We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest! Protecting your privacy when using our website is important to us, so please note the information below about how we handle your data:

1) Basic Information on Handling Personal Data

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Every time our website is accessed, usage data is transmitted by the respective Internet browser and stored in log files, the so-called server log files, such as the date and time of the call, name of the page called up, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is only used to ensure trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offer.

Personal data is collected if you voluntarily provide it to us to execute a contract or open a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. A deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done by sending a message to the contact option described below. We store and use the data you provide to process the contract. After the contract has been completed or your customer account has been deleted, your data will be blocked with regard to retention periods under tax and commercial law, and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or have reserved the right to further data use permitted by law on our part about which we will inform you accordingly below.

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively to answer your request or to contact you and the associated technical administration. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, provided that you wish this and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements. In addition, personal data is collected when you register for our email newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending us a message. After you have unsubscribed, your e-mail address will be deleted immediately from our newsletter distribution list.

2) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us or our partner companies to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and
decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

3) Use of Social Plugins

Our website uses so-called social plugins („plugins“) from the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA („Facebook“). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition „Social Plugin from Facebook“ or „Facebook Social Plugin“. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins If you call up a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook here. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can immediately assign your visit to our website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the „Like“ button or making a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be published on your Facebook profile and shown to your Facebook friends. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook’s data protection information: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php

If you do not want Facebook to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Facebook plugins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. the script blocker „NoScript“ (http://noscript.net/).
