Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, there are no statutory retention periods that prevent the deletion of the data and no other information is given below about individual processing procedures.
SERVER DATA
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider via your internet browser. These so-called server log files collect, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of each access, and the IP address of the Internet connection from which you accessed our website.

This storage is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidential purposes. Otherwise, the data is fully or partially exempt from deletion until an incident has been finally clarified.​
COOKIE POLICY
a) Session cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you to an individual extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b.) GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the purpose of initiating or executing a contract.
If the processing is not for the purpose of initiating or executing a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close your internet browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysis or the functionality of our website.
Please refer to the information below for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.
c) Removal option
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Flash Player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website are fully usable.

As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send the newsletter, describe the content in concrete terms and refer you to this data protection declaration.

We have regulated the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, from which the mutual obligations arise, can be accessed at the following link:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
The legal basis for the resulting and subsequently reproduced processing of personal data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in the analysis, communication, sale and promotion of our products and services.
The legal basis can also be the user's consent to the platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The user can revoke their consent to this at any time in the future by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.
When you access our online presence on the Facebook platform, Facebook Ireland Ltd., as the operator of the platform in the EU, processes the user's data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.).
This user data is used to provide statistical information about the use of our company presence on Facebook. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes and to create user profiles. Using these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. is able, for example, to advertise to users within and outside of Facebook based on their interests. If the user is logged into their Facebook account at the time of the access, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can also link the data to the respective user account.
If the user contacts us via Facebook, the user's personal data entered on this occasion will be used to process the request. We delete the user's data if the user's request has been answered conclusively and there are no statutory retention periods, such as in the case of subsequent contract processing.
Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also set cookies to process the data.
If the user does not agree to this processing, it is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser accordingly. Cookies that have already been saved can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the respective browser. In the case of flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings, but by setting the Flash player accordingly. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all Facebook functions are fully usable.

Liability for content
As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages in accordance with Section 7 Paragraph 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). However, according to Sections 8 to 10 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), as a service provider we are not obligated to monitor submitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.
Obligations to remove or block the use of information in accordance with general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the time of knowledge about a specific violation of law. If we become aware of such violations of law, we will remove this content immediately.
Liability for links
Our offer contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot accept any liability for this third-party content. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking.
However, permanent monitoring of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a legal violation. If we become aware of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately.
Copyright
The content and works on these pages created by the site operators are subject to German copyright law. Duplication, processing, distribution and any type of exploitation outside the limits of copyright law require the written consent of the respective author or creator. Downloads and copies of this page are only permitted for private, non-commercial use.
If the content on this page was not created by the operator, the copyrights of third parties are observed. In particular, third-party content is marked as such. If you nevertheless become aware of a copyright violation, we ask you to notify us accordingly. If we become aware of any legal violations, we will remove such content immediately.
Warning? Please contact us first!
If you notice anything on our website that you consider to be anti-competitive or a violation of the data protection regulations or any other infringement of third-party rights, we ask that you contact us immediately to avoid legal disputes and costs. We want to avoid unnecessary legal disputes and costs and are always ready to talk. A warning with a lawyer's bill without us being contacted beforehand contradicts the obligation to mitigate damages and will be rejected by us.
