Privacy Policy
As a user of our website, this privacy policy provides you with all necessary information regarding how, to what extent, and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect and use your data. Your data is collected and used in strict accordance with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We place great importance on the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore act strictly within the legal framework. Where possible, the collection of this personal data is voluntary. Furthermore, we only disclose this data to third parties with your express consent. We ensure a high level of security for particularly sensitive data—such as payment information or your inquiries to us—by using SSL encryption. However, we would also like to point out the general risks associated with using the Internet, over which we have no control. In particular, data sent via email is not secure without additional precautions and may be intercepted by third parties.

Information, Deletion, Blocking
You have the right at any time to request, free of charge, information about the personal data we hold about you, as well as about the source, recipients, and purposes of the data collection and processing. In addition, you have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your data. Exceptions apply to data that must be retained due to legal requirements or that is necessary for proper business operations. To ensure that data can be restricted at any time, it is stored in a restriction file for auditing purposes. If no legal retention obligation applies, we will delete your data upon your request. If a retention obligation does apply, we will block your data. For questions or comments regarding the correction, blocking, or deletion of personal data, please contact our Data Protection Officer using the contact information provided in this privacy policy or the address listed in the legal notice.

Cookies
We use cookies on our website. These small text files are stored on your computer by our server. They support the display of our website and help you navigate through it. Cookies collect data about your IP address, browser, operating system, and internet connection. We do not link this information to personal data and do not share it with third parties. Under no circumstances do we use cookies to install malicious software or spyware on your computer. You can also use our website without cookies, although this may limit the functionality or display of certain features. If you wish to disable cookies, you can do so through your browser settings; please consult your browser’s help function to make the necessary changes. You can manage cookies for online advertising via the following links: http://www.aboutads.info/choices (for the U.S.) and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices (for Europe).

Provision of Paid Services
If you wish to use the paid services on our website, we may ask you for additional information for billing and security purposes. This typically includes your name, a valid email address, and—depending on the situation—your mailing address, phone number, and other relevant information. We may also need information to verify the details you provide, such as proof that you are the owner of the email address you provided. For legal reasons, we must be able to confirm that you actually wish to use the services offered and that we can bill you correctly. To ensure the security of your data during payments, we use the SSL encryption standard, which can be recognized by the prefix “https://” in your browser’s address bar.

Google AdWords
The content on our website may also include third-party materials, services, and features that complement our own offerings. Examples include Google Maps, YouTube videos, or third-party images. The use of these third-party services generally requires the transmission of your IP address. As a result, these providers can view and store your IP address. We make every effort to work exclusively with providers who use IP addresses solely for the purpose of delivering the relevant content. However, we have no control over whether or not these third parties store the IP address. Such storage may, for example, be used for statistical analysis. Should we learn that data is being stored by third parties, we will notify our users immediately. In this regard, please also consult the specific privacy policies of the individual third parties and service providers whose services we use on our website; these policies are also included in this privacy statement.

Server Logfiles
Server log files contain anonymized data that is collected when you visit our website. Although this information does not identify you personally, it is technically necessary for delivering and displaying our content. In addition, the data is used for statistical purposes and to continuously optimize our content. The typical data included in log files includes the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the browser used (including version), the operating system, your service provider’s domain name, the referring page (referrer URL), and your IP address. Log files also enable a thorough investigation in the event of suspected unauthorized use of our website.

Facebook Plugin
On our website, we use plug-ins from the social network Facebook, provided by Facebook Inc. (located at 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA). You can recognize these Facebook plug-ins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. Please also refer to the overview of Facebook plug-ins at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. When you visit our website, the plug-in establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server, linking your browser to it. This informs Facebook that you have visited our website (based on your IP address). By clicking the Facebook “Like” button, content from our website is linked to your Facebook profile, allowing Facebook to associate your visit to our site with your user account. We have no knowledge of the specific data sent to Facebook or how Facebook uses it. For more information about the collection and use of data, please see Facebook’s privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php. You can prevent your visit to our site from being linked to your Facebook profile by logging out of your Facebook account beforehand.

