Data & Privacy Policy

The protection and security of personal data is a high priority for us. Therefore, we abide by the rules of the German data protection laws (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz / BDSG). In the following paragraphs, we will inform you about the kind of data we collect and the reasons for the collection of those:

 

1. Data transfer / Data logging

By visiting this website, the Web-Server automatically creates log-files, which can not be attributed to an individual person. These files contain e.g. the web browser & version, used operating system, referrer URL (previously visited website), IP-address of the client computer, time/date as well as the data request of the client (file name & URL). These files are only collected for the purpose of statistical evaluation. We never sell these files to 3rd parties, be it commercial or non-commercial.

 

2. Usage of personal data

Personal data is only collected if and when these informations have been submitted freely by the user, e.g. when the user signs up for our newsletter. Unless there are necessary reasons for doing business, you may at any time revoke in writing (such as by e-mail or fax) the previously granted approval of your personal data storage with immediate effect. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties, unless disclosure is required by law.

 

3. Disclosure, modification and deletion of your data

In accordance with the BDSG, you can always ask us in writing whether and which personal data we have stored about you. A corresponding message will be sent to you as soon as possible and within 14 days.

 

4. Data security

Your personal data made available to us will be secured by taking all technical and organizational security measures so that they are inaccessible to unauthorized third parties. When sending very sensitive data or information, it is recommended to use the post office, as complete data security can not be guaranteed by e-mail.
