General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where data processing is based on Article 6(1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data in question, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR). If your personal data is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purposes of direct marketing (objection under Article 21(2) of the GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Access, restriction, erasure and rectification
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification, restriction or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this matter and any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this matter. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Data collection on our website
Cookies
This website uses cookies in some cases. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1) (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider 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
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1) (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected. The server log files are hosted exclusively in Germany.
Enquiries by email
If you contact us by email, your enquiry, including all personal data contained therein (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1) (b) of the GDPR, provided that your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1) (a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1) (f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Plugins and tools
Google Fonts (locally hosted)
This website uses so-called Google Fonts, provided by Google LLC, to ensure consistent font display. These fonts are hosted locally on our server, meaning that no connection is established with Google's servers when you visit this website.
Due to the local integration, no personal data (in particular no IP addresses) is transmitted to Google.
Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=en and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
External links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites operated by providers not affiliated with us. Once you click on the link, we no longer have any influence over the collection, processing and use of any personal data transferred to the third party when you click on the link (such as the IP address or the URL of the page on which the link is located), as the actions of third parties are, by their very nature, beyond our control. We accept no responsibility for the processing of such personal data by third parties.
If you click on the link to a third-party offer or activate it by clicking, personal data may be transferred to providers in countries outside the European Economic Area which, from the European Union's ("EU") perspective, do not guarantee an “adequate level of protection” for the processing of personal data in accordance with EU standards.
Please refer to the privacy policy of the relevant provider for further information on data processing.
Right to make changes
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy at any time, in accordance with legal requirements. We therefore recommend that you check our website regularly to keep up to date with our current data protection practices.
