Browser cookies: We do not use cookies on our websites. We have not integrated content from third party providers, in which cookies may be used.

Log files: Retrievals of our websites and files are automatically logged by our hosting provider. The logging serves technical and statistical purposes.
IP addresses are stored for a period of 7 days and sub­sequently made anonymous.
Non-personal data are logged: Domain and name of the retrieved file, time, status and data volume of the retrieval, and the browser type.

Forms: Further personal data is only collected if you consciously enter this information manually, e.g. in a web form. SSL encryption is used for the transmission of your form data. For usage see point 2.

E-mails: Please note that emails are generally transmitted unencrypted over the internet. Therefore, it is not possible to protect the transmitted information from access by third parties. For this reason, we kindly ask you not to send sensitive or personal data via email. Please use secure communication channels to transmit confidential information. Emails you send to us will be stored by our email provider and by us. Business correspondence is legally required to be retained for several years; in our case, it is 6 years.
