You can send us a request using the email addresses provided or our contact forms.

This service is only for people over the age of 18.
4. Collection of personal data when visiting our website
When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. without registering or providing any other information, we collect only the personal data that your browser transmits to our servers. If you would like to view our website, we will collect the following data, which are technically required to display our website to you and guarantee stability and security (legal basis is § 6 (1) S. 1 lit. b GDPR in conjunction with § 32. (1) GDPR and § 13 (7) Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz – TMG)):
- IP address

These data with full, possibly personal IP addresses, saved by us for reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, will be anonymized/erased at the latest after 7 days.
5. Convenience functions
To ensure our website is displayed optimally (e.g. adjustment to different monitor screen sizes, drop-down menu, input control for contact form) we use languages such as JavaScript and CSS (cascading style sheets). You can use corresponding settings on your browser to deactivate the use of these languages. However this may render parts of our website unusable.
6. Social Media
At various points of our website we provide links to social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, marked with the logos of the social media providers for easy identification. Using our website does not send any personal data to the providers of these social media platforms. Only when you click on one of the links will you be taken to the respective social media website, at which point personal data will be transmitted to the provider. As a result, you leave our website and we have no influence over the data collected or the way they are processed, nor are we aware of the scope and purpose of data collection and the duration of their storage.
Clicking on one of these links informs the social media provider that you accessed the corresponding page of our website. In addition the data listed in the section “Collection of personal data when visiting our website” of this privacy statement will be transmitted. This will happen regardless of whether you have an account with this social media provider and are logged in. If you are logged in to the social media provider, these data are allocated directly to your account.
Social media providers store personal data as user profiles and use them for advertising, market research and/or the tailored design of their website. In particular, the data are analyzed (even for users who are not logged in) to display tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right you will need to contact the social media providers.
For more information on the scope and purpose of data collected and how they are processed by the social media provider, please find the privacy statements of these providers below. They also contain further information on your rights and the options available to you to protect your privacy.

CDNs enable common JavaScript libraries and font types to be loaded more quickly as the files used are transferred from quick, local or underutilized servers. Among other things, the IP address of the user is transmitted to the CDN service provider.

This website uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files saved on your computer which enable analysis of how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Where IP anonymization has been activated on this website, Google will however shorten your IP address in a European Union member state or another signatory state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address provided by your browser when using Google Analytics will not be merged with other data provided by Google.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent.

You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent future collection of your information when you visit this site: Deactivate Google Analytics
Please note that deactivating all cookies also removes opt-out cookies.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” which shortens IP addresses before processing to ensure they are not personally identifiable. In the event that data collected about you become personally identifiable, the personal reference is immediately excluded and the personal data thus deleted.
We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics we obtain help us improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. (The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 6 (1) S. 1 lit. f GDPR).
