The personal information you share with us when, for instance, you contact us or send us an e-mail (such as your name and address or your e-mail address) is only used for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you provided this information.
We do not forward your data to third parties unless we are legally required to do so or if you have given us prior consent to do so. If and when we use service providers to carry out our business processes, the contractual relationships are governed by the provisions of the German Data Protection Act.

We log your visits to our websites. We primarily save the IP address that your PC is using, the date and time, the browser type and operating system of your PC, as well as the pages you view. We cannot connect these data to your person, nor do we intend to do so.

Use of cookies
Our website uses cookies. To use the website, your browser must be set to accept cookies.
These cookies are automatically deleted when you leave the website; we do not store them. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and in your browser. You can delete these cookies from your browser at any time. Cookies cannot harm your computer and do not contain viruses.
Piwik
Our website uses Piwik, a web analytics service. Piwik uses cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your computer and used by us to analyse how you use the website. Usage information generated by the cookie (including your abbreviated IP address) is sent to our server and saved for subsequent analysis to help us optimise the website. Your IP address is immediately anonymised so that you appear to us as an anonymous user. Information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is not forwarded to third parties. You can restrict the use of cookies by changing the relevant settings in your browser. However, doing so may prevent you from using all of the website functions to their full extent.
If you do not want us to save and analyse the data generated by your visit, you can click with your mouse to subsequently revoke your consent at any time. Doing so will save an opt-out cookie to your browser so that Piwik does not collect any session data from you. Note: If you delete your cookies, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted, so you may need to opt out again.
