After the respective purpose has ceased or these periods have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely and in accordance with legal regulations blocked or deleted.

Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website
When you access our website, general information is automatically collected using a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and similar information. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions about your person.
This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the content of websites requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,
• Ensuring smooth use of our website,
• Evaluation of system security and stability, and
• for other administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. The only recipients of the data are the responsible party and, if applicable, contract processors.
Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us if necessary to optimize our internet presence and the underlying technology.

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as your IP address, the browser you use, your operating system, and your connection to the Internet.
Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies makes navigation easier for you and enables our web pages to be displayed correctly. Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are generally set to accept cookies by default. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use your internet browser’s help functions to find out how to change these settings.
Please note that some functions of our website may not work properly if you have disabled the use of cookies.

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS

If you contact us with any questions via email or contact form, you give us your voluntary consent to contact you. In order to do this, a valid email address is required. This is used to assign the request and subsequently respond to it. Providing additional information is optional.
The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. After your inquiry has been dealt with, personal data will be automatically deleted.

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

If you have any questions about data protection, please send us an email or contact the person responsible for data protection in our organization directly:
