A transfer or other use of the data does not take place. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively, if specific evidence points to unlawful use.
You can use our online offer without disclosure of your identity and without providing personal data. Insofar as there is the possibility of providing personal data (for example name, e-mail address, telephone number) within our online service, you expressly provide this information on a voluntary basis, for example as part of a registration, subscription for a newsletter or via the contact form. The data voluntarily provided by you will only be stored and used by us for the purpose for which you have given us the data.
