This information is only evaluated for statistical purposes and is used to improve our offers. As an individual user, you remain anonymous.

Collection and use of personal data
The protection of your personal data is important to us. Your personal data will only be collected and used by us within the framework of the relevant data protection regulations.

We will not share your information with third parties. If you have any questions about the protection of your data, please contact us.

Security
We use technical and organizational measures to secure our website and other systems against destruction, loss, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. However, complete protection against all dangers is not possible despite regular controls. We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Cookies
In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable you to use certain functions, we use so-called cookies. “Cookies” are small text files that are stored on your computer. Session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. If permanent cookies are set, they enable your computer to be recognized the next time you visit the website, e.g. by entering your username. You can of course reject cookies at any time, provided your browser allows this.

Newsletter
You have the right to revoke your consent at any time by written notification or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter, without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operator and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with other data.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software 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. By using this website, you consent to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the purpose stated above. The collection and storage of data can be objected to at any time with future effect. You can find our contact address for the objection below or in our legal notice. Alternatively, you can use the deactivation add-on from Google Analytics (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) if it is available for your browser.

It should be noted that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp ()” and therefore IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form in order to exclude direct personal reference.

Use of Google Maps
We use Google Maps on this website. This enables us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function.

When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data as a usage profile and uses it for advertising, market research and / or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: Google’s data protection declaration (https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy). Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework).
