Collection of Personal Data When Visiting Our Website
If you visit our website without entering your data, for example, in a contact form, we collect personal information transmitted by your browser. These data, such as type and version of the browser you use, are technically required to display the content, and to ensure the stability and security of our website. Besides, when you use our sites, cookies are stored on your computer. We use cookies to personalise content and ads, to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic. Please refer to the cookie consent page for more information.
Collection of Personal Data in the Context of Requests
If you enter your details when visiting our website, we will save the information you have provided to us to process your request. That is, for example, when you enter your name in a contact or order form. Your data will be deleted by us as soon as we no longer need it for processing, and if there are no statutory retention periods.
Collection of Personal Data in the Context of Comments
If you leave comments on our website, we collect the data shown in the comments form. Also, your IP address and browser user agent string are captured to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and web address in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience. As a result, you don’t have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Malware and Spam Detection
Our website is regularly scanned for known vulnerabilities and malware to make your visit as safe as possible. Visitor comments and contact/order form entries may be checked explicitly through an automated spam detection service.
Personal Data of Children
Our website is aimed at adults. We don’t specifically market to children. If, as a parent or guardian, you become aware that your children have provided us with personal information, please contact us. At your request, we will promptly remove this information from our systems.
Third-Party Data Processing
We don’t sell or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties. However, this doesn’t include website hosting providers and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you – as long they agree to keep this information confidential. Moreover, we may release your information when we believe it’s appropriate to comply with the law or to protect ours or others’ rights, property, or safety. Non-personally identifiable visitor information though may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Pages and posts on our website may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you have visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This may include tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. We have no control over or responsibility for the content, policies, and practices of third-party service providers. However, to protect the integrity of our site, feedback about these third-party sites and services is always welcome.
Links to Other Pages
From our website, we link to pages or services of other providers (third-party links). If you click on a link leading to a third-party site, you should check its privacy policy. We have no control over or responsibility for the content, policies, and practices of third-party service providers. However, to protect the integrity of our site, feedback about these third-party sites and services is always welcome.
Newsletters and Marketing Emails with ConvertKit
We use ConvertKit as a service provider to send newsletters and other marketing emails. Personal data (e.g., your email address) that you enter to subscribe to these emails will be stored on ConvertKit servers until you revoke your permission (unsubscribe).
With the help of ConvertKit, we analyze our newsletters and email marketing campaigns. Emails that are sent with ConvertKit contain so-called web beacons. They allow us to investigate whether a newsletter or email message has been opened and which links have been clicked.
Besides, technical information is recorded (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information, though, is only used for statistical analysis and is not linked to the personal data of subscribers. We use this information to tailor our newsletters and email campaigns to the interests of the recipients.
If you don’t want us to collect these kinds of data with the help of ConvertKit, please do not subscribe. In case you already have, please unsubscribe. For this purpose, we provide a unsubscribe link in every newsletter or email message you receive from us. Or contact us directly. At your request, we will promptly remove your contact details from our list of subscribers.

Web Analytics With Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to gain insight into the use of our website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google that records and evaluates website traffic. With the statistics, we can improve our offer and make it more engaging.
Google Analytics uses cookies to enable an analysis of website usage. The information generated by a cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. However, this website uses Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIp”. As a result, IP addresses are processed shortened, and this prevents the personal reference. The reduction of IP addresses is usually already done on European servers by Google before the data is transmitted to US servers. Only in exceptional cases, the reduction takes place in the US. For the rare instances in which personal data is transferred to the US, Google has committed to the EU-US Privacy Shield.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. We point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the features of our website.
Furthermore, you may prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie related to your website visits (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google. To make this work, download and install the browser plugin available from this Google webpage: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
