Every time a user accesses our website and every time a file is accessed, data is transmitted from your browser to us. This is necessary for our website to be displayed to you. Access data about this process is stored in a log file on servers of our IT service providers. The provider collects the stored data for security reasons, examples include;

  • accessing IP address
  • browser type (version)
  • operating system
  • date / time of the request

Furthermore, your data will be evaluated anonymously for statistical purposes, a transfer to third parties, neither for commercial nor for non-commercial purposes, does not take place here.

You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out in the time period before the revocation being received remains unaffected by the revocation.

The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or delete the purpose for data storage (for example, after your request has been processed).
