The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our privacy policy listed below this text.

Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the legal notice on this website. How do we collect your data? On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may be data that you enter in a contact form, for example. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g., Internet browser, operating system, or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website and is based on our legitimate interest. What do we use your data for? Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. What rights do you have regarding your data? You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Further information on your rights as a data subject can be found at https://datenschutz.freitag‒gruppe.de/en.

When you visit our website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous; your surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

We use the YouTube.com platform to post our own videos and make them publicly available. YouTube is a service provided by a third party not affiliated with us, namely YouTube LLC. Some of the pages on our website contain links to YouTube. As a general rule, we are not responsible for the content of linked websites. However, if you follow a link to YouTube, we would like to point out that YouTube stores its users' data (e.g., personal information, IP address) in accordance with its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes. We also embed videos stored on YouTube directly on some of our websites. When this is done, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. However, the YouTube videos are only accessed by clicking on them separately. This technology is also known as “framing.” When you visit a (sub)page of our website on which YouTube videos are embedded in this form, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. YouTube content is only integrated in “extended data protection mode.” YouTube provides this mode itself and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially store any cookies on your device. However, when you visit the relevant pages, your IP address and the other data mentioned in section 4 are transmitted, thereby revealing which of our web pages you have visited. However, this information cannot be attributed to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service (e.g., Google+) before visiting the page or are permanently logged in. As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube will only store cookies on your device that do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by adjusting your browser settings and extensions accordingly. Address and link to the third-party provider's privacy policy: YouTube LLC, headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA; YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Inc. Information on data processing and privacy notices by YouTube and Google can be found here https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and here https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=de.

We use the open source map service “OpenStreetMaps” (= “OSM”). The provider is the OpenStreetMap Foundation. To use OSM, the IP address of your device must be stored, and the map material is loaded from an external server. OSM is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and to make it easy to find the locations we have indicated on the website; this constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in data processing).
