Privacy Policy

This data privacy statement provides information on how and why our website collects and processes your personal data, including details on the type and amount of data collected. We also provide tips for partially or entirely deactivating cookies.

Last Update: 8. October 2022

We use personal data to operate this website and to offer and advertise our services. Different types of data are collected and processed, depending on how you use our online services.

One type of data concerns information that you actively provide, for example, via a contact form or e-mail.

Other data are automatically collected as soon as you visit our website. In this case, the data mainly concern technical data such as your IP address or the web browser you use.

In addition, we evaluate how visitors navigate our website. These data are collected for statistical analysis and are never used to observe or identify individuals. The information gathered helps us to optimise our web presence and to improve your online experience.

We have adopted technical and strategic measures to protect your data from being misused when you visit our website and use its related functions and services. The security measures include the encryption of data transmitted from your browser to the server (https) as well as a secure e-mail connection (SSL/TLS). We recommend that you also activate SSL/TLS in your personal e-mail application.

Please note that security risks associated with transmitting data in the internet can never be completely eliminated.

Data you send, for example, via a contact form, are used solely for the stated purpose and never passed on to third parties without your consent.

When you send us this data, you give us your consent to retain and process your data until you either retract your consent or until the data are no longer relevant to the original purpose, provided that no legal obligation to retain information rules out deleting the data.

We collect data (log files) about every visit to the server that hosts our website. These log files contain: the URL of the webpage visited; the file; the date and time of the visit; the status code of the request; the amount of data transmitted; browser type and version; your operating system; the referrer URL (previously visited page); your IP address; your requesting provider.

The log files ensure better functionality and security, and they allow us to optimise the website. Such data are periodically deleted. As a rule, the protocol data are used for statistical analysis only. If there are grounds to suspect illegal use of the data (e.g. hacking), we reserve the right to review the protocols in detail. If it is necessary to retain data as evidence, these data are exempted from the periodical deletions until the incident has been resolved.

Like most websites, we also use “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. So-called session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Other cookies are stored for a pre-defined time or are stored permanently, allowing a website to recognise your browser when you next visit the site.

We use cookies to enable certain functions and to ensure that your visit to our site runs smoothly. We also use cookies to understand how visitors use our website. Detailed information about the use of cookies is available in the relevant sections below, including information on how you can block cookies.

Information on how to control the use of cookies for marketing purposes, in particular with regard to tracking, is available on the following websites: the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com.

You can block or delete cookies at any time by adjusting your browser settings. This can, however, block certain functions of our website.
