Data protection (general)

When you access our website, general information (so-called server log files) is automatically recorded. This includes the web browser you use, your operating system and your Internet service provider. This data does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you personally and is statistically evaluated by us in order to improve our website technically and in terms of content.

The website can generally be used without providing personal data. If personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

If a contractual relationship is to be established, its content designed or changed, or if you send us an inquiry, we collect and use personal data from you to the extent that this is necessary for this purpose (master data). We collect, process and use personal data to the extent that this is necessary to enable you to use the website (usage data). All personal data is only stored for as long as it is necessary for the stated purpose (processing your inquiry or executing a contract). We take tax and commercial law retention periods into account. At the order of the responsible authorities, we must provide information about this data (master data) in individual cases to the extent that this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger, to fulfill the statutory duties of the constitutional protection authorities or the Military Counterintelligence Service, or to enforce intellectual property rights.

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