We expressly point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) is subject to security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties.

The use of the contact information in our legal notice for commercial advertising is expressly prohibited unless we have previously given our written consent or a business relationship already exists. The provider and all persons named on this website hereby object to any commercial use or disclosure of their data.


Personal data

You can visit our website without providing any personal data. If personal data (such as name, address or email address) is collected on our pages, this is done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. If a contractual relationship is to be established, designed or changed between you and us, or if you submit an inquiry to us, we collect and use personal data from you insofar as this is necessary for these purposes (inventory data). We collect, process and use personal data insofar as this is necessary to enable you to use the website (usage data). All personal data is only stored for as long as it is required for the stated purpose (processing your inquiry or executing a contract). Tax and commercial law retention periods are taken into account in this process. At the request of the responsible authorities, we may provide information about this data (master data) in individual cases, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger, to fulfill the statutory duties of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution or the Military Counterintelligence Service or to enforce intellectual property rights.


Comment functions

As part of the comment function, we collect personal data (e.g., name, email address) when you comment on a post only to the extent that you have provided it to us. When you publish a comment, the email address you provide will be saved but not published. Your name will be published unless you have written under a pseudonym.


Contact form

The personal data you provide to us as part of this contact request will be used solely to respond to your inquiry or contact and for the associated technical administration. It will not be shared with third parties.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with future effect. In this case, your personal data will be deleted immediately.

Your personal data will be deleted even without your revocation once I have processed your request or you revoke the consent you gave here to storage. This also happens if storage is not permitted for other legal reasons.

You can find out about the data stored about you at any time.

Detailed information on data protection and the handling of personal data can be found in the general privacy policy of this website.
