Privacy Policy
- General information and principles of data processing
We are pleased that you are visiting our website. The protection of your privacy and the protection of your personal data, so-called personal data, when using our website is important to us.
According to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your first and last name, your address, your telephone number, your email address, but also your IP address.
Data for which no reference to your person can be established, for example through anonymization, is not personal data. Processing (e.g. collection, storage, retrieval, consultation, use, transmission, erasure or destruction) in accordance with Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data must be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any statutory retention obligations to be complied with.
Here you will find information on how we handle your personal data when you visit our website. In order to provide the functions and services of our website, it is necessary for us to collect personal data about you.
We also explain to you the type and scope of the respective data processing, the purpose and the corresponding legal basis and the respective storage period.
This privacy policy applies only to this website. It does not apply to other websites to which we merely refer via a hyperlink. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your personal data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please refer directly to these websites for information on how these companies handle your personal data.
