We are pleased that you are visiting our website. Your privacy and the associated protection of your personal data are important to us. For this reason, our business activities take place in compliance with the applicable legal provisions pertaining to data protection and data security (especially the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the new version of the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA-new)). We are very keen that you should feel secure with us. For this reason, we and our data protection officer ensure that the legal data protection requirements are observed.
How you can exercise your rights.
Please read the explanations given below carefully. If you have questions, you can contact our data protection officer. His contact information is found further below in this Data Privacy Statement.
Data protection is a complex subject. In order to make it easier for you to understand a few basic meanings of this Data Privacy Statement, we have put them together for you.
Within the meaning of Art. 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), “contract processing” (in short: CP) is understood to be, in a simplified way, a service in which a service provider (contract processor acc. to the GDPR) is commissioned to collect, process and/or use personal data according to instructions. The service provider processes the personal data exclusively according to our instructions and acquires no ownership or own interest of your data. Before a carefully selected service provider is commissioned to do this, we enter into a special contract with him and take further measures to ensure that your personal data are protected.
“Cookies” are small text files stored in your terminal device (e.g. computer or smartphone) which store the specific settings and data in exchange with our system through your browser. Typically, a cookie contains the name of the visited website from which the cookie data were sent, information about the age of the cookies and an alphanumeric tag. Cookies allow the systems to recognize the user’s device and make possible defaults immediately available.
Third party is any natural person or legal entity or authority, other than the affected person, the responsible party, the contract processor and the persons who are authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the responsible party or contract processor, see Art. 4 No. 10 of the GDPR. Therefore, this is not, for example, about a third party when personal data are given to a service provider as part of contract processing in acc. with Art. 28 of the GDPR or formerly Section 11 of the FDPA.
IP addresses are numerical sequences which can be allocated to the individual IT devices or to a group. Similar to mailing addresses, the IP serves to allocate data to the right recipient.
“Personal data” are understood to be all information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person, especially name and surname, date of birth, e-mail address, residential address as well as bank and payment information, as well as health information, see Art. 4 No. 1 of theGDPR (individual information about a certain or identifiable natural person formerly in acc. with Section 3 Para. 1 of the FDPA).
“Responsible party” in acc. with Art. 4 No. 7of the GDPR (formerly “responsible authority” acc. to Section 3 Para. 7 of theFDPA) is any person or authority (here the website operator) that decides the purpose and means of the processing of personal data, either alone or together with others.
Every time this website is accessed, data are logged, which also applies to the call-up of files. In this process, we use your IP address and/or set cookies to collect the necessary technical data that your browser transmits to our server. The technically necessary data can be browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, called-up pages, duration of stay on the page, IP address, date and time of the request.
We need these data to make your visit to this website as pleasant as possible. We reserve the right to analyze the logged data for data security purposes when the situation demands it. We do not perform an individual profiling about your usage behavior. Your transmitted data are not linked or combined with other data sources.
The legal foundation for the processing of the described data – as far as they are personal – is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
When you provide us your personal data to make use of one of our offered services or to establish contact with us, we use your information to allow you the use and processing of your request. Below we will inform you about the individual services and offers as well as the associated data processing tasks along with their respective legal foundation.
When you contact us via e-mail, fax, telephone or postal delivery, we use your information for establishing contact and the purpose-oriented processing and answering of your request. Your data are not forwarded to third parties. If no other legal regulations oppose this and your request is not for preparing a contractual conclusion, we delete your information within a reasonable time period after the processing ends.
The legal foundation for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR. If your request is done for preparing/initiating a contractual conclusion with you, Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b of the GDPR is the alternative legal foundation.
You can contact us by using the contact form provided on the website. When you use the contact form, we collect and store your personal data that you have entered in the input screen (e.g. surname, name, e-mail address). We use your data only for the purpose-related processing and answering of your request. Your data are not forwarded to third parties. If no other legal regulations oppose this and your request is not for preparing a contractual conclusion, we delete your information within a reasonable time period after the processing ends.
When you contact us in a business transaction, we process your personal data that you provided us through our webpages, business requests via phone, fax or e-mail or in other business transactions. They include general contact information like your name, title, address, telephone number and e-mail address, as well as information about products or services that interest you or you bought from us. Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter b of the GDPR is the legal basis for processing your personal data for a business interaction.
