Privacy policy

We would like to take this opportunity to inform you about what happens to your personal data and what security measures we take. Furthermore, we would like to inform you about your statutory rights in connection with the processing of this data.

Data collection and processing
We do not collect or process any personal data from you when you visit our website. Only information about the name of your provider and the web pages you call up from us, as well as information about the date and time of the call-up, are stored in a log file and evaluated for statistical purposes. This is not personal data. It is not possible to assign the collected data to a specific natural person. As an Internet user, you remain absolutely anonymous.

Cookies
In order to make our offer more user-friendly and secure, so-called cookies are occasionally used on our websites. These are small text files that are stored locally on your computer by your web browser, provided that your browser is activated for storing cookies. It is not possible to assign cookies to specific natural persons. Cookies do not contain any personal data.

Personal data
Personal data is only collected by us if you provide it to us voluntarily, for example in the context of an enquiry by e-mail, telephone or when visiting in-house or trade fairs. Please note that e-mails to us cannot be sent in encrypted form. Therefore, there is a possibility that unauthorised third parties may read this data during transmission. For a secure transmission of data, it is possible to use alternative communication channels. You will find the corresponding letter and fax addresses in the imprint. All personal data that we obtain from you in the course of using our website will only be collected, processed and used for the stated purpose. In doing so, we ensure that this only takes place within the framework of the applicable legal provisions or only with your consent. Data will only be passed on to third parties without your consent if we are legally obliged to do so.

Right to information
You have the right to be informed about your stored data, about the origin and recipients of your data as well as about the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. For questions, information, correction, blocking or deletion of data as well as revocation of given consents, please use the contact details given in the imprint.

Security
In order to protect the personal data stored by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons, we have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures. The measures are constantly reviewed and adapted to new security standards.

YouTube
Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. Since we usually embed YouTube videos in extended data protection mode, the connection to the YouTube server is only established when you play the video. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Matomo (formerly PIWIK)
Our website uses Motamo, an open-source web analysis tool (http://de.piwik.org), to collect and store data for marketing and optimisation purposes. The data collected with Motamo will not be used to personally identify the visitor to this website without the separately granted consent of the person concerned, nor will it be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym. You can object to the use of your data with effect for the future if you do not want your data to be collected and used. To do this, remove the tick in the cookie banner under “Motamo Analytics” in the privacy settings.

Google Analytics
This website uses the “Google Analytics” service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyse website usage by users. The service uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your terminal device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation is used on this website. The IP address of the user is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. Under the terms of the data sharing agreement between the website operators and Google Inc., Google Inc. uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and activity and to provide services relating to internet usage.
You have the option of preventing the cookie from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
Furthermore, you can use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. The following link will take you to the corresponding plugin: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
