The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

Together with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect our databases against unauthorized access, loss, misuse or falsification.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating by e-mail) may have security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to fully protect data against access by third parties.

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The query serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing.

As part of this query, the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service are transmitted to Google. Your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the service.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller of this website is outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the data processing is carried out by Google LLC. "Google" refers to both Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC.

This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, conducted via a user ID.

The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Please note that Google Analytics has been extended on this website by the code "_anonymizeIp();" to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, thus excluding any direct personal reference.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Ads provided by Google. Google Ads uses cookies to display relevant ads, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times.

Google records which ads are shown in which browser using a unique cookie ID and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. In addition, Google Ads can use cookie IDs to track so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This happens, for example, if a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase using the same browser.

According to Google, these cookies do not contain personal information. Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us.

If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered or logged in to Google, it is possible that Google may obtain and store your IP address.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:

by adjusting your browser settings accordingly, particularly by suppressing third-party cookies;
by deactivating conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://adssettings.google.com;
by deactivating interest-based ads from providers participating in the "About Ads" self-regulatory campaign via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices;
by permanently deactivating them in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

The legal basis for processing your data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information about Google Ads and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ or https://ads.google.com/home/.
