‍Privacy policy for SSL/TLS encryption
‍This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Data transmission security (without for SSL/TLS encryption)
‍Please note that data transmitted via an open network such as the internet or an email service without SSL encryption can be viewed by anyone. You can recognize an unencrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser displays "http://" and no lock symbol is displayed in your browser line. Information transmitted via the Internet and content received online may be transmitted via third-party networks. We cannot guarantee the confidentiality of communications or materials transmitted over such open or third-party networks, and if you disclose personal information over an open or third-party network, you should be aware that your information may be lost or potentially accessed by third parties who may collect and use the information without your consent. Although in many cases the individual data packets are transmitted in encrypted form, the names of the sender and recipient are not. Even if the sender and recipient live in the same country, data is often transmitted via such networks without controls, including via third countries, i.e. countries that do not offer the same level of data protection as your country of domicile. We accept no responsibility for the security of your data during transmission via the Internet and disclaim any liability for direct or indirect losses. We ask you to use other means of communication if you consider this necessary or reasonable for security reasons.
Despite extensive technical and organizational security precautions, data may be lost or intercepted and/or manipulated by unauthorized persons. As far as possible, we take appropriate technical and organizational security measures to prevent this within our system. However, your computer is located outside the security area under our control. It is your responsibility as a user to inform yourself about the necessary security precautions and to take appropriate measures in this regard. As the website operator, we are in no way liable for any damage that you may suffer as a result of data loss or manipulation.

‍Communication by email or otherwise
‍It goes without saying that your email address and content that you send to us will be recorded and processed if you contact us by email; the same applies to telephone and letter contact. We retain this data (and for as long as necessary) in order to respond to your inquiries and, if necessary, where we are legally obliged to do so or in order to protect our rights.

‍Data protection declaration for newsletter data
‍If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.our newsletters may contain so-called tracking pixels. These are tiny graphics that are embedded in HTML-programmed e-mails, send a signal back to the server and thus allow us to recognize whether and when an e-mail has been opened. This can also be recognized when links in the e-mail are opened. This makes it possible to record and evaluate a log file for the purpose of statistical analysis, e.g. about the newsletter's appeal. We use this to improve the newsletter and its distribution. We may use external services for such evaluations, which naturally also receive certain data. You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe link" in the newsletter.

‍Server logs (log files)
‍You can use the website without providing any personal data. However, every time you visit our website - as elsewhere on the Internet - you leave a "footprint" of data (mostly technical, so-called server log data), which may include, among other things: The IP address and internet service provider of your connection, browser type and versions and the operating system of the device you use to access us, the request from your browser, the website you came from (for example, a search engine where you found us; so-called "referrers"), the individual pages you view on our website, the date and time of access.

‍Privacy policy for Google Analytics
‍This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, a web analysis service of Google Inc. with registered office at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.A. ("Google").

If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google".

We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which are carried out via a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your use in the settings under "My data", "Personal data".

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: Install browser plug-in.

You can also prevent the use of Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Deactivate Google Analytics. This will store an opt-out cookie on your data carrier, which prevents the processing of personal data by Google Analytics. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your device, these opt-out cookies will also be deleted, i.e. you will have to set the opt-out cookies again if you want to continue to prevent this form of data collection. The opt-out cookies are set for each browser and computer/end device and must therefore be activated separately for each browser, computer or other end device.

‍Privacy policy for Google Ads
‍This website uses the online marketing tool Google Ads from Google ("Google Ads"). Google Ads uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, Google Ads can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out your IP address and store it.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:
-by setting your browser software accordingly; in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies means that you will not receive any ads from third-party providers;
-by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://adssettings.google.com, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies;
by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices,wobei, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;
-by permanently deactivating it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
