We have written this privacy policy (version 06/11/2024-312810239) to explain to you, according to the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (hereinafter referred to as data) we process, will process in the future, and what legal rights you have. The terms used are gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about the data we process about you.
Privacy policies typically sound very technical and use legal jargon. This privacy policy, on the other hand, aims to describe the most important aspects as simply and transparently as possible. Where it promotes transparency, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly way, links to further information are provided, and graphics are used. We inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data within the scope of our business activities when there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible with brief, unclear, and legal-technical explanations, which are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and perhaps there is some information you did not know before.
If questions remain, we ask you to contact the responsible office mentioned below or in the imprint, follow the available links, and look for further information on third-party sites. You will also find our contact details in the imprint.
