Collecting General Information When Visiting our Website

When you access our website, a cookie automatically records the general information. This data (server log files) includes, for example, the type of Web browser you use, your computer’s operating system, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and the like. It does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your identity based on the data collected.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest for the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your information to draw conclusion. The recipient of the data is only the responsible body and possibly the processor.

This kind of anonymous data collection may be statistically evaluated by us to optimise our website and its underlying technology.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use the so-called "cookies". Cookies are small files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. They automatically give us specific information, such as your IP address, the browser you have used, your operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or to transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable the correct display of our web pages.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us get passed on to third parties or a link with your personal data be revealed without your consent.

If you wish, you can browse our website without accepting cookies. Internet browsers are often set up to save cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time through the settings of your browser. Please use the help features of your Internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

SSL Encryption

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

Comments

When users leave comments on our website, the date and time they created the comments and their previously chosen username will also be saved. This is for our own security, as we may be prosecuted for any illegal content appearing on our website, even if it has been created by users.

Newsletter

On the basis of your expressly given consent, we will regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by e-mail to your specified e-mail address.

Your e-mail address will be sufficient to subscribe to the newsletter. When you sign up to receive our newsletter, the information you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers can also be notified by email about any relevant circumstances about the service or registration (such as changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions).

For a successful registration we need a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that a registration is actually made by the owner of the provided e-mail address, we use the "Double opt-in" procedure. For this purpose we record the order of the newsletter, the dispatch of a confirmation mail and the receipt of the requested reply. No further information is collected. The data will be used exclusively for the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

Once your request has been completed, we will automatically delete your personal data.

Social Plugins

We offer you the possibility of using "social media buttons" on our website. To protect your data, we rely on the "Shariff" solution in the implementation. As a result, these buttons are integrated on the website only as image that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the image you will be redirected to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective provider. Unless you click on the image, there will be no data exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in social networking sites can be found in the provider’s respective terms of use policy.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website: Facebook, Instagram, Google+
