Privacy policy
In the following Privacy Policy, we inform you about the data we collect during your visit to our website, how this data is used and your rights in relation to this data.

When you visit our website, your browser transmits technical data that is automatically logged by our web server (server log). Specifically, this logged data consists of:
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL

We use the server log to ensure the proper operation of the web server (debugging, investigating misuse, defending against attack attempts).
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer via your browser. We use cookies to make it easier for you to use our website and configure it to suit your requirements.
You have the option to set up your browser to ensure that no cookies are stored at all and/or cookies can be deleted from your browser at any time. However, this may restrict the functionality or user-friendliness of our website.
Use of external links
Our website may include links to (unaffiliated) third-party websites that use cookies. We may also offer links to social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn, YouTube). Once you click on these links, we no longer have any influence over the collection, storage or processing of any data directly transferred by clicking the third-party links, as the conduct of third parties is naturally beyond our control. We accept no responsibility for the processing of such data by third parties.
Please consult the privacy policy of the relevant third party for information concerning the purpose and scope of data collection, the processing and use of data as well as configuration options to protect your privacy:

Additional data processing
We offer you the opportunity to voluntarily submit data to us via email or the contact form so that we can contact you directly or send you further information, for example.
Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information that you send to us as a website operator. This means that the data you transmit via our website cannot be viewed by third parties. Encrypted connections can be recognised by the "https://” or the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be intercepted by third parties. We request that you only provide us with data that we require in order to render our services.
This website uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure that fonts are displayed in a standardised manner. When you access a website, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into your browser cache to ensure that you can view text and fonts correctly.
To do this, the browser you use must establish a connection with Google’s servers. When this happens, Google is informed that our website is being accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of presenting our online products and services in a standardised and visually attractive way. This represents a legitimate interest as set out in Article 6 (1) Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Further information on Google Web Fonts is available at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Is your data transmitted to third parties?
In certain cases, we may be legally required to submit data to a government agency or court should they request it. Otherwise, we do not transmit any data to third parties unless you have expressly agreed to this.
Why do we collect and process personal data?
In particular, we collect and process your personal data for one or more of the following purposes:
• Provision of information
• Provision, administration and implementation of client communications
What are your rights?
You have the right to request information about the data we have stored about you, e.g. its origins, the recipients the data is passed on to, and the purpose of its storage. You can also request the rectification, erasure or blocking of your data. If you have given us consent to use your data, you can revoke this consent at any time. This results in the erasure of your data, provided that there are no legal reasons preventing this. In this case, we block your data to ensure that it can only be used for the necessary legal purposes.
You can contact us in writing if you have any questions about the processing of your data.
