6.1.f and is based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. There is no disclosure or other use of the data.

2) Cookies
We use so-called cookies on various pages to make visiting our website attractive and enable the use of specific functions. Cookies are small text files that are stored in your device. Some of the cookies we use will be deleted again after the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies will remain in your device and enable us to recognize your browser at your next visit (persistent cookies). If installed, cookies will collect and process specific user information such as browser, location and IP address data to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted again after a predefined period that can vary depending on the cookie. Please note that you can set-up your browser so that it informs you of the installation of cookies, lets you individually decide about their acceptance, or excludes the acceptance of cookies in general or for specific cases. Every browser has a different way of managing the cookie settings. This is described in very browser's help menu explaining how you can change your cookie settings. You can find them for the various browsers at the following links:

3) Contacting
Personal data will be collected when you contact us (e.g. by contact form or e-mail). Which data will be collected from a contact form is shown in the respective contact form. These data are only stored and used for the purpose of fulfilling your request and/or establishing contact, as well as the attendant technical administration. The legal basis of the data processing is our legitimate interest as per GDPR section 6. 1.f in responding to your request. If the contacting is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, GDPR section 6.1.b is an additional basis for the processing. Your data will be deleted once the processing of your request has been concluded, which is the case as soon as the circumstances permit the conclusion that the issue in question has been conclusively resolved, and no statutory retention periods prevent their deletion.

4) Web analysis services
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", small text files that are stored in your computer and enable your website use to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) are sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there as a rule.

This website only uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()", which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by truncation and excludes its direct traceability to a person. The extension makes Google truncate your IP address beforehand within a member state of the European Union or other state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google will use this information at our behest to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports about website activities, and provide us with further services in connection with website and internet use. The IP address sent by your browser to Google Analytics will not be linked with any other Google data.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by providing your browser software with the corresponding settings, but we need to point out that you may not be able to make full use of all our website's functions in this case. You can also prevent the transfer of the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google and their processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

Google LLC is based in the USA and certified under the US-European data protection framework "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU. More information about the handling of user data by Google Analytics is available from Google's data privacy terms: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
