Data Protection -Privacy Policy

As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most comprehensive possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security flaws, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

For example, information on the operating system, the browser, your IP address, the website you previously called up (referrer URL) and the date and time of your visit to our website are recorded. Cookies can be used to determine which websites are preferentially accessed. This allows us to better tailor the content of our pages to our web visitors and to optimize our offers. In addition, this information serves to automatically recognize you on your next visit to our website and to facilitate navigation for you. Cookies allow us, for example, to adapt a website to your interests or to store your password so that repeated entry is not necessary.

You can revoke your consent at any time to the storage of data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter. The revocation can take place via notification to the listed contact possibilities.

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels (web bugs), which enable us to recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened and which links in the e-mail were followed by the personalized recipient.

These data are stored by us, so that we can optimally adjust our newsletters to the wishes and interests of our subscribers. Accordingly, the data collected is used to send personalized newsletters to the respective recipient.
