Please bear in mind that data transmission over the Internet can generally be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be realised. 

Collection of personal data 

  • Personal data is all information that relates to a natural person or at least can be related to them and thus allows conclusions to be drawn about their personality
    • .

  • What is special personal data: Information about ethnic and cultural origin, religious, philosophical and political beliefs, information about health, sexuality and trade union membership. This data is particularly worthy of protection.
  • Affected persons above all have the right to "informational self-determination". The storage or processing of personal data is only permitted with the consent of the person concerned.

Access data, purpose, aim of data storage

The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as "server log files". This information is also collected using statistics software (Google Analytics). The following data is logged in this way:

In order to be able to carry out a serious statistical analysis, the data must be stored for up to 10 years. Depending on the predefined intervals, the data (log files) are also deleted by the hoster after just one week.

Handling personal data

The website operator only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.
