Under the provided contact details of our Data Protection Officer, you can exercise the following rights at any time:

  • Information about the data we store about you and how it is processed,
  • Correction of inaccurate personal data,
  • Deletion of the personal data we store about you,
  • Restriction of data processing if we are not allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,
  • Objection to the processing of your data by us, and
  • Data portability, if you have consented to data processing or have entered into a contract with us.

If you have given us consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.

You can file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority at any time. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the state of your residence, your work, or the alleged violation.

Purposes of Data Processing by the Responsible Entity and Third Parties


We process your personal data only for the purposes mentioned in this privacy policy. We do not transmit your personal data to third parties for any other purposes. We will share your personal data with third parties only if:

  • You have given your explicit consent,
  • The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
  • The processing is required to fulfill a legal obligation,

The processing is necessary for the protection of legitimate interests and there is no reason to believe that you have a predominant interest in not disclosing your data.

Deletion or Blocking of Data


We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required by the various retention periods prescribed by law. After the respective purpose is no longer relevant or the retention periods have expired, the data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

SSL Encryption


To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods (e.g., SSL) in accordance with the current state of technology over HTTPS.

Contact Form


If you contact us via email or contact form for any questions, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of communication. A valid email address is required for this. It is used to assign the request and respond to it. Providing additional data is optional. The data you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for any follow-up questions. Once the request has been completed, personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Analytics


This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will, however, be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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 usage 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 Google data.

The purposes of data processing lie in the evaluation of the website usage and in the compilation of reports about website activities. Based on the use of the website and the internet, further related services will be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all the features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add-On for Disabling Google Analytics.

Additionally, or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent the tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. As a result, the collection by Google Analytics will be prevented for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Verwendung von Scriptbibliotheken (Google Webfonts)


Um unsere Inhalte browserübergreifend korrekt und grafisch ansprechend darzustellen, verwenden wir auf dieser Website Scriptbibliotheken und Schriftbibliotheken wie z. B. Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Webfonts werden zur Vermeidung mehrfachen Ladens in den Cache Ihres Browsers übertragen. Falls der Browser die Google Webfonts nicht unterstützt oder den Zugriff unterbindet, werden Inhalte in einer Standardschrift angezeigt.

Der Aufruf von Scriptbibliotheken oder Schriftbibliotheken löst automatisch eine Verbindung zum Betreiber der Bibliothek aus. Dabei ist es theoretisch möglich – aktuell allerdings auch unklar ob und ggf. zu welchen Zwecken – dass Betreiber entsprechender Bibliotheken Daten erheben.

Die Datenschutzrichtlinie des Bibliothekbetreibers Google finden Sie hier: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Änderung unserer Datenschutzbestimmungen


Wir behalten uns vor, diese Datenschutzerklärung anzupassen, damit sie stets den aktuellen rechtlichen Anforderungen entspricht oder um Änderungen unserer Leistungen in der Datenschutzerklärung umzusetzen, z.B. bei der Einführung neuer Services. Für Ihren erneuten Besuch gilt dann die neue Datenschutzerklärung.
