We would like to inform our website visitors about the purpose, nature, and scope of the collection, processing, and use of personal data on our website. When you visit our website, data is collected, processed, and used, in which a personal reference cannot always be excluded. For example, in order that the pages be properly displayed in your browser, the IP address needs to be recorded, otherwise your browser cannot receive data from this website on your device (e.g. PC, laptop, smartphone). Typically, an IP address is being dynamically assigned by your Internet provider. Since these normally change regularly, we usually cannot make any references to individuals from the IP address anyway. For static IP addresses, however, it is theoretically possible in specific cases to reference individuals. In the log file of the web server, in addition to the IP address, additional information will be saved from the data retrieval. This data typically includes:
- Operating system of the calling computer
- Browser version of the calling computer
- Name of file(s)
- Date and time
- Amount of data transmitted
Referring URL
The stored data is only kept for statistical and troubleshooting purposes. In reference to individuals, we cannot produce person specific information from this data. Above all, we have no interest in the production of person specific information.

Web Analytics
On this website, the web analytics tools “Google Analytics” and “Google Analytics Universal” are used. The purpose of this operation is the “demand-oriented design” of this website. This “legal” term means that we analyze the usage patterns of visitors to this website to understand overall effectiveness of the website. For example, understand what keywords in search engines were used to find a specific page. Also, by the logging of retrieved pages, we can identify what information on our website is particularly interesting (based on frequency) and what we can possibly do to make other pages more compelling. These analytics also allows us to find errors in the website, for example, to find broken links to fix. Google Analytics and Universal Analytics use “cookies” (text files that are stored on your computer) and an analysis of your use of the website. There are so-called “Client IDs” for the application, which serve to create profiles which use pseudonyms, the use of the internet pages with desktop computers and mobile devices together by a user record.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. With the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address from Google will be truncated within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this site, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other website and internet related services to the website operator. This is undertaken as part of Google Analytics that your browser sends IP address that cannot be merged with other data of Google. You can refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software; however, we point out that you would not be able to use all the features of this website.
