Purposes of data processing by the responsible body and third parties:

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for any other purposes. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if: you have given your explicit consent, processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests, and there is no reason to believe that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms override those interests.

Deletion or blocking of data:

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. Therefore, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various retention periods stipulated by law. Once the respective purpose ceases to apply or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

Collection of general information when visiting our website:

When you access our website, general information is automatically collected using a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the website content you request and is automatically generated when using the internet. It is processed for the following purposes in particular:

Ensuring a smooth connection to the website, ensuring the seamless use of our website, evaluating system security and stability, and for other administrative purposes. The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest in the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about you personally. Recipients of the data are only the responsible party and, if applicable, data processors. We may statistically analyze anonymous information of this kind to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Cookies:

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This allows us to automatically receive certain data, such as your IP address, the browser you are using, your operating system, and your internet connection. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to make navigation easier for you and ensure that our website is displayed correctly. Under no circumstances will the data we collect be shared with third parties or linked to personally identifiable information without your consent.

Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. You can generally disable the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use your internet browser's help function to learn how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not function if you have disabled the use of cookies.

Use of font libraries (Google Webfonts):

To ensure our content is displayed correctly and attractively across different browsers, we use font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. To avoid multiple downloads, Google Web Fonts are cached in your browser. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access to them, content will be displayed in a standard font. Accessing font libraries automatically establishes a connection to the library provider. While it is theoretically possible that these providers collect data—though currently unclear whether and for what purposes—this is the case.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here:

Embedded YouTube videos:

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This informs YouTube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand. When a YouTube video is started, the provider sets cookies that collect information about user behavior. Users who have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ads program will not encounter such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personally identifiable usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider's privacy policy at:

Changes to our privacy policy:

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services, such as the introduction of new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

Privacy policy for the web analytics service Google Analytics:

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. We have activated IP anonymization. On this website, your IP address will therefore be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
