Cookies can enable us to adjust the displayed site content to match the interests of repeat users, thereby enhancing the experience on our site, though we may not implement this function at all times.

Upon visiting the site, users are notified about the use of cookies. Most browser software provides the option to decline the use of cookies if desired, with a resulting decrease of site functionality.

Log files capture information such as IP addresses, browser types, OS types, hostname data and the time of each page request. However, the information captured in the log files is not ever correlated or associated with personal data, and so this information does not become personal data, and is not covered by the access and control procedures described above.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place. Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please visit the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

Do-Not-Track Signals and Similar Mechanisms
Some web browsers may transmit “do-not-track” signals to the sites with which the user communicates. Because of differences in how web browsers incorporate and activate this feature, it is not always clear whether users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they even are aware of them. There currently is disagreement, including among participants in the leading internet standards-setting organization, concerning what, if anything, websites should do when they receive such signals.

We currently do not take action in response to these signals. If and when a final standard is established and accepted, we will reassess how to respond to these signals.

Consent to International Transfers of Personal Data
We do not place location restrictions on our web site, so we do not restrict the legitimate use of the site from any country. The personal data we collect on our sites or that you provide to us when you contact us will be sent to the United States. Although the laws that protect personal data in the United States may differ from the laws where you live, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected. If you live outside the United States, by using our websites or contacting us and giving your personal data to us, you consent to the transfer of the data outside of your country.

Changes
This Policy is subject to change at any time. Any such changes will be posted on this page and will be effective when posted.
