It goes without saying that we comply with the applicable legal provisions on the protection of personal data. According to the Data Protection Act, personal data is information that can be used to find out the identity of web users. This includes information such as name, address, postal address, telephone number, etc. Any information that cannot be directly linked to the actual identity of the user is therefore not included. If necessary and if you use a personalised, interactive or mail service on our website, we collect personal information from you. We use this personal data only within our company. This data is not passed on to third parties unless this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or we are legally obliged to do so. Our internet pages use so-called cookies in several places. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognise your browser and offer you personalised services.

Our website contains programmes (plug-ins) of the social network Facebook. These are operated exclusively by Facebook Inc. The plug-ins are recognisable on our website by the Facebook logo or the addition “Like”. When you visit a website of our internet presence that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers, whereby the content of the plug-in is transmitted to your browser and integrated by it into the displayed website. As a result, the information that you have visited our website is forwarded to Facebook. If you are logged in to Facebook via your personal user account while visiting our website, Facebook can assign the website visit to this account. By interacting with plug-ins, e.g. by clicking the “Like” button or leaving a comment, this corresponding information is transmitted directly to Facebook and stored there. If you wish to prevent such data transmission, you must log out of your Facebook account before visiting our website. For the purpose and scope of data collection by Facebook and the further processing and use of your data there, as well as your rights and settings in this regard to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy (http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php).
