In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow website settings to be saved (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.
If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR either for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR where consent has been given, or in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective website experience.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and can decide individually whether to accept them, or you can exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general.
Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be restricted.
When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and for the associated technical administration.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been conclusively processed.

Google Tag Manager
This website uses “Google Tag Manager”, a service provided by: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: “Google”).
Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and for calibrating, controlling and linking them to conditions via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store information on users' devices or read information from them. Nor does the service perform any independent data analyses. However, when a page is accessed, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may be stored. Transmission to servers of Google LLC in the USA is also possible.
This processing will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to our website. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

Google Maps
This website uses an online map service provided by: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to visually present geographical information. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and it may make it easier for you to find us.
When you access subpages into which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there. This may also involve transmission to servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.
The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and therefore the map display on this website can then no longer be used.
Where legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data described above in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please follow the option for objecting described above.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
Cookie Consent Tool
This website uses a so-called “Cookie Consent Tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “Cookie Consent Tool” is displayed to users when they access the website in the form of an interactive user interface through which consent can be given for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications by selecting the relevant options. When using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are loaded only if the respective user grants the corresponding consent. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies in order to store your cookie preferences. As a general rule, no personal user data is processed in this context.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or recording cookie settings, this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and therefore in the legally compliant design of our website.
A further legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider which ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the settings available for the Cookie Consent Tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
9.1 Applicable data protection law grants you the following rights as a data subject vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data (rights of access and intervention), whereby reference is made to the stated legal basis for the respective requirements for exercising these rights:
9.2 RIGHT TO OBJECT
IF, AS PART OF A BALANCING OF INTERESTS, WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON THE BASIS OF OUR OVERRIDING LEGITIMATE INTEREST, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING WITH EFFECT FOR THE FUTURE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, FURTHER PROCESSING REMAINS RESERVED IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED BY US FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU MAY EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing and, where applicable, additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).
Where personal data is processed on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you withdraw your consent.
If statutory retention periods exist for data processed within the scope of contractual or similar obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in its continued storage.
Where personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information contained in this privacy policy regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
