This data cannot be assigned to specific people. This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively, if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.
SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When the SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Integration of services and content from third parties
It may happen that third party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, are integrated into our platform. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") are aware of the IP address of the user. Because without the IP address, you could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We strive to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on whether the third-party provider stores the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. We will make sure to inform users about such activities that we are aware of.
