Data protection
We attach great importance to the protection of your data. In order to fully inform you about the use of personal data, we ask you to take note of the following data protection information.
Personal data
Personal data that you transmit electronically on this website, such as name, e-mail address, address or other personal details, will only be used by us for the purpose stated in each case, stored securely and not passed on to third parties. The provider automatically collects and stores information on the web server such as the browser used, operating system, referrer page, IP address, time of access, etc. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person without checking other data sources and we do not evaluate this data further as long as there is no illegal use of our website.
Form data and comments
When website visitors leave comments or form entries, the data entered and their IP addresses are stored. This is done for security reasons in case someone posts illegal content (insults, left-wing or right-wing extremist propaganda, hate postings, etc.). In this case, we are interested in the identity of the author.
Data transfer to third countries
According to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, data may be transferred to third countries with the explicit consent of the website visitor. Possible risks associated with the transfer of data to third countries such as the USA are therefore explained in more detail below. Our website uses various services from third-party providers based in the USA, such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube, which sometimes also process personal data. However, the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to have an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for monitoring and surveillance purposes. Furthermore, EU citizens have no suitable legal protection options in this regard. For this reason, we will inform you about the risks arising in this context when you first visit our website and ask for your express consent to the transfer of data to third countries. You can find your settings in this regard in the footer of the website under "Cookie settings". There you can revoke your consent to the transfer of data to third countries at any time and also adjust your cookie settings for this website.
