Privacy Policy
Translated by Deepl (https://www.deepl.com/de/translator)
Valid Area
This privacy policy explains to users the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the operator (hereinafter "provider") on its websites (hereinafter "offer"). The legal principles of data protection can be found in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).
Access data / server log files
The provider (or his web space provider) collects data about each access to the offer (so-called server log files). The access data includes:
Name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, user's operating system, referrer URL (previously visited page), IP address (anonymised) and the requesting provider.
The provider's web space provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently check the log data if there are concrete indications of justified suspicion of illegal use.
Users can visit the website and make full use of it without providing any personal information.
Contact
When contacting the provider (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), the personal data provided by the user (e.g. the telephone number provided by the user) is used exclusively to fulfil the wishes and requirements of the user, i.e. as a rule to answer his enquiry.
Personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless this is necessary to answer the enquiry or the provider is obliged to do so by law or court order.
If users within our offer call up pages and files and are requested to enter data about themselves, the provider points out that this data transfer via the Internet is unsecured and the data can therefore be taken note of or falsified by unauthorized persons.
Newsletter subscriber list (if available)
The contact data and e-mail address in a (possibly existing) newsletter subscription list in which users have registered are only stored in the content management system on the web server and are not passed on to third parties or used for other purposes. This data is protected against unauthorized access.
Integration of third-party services and content
Within this online offer, third-party content such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") perceive the IP address of the user. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. The provider makes every effort to use only those contents whose respective provider only uses the IP address to deliver the contents. However, the provider has no influence on this if the third party provider stores the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as this is known to the provider, he informs the users.
Links to websites of other providers
The online offer of the provider contains links to websites of other providers. The provider has no influence on the contents and data protection handling of third party sites and does not adopt their contents as his own.
No user statistics with Google Analytics
This offer and the underlying CMS system does not use any functions of Google Analytics as far as the provider is aware. The provider deliberately does not use Google Analytics or comparable external services! Instead, he uses, if at all, the analysis tool Piwik/Matomo, whose data is stored exclusively on the provider's web server.
User statistics with Piwik/Matomo (if implemented)
Piwik/Matomo is an open source program for web analytics. It is an alternative to Google Analytics, but without data storage by Google. The functionality includes:
Statistics about page impressions on day periods cumulated and as real-time log
Unique visits with third party cookies
Visitor analysis (countries of origin, browser, operating system)
referer analysis
target definition
Campaign and target tracking for e-commerce
Anonymisation of the IP address for data protection purposes
Compared to Google Analytics, Piwik has the advantage of storing sensitive log data on its own server.
After Google Analytics, Piwik is the most widely used web analytics tool in Germany.

These data are evaluated exclusively for the improvement of our offer and allow no conclusion on your person.
Use of cookies
This offer uses so-called "cookies". A cookie is a short text snippet that is sent from a website visited by the user to the user's browser. It is stored as a small text file locally in the memory of the Internet browser used on the computer used by the user. Cookies may store information about the user's last visit, preferred language or other settings. This offer uses cookies only for necessary purposes. For example, it uses cookies to assist the user in navigating the website. This enables the user to find his way around the website more quickly and to use it more effectively the next time he calls it up. The offer's cookies do not store (collect) any personal data about the user.
The information generated by the cookie about the use of this service is not transmitted to external servers (such as Google) and is therefore not stored elsewhere. The CMS system on which this offer is based is set to IP anonymisation, as a result of which the IP address of the user is shortened by the system. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a server of the provider's provider and shortened there.
If the user does not wish the offer to set cookies, the user can set his Internet browser so that he deletes cookies from the computer hard disk, blocks all cookies or warns the user before a cookie is stored.
Alternatively, the user can also prevent the setting of cookies by installing appropriate additional tools. The provider points out, however, that in this case it is possible that not all functions of this website can be used to the full extent.
This offer does not use web bugs or "clear GIFs" (small graphics in HTML e-mails or on web pages) intentionally for the purpose of visitor recording. As far as the provider is aware, only cookies as described above are used on his pages.
