Privacy Policy

We are pleased that you are interested in our homepage.

The protection of your personal data when collecting, processing and using it when you visit our homepage is important to us. Your data is protected within the framework of the legal regulations.

Your personal rights are our highest priority and we do our best to protect and guarantee these rights.

Collection and processing of data
Every access to our homepage and every retrieval of a file stored on the homepage is logged. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. The following are logged: name of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, message about successful retrieval, web browser, pages visited and requesting domain.

In addition, the IP addresses of the requesting computers are logged. However, since this website uses IP anonymization, your IP address is stored in a shortened form so that it is no longer possible to identify a person.
If personal data (such as name, address, email address, etc.) is collected on this website, this is done with your voluntary consent and with your knowledge.
The personal data you may provide when contacting us will be recorded, used and stored by us in accordance with the provisions of the Telemedia Act and the Federal Data Protection Act. You can revoke your consent at any time.

If you have provided us with personal data, e.g. through contact forms, newsletter registration, online shop, email or correspondence, ordering advertising materials (magazines, information brochures, catalogs), we will use this in accordance with German data protection regulations only to answer your inquiries, to establish, process and terminate contracts concluded with you and for technical administration.
Your personal data will only be passed on or otherwise transmitted to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling the contract - in particular passing on order data to service providers and/or suppliers, etc. - if this is necessary for billing purposes or if you have previously consented. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
You have the right to receive information about the personal data stored about you free of charge upon request. In addition, you have the right to correct, block and delete this personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions.
All of your personal data and other information that you provide to us via the online forms integrated on our homepage (contact form, online application) will only be collected, processed and used to process and answer your request. Your data will be forwarded to us by email via our provider and deleted or blocked immediately after answering, unless there are statutory retention periods. It will not be used for any other purpose or passed on to third parties.
All personal data that you send us via the direct donation form is collected, processed and used to process your donation or to verify your identity. This data is forwarded by our provider via an encrypted SLL connection (Secure Sockets Layer). It is not used for any other purpose or passed on to third parties.
You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future.
You have the right to receive information about the personal data stored about you free of charge upon request. In addition, you have the right to correct, block and delete this personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Protection of stored data
