PROTECTION OF YOUR PRIVACY
In principle, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. surname, first name, telephone number, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our website, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. Personal data is treated as strictly confidential and is neither sold nor passed on to third parties. Every person is entitled to protection of their privacy and protection against misuse of their personal data, based on the provisions of data protection law (Data Protection Act, GDPR). In close cooperation with our hosting providers, we endeavour to protect the databases as well as possible against unauthorised access, misuse, loss or falsification. We would like to point out that despite all the measures we have taken, data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps and therefore complete protection of data against access by third parties is not guaranteed in every case.

INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT

It may happen that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds, reCAPTCHA to protect against spam in contact forms or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always assumes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) are aware of the user’s IP address. This is because without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users of this. If you do not wish to disclose any data about yourself, please log out of your Google account or use a plugin such as Ghostery to block the exchange of data.
