General Information
The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is all data by which you can be personally identified.

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the imprint of this website.

What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. Your IP address will be stored by our servers for up to 24 months. This is for security reasons (the firewall software “Fail2Ban” uses this to reliably fend off attacks on our server infrastructure). After a maximum of 24 months (or upon written request), the IPs will be removed accordingly.

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data.

The responsible authority is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke previously given consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

In the case of data protection violations, the person affected has the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the state where the customer is based.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion
Within the framework of applicable legal regulations, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and possibly a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data.

Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the sending of unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby rejected. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
A combination of this data with other data sources is not carried out.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. This data is stored for 24 months and processed in a privacy-compliant and anonymized manner via the statistical tool “PIWIK/MATOMO.”
Analysis / Web Statistics
For the purpose of optimizing our website, the web tracking tool “Matomo” (formerly: “Piwik”) is used. IP addresses are immediately anonymized by Matomo; identification of visitors is therefore not possible. The anonymous statistical data is stored separately from any personal data you may provide and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific person.
You can object to tracking by clicking on the following link.
Cookies
No cookies are used on this website – unless you object to tracking. In that case, cookies are technically set to specifically prevent tracking.
Social Media
Content can be shared on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, or Google+ in compliance with data protection. This site uses data protection-compliant links to the corresponding networks. These simple links do not transmit any data in advance without your consent. This tool establishes direct contact between the networks and users only when the user actively clicks on one of these buttons.
An automatic transfer of user data to the operators of these platforms is not carried out by this tool. If the user is logged into one of the social networks, an information window appears when using the social buttons from Facebook, Google+1, Twitter & Co., in which the user can confirm the text before sending.
Our users can share the content of this page in compliance with data protection on social networks, without complete surfing profiles being created by the operators of the networks.
