What is personal data?

§ 3 para. 1 Federal Data Protection Act defines personal data as individual details über personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your name, postal address, e-mail address and telephone number as well as the IP address with which your computer can be identified. You do not have to provide any personal data in order to use this website.

When you access our website and do not otherwise submit information, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This data is necessary for you to view and navigate this website.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected.

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services and services may not be available or may be limited. For this reason, an objection is excluded.
