2. a) Notice
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

We point out that the data transmission in the Internet (eg in the communication by E-Mail) can exhibit security gaps. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection can not be guaranteed.

3. a) Cookies
The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and stored by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally exclude and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you wish to use (eg shopping cart function) are processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO saved. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (eg cookies for the analysis of your surfing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
3.b) 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
used operating system
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request

A merge of this data with other data sources will not be done.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which allows the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
3.c) Contact
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data entered by you in the contact form remain with us until you ask us for deletion, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage is omitted (eg after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially retention periods - remain unaffected.
4. Analysis tools
4.a) We use "Google Analytics", a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies".
The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we have activated IP anonymization. Please note that on our website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "gat._anonymizeIp ();" in order to ensure an anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP-Masking). Google's IP address on this website is therefore shortened 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 your full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other website and internet related services. For this we have a contract processing agreement with Google.
The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
4.b) Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for processing users' personal data is Article 6 (1) lit. f) DS-GMO.
4.c Purpose of the data processing
The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By analyzing the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of the data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DS-GMO. The anonymisation of the IP address sufficiently takes into account the interest of users in their protection of personal data.
4.d) Duration of storage
DThe data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our recording purposes.
4.e) Opposition and removal possibility
