Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy:

As a user of our website, this privacy policy provides you with all necessary information about how, to what extent, and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect and use your data.

The collection and use of your data is carried out strictly in accordance with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We are particularly committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore operate strictly within the limits set by legal requirements. Wherever possible, the collection of personal data is carried out on a voluntary basis. We only pass such data on to third parties with your explicit consent.

We ensure a high level of security for particularly confidential data—such as in payment transactions or inquiries you send to us—by using SSL encryption. However, we would also like to point out the general risks of using the internet over which we have no influence. Especially in email communications, your data is not secure without additional precautions and may be captured by third parties under certain circumstances.

Information, deletion, blocking: 

You have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about the personal data we store about you, as well as its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data collection and processing. You also have the right to request correction, blocking, or deletion of your data.

This does not apply to data that must be retained due to statutory provisions or is required for proper business processing. To ensure that a data block can be implemented at any time, data for control purposes is kept in a blocking file. If data is not subject to a statutory retention obligation, we will delete your data at your request. If a retention obligation applies, we will block your data.

For all questions and requests regarding correction, blocking, or deletion of personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact details in this privacy policy or the address stated in the legal notice (Imprint).

Cookies: 

We use cookies on our website. These small text files are stored on your PC by our server. They support the presentation of our website and help you navigate within it.

Cookies collect data about your IP address, your browser, your operating system, and your internet connection. We do not link this information to personal data and do not pass it on to third parties. Under no circumstances are cookies used by us to place malware or spyware on your computer.

You can also use our website without cookies; however, some displays and functions of our services may then work only to a limited extent. If you want to disable cookies, you can do so via special settings in your browser. Please use your browser’s help function to make the relevant changes.

Provision of paid services:

If you wish to use paid services offered on our website, we may need to collect additional data for billing purposes and for security reasons. This typically includes your name, a valid email address, and possibly your address and telephone number, as well as—depending on the individual case—other information.

This may also include content that allows us to verify the information provided, such as confirmation that you are the owner of the stated email address. For legal reasons, we must ensure that you actually want to receive the services offered and that we can invoice you correctly. For payment processing, we use SSL encryption, recognizable by “https://” in the browser address line.

Personal data:

In line with data avoidance and data minimization, we collect personal data only to the extent and for as long as it is necessary to use our website or as required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and strictly comply with the relevant legal regulations when collecting and processing personal data, as well as with this privacy policy.

If the purpose for collecting data no longer applies or the end of the statutory retention period has been reached, the collected data will be blocked or deleted. Generally, our website can be used without providing personal data.

If we collect personal data—such as your name, address, or email address—this is done on a voluntary basis. Without your explicit consent, this data will not be disclosed to third parties. Please note that data transmitted over the internet is not always transmitted securely. In particular, protection during email exchange cannot be guaranteed.

SSL encryption:

Our website uses SSL encryption when transmitting confidential or personal content of our users. This encryption is activated, for example, in payment processing and for inquiries you send to us via our website.

Please ensure that SSL encryption is activated for such activities on your side. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: the display in your browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://”. Data transmitted via SSL encryption cannot be read by third parties. Only transmit your confidential information when SSL encryption is enabled and, if in doubt, contact us.

Objection to advertising emails:

As part of the statutory obligation to provide a legal notice (Imprint), we must publish our contact details. These are sometimes used by third parties to send unsolicited advertising and information.

We hereby object to any sending of advertising materials of any kind that has not been expressly authorized by us. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unwanted and unsolicited sending of advertising materials. This applies in particular to so-called spam emails, spam letters, and spam faxes.

We point out that the unauthorized transmission of advertising material may affect competition law, civil law, and criminal law provisions. Spam emails and spam faxes in particular may lead to high claims for damages if they disrupt business operations by overfilling mailboxes or fax machines.

Encrypted payment transactions: 

We secure your data in payment transactions. For security reasons and to protect your confidential and personal content during payment transactions, our website uses SSL encryption.

You can tell whether SSL encryption is activated by the address bar of your browser: only when the display changes from “http://” to “https://” is data transmission encrypted. The “https://” in the browser line indicates that SSL encryption is in use and payment transactions are now encrypted. Once SSL encryption is activated, it becomes impossible for third parties to read your confidential data. Therefore, transmit your data only when SSL encryption is enabled.

Google AdWords:

We use Google AdWords, an online advertising program by Google Inc., on our website. Conversion tracking is also used. With this tool, Google AdWords places a cookie on your PC if you reach our website via a Google advertisement. The cookie expires after 30 days and is not used for personal identification.

If you visit our website while the cookie is still active, we and Google can jointly recognize that you clicked the relevant ad and were redirected to our website. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers.

The data collected via conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers. As customers, we learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then directed to a website equipped with a conversion tracking tag. In this process, we do not receive information that could personally identify you as a user.

If you do not want this tracking procedure, you can disable the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser. If necessary, use your browser’s help function for further information. More details on Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Use of Google Analytics: 

We use the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Inc. on our website. This service uses cookies—text files stored on your PC—that enable an analysis of your user behavior in relation to our website. The cookies generate information that is transmitted to a Google server. These servers are generally located in the USA, but under agreements for use within the European Economic Area, your IP address is shortened before transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the IP address shortened only after transmission to the USA.

Google analyzes the transmitted information and provides further services to us as the website operator in this context. The determined IP address is not combined with other Google services. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by changing your browser settings; however, this may lead to restrictions in the display and functionality of our website.

A browser plug-in can also prevent the collection and use of the data generated by cookies. You can download it here:
