Access data
On the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO), the website operator or page provider collects data on access to the website and stores it as "server log files" on the server of the website. The following data is logged in this way:
- Visited website

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of misuse. If data have to be deleted for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.
Range measurement & cookies
This website uses cookies for pseudonymised range measurement, which are transmitted either by our server or the server of third parties to the browser of the user. Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website. If you do not want cookies to be stored on your terminal device for range measurement, you can object to the use of these files here:

- Cookie deactivation page of the US website: http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/
- Cookie deactivation page of the European website: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/
Common browsers offer the option not to accept cookies. Note: There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.
Collection and processing of personal data
The website operator collects, uses and passes on your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data. Personal data includes all information which serves to determine your person and which can be traced back to you - for example your name, e-mail address and telephone number.
You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online services, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. The anonymisation of the data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about you personally.
Dealing with contact data
If you contact us as a website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
Dealing with comments and contributions
If you leave a contribution or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and serves the security of us as website operators: Because if your comment violates applicable law, we can be prosecuted for it, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the comment or contribution author.
Google Analytics
​
On the basis of our legitimate interests, this website uses the following data to optimise and analyse our online offering in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO uses the service "Google Analytics", which is provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The service (Google Analytics) uses "cookies" - text files which are stored on your terminal device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google LLC complies with European privacy laws and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
On this website IP anonymization is used. The IP address of the users is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states of the agreement. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted unabbreviated to a Google server in the USA and then shortened there. By this shortening the personal reference of your IP address is omitted. The IP address of the user transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
Under the terms of the order data agreement, which we have concluded with Google Inc. as the website operator, Google Inc. uses the information collected to compile an analysis of website usage and website activity and to provide services relating to internet usage.
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online services by individual users, for example to create reports on website activity to improve our online services.
You have the option of preventing cookies from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. It is not guaranteed that you can access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
You can also use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link leads you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Alternatively, by clicking on this link (IMPORTANT: Insert opt-out link), you prevent Google Analytics from collecting information about you within this website.

When you visit one of our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and, if applicable, not only the Google servers in Ireland, but also those in the USA in order to integrate the fonts. In addition to the date and time of your visit, the URL of the website you visited is also transferred to Google and your IP address is processed there. The data is processed there on the basis of international agreements and an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 DS-GVO. The provider is certified in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield and is therefore obliged to comply with EU data protection standards. Furthermore, the agreements with partners in third countries contain suitable guarantees within the meaning of Art. 46 DSGVO.
Our legitimate interest in the use of Google Fonts within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO is the output of our texts compatible on all devices and the fast integration in the construction of the website.

Use of plugins from YouTube
The website uses plugins from YouTube to integrate and display video content. The provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When a page with an integrated YouTube plug-in is opened, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This will tell YouTube which of our pages you have accessed. YouTube can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Details on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's data protection declaration at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
Use of social media plug-ins from Facebook
Data processing when visiting our Facebook page
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook , operated by Facebook Inc.,1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, responsible for data processing within the EU: Facebook Ireland Ltd., Hanover Reach, 5-7 Hanover Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland, processes at least the following data from you: (1) Your IP address, which, according to Facebook, if you come from the EU will be anonymized and deleted after 90 days (2) from which device you visit the site.
If you are logged into Facebook during your visit to our Facebook Page, Facebook will associate that visit and your use of our Page (like, share, comment, message, etc.) with your profile. Because our posts are public, your interactions with our site are also public. This information can be used to tailor content or advertising to you. If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the function "stay logged in", delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. This allows you to use our Facebook page without this being directly assigned to your Facebook account.
Even if you are not logged in but have a Facebook account, Facebook processes the data collected when you visit our site and your activities on our Facebook page to create a so-called shadow profile, which is assigned to your Facebook account the next time you log in from the same device or browser. This happens on all Facebook pages and also when surfing on other pages that have a Facebook plug-in integrated (like button etc.). If you want to prevent this, you should also delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. For all common browsers, extensions are also offered to prevent tracking, especially Facebook tracking.
Facebook also uses the data collected when you visit our Facebook page (insights data) to provide us with statistical information about the activities on our page. This includes, for example, the number of page views, the reach, whether and how often the page or post was "like", shared, recommended, commented on or hidden or reported as spam, whether route planners or phone numbers were used, as well as the gender, age, location and language of our fans. Our legitimate interest in the use of Insights data within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f) DSGVO is to make our contributions more interesting for you as a user and to better tailor them to you. Further information can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data
We are responsible for the use of the data collected on our Facebook page together with Facebook within the meaning of Art 26 DSGVO. For this reason, we have concluded a corresponding page controller addendum with Facebook, which you can view here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
Facebook uses the data for its own purposes and also passes them on to third parties. We do not know in what form and to what extent or for how long Facebook stores the data; Facebook provides general information about this at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and on the setting options for advertisements. The complete data guidelines as well as a contact option for asserting your rights against Facebook can be found here https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy
Due to our legitimate interest in the analysis, optimization and operation of our online services (within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO), this website uses the Facebook Social Plugin, which is provided by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA). The embeddings are recognizable by the Facebook logo or by the terms "like", "like", "share" in the colors Facebooks (blue and white).
