The protection of your personal data is an important concern for us …
Personal Data
Personal data that you transmit to us electronically—such as your name, postal address, email address, or other personal information—will only be used for the specific purpose stated. Your data will be stored securely and will not be passed on to third parties. We will only send you information if you have registered for the corresponding services.
Right of Withdrawal
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Simply send us an email. We will delete your data immediately.
Liability for Links to Other Websites
Our website contains links to external third‑party websites over whose content we have no control. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for this content. The respective providers or operators of the linked pages are solely responsible for their content.
Use of Cookies
Cookies are small data elements that can help adapt a website to your needs. A cookie is a piece of data that a website sends to your browser to be stored on your system.
We occasionally use temporary cookies to support you more effectively when you return to the website. However, you can configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is sent, allowing you to decide whether to accept it.
Privacy Policy (extended version)
Personal data refers to information that can be used to identify you—such as your real name, address, postal address, or telephone number.
Using our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Whenever personal data is collected on our pages, this is done on a voluntary basis. These data will not be passed on to third parties. If you contact us via a form on the website or by email, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow‑up questions. Persons under the age of 18 should not submit personal data without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR.
The legal basis for processing data necessary to fulfill our services, perform contractual measures, or respond to inquiries is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
The legal basis for processing data required to meet our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.
The legal basis for processing data to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
If, within the scope of our data processing, we transmit data to other persons or companies (such as processors), this is done only on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if transfer to service providers such as payment processors is required under Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR for contract fulfillment), if you have consented, if a legal obligation exists, or based on our legitimate interests (e.g. when using service providers, web hosts, etc.).
If we commission third parties to process data based on a so‑called “processing contract”, this is done under Art. 28 GDPR.
Your Right of Access and Our Duty to Provide Information
You may request, free of charge and at any time, information about the data we store about you, have this data corrected, or revoke your consent for future use. Your data will be deleted as soon as you request it or once the purpose of storage has been fulfilled, unless statutory obligations (e.g. tax or accounting requirements) prevent deletion.
To exercise your rights, please use the contact details provided in the imprint.
If required by law, we may be obligated in individual cases to disclose inventory data to the competent authorities—for example for law enforcement purposes, to prevent threats, or to fulfill legal duties of intelligence or security agencies. Such disclosures are made only after careful examination and exclusively on the basis of applicable laws.
Cookies
Cookies are small data packets that your browser can store and manage. On our own web pages, cookies are used for necessary and useful purposes, such as securing forms against spam or enabling login to the members’ area. Our cookies are automatically deleted once you close your browser.
Our online offering contains links to external websites and services such as Facebook (Data Policy), YouTube, or Google. These services may use cookies—including tracking cookies—without us being able to notify you each time. If you maintain an active account with any of these services, they and their advertising networks may track your activity across many websites worldwide. (See, for example, the Quarks TV segment on Facebook.)
Social Media Links
We use only simple links to these services (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, etc.), not the embedded code provided by the platforms. Therefore, no information is transmitted to the social media platforms unless you actively click the corresponding link.
Google Maps
Our website uses Google Maps to display geographic information visually. When using Google Maps, statistical data are collected, processed, and used by Google. For more information on data processing, please refer to Google’s privacy notice.
Video Display via External Services
To display certain videos, we must—in some cases for copyright reasons—embed external providers such as YouTube or Vimeo. These services use cookies and create usage statistics, for example to prevent fraud or improve user-friendliness. They also connect to advertising networks; for YouTube, this includes Google’s DoubleClick service. When videos are started, statistical data is transmitted. More information is available on the respective providers’ websites: YouTube, Vimeo.
Google Fonts
We do not use Google Fonts on our website.
