Collection of General Information

When you access our website, general information is automatically collected.
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 details. This consists exclusively of information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn
about your identity. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the
website content you have requested and is inevitably generated when using the Internet
. We evaluate anonymous information of this kind statistically in order to
optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Registration on our website

When registering to use our personalized services, certain
personal data is collected, such as name, address, and contact and communication details
such as phone number and email address. Once you are registered with us, you can access content and
services that we offer exclusively to registered users. Registered users also have
the option to change or delete the data provided during registration at any time
if necessary. Of course, we will also provide you with information at any time
regarding the personal data we have stored about you. We will gladly correct or
delete this data at your request, provided that no legal retention obligations
prevent us from doing so. To contact us in this regard, please use the contact information provided at the end
of this privacy policy.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use
state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via
HTTPS.

Comment Function

When users leave comments on the blog, in addition to this information, the
time of creation and the username previously selected by the website visitor
are also stored. This serves our security, as we can be held liable for unlawful content on our
website, even if it was created by users.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. We
therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the
purposes stated here or as required by the various
retention periods prescribed by law. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired
, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal
regulations.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc.
(hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your
computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website
. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this
website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there
. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your
IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in
other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area
. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the
U.S. and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this
information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on
website activity, and to provide other services related to website and
internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with
other data held by Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your

browser software settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case
you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent
. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your
use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, as well as the
processing of this data by Google, by
downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser add-on to disable
Google Analytics
.

In addition to or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google
Analytics on our pages by clicking this link
. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent
data collection by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser in the future
as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To display our content correctly and visually appealingly across all browsers,
we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google
Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/).
Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to prevent repeated loading
. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or blocks access
, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically establishes a connection
to the library operator. In doing so, 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: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographic information
. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data regarding
visitors’ use of the map features. Further
information about Google’s data processing can be found in the Google Privacy Policy

. There, you can also change your personal privacy
settings in the Privacy Center.

Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google
products can be found here.

Your rights to access, rectification, restriction, erasure, and
objection

You have the right to obtain information at any time regarding your
personal data stored by us. You also have the right to rectification,
restriction, or—except for the mandatory data retention required for
business operations—erasure of your personal data. Please contact
our Data Protection Officer for this purpose. You can find the contact details at the very bottom.

To ensure that a request to block data can be honored at any time, this data must be
retained in a blocking file for verification purposes. You may also request the deletion of the
data, provided there is no legal obligation to archive it. If such an
obligation exists, we will block your data upon request.

You may make changes or revoke your consent by notifying us
with future effect.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to occasionally update this Privacy Policy to ensure it always
complies with current legal requirements or to reflect 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.
