We are particularly committed to keeping your personal data confidential and therefore work strictly within the limits set by legal requirements. The collection of this personal data is voluntary when we are able to do so. We also only share this data with third parties with your express consent. We ensure a high level of security for particularly confidential data, such as payment transactions or with regard to your inquiries to us, by using SSL encryption. However, we would like to take this opportunity to point out the general dangers of using the Internet, over which we have no influence. Especially in e-mail traffic, your data is not secure without further measures and may be collected by third parties under certain circumstances.

PROVISION OF PAID SERVICES
If you want to use the paid services and services offered on our website, we may need to collect further data from you for billing purposes and for security reasons. This regularly includes your name, a valid e-mail address and, if applicable, your address and telephone number, as well as further information, depending on the individual case. This may also involve content that allows us to verify the data provided, such as your ownership of the email address provided. For legal reasons, we must ensure that you actually want to receive the services offered and that we can properly bill you for the service. In payment transactions, we work with the SSL encryption standard, recognizable by the “https://” browser line.

COLLECTION OF ACCESS DATA
The delivery and presentation of content via our website technically requires the collection of certain data. When you access our website, these so-called server log files are collected by us or the web space provider. These log files do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you and yourself. The corresponding information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the amount of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet provider, the referrer URL as the page from which you switched to our site, and the corresponding IP address. We use this data to display and deliver our content and for statistical purposes. The information supports the provision and continuous improvement of our offering. We also reserve the right to check the mentioned data retrospectively should there be a suspicion of illegal use of our offer.

THIRD PARTY CONTENT AND SERVICES
The offer on our website may also include content, services and services from other providers that complement our offering. Examples of such offers include maps from Google Maps, YouTube videos or graphics from third parties. Accessing these services from third parties regularly requires the transmission of your IP address. This enables these providers to identify your user IP address and also save it. We make every effort to include only those third parties who use IP addresses solely to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on which third party provider may save the IP address. This storage can be used for statistical purposes, for example. Should we become aware of storage processes by third parties, we will immediately inform our users of this fact. In this context, please also note the special privacy statements for individual third parties and service providers whose services we use on our website. They can also be found in this privacy policy.

PERSONAL DATA
As part of data prevention and data economy, we only collect personal data to the extent and for as long as is necessary to use our website or is required by law. We take the protection of your personal data seriously and strictly comply with the relevant legal regulations and this privacy policy when collecting and processing personal data. If the purpose of data collection ceases to apply or the end of the legal storage period has been reached, the collected data will be blocked or deleted. Our website can be used regularly without sharing personal data. When we collect personal data — such as your name, address, or email address — this data collection is voluntary. This data will not be made available to third parties without your express consent. Please note that data is generally not always transmitted securely on the Internet. Protection during data exchange cannot be guaranteed, particularly in e-mail traffic.

SERVER LOG FILES
The server log files are anonymized data that are collected when you access our website. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally, but is essential for the delivery and presentation of our content for technical reasons. They also serve our statistics and to constantly optimize our content. Typical log files include the date and time of access, the amount of data, the browser used for access and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of the provider you commissioned, the page from which you came to our offer (referrer URL) and your IP address. Log files also allow a detailed check if there is a suspicion of illegal use of our website.

OBJECTION TO PROMOTIONAL EMAILS
As part of the legal imprint requirement, 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 material of any kind not expressly authorized by us. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unsolicited and unsolicited sending of advertising material. This applies in particular to so-called spam emails, spam letters and spam faxes. We would like to point out that the unauthorised transmission of advertising material may affect both competition, civil and criminal offences. Spam emails and spam faxes in particular can result in high compensation claims if they disrupt business operations due to overcrowding mailboxes or fax machines.
