The protection of personal data is a serious concern for us both professionally and as operators of this website. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Wherever personal data (such as name, address, or email address) is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent. Personal data are collected at the following points on our website:

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form including the contact data you provide there will be stored by us for processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data are collected. These data are used exclusively for sending the requested information and are not shared with third parties.
