We wish to point out that online data transmission (for example when communicating by email) may present security loopholes. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, US.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information of your use of this website that is generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there.
IP Anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, Google will first shorten your IP address within European Union Member States and in other countries that are signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the US. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on the website activities and provide other services connected with the website use and internet use to the website operator. The IP address sent by your browser within Google Analytics is not collated with other data by Google.

SSL Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content, such as enquiries you send us as the site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. You can detect an encrypted connection when the browser address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL encryption is activated, the information that you send us cannot be read by third parties.

We expressly object to the use of the contact data published within the framework of the obligation to provide publication details to send advertising and information material that has not been explicitly requested. The operators of the site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited mailing of advertising information, for example in the form of spam emails.
