Scope of application 

This privacy policy provides users with information about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider. The legal framework for data protection is provided by the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

Collection of general information

Each time this website is accessed, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. The information collected includes: Name of the website, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our website) and the IP address. Without this data, it would not be technically possible in some cases to deliver and display the content of the website. In this respect, the collection of data is absolutely necessary. We also use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. It helps us to optimise our offering and technology. We also reserve the right to check the log files retrospectively if we suspect illegal use of our website.

Dealing with personal data

Definition: Personal data is any information that can be used to uniquely identify a person. It is therefore data that can be traced back to a person. This personal data includes the first name and surname, telephone number and e-mail address. Personal data also includes information on hobbies, memberships and preferences as well as websites that have been accessed. This data is only collected, used and, if necessary, passed on by the provider if this is expressly permitted by law or if the user consents to the collection, processing, use and passing on of the data.

Registration on our website

If you register on our website in order to make use of personalised services, personal data will be collected. This includes your name, address, telephone number and email address as contact and communication data. Registration enables access to services and content that are only available to registered users. If required, registered users have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time. On request, we will of course inform you which personal data has been collected and stored. In addition, we will correct or delete the data on request, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. Please use the contact details provided in this privacy policy if you have any questions or wish to correct or delete your data.

Provision of chargeable services 

We request additional data so that we can provide chargeable services. This applies, for example, to payment details. To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we work with encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS, which reflect the current state of the art.

If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data you enter exclusively for this purpose or to inform you of circumstances relevant to this service or registration. We do not pass this data on to third parties. A valid e-mail address is required to receive the newsletter. We also store the IP address you use to register for the newsletter and the date on which you order the newsletter. This data serves as proof in the event of misuse if a third-party e-mail address is registered for the newsletter. In addition, to ensure that an e-mail address is not misused by third parties in our mailing list, we work with the so-called ‘double opt-in’ procedure in accordance with the law. As part of this procedure, the newsletter order, the sending of the confirmation email and the receipt of the registration confirmation are logged. You have the option to revoke your consent to the storage of data, your e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. We provide you with a link for cancellation in every newsletter and on the website. You also have the option of informing us of your cancellation request via the contact options specified in this document.

By subscribing to the newsletter, I declare that I agree to receive further information emails and advertising emails about promotions. 

If you contact us via the online form or by e-mail, we will save the information you provide in order to answer your enquiry and ask any follow-up questions.

Our website sometimes includes content and services from other providers. This includes, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube and graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be accessed and displayed in the user's browser, the transmission of the IP address is mandatory. The providers (hereinafter referred to as ‘third-party providers’) therefore recognise the IP address of the respective user. Even if we endeavour to only use third-party providers who only need the IP address to be able to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process is used for statistical purposes, among other things. If we are aware that the IP address is stored, we will inform our users accordingly.

This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer by the server. They contain information about your browser, IP address, operating system and Internet connection. We do not pass this data on to third parties or link it to personal data without your consent. Cookies fulfil two main tasks. They help us to make it easier for you to navigate through our website and enable the website to be displayed correctly. They are not used to introduce viruses or start programmes. Users have the option of accessing our website without cookies. To do this, the corresponding settings must be changed in the browser. Please use the help function of your browser to find out how to deactivate cookies. However, we would like to point out that this may impair some of the functions of this website and limit the ease of use. The websites http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ (USA) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ (Europe) allow you to manage online ad cookies.

Use of Google Analytics 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will be shortened 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 truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Browser Add On zur Deaktivierung von Google Analytics.

Facebook Social Plug-in
We integrate plug-ins from the social network Facebook (address: 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) on our websites. You can recognise the plug-ins - you can find an overview here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/Plug-ins/ - by the Like button or the Facebook logo. If you visit one of our websites with a Facebook plug-in, a direct connection to Facebook is established. We have no influence on the type and scope of data that is collected, stored and processed by Facebook. We can only inform you to the best of our knowledge. Facebook is informed via the plug-in that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website. This also applies to users who are not registered with Facebook. In this case, there is a possibility that Facebook will save the IP address. If you are a member of Facebook and logged in, accessing a website with a Facebook plug-in can be clearly assigned to your Facebook user account. In addition, the plug-ins transmit all interactions, for example when you use the Like button or leave a comment. To prevent Facebook from storing data about you, please log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also block the plug-ins with add-ons for your browser (e.g. ‘Facebook Blocker’). Information on the data protection provisions, the purpose and scope of data collection and data processing as well as the setting options for protecting your privacy on Facebook can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.php.

Google+ Social Plug-in
We integrate the social plug-in from Google+ (Google plus) on our websites, recognisable by the ‘+1’ sign on a white or coloured background. The plug-in is provided by Google Inc (Google for short, address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). When a website with a Google+ button is accessed, a connection to Google's servers is established. Google transmits the content of the button and integrates it into the corresponding website. At the same time, Google receives information about which page has just been accessed. According to Google, personal data is only collected when the Google+ button is clicked. For members of Google+ who are logged in, the following applies: Even without interaction, Google stores and processes at least the IP address. We have no influence on the scope of the data that is stored in this context. Google+ users who are logged into their account can recommend our websites by clicking on the ‘+1’ button. In this case, Google stores not only the IP address and the browser, but also the content for which the +1 was given and the page. This information is stored in the user's profile and can be displayed together with the user's profile name and image in Google services, including search results. Google uses the data to optimise its own services, among other things. You can find information on Google's data protection provisions and the setting options for protecting your privacy here: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Google Plus members who do not want their data to be collected and stored via our websites should log out of their Google+ account before visiting our website.

Data minimisation 

In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimisation, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary or prescribed by law (statutory retention period). If the purpose of the information collected no longer applies or the storage period ends, we block or delete the data.
