1. General

A record is made whenever a user visits our website. Generally we are not able to trace this back to specific persons – nor is this our intention. The data thereby acquired is only used for the purposes of data security and optimisation of our website.

In addition, personal data is only stored where you voluntarily provide us with same, e.g. in the course of registration, surveys, competitions, online applications or in the framework of a contract. You will be informed in the relevant input and contact forms about the purposes to which the data collected therein will be put.

You are of course entitled to object to such usage of your data at any time.

Where we launch new products or services, alter Internet procedures or where advances are made in terms of Internet and DP security technology, it becomes necessary to update the data protection declaration.
