This data privacy statement provides information about the personal data that is processed when you visit our website and about what rights you have. We would therefore request you to read the following explanations carefully.

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This, for example, includes your name, your address and communication data or your email address.

Processing means any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures using personal data, such as the collation, collection, organisation, ordering, storage, adaptation or alteration, reading out, querying, use, disclosure by transfer, dissemination or any other form of provision, reconciliation or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

The person concerned is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the person responsible for processing.

The person responsible or ‘person responsible for processing’ is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which either by itself or jointly with others decides the purposes for and means of processing personal data.

Users include all categories of persons affected by data processing. Such persons include our business partners and other visitors to our website.

We would also like to refer you to the definitions set out in Art. 4 of the Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO – General Data Protection Regulation) in regard to the terms used. The terms used, such as ‘user’, are to be understood as gender-neutral.

We implement technical, contractual and organisational measures to ensure the security of data processing in accordance with the state of the art. It is in this way that we ensure that the regulations set out in the data-protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation, are observed and that the data we process is protected against destruction, loss, modification and unauthorised access. These security measures also include the encrypted transfer of data between your browser and our servers. Please note that SSL encryption is only activated for transfers made over the Internet if the key symbol appears in the lower menu bar of your browser window and the address starts with http://https://. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) uses encryption technology to protect the transfer of data against illegal data access by third parties. You may also choose not to send certain data over the Internet if this option is not available.

All information that you transfer to us is stored and processed on our servers in the Federal Republic of Germany.
