Rectification of incorrect personal data,
Erasure of your data stored by us,
Restriction of data processing, if we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,

If you have given us your consent, you can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority at any time. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state of your residence, your workplace, or the alleged infringement. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) along with their addresses can be found at: BfDI Supervisory Authorities.
Purposes of Data Processing by the Controller and Third Parties
We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We will only share your personal data with third parties if:
You have given your explicit consent,
The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or
The processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.
Erasure or Blocking of Data
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. Therefore, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated herein or as required by the various retention periods provided by law. After the respective purpose ceases to exist or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.
Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website
When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the website content requested by you and is strictly mandatory when using the internet. In particular, it is processed for the following purposes:
Ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,
Ensuring the trouble-free use of our website,
Evaluating system security and stability, as well as for further administrative purposes.
The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest arising from the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. The only recipients of the data are the controller and, if applicable, data processors.
Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the underlying technology.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as your IP address, browser used, operating system, and your connection to the internet.
Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate navigation for you and enable the correct display of our websites.
Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help function of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual features of our website may not function if you have deactivated the use of cookies.
Provision of Paid Services
To provide paid services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to execute your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.
SSL Encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.
Contact Form
If you contact us regarding questions of any kind via email or the contact form, you grant us your voluntary consent for the purpose of getting in touch. For this purpose, providing a valid email address is required. This is used to assign the inquiry and subsequently answer it. Providing further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. Personal data is automatically deleted after your inquiry has been resolved.
Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)
In order to display our content correctly and visually appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts on this website (Google Web Fonts). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.
Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible—though currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes—that operators of such libraries collect data.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: Google Privacy Policy.
Use of Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about the use of map functions by visitors. You can find more detailed information about data processing by Google in the Google Privacy Notice. There, you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Data Protection Center.
Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.
Embedded YouTube Videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
Anyone who has deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.
Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: Google/YouTube Privacy Policy.
Changes to Our Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
