Personal data are collected only when you communicate them to us on your own initiative for the performance of a contract, for the opening of a customer account, or in the context of making contact with us.

§ 3 Cookies

This website uses “cookies”, which serve to make our Internet presence as a whole more user friendly, effective and secure – for example, in terms of expediting the navigation of our website. Moreover, cookies enable us to measure the frequency of webpage views and general navigation. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. Please note that some of these cookies are downloaded from our server to your computer system. Most of these are so-called “session” cookies. Session cookies are automatically deleted from your hard drive after the end of the browsing session. Other cookies (so-called “permanent” cookies) remain in your computer system and enable us to recognise your computer system again at your next visit. Of course, you can refuse cookies at any time, if this is permitted by your browser. Please note that it is possible that certain functions of this website cannot be used or can be used only to a limited extent if your browser is set so that no cookies (from our website) are accepted.

§ 4 Web Analysis Service

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (known as “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files that are stored on your computer and that permit an analysis of the use of the website by you. As a rule, the information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
However, in the event of activation of IP anonymising on this website, your IP address is first truncated by Google in the Member States of the European Union or in other countries which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports concerning website activities and to perform additional services for the website operator related to website and Internet use.
The IP address transmitted from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies via a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we would like to point out to you that in this case possibly you will not be able to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you can prevent the capture by Google of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Please note that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. IP addresses are therefore processed in truncated form only, in order to rule out a direct link to a specific individual.

§ 5 Information on the Rights of Customers and Contacts

You have a right to information free of charge concerning your stored data and, if necessary, a right to the correction, blocking or deletion of these data. If you have additional questions about the collection, processing or utilisation of your personal data, please contact us. The same applies to information, blocking, deletion and correction requests regarding your personal data, as well as to the withdrawal of granted consent. The contact address can be found in the imprint section of our website.
