COLLECTION OF ACCESS DATA

The delivery and presentation of content via our website technically requires the collection of certain data. With your access to our website, these so-called server log files are recorded 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 site, as well as the corresponding IP address. We use this data to display and deliver our content and for statistical purposes. The information supports the provision and constant improvement of our offer. We also reserve the right to subsequently check the data mentioned if there is a suspicion of illegal use of our offer.

THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND SERVICES

The offer on our website may also include content, services and performance from other providers who supplement our offer. Examples of such offers are maps from Google Maps, YouTube videos or graphics from third parties. Calling up these services from third parties regularly requires the transmission of your IP address. This makes it possible for these providers to perceive your user IP address and to save it. We try very hard to include only those third-party providers who use IP addresses solely to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on which third party stores the IP address. This storage can be used for statistical purposes, for example. Should we become aware of storage processes by third parties, we will inform our users of this fact immediately. In this context, please also note the special data protection declarations for individual third-party providers and service providers whose services we use on our website. You can also find them in this data protection declaration

NEWSLETTER

You can register on our website to receive our newsletter. We need your e-mail address for this. In addition, we must check, in compliance with the relevant legal regulations, whether you are actually the owner of the e-mail address provided and would like to receive the newsletter. We therefore collect information that makes such a check possible. The data collected in this context is used to send and receive the newsletter. They have no other purpose and are not passed on to third parties. Apart from the information required for sending the newsletter, no further data is collected from our side. Since sending and receiving the newsletter depends on your consent, you can revoke this consent to the collection and storage of your data at any time without giving reasons. To do this, use the "unsubscribe link" provided in the newsletter.

PERSONAL DATA

We collect personal data within the framework of data avoidance and data economy 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 regulations and this data protection declaration when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of the data collection no longer applies or if the end of the statutory storage period has been reached, the data collected will be blocked or deleted. Our website can be used regularly without disclosing personal data. If we collect personal data - such as your name, your address or your e-mail address - this data collection is voluntary. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent. Please note that data is generally not always transmitted securely over the Internet. Especially in e-mail traffic, protection during data exchange cannot be guaranteed.

SERVER LOGFILES

The server log files are anonymous data that are recorded when you access our website. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally, but is essential for the delivery and presentation of our content for technical reasons. They also serve our statistics and the constant optimization of our content. Typical log files are 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 the provider you commissioned, the page from which you came to our offer (referrer URL) and your IP address. Log files also enable a precise check to be carried out if there is any suspicion of illegal use of our website.

GOOGLE RECAPTCHA

We use the Google reCaptcha service to determine whether a person or a computer makes a specific entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following data to check whether you are a human or a computer: IP address of the device used, the website that you are visiting and on which the Captcha is integrated, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the device used Browser and operating system type, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks that require you to identify images. The legal basis for the data processing described is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing, to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated input (attacks).

The buttons are ideally designed to protect the personal data of our website visitors, since the script (computer program) behind the buttons does not record or process any personal data.

USING GOOGLE ADWORDS CONVERSION TRACKING

We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and conversion tracking as part of Google AdWords. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain web pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through AdWords advertisers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Here, customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's data protection declaration can be found at: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/, http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

GOOGLE MAPS PLUGIN

We use a plugin of the internet service Google Maps on our website. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., based in the USA, CA 94043, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View. If you use Google Maps on our website, information about the use of this website and your IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and also stored on this server. We have no knowledge of the exact content of the transmitted data, nor of their use by Google. In this context, the company denies the connection of the data with information from other Google services and the collection of personal data. However, Google may transfer the information to third parties. If you disable Javascript in your browser, you prevent Google Maps from running. However, you will then also not be able to use a map display on our website. By using our website, you declare your consent to the described collection and processing of information by Google Inc.
