Cookies
Like many other websites, we use “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This allows us to automatically receive certain data, such as your IP address, the browser used, operating system, and your internet connection.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. The information contained in cookies enables us to facilitate your navigation and ensure the proper display of our website.
Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually configured to accept cookies. You can disable the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use your browser’s help function to learn how to change these settings. Please note that certain features of our website may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
Provision of Paid Services
For the provision of paid services, we collect additional data, such as payment information.
SSL Encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.
Newsletter
When subscribing to our newsletter, the data you provide is used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g., changes to the newsletter offering or technical updates).
To register effectively, we require a valid email address. To verify that a subscription is actually made by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. This involves logging the subscription request, sending a confirmation email, and waiting for the response. No further data is collected. The data is used solely for sending newsletters and will not be shared with third parties.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for the newsletter at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding unsubscribe link. Alternatively, you can contact us using the details provided at the end of this privacy policy.
Contact Form
If you contact us via email or a contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and for possible follow-up questions.
Deletion or Blocking of Data
We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data avoidance. We therefore store your personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by law. Once the purpose is fulfilled or the statutory retention periods expire, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure cross-browser compatibility and visually appealing content, we use script libraries and font libraries, such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser cache to prevent multiple downloads. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.
The use of script or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library’s provider. It is possible that the provider collects data; however, the specific purposes remain unclear.

Use of Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google collects, processes, and uses data related to map usage by visitors. More information on Google’s data processing can be found in Google’s privacy policy. You can also manage your personal privacy settings in Google’s privacy center.
Embedded YouTube Videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our webpages. The operator of the relevant plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed about which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

Social Plugins
Our website uses “social media buttons.” For data protection, we implement the “Shariff” solution, which embeds these buttons as simple graphics that link to the respective provider’s website. Only after clicking a button will data be transmitted to the provider. If you do not click these graphics, there is no exchange of data between you and the social media providers.
Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, block, or delete your personal data at any time, as long as it is not subject to statutory retention requirements. For any concerns, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided below.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update this privacy policy to reflect changes in legal requirements or to incorporate changes in our services. The updated privacy policy will apply to your next visit.
