Scope

With this data protection declaration, users receive information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider..

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

Collection of general information

With every access to this offer, information is automatically recorded by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
Among other things, the following are recorded: name of the website, file, date, data volume, 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 offer) the IP address.
Without this data, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the content of the website. In this respect, the collection of the data is absolutely necessary. In addition, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They help us to optimise the offer and the technology. We also reserve the right to retrospectively check the log files if we suspect illegal use of our offer.

Provision of chargeable services

We request additional data so that we can provide chargeable services. This applies, for example, to the information on payment.

To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we work with encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS, which reflect the current state of the art.

Contact form

If you contact us via the online form or by e-mail, we will save the information you have provided in order to be able to answer your request and ask any follow-up questions.

Integration of services and content from third parties

Our offerings sometimes include content, services and performances from other providers. These are, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube and graphics and images from other websites. The transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary so that this data can be called up and displayed in the user's browser. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") thus perceive the IP address of the respective user.
Even if we try to only use third-party providers who only need the IP address in order to be able to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address is possibly saved. In this case, this process serves, among other things, statistical purposes. If we know that the IP address is being saved, we will inform our users of this.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent 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 more to provide services to the website operator related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly.

Google AdWords

This website uses the online advertising program "Google AdWords" and, as part of this, conversion tracking. Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
If you do not want to take part in the tracking process, you can easily deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. You can find out more about Google's data protection provisions at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
