As a user of our website, this privacy statement provides you with all the necessary information about how, to what extent, and for what purposes we or third parties collect and use your data. The collection and use of your data follows strict guidelines, and we are committed to keeping your personal information confidential.
Whenever possible, providing personal data is voluntary, and we only share it with third parties if you explicitly agree. For particularly sensitive data, such as payment information or inquiries sent to us, we use SSL encryption to ensure a high level of security.
However, we also want to point out the general risks of using the internet, which are beyond our control. In particular, data sent via email is not automatically secure and may potentially be accessed by third parties.
You can request free information at any time about the personal data we store about you, including its origin, recipients, and purpose. You also have the right to request that your data be corrected, blocked, or deleted.
Data that we are legally required to retain or that is necessary for proper business operations are exceptions. To ensure that data can be blocked if needed, certain information may be stored in a separate control file. If data is not subject to a legal retention requirement, we will delete it upon your request. If retention is required, we will block the data instead.
For any questions regarding the correction, blocking, or deletion of personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided in this Privacy Policy or the address listed in the imprint.
We use cookies on our website. These small text files are stored on your device by our server. They help improve the display of our website and make it easier for you to navigate.
Cookies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and internet connection. We do not link this information to personal data and do not share it with third parties. Cookies are never used to install malware or spyware on your device.
You can use our website without cookies, but some features or displays may be limited. If you wish to disable cookies, you can do so via your browser settings — please consult your browser’s help function for instructions.

Our website may include content, services, or features provided by third parties that complement our offerings. Examples include Google Maps, YouTube videos, or graphics from other providers. Accessing these third-party services often requires transmitting your IP address, which allows these providers to recognize and store your IP.
We strive to include only third-party providers that use IP addresses solely for content delivery. However, we have no control over whether third parties may store the IP address. Such storage may be used for purposes like statistical analysis. If we become aware of any data storage by third parties, we will inform our users promptly.
Please also note the privacy policies of the individual third-party providers whose services we use on our website. These policies are referenced in this privacy statement.
You can subscribe to our newsletter on our website. To do so, we require your email address. We must also verify, in accordance with legal requirements, that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you wish to receive the newsletter. For this purpose, we collect information necessary to perform this verification.
The data collected is used solely for sending and receiving the newsletter and is not shared with third parties. No additional data beyond what is necessary for newsletter delivery is collected.
Since newsletter subscription depends on your consent, you can withdraw this consent and stop the collection and storage of your data at any time without providing a reason. To do so, use the “unsubscribe” link provided in the newsletter.
We collect personal data only to the extent and for as long as it is necessary for the use of our website, or as required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and strictly adhere to applicable legal regulations and this privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of data collection no longer applies or the statutory retention period has expired, the collected data will be blocked or deleted.
In general, our website can be used without providing personal data. When we do collect personal data—such as your name, address, or email address—this is done voluntarily. Without your explicit consent, these data will not be disclosed to third parties.
Please note that data transmitted over the Internet is not always secure. In particular, email communications cannot guarantee complete protection.
Server log files contain anonymized data collected when you access our website. These files cannot be used to personally identify you but are technically necessary for delivering and displaying our content. They also serve statistical purposes and help optimize our content continuously. Typical log files include the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the browser used and its version, the operating system, the domain name of the provider you used, the referring page (referrer URL), and your IP address. Log files also allow precise verification in case of suspected unlawful use of our website.
Our website uses SSL encryption when transmitting confidential or personal information. This encryption is activated, for example, during payment transactions or when you submit inquiries via our website. Please ensure that SSL encryption is active on your side when sending confidential information. You can recognize SSL encryption by the change in your browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://”. Data transmitted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Only send confidential information when SSL encryption is active and contact us if in doubt.
As required by law, we must publish our contact details. These may be used by third parties to send unsolicited advertising or information. We hereby object to any advertising materials sent without our explicit authorization. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against unsolicited advertising, including spam emails, letters, and faxes. Unauthorized transmission of advertising material may violate competition, civil, and criminal laws and could result in claims for damages if business operations are disrupted.
Our website uses plugins from the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. The Facebook logo or “Like” button on our site indicates the presence of these plugins.
When you visit our website, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and Facebook servers. This transmits your IP address to Facebook and links your activity to your Facebook account if you click the “Like” button. We do not know the content of the data transmitted or how Facebook uses it. More information can be found in the Facebook Data Policy.
You can prevent this connection by logging out of Facebook before visiting our website.
We use Google AdSense on our website to display personalized, interest-based ads. Cookies and web beacons are used to collect information about visitors, such as IP addresses, to deliver tailored advertising. Google stores this information on servers in the USA and does not combine it with personal data from other Google services.
You can opt out of this remarketing function via Google Ads Settings or by disabling cookies in your browser. Without cookies, some features of our website may be limited. By using our website, you consent to Google collecting and processing data as described above.
We use Google AdWords, which includes conversion tracking. When you visit our site via a Google ad, a cookie is set on your device for up to 30 days. This allows Google and us to track that the ad led you to our website. This data is anonymous and does not allow personal identification.
You can deactivate Google conversion tracking cookies via your browser. More information is available in the Google Privacy Policy.
We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized data, which is transmitted to Google servers (usually in the USA). IP addresses are anonymized before transmission whenever possible. Data is not merged with other Google services.
You can prevent cookie storage via your browser settings, but this may limit website functionality. A browser plugin to disable Google Analytics tracking is available here. More details: Google Analytics Terms and Google Privacy Policy.
We use Google remarketing to display interest-based ads across the Google network. Cookies are used to recognize visitors on subsequent visits. You can opt out at Google Ads Settings or Network Advertising Initiative. More information: Google Remarketing Privacy.
We use the Google Maps plugin (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Your IP address and usage data may be transmitted to Google servers in the USA. Google may share this data with third parties. Disabling JavaScript in your browser prevents Google Maps from loading. Using the plugin implies consent to the described data collection. More info: Google Maps Terms.
We use Google+ functions (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google+ allows global sharing of content and records “+1” actions associated with your Google profile. Data is used to personalize Google services. More info: Google+ Privacy.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” text files stored on your computer, to analyze your website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We have enabled IP anonymization. On this website, your IP address is truncated within the European Union or other parties to the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and 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 is not merged with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings; however, this may limit some website functionality. You can also prevent the collection and processing of data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This website uses plugins provided by Facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Users visiting pages with the Facebook plugin (“Like” button) are informed that a connection to Facebook servers is established, and data is transmitted to your browser to render the plugin.
When using the plugin, data is also transmitted to Facebook servers, including information about your visits to our website. For logged-in Facebook users, this data is associated with their personal Facebook account.
If you actively use the plugin (e.g., clicking the “Like” button or using the comment function), data is transmitted to your Facebook account and published. This can be avoided only by logging out of Facebook before visiting our website.
