Collecting access data
Providing and displaying the content on our website technically requires us to collect specific data. With your access to our website, these so-called server log files are recorded by us or the provider of the web space. These log files do not allow us to deduce details about you. The corresponding information consists of the name of the website, the file, the current date, the volume of data, the web browser and its version, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet Provider, the Referrer-URL of the page from where you came to our website, and the corresponding IP address. We use this data for displaying and providing our content and for statistical purposes. The information thus obtained supports us in providing and continuously improving our website. We also have the right to subsequently review the aforementioned data if there is a suspicion of illegal use of our website.
Content and services of third party providers
Our website may also have content, services and resources of other providers who add to our website. Examples of such services are Maps by Google-Maps, YouTube Videos or graphics by third parties. Using these services of third parties regularly necessitates passing on your IP address. In this way, it is possible for these providers to know your user IP address and to save it. We make every effort to ensure that only those third party providers are involved who use the IP addresses only for providing content. However, we have no control over which third party provider saves the IP address. They could save it for example, for statistical purposes. If we receive information about the process of saving data by third party providers, we shall share it with our users immediately. In this context, please see the special privacy statements for individual third party providers and service providers, whose services we use on our website. This information is also given in this privacy statement.

In addition, in accordance with the corresponding legal guidelines, we must check if the given e-mail address actually belongs to you and if you want to receive the newsletter (Double-Opt-In process). Hence, we collect information that enables us to check this. The data collected in this context is useful for sending and receiving the newsletter. The purpose of collecting data here is different and this data is not passed on to third parties. Apart from the information required for sending the newsletter, no other data is collected from our side.
