In compliance with data protection regulations, we process your personal data only if you have given your consent or if it is permitted by law. This also applies to the processing of personal data for advertising and marketing purposes.

On this website, we can also collect information that does not allow us to draw any direct conclusions about you. In certain cases – especially in combination with other data – this information can nonetheless be considered "personal data" within the meaning of the GDPR.

In addition, on this website we may also collect such information that does not enable us to identify you, either directly or indirectly; this is e.g. aggregated information about all users of this website. We do not disclose your personal data to third parties, unless you have expressly consented or the disclosure is otherwise permitted by law. We do not use automated individual decisionmaking, including profiling (Art. 22 GDPR).

3A. PERSONAL DATA

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). A natural person is considered to be identifiable, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, number, location data or by specfic factors.

Every information that cannot be linked to your true identity is not considered personal information; this includes, for example, the number of users of our website or comparable aggregated information.

You are welcome to visit our website at any time, without needing to provide us with your personal data. When you have access to our website, we record temporary information about type and duration of the respective use as standard, such as

This data will be deleted after the end of each session or used in anonymized form for statistics and will not be transferred to third parties.
Beyond this, personal data such as your name, your address, telephone number or e-mail address is not collected unless you deliberately provide these data to us in connection with a contact request (see below).
