Privacy Policy

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.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) are collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

SSL Encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as the site operator.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator.
