We would like to point out that Internet-based data transmission is subject to security vulnerabilities, making complete protection against access by third parties impossible.

Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website to recognize multiple use of our offer by the same user/internet connection owner. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. They are used to optimize our website and our offers. These are mostly so-called “session cookies”, which are deleted again at the end of your visit.
However, some of these cookies provide information to recognize you automatically. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our offers and to make it easier for you to access our website.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

Server data

For technical reasons, the following data, which your Internet browser transmits to us or to our web space provider, is recorded (so-called server log files):

– Browser type and version
– Operating system used
– Website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL)
– Website you are visiting
– Date and time of your access
– Your Internet Protocol (IP) address.

This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data you may have provided and therefore does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific person. They are evaluated for statistical purposes in order to optimize our website and our offers.

Contact possibility

On our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us by e-mail and/or via a contact form. In this case, the information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of processing the contact. It will not be passed on to third parties. The data collected in this way is also not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

Use of Google Maps

We use the “Google Maps” component of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”, on our website.

Each time the “Google Maps” component is called up, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when the page on which the “Google Maps” component is integrated is displayed. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed, but expires after a certain period of time, unless you delete it manually beforehand.

If you do not agree with this processing of your data, you have the option of deactivating the “Google Maps” service and thus preventing the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use “Google Maps” or only to a limited extent.

The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained via “Google Maps” is subject to the Google Terms of Use

http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html

and the additional terms and conditions for “Google Maps”

https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Use of reCAPTCHA

To protect input forms on our website, we use the “reCAPTCHA” service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”. By using this service, it is possible to distinguish whether the corresponding input is of human origin or whether it is misused by automated machine processing.

To our knowledge, the referrer URL, the IP address, the behavior of website visitors, information about the operating system, browser and length of stay, cookies, display instructions and scripts, the user’s input behavior and mouse movements in the “reCAPTCHA” checkbox area are transmitted to “Google”.

Among other things, Google uses the information obtained in this way to digitize books and other printed materials and to optimize services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g. house number and street name recognition).

The IP address transmitted as part of “reCAPTCHA” will not be merged with other Google data unless you are logged into your Google account at the time you use the “reCAPTCHA” plug-in. If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behavior on our website by “Google”, you must log out of “Google” before you visit our site or use the reCAPTCHA plug-in.

The use of the “reCAPTCHA” service is carried out in accordance with the Google Terms of Use:
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Use of the Xing recommendation components

We use components of the XING.com network on our website. These components are a service of XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.
Each time you access our website, which is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from XING.

To the best of our knowledge, XING does not store any personal user data when our website is accessed. XING also does not store any IP addresses. In addition, no evaluation of user behavior takes place via the use of cookies in connection with the “XING Share button”. Further information on this can be found in the data protection information for the XING share button at: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection

Use of the LinkedIn recommendation components

We use components of the LinkedIn network on our website. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time you access our website, which is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component.

This process informs LinkedIn which specific page of our website is currently being visited. If you click on the LinkedIn “Recommend button” while you are logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link the content of our pages to your LinkedIn profile. This enables LinkedIn to associate your visit to our pages with your LinkedIn user account.

We have no influence over the data that LinkedIn collects in this way, nor over the scope of this data collected by LinkedIn. We also have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to LinkedIn. Details on data collection by LinkedIn and your rights and settings options can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. You can find this information at http://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

In accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act, you can contact us free of charge if you have any questions regarding the collection, processing or use of your personal data and the correction, blocking, deletion or revocation of your consent. We would like to point out that you have the right to have incorrect data corrected or personal data deleted if this claim does not conflict with any legal obligation to retain data.

If you activate this option, no information about your website visit will be transmitted to Google Analytics.
