DATA PROTECTION

Personal data
Acc. to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, personal data are all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). A natural person shall be considered identifiable if that person can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more specific characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Personal data is therefore all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, telephone number or IP address.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can immediately assign your visit to our website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Like" button or commenting, this information is also sent directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on your Facebook profile and displayed to your Facebook friends, for example. If you do not want Facebook to associate the information collected through our website directly with your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also object to the loading of Facebook plugins and thus any future data processing operations described above with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).

We process and store personal data only for the period of time necessary to achieve the storage purpose (e.g. orderly business transactions) or which corresponds to a statutory storage/retention period. If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a statutory storage/retention period expires, we will delete the personal data.
