The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data.

This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected in part by you providing it to us. This may be data that you enter into a contact form, for example.

Other data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website. These are mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
