Below we would like to inform you about our privacy policy. Here you will find information about the collection and use of personal data when using our website. We comply with the applicable data protection laws of Germany. You can access this declaration at any time on our website.
We expressly point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via e-mail) can have security vulnerabilities and cannot be completely protected from access by third parties.
The use of the contact details from our legal notice for commercial advertising is expressly not desired unless we have previously given our written consent or there is already a business relationship. The provider and all persons named on this website hereby object to any commercial use and disclosure of their data.
You can visit our website without providing any personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address, or e-mail address) is collected on our pages, this is done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
If a contractual relationship is to be established, defined, or modified between you and us, or if you send us an inquiry, we collect and use your personal data only to the extent necessary for these purposes (inventory data). We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as this is necessary to enable you to use the web offering (usage data). All personal data will only be stored for as long as necessary for the stated purpose (processing your inquiry or handling a contract). Tax and commercial law retention periods are taken into account.
Upon request by the relevant authorities, we may provide information about this data (inventory data) in individual cases, insofar as this is necessary for law enforcement purposes, for averting danger, for fulfilling the legal tasks of the constitutional protection authorities or the Military Counterintelligence Service, or for enforcing intellectual property rights.
By voluntarily entering your e-mail address into our newsletter subscription form and confirming it via a double opt-in procedure, you consent to receiving our e-mail newsletter.

Data Processing Agreement
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
IP Anonymization
We use the “IP anonymization” feature on this website. As a result, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to 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 activity, 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 held by Google.
Demographic Features in Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data of third-party providers. The data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time through the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described under “Objection to Data Collection.”
This website uses plugins from Facebook.com, provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Users of our website where the Facebook plugin (“Like” button) is installed are hereby informed that the plugin establishes a connection to Facebook, which results in a transmission to your browser so that the plugin appears on the website.
Furthermore, by using the plugin, data is transmitted to Facebook servers, which contain information about your visits to our website. For logged-in Facebook users, this means that the usage data is assigned to their personal Facebook account.
As soon as you actively use the Facebook plugin (e.g., by clicking the “Like” button or using the comment function) while logged in to Facebook, these data will be transmitted to your Facebook account and published. You can prevent this only by logging out of your Facebook account beforehand.
