Privacy Policy

As a user of our website, this privacy policy provides you with all the necessary information about how, to what extent, and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect and use your data. The collection and use of your data is strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We are particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore work strictly within the limits set by legal requirements. The collection of this personal data is voluntary, where possible. We also only pass this data on to third parties with your express consent. We ensure a high level of security for particularly confidential data, such as in payment transactions or with regard to your inquiries to us, by using SSL encryption. However, we would like to take this opportunity to point out the general dangers of using the Internet, over which we have no control. Especially in e-mail correspondence, your data is not secure without further precautions and may be accessed by third parties under certain circumstances.

Information, deletion, blocking

You can obtain information free of charge at any time about the personal data we have stored about you, as well as the origin, recipient, and purpose of data collection and processing. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your data. This does not apply to data that must be retained due to legal regulations or that is required for proper business transactions. To ensure that data can be blocked at any time, data is stored in a block file for control purposes. If data is not subject to a legal archiving obligation, we will delete your data at your request. If the archiving obligation applies, we will block your data. For all questions and concerns regarding the correction, blocking, or deletion of personal data, please contact our data protection officer using the contact details in this privacy policy or at the address given in the legal notice.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These small text files are stored on your PC by our server. They support the display of our website and help you navigate our website.
Cookies collect data about your IP address, your browser, your operating system, and your Internet connection. We do not link this information to personal data and do not pass it on to third parties. Under no circumstances do we use cookies to install malware or spyware on your computer.

You can also use our website without cookies, but this may limit some of the features and functions of our site. If you wish to disable cookies, you can do so via your browser settings. Please use the help function to make the appropriate changes.

You can manage online advertising cookies via the following links:

Collection of access data

The delivery and presentation of content via our website requires the collection of certain data for technical reasons. When you access our website, these so-called server log files are collected by us or the provider of the web space. These log files do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you and your person.

The corresponding 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 as the page from which you switched to our page, and the corresponding IP address.

We use this data to display and deliver our content and for statistical purposes. The information supports the provision and continuous improvement of our services. We also reserve the right to check the aforementioned data retrospectively if there is suspicion of illegal use of our services.

Personal data

We collect personal data in accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimization only to the extent and for as long as it is necessary for the use of our website or as required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and strictly adhere to the relevant legal provisions and this privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of data collection no longer applies or the legal storage period has expired, the collected data will be blocked or deleted.

Our website can generally be used without providing personal data. When we collect personal data—such as your name, address, or email address—this data collection is voluntary. Without your express consent, this data will not be disclosed to third parties.
Please note that data on the Internet is generally not always transmitted securely. Especially in email correspondence, the protection of data during exchange cannot be guaranteed.

Server log files

Server log files contain anonymized data that is collected when you access our website. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally, but is essential for technical reasons for the delivery and display of our content. It is also used for statistical purposes and to continuously optimize our content. Typical log files include the date and time of access, the amount of data, the browser used for access and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your provider, the page from which you came to our site (referrer URL), and your IP address. Log files also enable a thorough investigation in the event of suspected illegal 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, when processing payments and when you submit inquiries to us via our website. Please ensure that SSL encryption is activated on your end for such activities. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: the display in your browser line changes from “http://” to “https://”. Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Only transmit your confidential information with SSL encryption activated and contact us if in doubt.

Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Inc. on our website. This service uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on your PC and enable an analysis of your user behavior in relation to our website. The cookies generate information that is transmitted to a Google server. These servers are usually located in the USA, but comply with agreements on the use of the European Economic Area and shorten your IP address before transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the IP address shortened after transmission to the USA. Google evaluates the transmitted information and provides further services for us as website operators in this context. The IP address determined is not merged with other Google services.

You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by changing your browser settings. However, this may result in display and functional restrictions when using our website.

A browser plug-in also prevents the collection and use of data generated by cookies. You can download it at the following link:

Google Maps plugin

We use a plugin from the Google Maps internet service on our website. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., based in the USA, CA 94043, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View.

When you use Google Maps on our website, information about your use of this website and your IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored on that server. We have no knowledge of the exact content of the data transmitted or its use by Google. In this context, the company denies linking the data with information from other Google services and collecting personal data. However, Google may transmit the information to third parties.

If you deactivate JavaScript in your browser, you will prevent Google Maps from running. However, you will then also be unable to use any map displays on our website.

By using our website, you consent to the collection and processing of information by Google Inc. as described above.

Google+ plugin

We use Google+ features on our website. The social network is provided by Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google+ allows you to publish content globally via its button. You will also be offered personalized content from Google and partner providers. Google stores your rating (+1) for content and information from websites that you clicked on when giving +1.

Your +1 rating may be displayed with your profile name and photo in other Google services. Google collects your 1+ activities in total. This collection serves to optimize and personalize Google’s offerings for you. To use the Google+ platform, you create a globally visible profile under a name of your choice. The chosen name is also used for other Google services. Anyone who knows your email address can access your Google+ profile.

Google uses the collected data in accordance with its privacy policy, among other things, to compile statistics that are passed on to partner companies in summary form or used in other ways. Details on the use of data and the privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. The link also contains information on how to customize your privacy settings on Google+.

Twitter plugin

We also use features of the microblogging service Twitter on our website. Twitter is operated by Twitter Inc. The US company is based in the USA, San Francisco, CA 94103, 1355 Market St, Suite 900.

The main function of Twitter is the “tweet function.” If you use this function via our website, a link to your Twitter account will be established. This may result in data being exchanged with other users and transferred to Twitter. We do not receive any information about the content of the data sent to Twitter, nor are we informed about its use. For more information on these issues, please visit https://twitter.com/privacy. There you will find Twitter’s detailed privacy policy. The platform also offers you the option of configuring your own privacy settings at https://twitter.com/account/settings.

XING plugin

We use functions from XING, a network that aims to promote professional contacts between its members, on our website. This network is provided by XING AG, which is based at Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg.

When one of our pages with XING functions is accessed, a connection to XING servers is established. We are not aware that XING stores personal data. To the best of our knowledge, XING does not evaluate IP addresses or store them.

If you would like more information about XING’s data protection policy, you can access the XING privacy policy at https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection. There you can also find out more about the XING share button.
