We generally only process the personal data of our users if this is required to provide a functional website and our content and services.

2. Encryption
This website uses SSL encryption to protect confidential content such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the address bar of your browser changing from http:// to https:// and the lock symbol being displayed in the browser line. If this encryption is active, the data that you transfer to us cannot be ready by third parties.

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the accessing computer.
The following data shall be collected:

However, there are also cookies that are saved on your computer permanently, provided you do not delete them yourself. This makes it possible for us to detect your browser the next time you visit our website in order to provide you with a correspondingly suitable offer. You can prevent cookies from being saved altogether or just when you visit certain websites in your browser settings. However, it is possible that not all functions of our website can then be used.

The data you send in the e-mail  will remain with us until you request us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after completed the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This enables reports to be created that include statements about the age, gender, and interests of the site visitor. These data originate from interest-related advertisements of Google and from visitor data of third-party providers. These data cannot be assigned to any specific person. You may deactivate this function at any time via the display settings in your Google account or prohibit collection of your data by Google Analytics in general as described in “objecting to data collection”.

2. Google Tag Manager:
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via one interface. The Tool Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect personal data. The tool triggers other tags that collect data for their part under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation is completed at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager. https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/