Generally, the basic use of the web offerings is possible even without cookies. However, we cannot rule out a limited use of the website or lower user friendliness.
The cookies we use are so-called “session cookies” which are automatically deleted after your visit.
You can set your browser in a way to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in certain cases, accept cookies for certain cases or generally exclude them and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. The deactivation of cookies can restrict the functionality of this website.
You can delete cookies from the hard drive of your terminal device at any time. However, we cannot rule out a limited use of the website or lower user friendliness in this case as well. On his internet pages, our external data protection officer (attention: external link(s)) provides you with the guideline“Displaying, removing and deleting cookies – Data protection with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Co.”. If you use another browser, you can also obtain information about cookies on the webpages of your browser manufacturer.
Cookies necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or providing certain functions that you desire (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPRD. The website operator has a justified interest in the storage of cookies for the technically flawless and optimized provision of his services. If other cookies like those that analyze your surfing behavior are stored, they are handled separately in this Data Privacy Statement.
We collect and use your data according to legal provisions and only for our own purposes. They are not forwarded to so-called third parties unless there is a legal obligation for this or you have consented to the forwarding.
As far as we use additional service providers to make our offers possible and we possibly grant them the necessary access to your data, we have naturally concluded a contract processing agreement (in short: CPA) with them in acc. with Art. 28 of the GDPR for the contract processing (in short: contract processor). We remain responsible for the protection of your data. Because of the contractual conclusion, the used service providers are not considered so-called third parties.
A deletion of your personal data takes place as long as statutory storage obligations do not oppose it, when the data are no longer necessary for fulfilling the purpose pursued with the storage, when you have asserted a deletion claim or when your storage is not permissible owing to other legal reasons.
Unless otherwise indicated, your data are generally processed in Germany.
It can happen that within these online offers, third-party contents such as YouTube videos and map material from Google Maps or graphics from other websites are integrated. This always presupposes that the providers of these contents (hereinafter called "third-party providers") use the IP address of the users – because without it, they could generally not send the contents to the browser of the respective user. Thus, the IP address is necessary for displaying these contents. We strive to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address merely to deliver the contents, but have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. If this is known to us, we inform users about this.
This webpage uses the map service Google Maps through an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use the functions of Google Maps it is necessary to store your IP address. As a rule, this information is transmitted to a Google server in the USA to be stored there. The provider of this webpage has no influence on this data transmission.
Google Maps are used in the interest of an attractive display of our online offers and an easy finding of the places indicated on the website. This represents a justified interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
For more information on the handling of user data, consult Google’s Data Privacy Statement in: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
This webpage integrates videos through provider YouTube, YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. As part of the integration and provision of the service, it may be technically necessary to transmit technical and personally identifiable data (such as your IP address and other information) to the service provider.
YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive display of our online offers. This represents a justified interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
On our webpage, we use so-called Web Fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When our pages are called up, the needed Web Fonts are loaded into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers so Google knows that your website was called up through your IP address. The usage of Google Web Fonts takes place in the interest of a uniform and attractive display of our online offers. This represents a justified interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.
For more information about Google Web Fonts, visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and read Google’s Data Privacy Statement: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
We do not perform an analysis of your user behavior on our website.
We would like to inform you that security gaps can occur when data are transmitted online (e.g. via e-mail). Therefore, a complete protection against third-party access is not possible for us. We secure our IT systems (including the website(s)) by means of so-called technical and organizational measures (in short: TOM) against unwanted access, entry, forwarding, input, loss and dissemination as well as against destruction and modification against unauthorized parties.
Our data protection officer is your contact for safeguarding your rights as affected person (see the contact information given above).

Under the legal conditions of Art. 17 of the GDPR, you are entitled to request us to delete your personal data immediately. The right to deletion does not exist when, for example, the processing of personal data is necessary for exercising the right to free expression and information, for fulfilling a legal obligation that we are subject to (e.g. legal storage obligations) or for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
Acc. to Art. 18 of the GDPR, you can request the processing of your personal data to be restricted.
