If data is passed on to external service providers, we have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the regulations of data protection are observed.

Some elements of our website require that the browser accessing the site can be identified even after a page change. The so-called session key is stored in the cookies, which is deleted again after the browser has been closed.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by using the appropriate setting in the Internet browser you are using and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers.

Storage, processing and security of personal data

We collect personal data from people who have contacted us (for example, by e-mail and/or telephone or in conversations at events) or whose contact details are publicly available. This data is stored in order to fulfill legal obligations, to be able to process your requests or to enable us to maintain contact with interested parties, persons of public interest, stakeholders and specialists.
The processing of your personal data, for example your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number, is always carried out in accordance with the Basic Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act.
We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. Your personal data will not be made available to third parties in any form by us or persons commissioned by us, unless we have your consent or an official order to do so. The companies and persons we support with the processing of order data are carefully selected and are contractually bound by us to data protection in accordance with the DSGVO (German Data Protection Act).


Information, deletion, blocking

We delete data that were required exclusively for the fulfillment of a contractual purpose after the expiry of the respective applicable statutory retention period.
You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing as well as a right to correct, block or delete this data. If we have informed you on request that we have stored data about you, you can request us to delete this data without giving reasons. If there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary, we will delete your data completely within a maximum of four weeks. You can contact us at any time at the address below for this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data.


Data transmission upon contract conclusion

We transmit personal data to third parties only if this is necessary due to legal regulations or in the context of the contract execution; for example to the companies entrusted with a delivery or the credit institute commissioned with the payment processing. A further transmission of the data is not carried out or only if you have expressly agreed to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.


Embedded contents from third parties

In some parts of the website we use embedded content from third parties (YouTube; Sched).
Since the content is stored on the server of the respective provider, data may be transmitted to the respective provider from the moment you access the content on our website. This can be prevented by using add-ons such as Disconnect, which you can install in your browser.
We have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures and are not responsible for this data processing and in this respect we are also not responsible in terms of the DSGVO and the BDSG. We are also not aware of the full extent of the data collection, its legal basis, the purposes and the storage periods. Further information on the purpose and scope of data use can be found in the data protection declarations of the providers. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings to protect your privacy.

The further development of the internet and our internet services may also have an impact on the handling of personal data.
