The following privacy policy provides information about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as decisions are made alone or in collaboration with others on the purposes and means of processing. Furthermore, information is provided on third-party components used for optimization and to improve usage quality, in case third parties process data under their own responsibility.

Furthermore, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the data have been disclosed of any correction or deletion of data or restriction of processing pursuant to Articles 16, 17 para. 1, 18 GDPR, unless such notification is impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding this, users have a right to information about these recipients.

In particular, an objection to data processing for direct advertising purposes is permissible.
III. Information on data processing

Legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Data are deleted once the inquiry is fully answered and if no statutory storage obligations exist, e.g., subsequent contract processing.

If registration for the free newsletter is completed, provided data, such as email address, and optionally, name and address, are transmitted. Simultaneously, the IP address of the internet connection and date and time of registration are stored.

For technical reasons, especially to ensure a secure and stable website, data are transmitted by the internet browser to us or our webspace provider. These server log files include browser type and version, operating system, referring website (referrer URL), the website(s) visited, date and time of access, and the IP address.
Temporarily stored, not in combination with other data.
