Data protection
The operators of these sites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection provisions and this data protection declaration.
Various personal data is collected when you use this website. Data with which you can be personally identified is personal data. This data protection declaration explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for which purpose that is done.
We hereby inform you that there can be security gaps when transferring data online (e.g. email communication). It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
SSL / TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect confidential content during transfer, for instance orders or enquiries that you send to us, the site operators, this site uses SSL / TSL encryption. You can see that a connection is encrypted because your browser's address line changes from http:// to https:// and the padlock symbol appears in your browser bar.
When SSL / TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies
These websites sometimes use what are known as cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer in any way and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our online presence more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files which are deposited on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are what are known as session cookies. They are automatically erased at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain saved on your end device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the placing of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, to block cookies in certain cases or in general, and you can activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser. Deactivating cookies can restrict the functionalities of this website.
Cookies which are required to perform electronic communication or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. checkout function) are saved in accordance with Section 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in the saving of cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies which analyse your surfing behaviour) are saved, they shall be dealt with specifically in this data protection declaration.
Server log files
The provider of these sites automatically collects and saves information in what are known as server log files, which your browser automatically forwards to us. This information is:
- browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of accessing computer
- time of server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is processed in accordance with Section 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, we shall save the details in the enquiry form including the contact data you provide for the purpose of processing your enquiry and for potential subsequent questions. We shall not forward this data without your consent.
The data entered into the contact form is therefore processed exclusively with your consent (Section 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message via email is sufficient. This does not affect the legality of data processing carried out prior to revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form is retained by us until you request us to erase it, revoke your consent to it being saved, or the purpose for data saving no longer applies (e.g. after final processing of your enquiry). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly storage periods, remain unaffected.
5. Plugins and tools
Google Maps
This site uses the Google Maps service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use the Google Maps function, it is necessary to save your IP address. As a rule, this information is sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is then saved. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.
Google Maps is used in the interest of making our online presence appealing and to allow the locations disclosed on our website to be found easily. This constitutes a justified interest in accordance with Section 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
