As far as possible, personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) are always collected on our webpages on a voluntary basis. These data will not be forwarded to third parties without your explicit consent. We draw your attention to the fact that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. e-mail communication) may involve loopholes in security. It is not possible to protect such data completely from third-party access.

Personal data

Personal data is information about your identity. This includes, for example, information such as your name, address, telephone number, email address.

In certain cases, however, we need your name and address, as well as other details so that we can provide the desired services. The same applies, for example, to answering individual questions. We point this out accordingly wherever it is necessary. Furthermore, we only store and process data that you voluntarily provide to us and, where applicable, data that we automatically collect when you visit our website. If you make use of services, we usually only collect data that we need to provide the services. If we ask you for further information, this is voluntary information. Personal data is processed solely in order to fulfil the requested service and to protect our own legitimate business interests.
