We are pleased that you have visited our homepage and would like to thank you for your interest. We would like you to feel comfortable visiting our website, the protection of your privacy and the protection of your private data is therefore of the greatest importance to us and compliance with legal regulations concerning data protection is a matter of course for us. We would like to inform you briefly below how we protect your data and what it means for you when you take advantage of our online offers.
Basically you can use our online presentation without disclosing your personal data. When you call up our website the following data is transmitted from your browser to our web server and stored:
Personal data is information which is used explicitly to determine your
identity. This includes information such as your name and your postal or e-mail
address.
Personal data is only saved in addition to the access data if you give it
to us voluntarily, e.g. in a contact query, if you register for a newsletter
or make an online order or an online application.
We endeavour to take all necessary technical and organisational security measures
to store your personal data in such a manner that it is neither accessible
to third parties nor to the general public. Should you wish to contact us
by e-mail, we advise you that with this communication channel the confidentiality
of the transmitted information cannot be completely guaranteed. We therefore
recommend that you send us confidential information only in person or by post.
If you have provided us with personal data, we only use this to meet your
needs and requirements, in particular to implement the contract concluded
with you or to reply to your query. Your personal data shall not be passed
on, sold or transmitted in any other way to a third party, unless
* this is necessary for the purpose of implementing the contract.
* you have given your prior consent.
You have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the
future.
* if you revoke your consent for its storage.
* if knowledge of the data is no longer required to fulfil the purpose pursued
by storing the data.
* if its storage is not allowed for any other legal reasons.
If you send us a request in writing, we will gladly let you know which data we have stored about you (e.g., name, address, telephone number, date of birth). Your contact for Data Protection is Mr. Volker Zocher, Tel. 08342 / 913-0.
On our websites Java-Applets, Active-X-Controls and Java¬Script may
be used which contain executing elements. The control elements serve solely
to increase the functionality and to facilitate navigation on our website.
If, for security reasons, you do not wish to use these auxiliary programmes
or this active content, you should deactivate the appropriate settings in
your browser. We endeavour to ensure that our websites remain navigable without
these auxiliary programmes and without any noticeable restrictions, however
in certain cases we cannot guarantee this.
As a rule we do not use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer and which are saved by your browser. In a few exceptional cases (special offers or competitions) it may be necessary for technical reasons to use cookies on individual webpages, these are so-called “session cookies” which are deleted automatically when you finish your visit. Cookies do not cause damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. If you do not want cookies to be saved on your computer, please adjust the settings in your internet browser so that it deletes cookies from your computer hard drive, blocks cookies or warns you before a cookie is saved. In this case though we cannot guarantee that you will be able to use all of our services without any restrictions.
On our webpages you will find links to external, third-party websites. We
have no influence over the content and design of these websites of other providers;
the respective operators are liable for these websites. The guarantees in
this data protection declaration therefore naturally do not apply to these
websites.
When we first set up the external links we checked the contents of the third
party websites for any legal infringements and none were apparent. We have
no influence on the current and future design or on the content of the linked
websites. The setting of external links does not mean that we have adopted
the linked contents as our own. It would not be reasonable for us to constantly
check these external links unless there were specific indications of legal
infringements. If we become aware of any legal infringements such links though
are deleted immediately.
As part of the further development of our webpages and the implementation of new technologies changes to this data protection declaration may be necessary. We therefore recommend that you from time to time read this data protection declaration again.
Your trust is very important to us. We would therefore be pleased to answer questions concerning the processing of your personal data at any time. If you have any questions which this data protection declaration has not answered or if you would like more detailed information on an issue, please contact our Data Protection Officer, Mr. Volker Zocher, Tel. 08342 / 913-0.
