We attach the utmost importance to protecting your privacy as a user of our website and comply with the data protection legislation applicable to us when processing personal data. As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible.
However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.
For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by post.

No further data is collected. This data is only used to send the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties. The data collected in this way is not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address and the date of registration. This storage serves solely as proof in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorized person.

The revocation can be made by sending a message to the contact options listed.

4.5. Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”.

For example, information about the operating system, the browser, your IP address, the website you previously visited (referrer URL) and the date and time of your visit to our website are recorded. The information generated by this text file about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. If this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google, Google will also pass this information on to these third parties. This use is anonymized or pseudonymized. You can find more information about this directly from Google. You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google’s privacy policy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245

We use the function “Activation of IP anonymization” on this website.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
4.6. Google Tag Manager
We use “Google Tag Manager” on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Tag Manager enables us as marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Google Tag Manager tool, which implements the tags, is a cookie-free domain and does not itself collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
4.7. Google Adwords
Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. Google conversion tracking is a service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that you as a user have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and have been redirected to our site. The information collected with the help of cookies is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These statistics tell us the total number of users who have clicked on our ad and also which pages of our website were subsequently accessed by the respective user. However, we or other advertisers via “Google Adwords” do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly, for example by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or to specifically block only cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”.

4.8. Google Maps
We use the “Google Maps” component of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”, on our website. Each time the “Google Maps” component is called up, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when the page on which the “Google Maps” component is integrated is displayed. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed, but expires after a certain period of time, unless you delete it manually beforehand. If you do not agree with this processing of your data, you have the option of deactivating the “Google Maps” service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use “Google Maps” or only to a limited extent. The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained via “Google Maps” is subject to the Google Terms of Use http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms and conditions for “Google Maps “ www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
