Data protection

General information

Our website can be used to a limited extent without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address, date of birth or email addresses) is collected on our pages or forms, this is always done on a voluntary basis.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible. We have taken technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological advances.

We only process the personal data that we receive from you voluntarily as part of your visit to our website or through other information from you.

Analysis tools and third-party tools

It may happen that content from third parties, such as videos from YouTube, Facebook links, map material from Google Maps or graphics from other websites, as well as analysis tools, are integrated within our online offer. This usually requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. However, we have no influence on the third-party providers using the IP address, e.g. B. save for statistical purposes. As far as this is known to us, we inform the users about this.

Some of the third-party providers mentioned may be located outside your country or outside the EU or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that in your country. For example, companies in the USA are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without those affected being able to take legal action. However, without your consent, we only transfer your personal data to countries within the EU or to countries for which the EU Commission has decided that they have an adequate level of data protection or we take, as far as possible, measures to ensure that a adequate level of data protection. In the case of your express consent to data transfer to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49 Paragraph 1 lit a GDPR. If data transmission is necessary to fulfill a contract, your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b
