Data protection
The provider takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and complies strictly with the rules of the Data protection act. This website collects personal date only to the necessary technical extent. The collected data is never sold or made available to third parties for other reasons.

The following declaration provides you an overview of how we ensure this protection and what type of data is collected for what purpose. The visitor is hereinafter referred to as user (NU) and the website operator as provider (AN).

Data processing on this internet site
The inevitable server statistics (server log files) automatically store the data which the user’s browser transfers to the provider.
This data is for the provider and normally cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not consolidated with other data sources, and the data is deleted after a statistical analysis.

Cookies
The Internet pages make use of so-called cookies at several places. They help in making our offering more user-friendly, effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies used by us are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. To prevent placing cookies from the website on the PC, the internet browser must be set such that it deletes cookies from the hard disk of the PC, blocks all cookies or warns before a cookie is saved.

E-Mail
The AN strives with all necessary technical and organisational security measures to save personal data of the NU in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties or the public. If the NU wishes to contact the AN via email (also applies to the contact form), the AN refers to the fact that the confidentiality of the transferred information cannot be ensured completely for this channel of communication. The AN therefore recommends to the NU that confidential information should be sent by post only.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service offered by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i. e. text files that are stored on your computer and allow for the analysis of the use of the website by you.

Google might also submit such information to third parties where this is legally required or if such third parties have been ordered by Google to process this data. Under no circumstances will Google link your IP address with other data stored by Google. You may prevent installation of cookies by changing the corresponding settings of your browser software; however, we wish to advise you that, in such case, you might not be able to use all functions on this website to the full extent. By using this website, you agree to the data collected on you being processed by Google in the way described above and for the purpose indicated above.

Please note that our website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” so that IP addresses are only recorded in abbreviated form and any direct reference to a person is excluded.
