An Overview of Data Protection
The following provides a simple overview of what kind of personal data we collect, why we collect them, and how we handle your data when you visit or use our website. Personal data refers to any information by which you could be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in the full privacy policy below.
The data collected on this website is processed by the website operator. The operator’s contact information can be found in the legally required imprint on the website.
Part of the data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website. Other data may be used to analyze user behavior.
You have the right to receive information, free of charge, at any time about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request that your data be corrected, blocked, or deleted. For further questions about data protection, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. Additionally, you may file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory authority.
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various types of personal data will be collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose it is processed.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email is sufficient for this purpose. Data processed prior to the revocation may still be processed legally.
If there has been a breach of data protection regulations, you have the right to file a complaint with the competent regulatory authority.
You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract provided to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
If you enter into a contract that requires you to provide payment information (e.g., account numbers for direct debits), this data will be needed to process your payment.
Payment transactions using standard payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are exclusively conducted via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser's address bar when it changes from "http://" to "https://" and a lock symbol appears in your browser bar.
In cases of encrypted communication, your payment data cannot be accessed by third parties.
As permitted by law, you have the right to be informed at any time about your stored personal data, their origin, their recipient, and the purpose of their processing free of charge. You also have the right to request that your data be corrected, blocked, or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint for further questions about personal data.
We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website reserve the right to take legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as spam emails, is received.
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser.
Most cookies we use are “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser upon your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communication or provide certain functions you want to use (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service free of technical errors. If other cookies (e.g., those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
These data will not be combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which allows data processing for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
If you submit questions to us via a contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email is sufficient to do so. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fulfilled). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected.
We transmit personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfill the terms of your contract, for example, to companies entrusted with the delivery of goods to your location or banks entrusted to process your payments. Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose unless you have given your explicit permission to do so. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which allows data processing for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses "cookies," which are text files stored on your computer to help analyze your website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymized before it is stored.
Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
The storage of Matomo cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.
The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website will not be shared with third parties. You can prevent these cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that doing so may limit the functionality of this website.
If you do not agree with the storage and use of your data, you can disable this feature here. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser to prevent Matomo from storing your usage data. If you delete your cookies, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted. You will then need to reactivate it when you return to our website.
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected, or it is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, e.g., via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of any data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point it will be deleted. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected.
For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, your browser must establish a direct connection to Google's servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. Further information about handling user data can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
We reserve the right to make changes to this privacy policy at any time to reflect updates to our website or changes in legal requirements. The current version of the privacy policy can always be found on this page.
