Cloudflare may also store cookies on your device for analysis and optimization purposes.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary measures. Details can be found at: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF).
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Email: [email protected]
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons cease to apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. The consent is revocable at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We use tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of these companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
In the context of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may involve the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data if this is necessary within the scope of contract execution, if we are legally obliged to do so, if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data based on a valid data processing agreement.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
If the data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
