We will never offer or sell your data to third parties. We do, however, need to point out that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g. e-mail) can involve security vulnerabilities. There can therefore be no guarantee for complete protection against third parties accessing data.
With the use of our website, you agree to the collection, processing, and use of the data in accordance with the following description.
Data transmission/Data logging
Our website can be visited without registration. The web server automatically creates log files that cannot be linked to any particular person. This data includes e.g. the browser and browser version, operating system used, referring URL (the previously visited site), IP address of the visiting computer, access date and time of the server request, and the data request of the client (data name and URL). Data connected to a person, including the name, address, or e-mail address can therefore only be acquired on a voluntary basis. The data is used only for the purpose of statistical analysis. This data is not passed on to third parties without your consent.
