All personal data is processed and secured with due care. We comply with the requirements set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This privacy statement explains which personal data we collect and use and for what purposes.

This privacy statement was last updated on 30 January 2019.

Recording and processing of data

By using our website, you may leave certain information with us. We collect and store data which you choose to provide to us voluntarily. This may be personal data. Personal data can be provided to us both actively and passively. Data provided actively is data entered by you on the website or sent to us by e-mail, for example. In addition, data can be stored on the website automatically, sometimes without your knowledge. In that case, the information provided is passively. This privacy statement explains what active and passive data is processed exactly and for what purposes. Data that is no longer needed is removed. You are entitled to ask for inspection, correction or removal of your data. Please use the contact details at the bottom of this privacy statement to do so.

When you complete a contact form on the website or when you send us an e-mail, the personal data disclosed therein is stored for as long as the nature of the form or the content of your e-mail requires it to be fully answered or processed.

Disclosure to third parties

We do not disclose the data you provide us with to third parties, unless this is necessary within the framework of an agreement that you conclude with us or when this is required by law. Furthermore, we may disclose personal data to the competent authorities in the event of suspected fraud or misuse of our website.

The newsletter subscription list is not disclosed to third parties.

Data security

We use appropriate security procedures to prevent unauthorised persons from gaining access to personal data, among other things.

Click behaviour and visiting statistics

The website keeps a record of general visiting statistics. Within this framework, the IP address of your computer, the username (if any), the time of enquiry and details sent along by the visitor’s browser are logged and used for statistical analyses of visitors and their (click) behaviour on the website. We try and anonymise this data as much as possible. We do not disclose this data to third parties.

Use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a simple, small file that is sent along with pages of the website and which is stored on the hard disk of your computer by your browser. This enables us to combine different website page requests and analyse user behaviour, among other things. You can disable the use of cookies, although this may impair the functionality and ease of use of the website.

We regard all cookies on our website as necessary and they will therefore be loaded by default. If you wish to disable these cookies, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This add-on prevents information about visitor activity from being shared with Google Analytics.

Alternatively, you can simply block and delete cookies yourself via your Internet browser at any time. You can adjust your Internet browser so that you receive a message when a cookie is placed. You can also indicate that certain cookies may not be placed. View the help function of your browser for this option. If you delete the cookies in your browser, it may negatively affect the user experience on this website. Some tracking cookies are placed by third parties who, among other things, show advertisements to you via our website. You can delete these cookies centrally via www.youronlinechoices.eu.

We also use social media cookies. With this, social media such as Facebook and LinkedIn register which articles and pages you share via their social media sharing buttons. They may also contain tracking cookies that track your surfing behaviour on the web. 

Be aware that if you do not want cookies, we can no longer guarantee that our website will work properly. It may be that some functions of the site are lost, or worse, that you can no longer visit the website. In addition, refusing cookies does not mean that you will no longer see any advertisements. The difference is that ads will no longer be tailored to your interests and may therefore be repeated more often.
