The collection of this data is technically necessary in order to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (the legal basis is Art. 6 para.1 clause 1(f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This data will not be combined with any data from other sources.

Cookies

Cookies are stored on your computer when you use certain areas or functions of our website. These cookies are small text files that our website stores on your hard drive via the browser you are using. They serve to make our website more user-friendly and effective overall. Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.

Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies". These are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your end device for longer. These cookies contain information that can be reused during your next visit to our website.

You can configure your browser in such a way that it informs you whenever a cookie is set, and you can choose on a case-by-case basis whether or not to allow this. You can also set up your browser to prohibit the setting of cookies in general, and/or to delete cookies automatically when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions that you wish to use are saved on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1(f) of the GDPR. The website owner has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically correct and optimized delivery of its services. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this Privacy Policy.

Contact form

If you send us queries via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, in order to answer your query and for any follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your permission.

We will therefore process any data you enter on the contact form only with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1(a) of the GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. To do so, an informal message sent to us by email is sufficient. The legality of the data processing which has already occurred before we receive your request thereby remains unaffected.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until such time as you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions – especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods – thereby remain unaffected.

Our website uses plug-ins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The website operator is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your surfing habits with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service. This is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para.1(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymization

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyze your use of the website, compile reports regarding website activity, and provide other services to the website operator related to website and internet usage. The IP address provided by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google.
