Collection of general information
With each access to this offer, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also referred to as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.
The following information is collected, among other things: name of the website, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our offer), and the IP address.
Without this data, it would be technically impossible in some cases to deliver and display the content of the website. Therefore, the collection of data is necessary. In addition, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They help us optimize the offer and the technology. We also reserve the right to subsequently check the log files if there is a suspicion of illegal use of our offer.

Contact form
If you contact us via the online form or by email, we will store the information you provide in order to answer your inquiry and ask any follow-up questions. The information provided by interested parties can be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or a comparable inquiry organization. We delete the inquiries if they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity every 12 months. In addition, the statutory archiving obligations apply.
Integration of third-party services and content
Our offer includes content, services, and performances of other providers. These are, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube, as well as graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be called up and displayed in the user's browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") therefore perceive the IP address of the respective user.
Even though we make every effort to only use third-party providers who only need the IP address to deliver the content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. This process serves, among other things, statistical purposes in this case. If we become aware that the IP address is being stored, we will inform our users accordingly.

Youtube videos
We have occasionally embedded YouTube videos on our website, which are stored on the servers of the provider YouTube and can be played back on our website via embedding. The videos are embedded with the option for enhanced privacy settings activated. When you play these videos, YouTube cookies and DoubleClick cookies are stored on your computer and data may be transmitted to Google Inc., Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, as the operator of YouTube.

This data is transmitted regardless of whether you have a Google user account that you are logged into or whether you do not have a user account. If you are logged in in this way, this data may be directly assigned to your account by Google. If you do not wish for this assignment to your profile, you must log out before activating the play button for the video. YouTube or Google Inc. stores this data as user profiles and may use it for advertising, market research, and/or customizing their websites. Such evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customized advertising and to inform other users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact Google, the operator of YouTube, to exercise this right.

Facebook thereby receives your IP address, the time of your visit, and the information that you have visited our Facebook page. If you click on the Like button (for example, in posts) while you are logged into Facebook, you can link the content of our Facebook page to your Facebook profile. As the provider of the page, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to Facebook or its use by Facebook. Further information on the privacy policy of Facebook can be found here: https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") for conversion tracking.
This allows us to track the behavior of website visitors after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and can optimize future advertising campaigns.
The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website, and we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Policy. This allows Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.
You can find further information on Facebook's privacy policy here: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the advertising settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

Privacy Policy for the use and use of Instagram
The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that can be classified as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos and to distribute such data in other social networks.
The operating company of the Instagram services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific subpage the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted with it are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before calling up our website.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram can be found at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
