  2. Definitions

    1. Personal data – Data protection concerns the protection of personal data. Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, i.e. that can be traced back to a specific individual. This includes, for example, a person’s name, email address or telephone number, or websites visited by an identifiable individual.

    2. Cookies – Cookies are small files that enable specific, device-related information to be stored on the user’s device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve to enhance the user-friendliness of websites and thus benefit users (e.g. by storing login details). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on website usage and to analyse this data with a view to improving the service. Users can control the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, please note that the use of the website, and in particular the user experience, will be restricted without cookies.
      Users can manage many online advertising cookies from companies via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU websitehttp://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

  1. General information on data processing
    1. The provider collects, processes and uses users’ personal data only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that users’ data is used only where there is legal authorisation or where consent has been given.
    2. Under no circumstances will the provider disclose users’ personal data to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes, or for any other unauthorised purposes. Users’ data will only be passed on to third parties if this is permitted by law or if a user has consented to the transfer. This is the case, for example, if the transfer of data serves to fulfil contractual obligations towards the user or if the data is requested by competent authorities such as law enforcement agencies.
    3. The provider implements organisational, contractual and technical security measures to ensure compliance with data protection legislation and to protect the data managed by the provider against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.
    4. Nevertheless, every user should be aware that, in particular, it is not possible to exercise absolute control over access to publicly visible data.

  2. Collection, use and deletion of personal data
    1. It is generally possible to use the provider’s website without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without the user’s express consent.
    2. Users’ personal data is used for the following purposes:
      The provision of the provider’s services.
      To ensure effective customer service and/or technical support. When contacting the provider, users’ data is stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
      To send newsletters or other promotional material, provided that users have given the provider their consent to do so.
    3. Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as it is no longer required and there are no contractual or statutory retention obligations preventing its deletion.
    4. Users are advised that entries made in the search box within this website may be recorded for statistical purposes. These serve solely to evaluate users’ interest in the content offered.
    5. Where information material, contact details or similar are requested by post or email, the data provided by users will be used and processed solely for the purpose of sending the information material or responding to the enquiry.

  3. Collection of access data
    1. The provider collects data on every access to the server on which this website is hosted (so-called server log files). Access data includes the name of the webpage accessed, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, a notification of successful access, the browser type and version, the user’s operating system, the referrer URL (the previously visited page), the IP address and the requesting provider.
    2. The provider uses the log data without linking it to the user’s identity or otherwise creating a profile, in accordance with legal provisions, solely for statistical analysis for the purposes of operating, securing and optimising the website. However, the provider reserves the right to review the log data retrospectively if there are concrete grounds for a reasonable suspicion of unlawful use.

  4. Integration of third-party services and content

    1. It may occur that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, is integrated into this service.

    2. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) obtain the user’s IP address. Without the IP address, they would be unable to send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content.

    3. The provider endeavours to use only such content where the respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. However, the provider has no influence over whether third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Where the provider is aware of this, it informs users of this in the following sections.

      You can adjust your individual settings via the link „Cookie Consent“ link at the bottom of each page.

  1. Sending information via newsletter

    1. Electronic messages containing promotional information about the provider and its services are only sent with the user’s express consent. Users may opt out of receiving the newsletter at any time. An option to opt out is included in every email.

    2. Before the newsletter is sent, the email recipient will receive a confirmation email in which they must confirm their subscription to the newsletter. Unconfirmed subscriptions are automatically deleted.

    3. Messages sent in response to enquiries or contact initiated by users, or within the context of a contractual relationship with the provider’s customers, do not constitute promotional information.

    4. Users may withdraw their consent to the storage of their data and email address, as well as to their use for sending the newsletter, at any time.

    5. The newsletter, to which users can subscribe, is sent via the external newsletter provider “cleverreach.de”, to whom the data you enter is forwarded.

    6. As part of the registration process, the provider stores the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the user’s IP address. The provider is legally obliged to log registrations in order to be able to verify that they have been carried out correctly.

      If you wish to withdraw your consent, please use this link to unsubscribe or amend your consent.

  2. Withdrawal, changes, corrections and updates
    1. Users have the right, upon request and free of charge, to obtain information about the personal data stored about them by the provider. The contact details can be found in the first section of this privacy policy.
    2. In addition, users have the right to have incorrect data rectified, to withdraw their consent, and to have their personal data restricted or erased, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

  3. Changes to the privacy policy
    1. The provider reserves the right to amend the privacy policy to adapt it to changes in the legal situation, or in the event of changes to the service or data processing.
    2. Users are therefore asked to check the content regularly. Should the changes require the user’s consent, the provider will expressly request this from the user.
