This privacy policy provides users with information about the nature, extent, and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider.

The legal framework for data protection consists of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

Every time this service is accessed, we or our web space provider automatically collect information. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow for any conclusions about your identity.

Among other things, the following are collected: name of the website, file, date, amount of data, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called Referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our service), and the IP address.

Without this data, it would be technically partly impossible to deliver and display the content of the website. Therefore, the collection of this data is mandatory. Moreover, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They help us to optimize the offer and the technology. We also reserve the right to retrospectively check the log files in case of suspicion of illegal use of our service.

To provide chargeable services, we collect additional data. This applies, for example, to payment information.

To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS, reflecting the current state of technology.

When you contact us using the online form or by email, we store the information you provide in order to respond to your inquiry and ask any follow-up questions.

Our offer includes content, services, and performances from other providers. For example, these include maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube, and graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be accessed and displayed in the user's browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. Therefore, the providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") perceive the IP address of the respective user.

Even though we strive to use only third-party providers who need the IP address solely to deliver content, we have no control over whether the IP address may be stored. This process, in that case, serves among other things for statistical purposes. If we are aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users about it."

This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer by the server. They contain information about the browser, IP address, operating system, and internet connection. We do not share this data with third parties or link it to personal data without your consent.

The pages http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ (Europe) allow you to manage online advertising cookies.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, as part of this, conversion tracking. In this process, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers.

The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers receive the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can personally identify users.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can easily disable the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can find out more about this in Google's privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

We integrate plug-ins from the social network Facebook (address: 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) on our websites. You can identify the plug-ins - an overview can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/Plug-ins/ - by the Like button or the Facebook logo.

When you access one of our web pages with a Facebook plug-in, a direct connection with Facebook is established. We have no control over the nature and extent of the data collected, stored, and processed by Facebook. We can only inform you according to our level of knowledge.

Facebook is informed via the plug-in that you have accessed the corresponding page of our offer. This also applies to users who are not registered on Facebook. In this case, Facebook may store the IP address.

If you are a member of Facebook and logged in, the access to a webpage with a Facebook plug-in can be clearly assigned to your user account on Facebook. Furthermore, the plug-ins transmit all interactions, for example, if you use the Like button or leave a comment.

To prevent Facebook from storing data about you, please log out of Facebook before visiting our web pages. You can also block the plug-ins with add-ons for your browser (for example, "Facebook Blocker").

Information about Facebook's privacy policies, the purpose and scope of data collection and processing, and settings options to protect your privacy on Facebook can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php.

We store personal data in accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimization only as long as it is necessary or as prescribed by law (legal retention period). If the purpose of the collected information ceases or the retention period ends, we block or delete the data.

You have the right to request, free of charge, information about the personal data stored by us and/or to request rectification, blocking, or deletion of such data. Exceptions: This does not apply if the data retention is required for business transactions or if the data is subject to a legal retention obligation.

For these purposes, please contact our Data Protection Officer (contact details at the beginning of this Privacy Policy).

To ensure that a data block is taken into account at all times, it is necessary to keep the data in a lock file for control purposes. If there is no legal archiving obligation, you can also request the deletion of the data. Otherwise, we will block the data if you so desire.

To ensure that our Privacy Policy always complies with current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies in cases where the Privacy Policy needs to be adapted due to new or revised services, such as new service offerings. The new Privacy Policy will apply on your next visit to our service.
