Links to Other Websites


Our website contains links to the websites of other, unrelated providers. After clicking on such a link, we no longer have any influence on the processing of any data that is transferred to the third party (such as the IP address or the URL on which the link is located), since the behavior of third parties is beyond our control. Therefore, we cannot accept any responsibility for the processing of any such data by third parties.


Server Log Files


The page provider collects and stores information in so-called “server log files,” which your browser automatically transmits to us.
These data cannot be associated with specific individuals. A combination of this data with other data sources is not carried out. We reserve the right to retroactively check this data if we become aware of warranted indications of unlawful use.


SSL/TLS Encryption


This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive content—such as the requests you send to us as site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in the change of the browser’s address line from “http: //” to “https: //” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you have sent us cannot be read by third parties.
