Privacy Policy

Data protection

Our website can generally be used without having to provide personal information. If personal data such as your name, address or e-mail address is collected on our webpages, you provide this information voluntarily, unless specified otherwise. We will not share this data with third parties without your express consent.

​We expressly point out that there may be security vulnerabilities when transferring data online or electronically (such as when communicating by e-mail). As a result, such data cannot be protected completely against being accessed by third parties.

​Contact details published as part of providing the disclosure information may not be used by third parties to transmit advertising or other information that has not been expressly requested. The operators of the webpages expressly reserve the right to take legal action if unsolicited promotional information is sent (e.g. in the form of ‘spam’).

Right to information; correction, blocking, deletion of data

You have the right to be informed (free of charge) at any time of the data being held about you, its origin and recipient and the purpose for which it is used, as well as the right to such data being corrected, blocked or deleted. If you have any questions about personal data, you can contact us at the address stated in the Legal Disclosure.

Cookies

Some of the webpages use what are known as cookies. Cookies do not damage your device or contain viruses. They merely serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally on your device and web browser.

Most of the cookies that we use are ‘session cookies’, which are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies will remain on your device until you delete them. These ‘persistent cookies’ enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies, so that you can decide in each instance whether to accept them, allow exceptions, or reject them in general. Rejecting cookies can restrict the functionality of our website.
