If you contact us by e-mail, the data you provide will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

- the address (URL) of the visited website
- browser and browser version
- the operating system used
- the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)

Our website uses "cookies". These are small text files thatare stored on your terminal device with the help of the browser. They do notcause any damage. 

We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remainstored on your end device until you delete them. They enable us to recognizeyour browser on your next visit. 

If you do not wish this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. 

If you want to know more about cookies, we recommend: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265, the Request for Comments from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called "HTTP State ManagementMechanism".

We use https to transmit data in a tap-proof manner on the Internet (Data Protection by Design Article 25(1) DSGVO). By using TLS (Transport LayerSecurity), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser and the use of the scheme https (instead of http) as part of ourInternet address.

On our website we use the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics (GA) of the American company Google Inc. For the European area the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, when you click on a link, this action is stored in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. Using the reports we receive from Google Analytics, we can better tailor our website and service to your preferences.

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

We have concluded an order data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the item "Objection to data collection".

We use the advertising component Google AdWords. This is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google". 

If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use stores a cookie on your terminal device. These so-called conversion cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to identify you personally. 

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and that you have subsequently been redirected to our website. 

When collecting data, we rely on your consent in accordance with Art. 6Para. 1 lit. a EU-DS-GVO for the corresponding data processing, which you can of course revoke at any time. 

Through the information obtained in this way, Google provides us with statistics about the visit to our website. In addition, we receive information about the number of users who have clicked on our ad(s) and about the pages of our website subsequently accessed. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords are able to identify you in this way. 

You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies using the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. At the same time, you can delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on your specific Internet browser used. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of yourInternet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. 

Furthermore, Google also offers the following services at

- http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
for further information on this topic and in particular on the options for preventing data use.

You are generally entitled to the rights of information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in some way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the data protection authority.
