Privacy Policy
Data Protection
Below, we provide information about the collection of personal data when you use our website.
The term “personal data” refers to all data that can be linked to you personally. This includes, for example, your name, address, email addresses, and user behavior. With regard to other terms, in particular the terms “processing” and “consent,” we refer you to the legal definitions under data protection law.
We generally process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website and the content and services we offer. The processing of personal data generally takes place only if you have given us your consent or if the processing is permitted by law. Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Data may also be stored if required by national or European regulations to which we are subject. In this case, the data will be blocked or deleted once the retention period prescribed by the respective regulations has expired. The latter does not apply if further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
To the extent that we use third-party service providers for specific functions of our website or wish to use your data for advertising purposes, we will provide you with detailed information about the respective processes below.

SSL Encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar. When SSL encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
Within our online offering, we use third-party content or services based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Content”). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content collect users’ IP addresses, as they would be unable to send the content to users’ browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics) for statistical or marketing purposes. These “pixel tags” allow information—such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website—to be analyzed. This information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit, and other details regarding the use of our online service; it may also be linked to such information from other sources.
The following list provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on data processing and—as mentioned in some cases above—options to object (so-called “opt-out” options):

“This website uses the Google Maps product from Google Inc. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of automatically collected data by Google Inc., its agents, and third parties. The Google Maps Terms of Service can be found at Google Maps Terms of Service.”
