Information about the collection of personal data

In the following, we describe the collection of personal data when you use our website. Personal data refers to all data that make an individual identifiable, be it directly via their name or indirectly via additional information.

When you contact us via email or via a contact form, we will save the data you provide (your email address, and your name and telephone number if need be) in order to respond to your question. We will delete any data collected in the course of this once storage is no longer necessary, or restrict the processing if statutory retention periods apply.

Where we use contracted service providers for individual features of our offering or if we would like to use your data for commercial purposes, we will inform you of the respective processes in detail below. In such cases we will also outline the defined storage duration criteria.

Your rights

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies will be stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files which are saved on your hard drive in the folder of whichever browser you are using and which transmit certain information to the party setting the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot run programs or install viruses on your computer. They serve to make our website more user-friendly and effective.

Use of cookies:

This website uses the following types of cookies – the scale of these and how they work is outlined in the following:

Transient cookies
Persistent cookies

Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser window. These include session cookies in particular. These cookies store a session ID that can be used to allocate various queries from your browser to a single session. This allows your computer to be re-identified if you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser window.

Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a predefined period of time that can vary from cookie to cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the settings of your browser.

You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and reject the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies, for instance. Please note you may then not be able to make full use of all the features of this website.

We use cookies to identify you in subsequent visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise you would have to log in again for each subsequent visit.

We also use HTML5 storage objects which are stored on your device. These objects save the necessary data regardless of the browser you use and have no automatic expiry date. If you want to prevent flash cookies processing you must install a corresponding add-on, e.g. Better Privacy for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash Killer cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using your browser in private mode. We also recommend manually deleting your cookies and browser history on a regular basis.

Right of access
