We are pleased that you are interested in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. Below, we provide detailed information about how we handle your data.

  1. Access Data and Hosting
    You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which includes the requested file's name, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transmitted, and the requesting provider (access data). These access data are only evaluated to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the site and to improve our offerings. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the proper display of our offering according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All access data are processed only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined above.


1.1 Hosting
The services for hosting and displaying the website are partially provided by our service providers in the context of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise explained in this privacy policy, all access data, as well as all data collected via forms on this website, are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers or the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact options described in this privacy policy.

Our service providers are based in and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection: USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA serves as the basis for third-country data transfers, provided the respective service provider is certified. U.S. service providers are generally certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If the service providers are not certified under the DPF, standard contractual clauses have been concluded as appropriate safeguards.

1.2 Content Delivery Network
To improve loading times, we use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) for some services. With this service, content such as large media files is delivered via regionally distributed servers of external CDN providers. Consequently, access data is processed on the servers of the service providers. Our service providers are acting on our behalf in the context of data processing. If you have any questions about our service providers or the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact options described in this privacy policy.
