Personal data is generally only collected, used and passed on by us if this is permitted by law or the users consent to the data collection.

To protect your personal data, they are transmitted in encrypted form. For example, we have been using "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) for communication via your internet browser since May 25th, 2018 - recognizable by the lock symbol that your browser displays such an SSL connection.

In order to permanently guarantee the high level of protection of your personal data, we regularly check the technical security measures and adapt them, where necessary, to the respective state of the art.

These principles also apply to companies that process and use personal data on our behalf (so-called "data processors") and in accordance with our requirements.

Use includes the "Universal Analytics" operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze the activities of a user across devices.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", ie text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Since the function "IP Anonymization" has been activated, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transmitted to a Google server in the USA in exceptional cases.

Campaigns can be limited to a maximum of two years.
