We use TLS encryption for our website for security reasons, to protect to the best possible extent the data, contents or enquiries transmitted by you.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the prefix “https” in your browser’s address line and by the lock symbol in the browser line. Unencrypted pages can be identified by “http”. No data that you transmit to this website - e.g. via the contact form - can be read by third parties, if the TLS encryption is activated.

Session cookies are deleted once the current session has been terminated.

Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on our website, we require an email address from you, and also information which enables us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.

To ensure that you agree to us sending the newsletter, we use the "double-opt-in" process. As part of this process, the potential recipient allows himself/herself to be included in a distribution list. The user then receives a confirmation email enabling him/her to legally confirm the registration. The address is only actively included in the distribution list once this confirmation has been provided. We use these data exclusively for the purpose of sending the required information and offers.

We use the newsletter software sendinblue. Your data will be transmitted to Sendinblue GmbH as part of the process. Sendinblue is prohibited from selling your data and from using them for purposes other than for sending newsletters. Sendinblue is a German certified service provider which has been selected in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

The respective IP address and the time of log-on and confirmation are stored so that we can prove your registration and solve any possible misuse of your personal data. This qualifies as our legitimate interest in storing this data.

To the extent that you have granted us consent, the legal basis for processing this data after you have subscribed to our newsletter is Art. 6, Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR.  To the extent that the processing is based on a legitimate interest on our part, the legal basis is Art. 6, Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The above data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the stated purposes. The data will thus be stored for the period of time that you subscribe to our newsletter.

You may at any time revoke the consent granted with regard to the storage of data, your email address and their use for sending the newsletter. A corresponding link is provided in every newsletter. Moreover, you can also use the contact details provided in the Data Privacy Notice to inform us at any time of your wish to revoke consent in this regard.

Google Fonts

When our web pages are called up, these fonts are provided via Google servers to display certain fonts on our web pages. As a result of the generated connection, Google can identify the website that the enquiry was made from and the IP address that the display of the font is to be transmitted to.

In doing so, Google Fonts does not set or transmit cookies. Google Fonts analyses website visitor data only in aggregated form, i.e. the data is used to generate general statistics (e.g. which font is used how often).

Google Fonts is used to optimise the design of our website, this use qualifies as a legitimate interest on our part. The legal basis for this use is Art. 6 Sect. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