Use of Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense advertisements on our website. Google AdSense is a remarketing feature provided by Google Inc. that allows us to display tailored, interest-based advertisements to our site visitors. This process involves the use of cookies. These text files, which are stored on your computer, generate information that enables you to be recognized as a visitor—for instance, through the identification of your IP address. 'Web beacons' are also used; these are invisible graphic images designed to analyze visitor traffic on a website. Google transmits the aforementioned information to its servers in the US. In this context, Google states that it does not store personal data and does not combine IP addresses with other Google services. However, this does not prevent Google Inc. from passing this information on to third parties. You have the option to disable this remarketing feature. You can adjust the necessary settings at the following website: http://www.google.com/settings/ads. You can also prevent the storage of cookies via the page http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Additionally, you can achieve the same result by adjusting your browser settings; instructions for doing so can be found in your browser's help function. Please note that the display and functionality of our website may be limited if cookies are disabled. By using our website, you consent to Google collecting and processing the aforementioned data for remarketing purposes in the manner described above.

Google AdWords
We use Google AdWords, an online advertising program from Google Inc., on our website. This also involves the use of conversion tracking. With this tool, Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer when you visit our website via a Google ad. The cookie expires after 30 days. It is not used for personal tracking. If you visit our website and the cookie is still active, we and Google can determine that you clicked on the corresponding ad and were redirected to our site. Each Google AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers in this way. The data collected through conversion cookies is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers. As customers, we thus learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then redirected to a webpage tagged with a conversion tracking tag. During this process, we do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify you as a user. If you wish to opt out of this tracking process, you can disable the Google conversion tracking cookie through your web browser. If necessary, use your browser’s help function for further information. For more details on Google’s privacy policy, visit http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Google Maps Plugin
We use Google AdWords, an online advertising program from Google Inc., on our website. This program uses conversion tracking. With this tool, Google AdWords places a cookie on your computer when you arrive at our website via a Google ad. This cookie expires after 30 days and is not used for personal identification. If you visit our website while the cookie is still active, both we and Google can see that you clicked on the relevant ad and were redirected to our site. Each Google AdWords customer is assigned a unique cookie; this prevents cookies from being tracked across the websites of different AdWords customers. Data collected via conversion cookies is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers. As a customer, we learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were subsequently redirected to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. During this process, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify you as a user. If you wish to opt out of this tracking process, you can disable the Google conversion tracking cookie through your web browser settings. Please consult your browser’s help function for more information. For more details about Google’s privacy policy, visit http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Google+ Plugin
We use Google+ features on our website. This social network is provided by Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. You can use the Google+ button to share content worldwide. In addition, you will see personalized content from Google and its partner providers. Google stores your “+1” rating for content and information from websites where you have clicked the +1 button. Your +1 rating may be displayed alongside your profile name and photo in other Google services. Google records your +1 activity; this data collection serves to optimize and personalize Google’s services for you. To use the Google+ platform, you create a profile that is visible worldwide under a name of your choice. This chosen name is also used in other Google services. Anyone who knows your email address can view your Google+ profile. Google uses the collected data in accordance with its privacy policy—including for the purpose of compiling statistics—which are shared with partner companies in aggregated form or used in other ways. For more information about data usage and the privacy policy, visit http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. You can also find information on how to adjust your privacy settings on Google+ via this link.

Instagram Plugin
We also integrate features from the Instagram online service into our website. The provider of these features is Instagram Inc., located at 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. When you visit our pages, you can use the Instagram button to link to your Instagram account, provided you are logged in to Instagram. In this way, Instagram receives information about your visit to our website and can link this visit to your Instagram profile. We have no knowledge of the content of the information transmitted or how it is used by Instagram. For more information about Instagram’s collection and use of data, please see Instagram’s privacy policy at http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

Websiteanalyse (statistieken van de maker)
When you visit our website, we collect information about your usage via a web analytics tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and 'user agent', truncates them, and stores the resulting data using a hash function. This process generates a visitor identifier encrypted with a randomly generated value ('salt') that changes every 24 hours. This method ensures that your IP address cannot be traced back from the stored visitor identifier, thereby safeguarding your anonymity. Furthermore, we do not combine this information with other data, and the data is stored exclusively on the hosting provider's server.
In addition, we process web analytics data, HTTP data, and profile data for web analytics purposes. The web analytics tool we use creates and stores a web analytics profile; this profile contains details regarding your use of the website, such as page views, visit frequency, time spent on each page, and your device's 'user agent'. This includes usage data (such as web pages visited and access times) and communication data (such as browser type, operating system, and IP addresses).
We process this data to analyze user behavior in aggregated form, with the aim of improving our website's layout and content. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)—specifically, conducting web analytics to improve our products and our website.
The collected data is shared with our website's hosting provider and processed within the EU.
