We take data protection seriously
Protecting your privacy when processing your personal data is an important issue for us.

Personal data
Personal data are data about your identity. These include your name, your address and your e-mail address. You do not need to reveal any personal data in order to be able to visit our website. In a number of cases, we will require your name and address, along with other information, in order to be able to offer you the service you require.
The same applies in the event of a request for delivery of information material, or a response to your inquiries. In these cases, we will always advise you of this. Furthermore, we only save the data that you sent us automatically or voluntarily.
When you use one of our services, we generally only collect the data that are necessary to be able to offer you our services. We might ask you for further information; however you are under no obligation to provide it. Whenever we process personal data, we do so in order to be able to offer you our services, or in order to pursue our commercial interests.
Automatically saved non-personal data
When you visit our websites, we save certain information for administrative and technical reasons. These include: The type and version of the browser used, data and time of access, and the IP address.
These data are saved anonymously, and are only used for statistical purposes or for improving our Internet-based and online services.
These data are saved in an anonymized form on secure systems – where they are kept separate from personal data – and cannot be allocated to individual persons. This means that your personal data will remain protected at all times.
Cookies
When you visit our websites, we might save information on your computer in the form of cookies. Cookies are small files that are sent to your browser by an Internet server, and are saved to the computer's hard disk. The legal basis for the use of cookies is described in Article 6, Paragraph 1, Point (f) of the GDPR.
This only involves saving the Internet protocol address – no other personal data are saved. The information that is saved in the cookies allows your next visit to our website to be recognized automatically, which makes it easier for you to use it.
Of course, you can also visit our websites without accepting cookies. If you do not wish your computer to be recognized the next time you visit our website, you can also prevent the use of cookies by changing the settings in your browser to “Do not accept cookies”. The respective procedure can be found in the user guide to your respective browser. If you prevent cookies from being used, this may limit the functionality of some sections of our websites.
Google-Analytics with anonymization function
We employ Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, and referred to as “Google” in the following, on our website. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files that are placed on your computer and thereby allow your use of the website to be analyzed.
The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place and frequency of your website visits, including your IP address, is sent to Google in the USA, and are saved there.
We use Google Analytics with the addendum “_gat._anonymizeIp” on our website. In this case, your IP address will be saved in an abbreviated form within the member states of the European Union, or in other states party to the agreement on the European Economic Area, and are thereby anonymized.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website in order to compile reports for us about website activities, and to provide other services associated with use of the website and Internet use. Google will also forward this information to third parties in the event that this is legally required, or when third parties process these data on behalf of Google.
Google will not, according to its own statements, associate your IP address with other data held by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by making the corresponding setting in your browser program; however, we would like to advise you that you may not, in this case, be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.
Furthermore, Google provides an opt-out add-on for the most widely used browsers, which gives you more control over which data about the websites you access are collected by Google. The add-on signals the JavaScript (ga.js) used by Google Analytics that no information about the visit to the website should be sent to Google Analytics. Google Analytics’ opt-out add-on for browsers does not, however, prevent information from being sent to us or to other web analysis services that we might use. More information about installation of the browser add-on can be found using the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
If you visit our website using a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you will need to click this link instead in order to prevent tracking by Google Analytics within this website in future. This is also possible as an alternative to the aforementioned browser add-on. By clicking the link, an opt-out cookie is set in your browser that is only valid for this browser and this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, then the opt-out cookie will also be deleted, meaning you will need to click the link again.
If you have given your consent to Google linking your web and app browser history with your Google account, and information from your Google account being used to personalize advertisements, then Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data in order to compile target group lists to enable cross-device remarketing. To do so, your Google-authenticated ID, which is linked to your Google account (and is therefore personal data), is first collected on our website by Google Analytics. Your ID is then temporarily linked to your Google Analytics data by Google Analytics in order to optimize our target groups.
If you do not wish to give your consent to this, then you can disable this function by making the corresponding settings in the “My Account” area of your Google account.
Google DoubleClick
DoubleClick by Google is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

The cookies do not contain any personal information. The use of DoubleClick cookies only allows Google and its partner websites to place advertisements on the basis of previous visits to our, or other, websites on the Internet. The information generated by cookies is sent to a server in the USA by Google for evaluation, where it is saved. Google observes the data protection regulations in the “Privacy Shield” framework, and is registered with the “Privacy Shield” program run by the US Ministry of Trade. Google will only send data to third parties due to legal provisions or within the scope of order data processing. Google will never combine your data with other data collected by Google.

YouTube in advanced data protection mode
We use the hosting service YouTube to embed videos. The videos have been embedded in advanced data protection mode. However, and like most websites, YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about the visitors to its website. Among other things, YouTube uses this information to collect statistics on videos, to prevent fraud and to improve user-friendliness. This also results in a connection being made with the Google DoubleClick network. When you start playing the video, this may trigger other data processing operations. We cannot influence this. More information about data protection at YouTube can be found in the YouTube Privacy Policy at: http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube
