We would like to inform you by way of this privacy policy as to which of your personal data we collect, process and use.
Personal Data
Personal data is individual information about your personal or factual circumstances. This includes all information about your identity, such as your name, email address or postal address. In contrast, information that cannot be linked to your identity (such as the number of users of the online service) does not count as personal information.
In principal, you can use our online service without disclosing your identity and without providing personal data. For some of the services offered, however, personal data is collected from you. In principal, we only collect, store and use the data for the purpose of using this online service, in particular for providing the desired information.
Storing and processing personal information
Your information is stored on specially protected servers. These are protected using technical and organisational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorised persons. Your data can only be accessed by a few authorised persons. They are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers. Despite regular checks, complete protection against all dangers is not possible.
The transmission of our web pages and your entries on our web pages via the internet is in principal unencrypted. It is therefore not excluded that third parties can view and/or access the transmitted data. We recommend that you consider this aspect when deciding whether and which data you submit to us over the Internet.
Your personal data is encrypted and transmitted over the Internet. We use SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) for data transmission.
Transfer of personal data to third parties
In principle, we use your personal information only for the fulfilment of your desired services. Should we use the services of external service providers within the framework of performing our service, any accessing of the data on their part is likewise solely for the purpose of performing the service. We take technical and organisational measures to ensure compliance at all times with data protection requirements and also obligate our external service providers accordingly.
Moreover we do not pass the data on to third parties without your express consent, especially regarding advertising purposes. Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if you yourself have consented thereto or to the extent that we are entitled or obligated to do so in accordance with statutory requirements and/or official or court orders. Such instances can in particular include the provision of information for purposes of law enforcement, emergency response or for the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
