Our Privacy Policy
We believe in strong personal privacy protection. We collect and use the personal data of our users as far as necessary for operating a functional website and delivering our content and services. Data we collect, such as email-addresses or names via our contact form, will solely be used to answer your queries about our website or other aspects of our services and products.
We will not use this data to send you unnecessary mails, ads or other types of information you didn't request in the first place. We believe in a low footprint of our communication with you, so that you only get information and services you really requested.
Use of cookies and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files saved in or by the web browser on the user’s computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored in the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a unique character string that allows the website to identify the browser when it accesses the website again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly and use data to optimize the user experience as well as provide more personalized content to all users.
Purpose of data processing
Cookies are technically necessary to simplify using websites. Several of our website’s functions will not work without using cookies. These functions require the browser to be recognized again after leaving and returning to our website.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transferred to our site. Consequently, you as the user have complete control over how cookies are used. By changing the settings in your web browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies to external websites. You can also delete all saved cookies on your system at any time. Restrictions on cookie usage can be managed automatically by your browser. If you disable cookies for our website, you may no longer be able to use the site’s full range of functions.
External services
We use various commercial search engines for queries. Some of these search engines use cookies, i.e. text files saved on your computer that allow for analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie on your usage of this website (including your non-anonymized IP address) is transferred to a server of the search engine operator, such as Google in the US, and saved there. The search engine operator can use this information to analyze your usage of the website, to compile reports on the website activities for the website operators, and to deliver additional services associated with website and Internet use. The search engine operator may also transfer this information to third parties if so, specified by law or if the third parties process this data on behalf of the search engine operator. You can prevent cookies from being installed using the appropriate setting in your browser software; however, we must point out that it may keep you from using all the functions on this website. By using these search query fields, you agree that the data search engine operator collects about you may be processed in the manner previously described and for the purpose previously stated.
We also use iframes to incorporate videos, text or other media (such as YouTube, Twitter, Maps). Copyright reasons prevent us from realizing this in any other way in many cases. Frame technology can trigger sending information such as the non-anonymized IP address or access date to the external provider when the page is accessed. It allows the external provider to save cookies on your computer which can be used for advertising purposes, etc. If you are logged into your YouTube or Google account, YouTube can associate your surfing behavior with you personally. To avoid this, you should log off. Currently it is not technologically possible to implement an opt-out function in this case. If you want to avoid cookies, you can deactivate them in your browser.
Unrestricted Information
Any information that you voluntarily choose to include in a public area of this website, such as a public profile page, will be available to any visitor or user who has access to that content.
