Additionally, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. More information can be found in the subsequent sections of this privacy policy.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use cookies. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically gives us certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system, and your connection to the internet.

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or transmit viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable the proper display of our website.

The data collected by us will not be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

You can, of course, view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. You can disable the use of cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please use your browser’s help function to learn how to change these settings. Please note that certain features of our website may not work if cookies are disabled.

Registration on Our Website

When registering to use personalized services, some personal data is collected, such as your name, address, contact, and communication details like your telephone number and email address. Once you are registered, you can access content and services that we offer only to registered users. Registered users also have the option to modify or delete the data provided during registration at any time. We are happy to provide information about the personal data we have stored about you. We will also correct or delete your data upon request, as long as there are no legal retention obligations preventing this. Please contact us using the contact details provided at the end of this privacy policy.

Provision of Paid Services

For the provision of paid services, we will ask for additional data, such as payment information, to process your order. We store this data in our systems until the legal retention periods have expired.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption techniques (such as SSL) over HTTPS.

Comment Function

When users leave comments on our website, the time of creation and the username previously chosen by the website visitor are stored along with the comment. This is for our security, as we may be held liable for any illegal content on our website, even if created by users.

Newsletter

Based on your explicit consent, we will regularly send you our newsletter or similar information via email to your specified email address.

To receive the newsletter, providing your email address is sufficient. When you subscribe to our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers can also be informed via email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offering or technical conditions).

For a valid registration, we need a valid email address. To verify that a registration has been made by the owner of an email address, we use the „double opt-in“ procedure. For this, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email, and the receipt of the requested response. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. A corresponding link is included in each newsletter. You can also unsubscribe directly on this website or notify us of your request via the contact details provided at the end of this privacy notice.

Contact Form

If you contact us by email or contact form regarding any questions, you give us your voluntary consent to be contacted. A valid email address is required for this purpose, so that we can assign the inquiry and subsequently respond to it. The provision of additional data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions. Once your request has been handled, personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses „cookies,“ text files stored on your computer, which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purpose of data processing is to evaluate the use of the website and compile reports on website activities. Other services related to the use of the website and the internet will be provided based on this. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add-on for Disabling Google Analytics.

Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries, such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a default font.

The call of script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – although unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Embedded YouTube Videos

On some of our websites, we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the relevant plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your browsing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider sets cookies that collect information about user behavior.

If you have disabled the saving of cookies for the Google ad program, you will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at „YouTube“ can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you accessed our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google-served ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected through the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the necessary cookie setting – for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain „googleleadservices.com“.

Please note that you should not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want any data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must reset the respective opt-out cookie.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function is intended to display interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A „cookie“ is stored in the visitor’s browser, allowing the visitor to be recognized when visiting websites that belong to Google’s advertising network. On these pages, the visitor can be presented with advertisements related to content previously viewed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function.

According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you still do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can disable it by adjusting the corresponding settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative.

Use of Facebook Remarketing

We use the „Custom Audiences“ remarketing function of Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA; „Facebook“) on our website. This function serves the purpose of targeting visitors to the website with interest-based advertising on the Facebook social network. The Facebook remarketing tag has been implemented on this website. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit the website. Facebook is thereby informed that you have visited our website. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you visit Facebook, personalized, interest-based Facebook ads will be displayed to you. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the above-mentioned purpose under Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. You have the right to object to this processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. To do this, you can deactivate the Facebook remarketing function „Custom Audiences“ here. For more information on data collection and use by Facebook, your rights in this regard, and ways to protect your privacy, please refer to the Facebook privacy policy.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to comply with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, such as introducing new services. The new privacy policy will apply to your subsequent visits.
