When you access our website, general information (so-called server log files) is automatically collected. This includes the web browser you use, your operating system, and your Internet service provider. This data does not allow any conclusions about your identity and is analyzed statistically to improve the technical and content aspects of our website. The collection of this information is necessary to properly deliver the website’s content.

The use of the website is generally possible without providing personal data. If personal data (e.g., name, address, or email address) is collected, this is done, wherever possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent.

If a contractual relationship is established, modified, or terminated, or if you make an inquiry to us, we collect and use personal data only to the extent necessary for these purposes (inventory data). We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to enable the use of the web service (usage data). All personal data are stored only as long as necessary for the stated purpose (e.g., handling your request or completing a contract) and in compliance with statutory retention periods for tax and commercial purposes. Upon the request of competent authorities, we may disclose data (inventory data) in individual cases if this is required for criminal prosecution, risk prevention, fulfilling the legal tasks of constitutional protection authorities, the military counter-intelligence service, or the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

We explicitly point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., via email communication) may have security gaps. A complete protection of data against unauthorized access is not possible.

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertisements and information materials is expressly prohibited. Exceptions are made for existing business relationships or if we have given prior consent.

The providers and all third parties mentioned on this website expressly reserve the right to take legal steps in the event of unsolicited advertising materials being sent. The same applies to the commercial use and disclosure of data.
