Data Controller
The “data controller” is the entity that collects, processes, or uses personal data (e.g., names, email addresses). The data controller for the processing of data on this website can be found in the website’s Legal Notice (Impressum).
SSL / TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information—such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator—this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change from “http://” to “https://” in your browser’s address bar and by the lock symbol.
When SSL/TLS encryption is active, data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.

- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing device
- Time of server request
- IP address
These data are not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing. You also have the right to request correction, blocking, or deletion of this data.
