We may correct, complete or remove incomplete or inaccurate data at any time and at our sole discretion.

We and our partners use cookies to provide the corresponding services. This also applies when you visit our website or access our services.

A "cookie" is a small data packet that is assigned to your device when you visit a website from this website. Cookies are useful and can be used for various purposes. These include, for example, easier navigation between different pages, automatic activation of certain functions, saving your settings and optimised access to our services. The use of cookies also enables us to show you relevant adverts tailored to your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services.

This website uses the following types of cookies:

a. "Session cookies", which ensure normal system utilisation. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. 

b. "Persistent cookies", which are only read by the website and are not deleted when the browser window is closed, but are stored on your computer for a certain period of time. This type of cookie enables us to identify you on your next visit and, for example, to save your settings. 

c. "Third-party cookies", which are set by other online services that are represented with their own content on the page you are visiting. These may be, for example, external web analytics companies that record and analyse access to our website.

Cookies do not contain any personal data that identifies you, but the personal data we store may be linked by us to the data contained in the cookies. You can remove cookies via the device settings of your device. Please follow the relevant instructions. Please note that deactivating cookies may restrict certain functions when using our website.

The tool we use is based on the technology of Snowplow Analytics . The data we collect on the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website or which areas are accessed. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is used by our web hosting provider and service provider exclusively to improve its own offering.

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts ( https://fonts.google.com/) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache so that they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the content will be displayed in a standard font.

• When script or font libraries are called up, a connection to the operator of the library is automatically established. It is theoretically possible for this operator to collect data. It is currently not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the corresponding libraries actually collect data.
  
  
• Here you will find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

This policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information that we collect from you. If you publish data on other websites or disclose it to third parties on the Internet, other provisions may apply. Therefore, always read the general terms and conditions and data protection provisions carefully when you disclose data.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to anyone other than our employees and associates, including third parties to whom we disclose this information as described in this Privacy Policy. 

We implement the security measures on the website with great care and protect your data. We use industry-standard procedures and guidelines to ensure the protection of the data collected and stored and prevent the unauthorised use of such data. We also require third parties to adhere to similar security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who gain unauthorised access to or misuse our website, and we make no warranty, express or implied, that we can prevent such access.

Please note that some recipients may not be based in the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries authorised by the European Commission with an adequate level of data protection or ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement.

We may use your personal data such as your name, email address, telephone number etc. ourselves or pass it on to an external subcontractor in order to provide you with promotional material relating to our services that may be of interest to you.
We respect your right to privacy. Therefore, you will always be given the opportunity to unsubscribe from further mailings in these marketing materials. If you unsubscribe, your email address or phone number will be removed from our marketing mailing lists.

We may disclose data in the event of a corporate transaction (e.g. sale of significant parts of the company, merger, consolidation or sale of assets). If any of the above occurs, the acquirer or the relevant company will assume the rights and obligations set out in this Privacy Policy.
