We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for by the various storage periods stipulated by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.<\/p>\n<h2>Collection of general information when visiting our website<\/h2>\n<p>When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and the like. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.<\/p>\n<p>This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the website content you have requested and is mandatory when using the internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring the smooth use of our website,<\/li>\n<li>Evaluation of system security and stability, and<\/li>\n<li>for further administrative purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest resulting from the aforementioned purposes for data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, processors.<\/p>\n<p>Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.<\/p>\n<h2>Cookies<\/h2>\n<p>Like many other websites, we also use so-called &#8220;cookies.&#8221; Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system, and your connection to the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate navigation for you and enable the correct display of our web pages.<\/p>\n<p>Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how you can change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.<\/p>\n<h2>SSL Encryption<\/h2>\n<p>To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.<\/p>\n<h2>Comment Function<\/h2>\n<p>When users leave comments on our website, the time of their creation and the username previously chosen by the website visitor are stored in addition to this information. This serves our security, as we can be held liable for illegal content on our website, even if it was created by users.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Form<\/h2>\n<p>If you contact us regarding questions of any kind by email or contact form, you give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of contacting you. A valid email address is required for this. This serves to assign the inquiry and the subsequent answering of the same. The provision of further data is optional. The information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. After completion of the inquiry you have made, personal data will be automatically deleted.<\/p>\n<h2>Use of Script Libraries (Google Webfonts)<\/h2>\n<p>In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing manner across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Webfonts (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/webfonts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/webfonts\/<\/a>). Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser&#8217;s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.<\/p>\n<p>Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible\u2014though currently unclear whether and for what purposes\u2014that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.<\/p>\n<p>The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Use of Google Maps<\/h2>\n<p>This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information.
