Collection of general information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser used, the operating system, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. It is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the website content you have requested and is inevitably generated when using the internet. We evaluate anonymous information of this kind statistically in order to optimise our website and the underlying technology.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a web server to your hard drive. Through this process, we automatically receive certain data such as your IP address, the browser used, the operating system, and information about your computer and your connection to the internet.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programmes or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to facilitate your navigation and ensure the correct display of our website.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programmes or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to facilitate your navigation and ensure the correct display of our website.

You can of course also browse our website without cookies. Internet browsers are generally set to accept cookies by default. You can disable the use of cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please use the help function of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that certain features of our website may not function properly if you have disabled the use of cookies.

SSL Encryption

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

Contact Form

If you contact us by email or via the contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for any follow-up questions that may arise.

Deletion and Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimisation and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated herein, or as required by the various statutory retention periods provided for by the legislator. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or upon expiry of these periods, the relevant data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” — text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a server operated by Google in the United States. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted 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 to provide the website operator with further services related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of such data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.

In addition to, or as an alternative to, the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will be installed on your device. This will prevent data collection by Google Analytics for this website and this browser in the future, for as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a visually appealing manner across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/ ). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid repeated loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or restricts access, content will be displayed in a default font.

Accessing script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the respective library. It is theoretically possible — though currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes — that operators of such libraries may collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to display geographical information visually. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors’ use of the map functions. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy notice. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Centre.

Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can decline the setting of the cookie required for this purpose — for example, by adjusting your browser settings to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies, or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies for as long as you do not wish any measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all cookies in your browser, you will need to set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The purpose of this function is to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the visitor’s browser, which enables the visitor to be recognised when they access websites that are part of Google’s advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be shown advertisements relating to content that they previously viewed on websites using Google’s remarketing function.
According to Google’s own statements, no personal data is collected during this process. Should you nonetheless not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can generally disable it by adjusting the relevant settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Your Rights to Access, Rectification, Restriction, Erasure and Objection

You have the right to obtain information about the personal data stored about you with us at any time. You also have the right to rectification, restriction, or — except where data retention is required for business processing purposes — erasure of your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer for this purpose. You will find the contact details at the bottom of this page.

In order for a restriction of data to be taken into account at any time, such data must be retained in a restriction file for control purposes. You may also request the deletion of your data, provided no statutory archiving obligation exists. Where such an obligation does exist, we will restrict your data upon request

You may make changes or revoke a consent with effect for the future by notifying us accordingly.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy from time to time in order to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements, or to reflect changes to our services in the privacy policy, for example when introducing new services. Your next visit to our website will be governed by the updated privacy policy.
