As an international company we use external service providers. If the data they process have personal content, contractual agreements have been concluded and organisational measures have been taken to ensure the security of your data.
In our company, compliance with legal provisions and this statement is monitored by our data protection organisation. Our employees are trained in handling personal data and are bound by written agreements to comply with the data protection regulations.
It is normally possible to use our website without needing to provide personal data. If personal data (for example, name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis, as far as possible.
Please note that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can be subject to loopholes in security. Protecting your data from unauthorised access through measures such as pseudonymisation, data minimisation, compliance with erasure deadlines and keeping up with the latest technical developments is a very important goal for us. However, despite these protective measures, we cannot entirely rule out illegal processing by third parties.

Each data record consists of:
• the page where the file was requested ("referrer URL")
• name and URL of the retrieved data
• date and time of access ("time stamp")
• data identifying the browser and operating system
• report whether access was successful (file transferred, file not found etc)
• name of your internet browser (e.g. Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc)
