Data Protection
The operators of these web pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection directives as well as this Data Protection Declaration.
As a rule, the use of our website is possible without disclosing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on our webpages, insofar as this is possible, this shall always be done upon a voluntary basis. These data shall not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
We wish to point out that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g. during communication via e-mail) may contain security gaps. It is not possible to ensure the gapless protection of the data from third-party accesses.

IP Anonymisation
We use the function "Activation of IP Anonymisation" on this website.

Only in exceptional cases shall the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. By mandate of the operator of this website, Google shall use this information in order to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports regarding website activities and in order to render additional services associated with the use of the website and of the Internet for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the parameters of Google Analytics shall not be commingled with other data by Google.
SSL Encryption
This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential contents such as, for example, inquiries which you submit to us as the operator of the website. You can recognise an encrypted connection owing to the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and owing to the lock symbol in your browser line.
When the SSL encryption has been activated, the data which you transmit to us cannot also be read by third parties.
Right to Information, Deletion, Blocking
You shall have the right at any time to obtain free-of-charge information about your saved personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing as well as a right to correct, block or delete these data.
