Protecting your data is very important to us. To fully inform you about the use of personal data, please review the following privacy information.
Personal Data
Personal data that you submit electronically on this website, such as your name, email address, address, or other personal details, will only be used by us for the stated purpose, kept secure, and not disclosed to third parties. The provider automatically collects and stores information on the web server, such as the browser used, operating system, referrer page, IP address, time of access, etc. This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals without examining further data sources, and we do not further evaluate this data unless there is unlawful use of our website.
Form Data and Comments
If website visitors leave comments or form entries, the data entered and their IP addresses are stored. This is done for security purposes, in case someone posts illegal content (insults, left-wing or right-wing extremist propaganda, hate speech, etc.). In such cases, we are interested in the identity of the author.

Cookies help us determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our internet pages, as well as to make our offers convenient and efficient for you. We use session cookies, which are temporarily stored exclusively for the duration of your use of our website, and permanent cookies, to record information about visitors who repeatedly access our website. The purpose of using these cookies is to offer optimal user guidance, recognize visitors, and present the most attractive website and interesting content possible during repeated use. The content of a permanent cookie is limited to an identification number. Your name, IP address, etc., are not stored. No individual profiling of your usage behavior takes place. Our services can also be used without cookies. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser, restrict it to certain websites, or set your web browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, …) to notify you as soon as a cookie is sent. You can also delete cookies from your PC’s hard drive at any time. Please note, however, that in this case, you may experience a limited display of the page and restricted user guidance.

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies that enable an analysis of your use of our website.
