Privacy policy

Scope

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

Every time this website is accessed, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also referred to as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

Among other things, the following is recorded: 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 offer and technology. We also reserve the right to check the log files retrospectively if we suspect illegal use of our website.

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 that reflect the current state of the art.

Newsletter

If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data you enter exclusively for this purpose or to inform you of circumstances relevant to this service or registration. We do not pass this data on to third parties.

A valid (valid) email address is required to receive the newsletter. We also store the IP address you use to register for the newsletter and the date on which you subscribe to the newsletter. This data serves as proof in the event of misuse if a third-party e-mail address is registered for the newsletter. In addition, to ensure that an e-mail address is not misused by third parties in our mailing list, we work with the so-called double opt-in procedure in accordance with the law. As part of this procedure, the newsletter order, the sending of the confirmation email and the receipt of the registration confirmation are logged.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the storage of the data, your email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. We provide you with a link for revocation in every newsletter and on the website. You also have the option of informing us of your wish to withdraw your consent via the contact options specified in this document.

Contact form

If you contact us via the online form or by email, 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 offering sometimes includes content, services and benefits 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.

Although 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 being stored, we will inform our users of this.
