However, the use of certain services on our website may be subject to different rules, which, in such cases, are explained separately below. We process your personal data (e.g., name, address, email, phone number, etc.) only in accordance with the provisions of German data protection law. Data is considered personal if it can be uniquely assigned to a specific natural person. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). The provisions below inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection, use, and processing of personal data by the provider.

Please note that Internet-based data transmission involves security risks, and therefore it is impossible to provide complete protection against unauthorized access by third parties.
Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website to recognize repeated use of our services by the same user or Internet connection owner. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your computer. They are used to optimize our website and our services. These are mostly so-called “session cookies,” which are deleted once your visit ends.
In some cases, however, these cookies transmit information that allows us to automatically recognize you. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and make it easier for you to access our site.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of our website to their full extent.
Server Data
For technical reasons, the following data—among other things—that your web browser transmits to us or to our web hosting provider is collected (so-called server log files):
– Browser type and version
– Operating system used
– Website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL)
– Website you are visiting
– Date and time of your visit
– Your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal information you may have provided and therefore cannot be used to identify a specific individual. It is analyzed for statistical purposes to help us optimize our website and our offerings.
Contact Information
On our website, we offer you the option to contact us via email and/or through a contact form. In this case, the information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of processing their inquiry. This information is not shared with third parties. The data collected in this manner is also not cross-referenced with data that may be collected by other components of our website.
Comment Section
On our website, we offer you the opportunity to leave comments on individual posts. In doing so, the IP address of the author/account holder is stored. This information is stored for our protection in the event that the author’s comment infringes on the rights of third parties and/or contains unlawful content. We therefore have a legitimate interest in the author’s stored data, especially since we may be held liable for such legal violations under certain circumstances. The data is not disclosed to third parties. The data collected in this manner is also not cross-referenced with data that may be collected by other components of our website.
Use of Google Analytics with the anonymization feature
We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter referred to as “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 these cookies—such as the time, location, and frequency of your website visits, including your IP address—is transmitted to Google in the United States and stored there.
We use Google Analytics on our website with an IP anonymization feature. In this case, your IP address is truncated by Google while still within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, thereby anonymizing it.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our site, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.
According to Google, it will under no circumstances associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all features of our website to their full extent.
Furthermore, Google offers an opt-out option for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over what data Google collects and processes. If you enable this option, no information regarding your visit to the website will be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, enabling this option does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. For more information about the opt-out option provided by Google and how to enable it, please visit the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Information/Withdrawal/Deletion
Under the Federal Data Protection Act, you may contact us free of charge with any questions regarding the collection, processing, or use of your personal data, as well as the correction, blocking, or deletion of such data, or the revocation of any consent you have provided. Please note that you have the right to have incorrect data corrected or personal data deleted, provided that no statutory retention requirement precludes this right.
