Please see below for detailed information about how data is collected during your visit to our site and how this data is used.

1. Collecting and processing data
Each time you access our website or download a file from the site, a log is created. This data is stored for internal system-related and statistical purposes only.

The following items appear in the log:

• Name of the file accessed

This information does not allow us to create personal user profiles.

More detailed personal data is recorded only if you provide us with it voluntarily – when filling in a form, for example.

2. Usage and forwarding of personal data
We will only use the personal information you have provided to respond to enquiries or for technical administration purposes. Any personal information that has been saved will be deleted if you revoke your permission for it to be stored, if the information is no longer necessary in order to fulfil the purpose it has been stored for, or if the information may no longer be stored due to legal reasons.

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

3. Right to access information
Upon written request, we would be happy to inform you about any information that has been stored in relation to your person.

Security notice:
We use all the technical and organisational means available to us in order to store your personal information in such a way that it cannot be accessed by third parties. When communicating via email, however, full security cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, we recommend using the conventional post system for the communication of confidential information.
