In the following, we explain which data we collect during your visit to our website and how exactly this data is used.

1. usage data when accessed from the Internet

When you visit our web pages, our web servers temporarily store data on each individual access to our pages in a log file for statistical purposes. The following data is recorded and stored until it is automatically deleted:

The German Telemedia Act (TMG) allows the use of user profiles under a pseudonym in accordance with § 15 para. 3 TMG, as long as the user does not object to this. Should we make use of this option on our website, we will inform you of your right of objection at the appropriate point. Beyond the cases mentioned above, personal data will not be processed unless you expressly agree to further processing.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interests of the responsible party).

The above-mentioned reasons also represent the legitimate interest for data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO

The data passed on may be used by the third parties exclusively for the aforementioned purposes.

Further details are voluntary and will be used to address you personally and to clarify queries about your e-mail address. For postal dispatch, we need your address data. As a rule, we use the double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you newsletters if you confirm your registration by sending us an e-mail and a link contained in it after you have provided your e-mail address. This is to ensure that only you yourself, as the user of the e-mail address provided, can register with the newsletter service. Your confirmation must take place promptly after we send the e-mail, otherwise your registration and e-mail address will be deleted from our database. Until you confirm your registration, our newsletter service will not accept any further registrations under this e-mail address.

You can unsubscribe from a newsletter subscribed to by us at any time. To do so, you can either send us an e-mail or use a link at the end of the newsletter to cancel your subscription.
