Privacy Policy

We take data protection very seriously and adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy.

We collect and store personal data only to the extent necessary for the purposes stated here. Your personal data will only be processed with your consent, unless prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

We do not use tracking methods. No data is transmitted to third-party providers when you visit our website.

Please note that online data transmission is always associated with security risks; for example, an unencrypted e-mail is the digital equivalent of a postcard and could be read or manipulated by third parties.
