Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data in confidence and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection statement.

When you use this web site, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data is information with which you can be personally identified. This data protection statement explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this takes place.

We would like to point out that data transmission via the Internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) may have security gaps. Comprehensive protection of the data from access by third parties is not possible.

Withdrawal of your consent for data processing

Many data processing procedures are only possible if you have given your express consent. You can withdraw consent which you have already given at any time. Sending informal notification to us by e-mail is sufficient to do this. The legality of the data processing which has already taken place beforehand remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to complain to the responsible supervisory authority

The responsible supervisory authority for matters concerning data protection law is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or to fulfil a contract handed over to yourself or a third party in a common machine-readable format. If you request direct transmission of the data to another responsible party, this will only take place if it is technically possible.

Cookies

The web pages use so-called cookies in some cases. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer, and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offerings user-friendlier, more effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files which are copied to your computer and stored by your browser.

The majority of cookies which we use are so-called “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on the terminal device until you delete them. These cookies make it possible for us to recognise your browser during your next visit.

You can set your browser in such a way so that you are notified about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in isolated cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of the cookies when the browser is closed. Deactivating cookies can restrict the functionality of this web site.

Cookies which are required in order to carry out the electronic communication procedure or to provide certain functions which you require (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The web site operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for technical problem-free and optimised provision of its services. If other cookies are stored (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour), they are dealt with separately in this data protection statement.

Server log files

We use the data to analyse the use of the web site. The data that is collected is not passed to third parties.

The IP addresses are anonymised (IP masking) so that assignment to individual users is not possible.
