Data protection

We have written this privacy policy to explain to you, in accordance with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation, what information we collect, how we use data and what choices you have as a visitor to this website. unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we have endeavoured to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible when creating them.

Automatic data storage

When you visit websites nowadays, certain information is automatically created and stored, including on this website. when you visit our website as you are doing now, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically stores data such as

the operating system used
the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL)
the host name and IP address of the device from which access is made
Date and time
As a rule, web server log files are stored for a fortnight and then automatically deleted. We do not pass this data on, but we cannot rule out the possibility of this data being viewed in the event of unlawful behaviour.

Personal data that you transmit to us electronically on this website, such as your name, e-mail address, address or other personal details when submitting a form or comments on the blog, will only be used by us together with the time and IP address for the purpose stated in each case, stored securely and not passed on to third parties.we therefore only use your personal data for communication with those visitors who expressly wish to be contacted and for the processing of the services and products offered on this website. We do not pass on your personal data without your consent, but we cannot rule out the possibility of this data being viewed in the event of unlawful behaviour. if you send us personal data by e-mail - i.e. outside this website - we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data unencrypted by e-mail.

TLS encryption with https

We use https to transmit data tap-proof on the Internet. By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognise the use of this data transmission security by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser and the use of the https scheme as part of our Internet address.
