We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this data protection statement. The use of our website is normally possible without giving personal data. If personal data (for example name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis as far as possible.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (for example, when communicating via e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data before access by third parties is not possible.

This allows Facebook to associate the visit of our pages with your user account.
