Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Please note that data transmission over the internet may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information on the controller

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw any consent already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged breach.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the change in the browser's address bar from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

Right to information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction, blocking or deletion. To exercise this right, please contact us at the address given in the legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if:

• you contest the accuracy of the data we have stored,
• the processing was unlawful and you request restriction instead of deletion,
• we no longer require the data, but you need it to assert legal claims,
• you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR.

This data is not merged with other data sources. The data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
