Your data protection is our concern

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. It goes without saying that we comply with the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act, and we want you to know what data we collect, when we collect it and how we use it. We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure that the regulations on data protection are observed both by us and by external service providers.We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The same applies, for example, to the sending of information material and ordered goods or to answer individual questions. Where this is necessary, we will point this out to you accordingly. In addition, we only store and process data that you provide to us voluntarily or automatically.If you make use of services, we generally only collect the data that we need to provide the services.

We will not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties.

​
