General and necessary information
Data protection:
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal information is any data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purposes this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission via the internet (for example, when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing: Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke the consent you have given at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by email is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: In the event of violations of data protection laws, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company is located. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details can be found here.
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the data we process automatically, based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption: For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection because the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and a lock symbol appears in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion: You have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block, or delete this data at any time. For this purpose, as well as for other questions related to personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.
Opposition to promotional emails: The use of contact information published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the sending of unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam emails.

Cookies: Our website uses cookies in some areas. Cookies do not harm your computer or contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, more effective, and secure.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you request (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies are stored (for example, cookies to analyze your browsing behavior), they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Analysis and advertising tools: This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies." These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymization: We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking: This website uses Google AdWords, an online advertising program provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). As part of Google AdWords, we use conversion tracking. When you click on a Google ad, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the internet browser on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked on AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers receive the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google's privacy policy: Google Privacy Policy .
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set, allow cookies only in specific cases, reject cookies generally, and automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of this website.
Facebook Pixel: Our website may use the Facebook visitor action pixel for conversion measurement, provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). This allows us to track the behavior of website visitors after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns. The data collected is anonymous to us as website operators; we cannot draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, which enables connection to the respective user profile. Facebook may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's privacy policy. As website operators, we have no influence on the use of this data. You can find further information about protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy: Facebook Privacy Policy.
