The provision of this website requires the processing of personal data, such as your IP address. This processing is necessary for the retrieval of the content displayed on this website (including its functions) and due to IT security measures.
You also have the option of contacting us via our contact form. For this purpose, we collect the personal data that you enter in the contact form.
(1) Legal basis
The processing of your personal data to provide this website and to communicate via this website is based on our overriding legitimate interest.

(2) Balancing of interests
Within the framework of the necessary balancing of interests, we have in each case weighed up your interest in confidentiality against our interests in providing this website and contacting you. In each case, your interest in confidentiality takes a back seat. Otherwise, we would not be able to provide you with this website or respond to your contact request.
(3) Recipient categories
We use service providers to provide our website. We transmit personal data to these service providers for this purpose. These service providers are contractually obliged by us to exercise the same care in handling personal data as we do ourselves.
In the process, personal data may be transferred to third countries or international organisations. For your protection and the protection of your personal data, appropriate safeguards are provided for such data transfers in accordance with and in compliance with the legal requirements.

g. If you allow the use of cookies and analysis tools in your browser
We use cookies and analysis tools to provide our website.
So-called "cookies" are used on our websites. Cookies are data records that are stored by a web server on the end device (e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet) of the user.
These are sent back either to our website ("first party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third party cookie") when our website is called up again with the same end device.
Through the stored and returned information (e.g. internet browser and operating system used; domain name of the website from which you came; average time spent on the site, pages viewed), the respective website recognises that you have already accessed and visited it with the browser of your end device. When you access our websites, information is automatically collected in anonymous form. This enables us to provide the user with a more effective and generally better use of our web pages over time by improving the content and making it easier to use.
The statistical data obtained helps us to improve the performance and attractiveness of our websites. We use this information so that we can provide you with services and information that are more specifically tailored to your needs. Any storage of personal data over and above the above-mentioned information will only take place with your express consent. Among other things, this is the case when you create a customer account, conclude a contract, contact us or participate in a competition. Your personal data will only be used to process your request.
Switching off the cookie function in your browser does not restrict the use of our websites and the services offered.
The legal basis for this is in each case our overriding legitimate interest. Within the framework of the necessary balancing of interests, we have in each case weighed up your interest in confidentiality and our interest in providing this website (including its functions). In each case, your interest in confidentiality takes a back seat.
