This website collects a range of general data and information each time it is accessed. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. These log files do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you and your person. The corresponding information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the amount of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet provider, the referrer URL as the page from which you switched to our site, and the corresponding IP address.

Our website uses SSL encryption when it comes to the transmission of confidential or personal content from our users. This encryption is activated, for example, when processing payment transactions and for enquiries that you send to us via our website. Please make sure that SSL encryption is activated on your side for corresponding activities. The use of encryption is easy to recognise: The display in your browser line changes from “http://” to “https://”. Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Only send your confidential information if SSL encryption is activated.

We use a plugin of the internet service Google Maps on our website. The operator of Google Maps is Google Inc, based in the USA, CA 94043, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View.
When you use Google Maps on our website, information about the use of this website and your IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and also stored on this server.

We use social plug-ins from Facebook, Instagram and LikedIn on our website. We use plug-ins in particular to enable you to share content from our website with other users of social networks or to draw their attention to such content. You can recognise the provider of the respective plug-in by its logo or initial letter.
When you visit our website, we do not initially transmit any personal data to the providers of the plug-ins. However, if you click on the social plug-in, your personal data will be transmitted directly to the provider of the respective plug-in and processed by them – possibly in third countries, such as the USA. After clicking on the plug-in field, a new window opens in your browser and calls up the page of the provider of the respective social network. Data is transmitted to the provider of the respective plug-in regardless of whether you have an account with the social network of the plug-in provider. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider.
We have no influence on the type and scope of the data that is collected and processed through the use of the plug-ins, nor are we aware of the full scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the storage periods. According to the plug-in providers themselves, the data transmitted includes information about your browser, the websites visited and the date and time of the visit. The plug-in providers process this information, for example, to create user profiles of you and to display customised advertising. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise your right to object. Further information on this can be found on the websites and data protection notices of the respective providers.

We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unwanted and unsolicited sending of advertising material. We would like to point out that the unauthorised transmission of advertising material may affect competition law, civil law and criminal law.
