We do not collect any personal data via our websites unless you voluntarily provide us with such data (through orders and inquiries). Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you—for example, your name, email address, and telephone number. This data is used exclusively for the intended purpose (responding to inquiries, processing orders, providing information and offers). This data is never passed on to third parties (e.g., through sale).
We collect personal data when you voluntarily provide it to us when contacting us (e.g., via contact form or email).

The data that is collected can be seen in the respective input forms.

Each time a website is accessed, the web server automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the access.
This access data is evaluated solely for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the site and improving our offering.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from us to another controller, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

IV. DATA PROTECTION PROVISIONS ON THE USE AND APPLICATION OF MATOMO
The controller has integrated the Matomo component into this website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis tool collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and to perform a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The software is operated on the server of the controller, and the log files, which are sensitive in terms of data protection, are stored exclusively on this server. The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. The controller uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of this website, among other things, in order to compile online reports showing the activities on our website. Matomo sets a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. Setting the cookie enables us to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, the Matomo component automatically prompts the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which we use, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.
As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Matomo relating to the use of this website. To do this, the data subject must set "Do Not Track" in their browser.
However, setting the opt-out cookie may mean that the data controller's websites are no longer fully usable for the data subject.
