The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Legal Basis for Processing
Where we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. For the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract or to process your inquiry, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis (e.g. when handling appointment requests and contact forms). Where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of ours or of a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override that interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis (e.g. when using analytics and marketing services such as Google Analytics).
Cookies
Our website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Server Log Files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Newsletter Data
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. This data is used exclusively for sending the requested information and is not passed on to third parties.
You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.
Retention Period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. statutory retention obligations under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these grounds no longer apply. Data from the contact form is deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed, unless further statutory retention obligations apply.
