The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. Since new technologies and the constant further development of this website can make changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals.

Definitions of the terms used (eg “personal data” or “processing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

As a user, you have the right to request free information about which personal data has been stored about you. You also have the right to correct incorrect data and to restrict the processing or deletion of your personal data. If applicable, you can also exercise your right to data portability. If you assume that your data has been processed unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority.

If your request does not conflict with a legal obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to have your data deleted. Data stored by us will be deleted if they are no longer required for their intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods. If deletion cannot be carried out because the data is required for permitted legal purposes, data processing is restricted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes.

Users of this website can exercise their right to object and object to the processing of their personal data at any time.

However, please note that these rights are not unlimited, but are subject to our own legitimate interests and official regulations.

If you would like to exercise any of the rights listed here or would like further information, please contact our data protection officer at:
