Collection of technically necessary data and log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are
This data is not merged with other data sources.
Secure data transmission
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This ensures that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address in your browser’s address bar and by the padlock symbol in the browser line.
Cookies
This website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” These are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies, known as “persistent cookies,” remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set, to allow cookies only in specific cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies altogether or in certain cases, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., those used to analyze your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
To allow you to define your privacy settings for visiting our website as individually as possible, we offer you the option to select your preferred categories — such as preferences, statistics, marketing, and services — at the beginning of your visit.
Necessary cookies for service provision
Necessary cookies help to make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
Services cookies
Services cookies are used to load content from external sources. Youtube is used for this.
Visitor statistics
Statistics cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously. Google Analytics is used for this purpose.
Browser plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all features of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Google Fonts
Our website uses Google Fonts provided by Google Inc. For users in the European Economic Area, the responsible entity is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). We have integrated the Google Fonts locally on our web server — not via Google’s servers. As a result, no connection to Google’s servers is established, and no data is transmitted or stored by Google.
Google Ads
Our website uses the service “Google Ads” from Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Ads enables us to promote our products and services through advertisements on external websites. These advertisements are delivered via so-called “AdServers.” For this purpose, AdServer cookies are used to measure user interactions (e.g., clicks). If you reach our website via a Google ad, a cookie will be stored on your PC by Google Ads. These cookies usually expire after 30 days. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers.
We do not collect or process any personal data in the course of these advertising measures. We receive only statistical evaluations from Google. These reports do not allow us to identify users. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. If you have a Google user account and are logged in, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered or logged in, it is possible that Google may obtain and store your IP address.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and disabling the storage of cookies in your browser settings. Please note that doing so may result in limited functionality of our website. You can also block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” by configuring your browser accordingly: https://www.google.de/settings/ads. Please note that this setting will be deleted if you clear your cookies.
Additionally, you can deactivate interest-based advertising at the following link: http://optout.aboutads.info. Please note that this setting will also be deleted if you clear your cookies.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics. The provider of this web analytics service is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies to enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server, which is typically located in the USA.
As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to improve our web offering and, where applicable, optimize advertising.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operator, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required to do so by law or if such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully use all features of this website.
By using this website, you consent to the processing of data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the purposes stated.
You can object to the collection of data by Google Analytics with effect for the future by installing a deactivation add-on (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) for your browser.
As an alternative to the browser add-on or within browsers on mobile devices, please click this link to prevent future tracking by Google Analytics on this website (this opt-out only works in this browser and only for this domain). An opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will need to click the link again.
IP anonymization
We use Google Analytics in combination with the IP anonymization feature. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. In exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. These data are derived from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data provided by third parties. The data cannot be associated with any specific individual. You can deactivate this feature at any time. This can be done via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally disabling the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section “Objection to data collection.”
Objection to data collection
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which will prevent the collection of your data on future visits to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics. For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
Web analysis service matomo
We also use Matomo, a privacy-friendly web analytics tool, without cookies. Returning visitors are identified only by means of an encrypted identifier based on the anonymized IP address and browser settings on the user’s side. This identifier is reset every 24 hours. This allows us to analyze visitor behavior on our website without being able to draw conclusions about the identity of individual users. The data collected by Matomo is processed exclusively by us and is not shared with third parties (matomo.org).
Social media platforms
To increase awareness of our company and its products, we maintain online presences on various social media platforms. The legal basis for processing your personal data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Links to our social media profiles are simple web links; they merely redirect you to the respective platform. All content we provide on these social media platforms is accessible even if you are not a fan or registered member. No registration is required.
Any data you post on our social media pages — such as comments, videos, or images — will not be used by us for other purposes or passed on to third parties. If you contact us via a platform’s messenger function, we process the information you provide solely for communication with you. The data will be stored only as long as necessary for this purpose.
As the operator of our social media presences, we have no influence over how the platform providers process your data. It cannot be ruled out that the social media providers may use your profile data and/or share it with third parties. Please use social media platforms only if you are aware of and accept these potential consequences. When using our social media pages, please note that your data may also be processed outside the European Union, where enforcement of your data protection rights may be more difficult. Some providers are certified under the Privacy Shield framework and have committed to complying with European data protection standards.
If you are asked by the respective provider of the social media platform for consent to the processing of your personal data, the consent refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.
If you wish to make a request for information or assert your other rights with regard to the processing of your personal data on the social media platforms, you must address this request directly to the provider of the corresponding social media platforms. Only they have direct access to your personal data and can provide the relevant information.

External links
On our website we offer you external links to our partners and service providers. You can recognize the external link to a third-party website by the green font color and the index finger that appears when you move the cursor over the lettering. This data protection declaration does not extend to the pages of the external providers; the respective providers’ own data protection declarations apply there.
Contact forms
Data submitted via the contact form, including contact details, will be stored in order to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions.
The processing of data entered into the contact form is based solely on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or for the performance of a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal message by email is sufficient for the withdrawal. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Your data will not be passed on to third parties, unless this is necessary for the performance of a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, or if there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or there is no longer any need to store the data. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Disclosure to third parties
Before entering into a contract, it may be necessary to check the creditworthiness of a new customer. This is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. For this purpose, we work with Creditreform Stuttgart Strahler KG, Theodor-Heuss-Str. 2, 70174 Stuttgart, and Creditreform Boniversum GmbH, Hammfelddamm, 41460 Neuss, from whom we obtain the necessary data.
