Data Privacy Statement

 

General

The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal information. The collection of any personal data (such as name, address or e-mail address) is regarded, as far as possible, as being strictly voluntary. This information will not be passed on to a third party without express consent.

 

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) does contain security gaps. Complete protection of data against unauthorized access by third parties is not possible.

 

The use of published contact information by third parties for sending unsolicited advertisements and information materials is, within the framework of the legal notice obligation, explicitly rejected. The site operators reserve the right to take legal action in case of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam e-mails.

 

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "Cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the Cookie, concerning your use of this site, is usually sent to a Google server and stored in the U.S. In the case of activation of the IP anonymization on this website your IP address will beforehand be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

 

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the U.S. and truncated. On behalf of the operator of this site, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and compile reports on website activity to provide other website and internet related services to the site operator. Within the scope of Google Analytics, the IP address sent by your browser will not be merged with other data held by Google.

 

You can prevent the storage of Cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; we point out, however, that in this case not all the features of this site will be in full use. You can also extend the coverage of the data generated by the Cookie, and prevent use of the site-related data (including your IP address) to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the available plugin in the browser in the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Through the use of Twitter and the function “Re-Tweet”, the web pages you visit will be associated with your account and will be visible to other users. This data is also sent to Twitter.
