In that case, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Please note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended to include the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports about website activities, and provide other services associated with the website and the internet for the website operator. The IP address transferred by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not associated with any other Google data. You can prevent the cookies’ storage by a corresponding setting in your browser software; we wish to point out, however, that in this case, you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent.

Google Ads
Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). On our website, we use the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, in this context, conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain personal data, and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we may recognize that you clicked on the ad and were directed to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through AdWords customer websites.
The conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. We learned the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. We do not receive information that identifies users. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO for the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the effect and efficiency of this advertising.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object to this data processing based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO. For this purpose, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
You can also deactivate personalized advertising for you in the Google
advertising settings. In addition, you can deactivate the use of cookies
by third parties by calling up the deactivation page of the Network
Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org

6. Personal Data “Your rights as the data subject.”
Insofar as your data is processed when you visit our website, you have the following rights as the “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR:
6.1 Information
You have the right to request confirmation from us whether or not we are processing personal data concerning you. There is no right to information if disclosure of the information requested would breach a confidentiality obligation or if the information must be kept secret on other grounds, mainly because of an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Notwithstanding the above, there may be an obligation to disclose the information if your interests override the confidentiality interest, in particular given imminent damages. The right to information is also excluded if the data is stored because it cannot be erased based on legal or statutory retention periods, is used exclusively for purposes of backing up data or data protection monitoring, if disclosure of the information is associated with a disproportionately large amount of work, and if appropriate technical and organizational measures prevent processing for other purposes.
6.2 Rectification and completion
If you establish that we have incorrect personal data about you, you may demand rectification of this inaccurate data by us without undue delay. If the personal data concerning you is incomplete, you may require that it be completed.
6.3 Erasure
You have the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), provided that the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression, the right to information, to comply with a legal obligation, or to perform a task of public interest, is necessary, and one of the following reasons applies:
- Personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes they were processed.
- The sole justification for the processing was your consent, which you revoked.
- You have objected to processing your personal data, which we have made public.
- You have objected to the processing of personal data that we have not made public, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.
- Your data has been processed unlawfully.
- Deleting personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.
There is no right to deletion if, in the case of lawful, non-automated data processing, deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the particular type of storage and your interest in deletion is low. In this case, the restriction of processing takes the place of deletion.
6.4 Restriction of processing
You may demand that we restrict the processing if one of the following grounds applies:
- You contest the accuracy of the personal data. Restriction may be demanded in this case for a period that allows us to check the accuracy of the data.
- Processing is unlawful, and you demand restriction of processing instead of erasure of your data.
- We no longer require your data for processing, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend against legal claims.
- You have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR. Restricting processing may be demanded as long as it has not been established whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.
Restriction of processing means that the personal data may be processed with your consent to establish, exercise, or defend against legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of significant public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we should inform you of this.
6.5 Data portability
You have the right to data portability if the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) or Art. 9 Para. 2 Letter a) GDPR) or on a contract whose contracting party You are, the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons: You can request that we receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, familiar, and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit this data to another responsible person without hindrance on our part. As far as technically feasible, you can request that we communicate your personal information directly to another person responsible.
6.6 Objection
Where the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (e) GDPR (performance of a task carried out in the public interest or the exercise of official authority vested in the controller) or on Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the data controller or a third party), you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you. This also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (e) or (f) GDPR. Once you have exercised your right to object, we shall no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or if the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend against legal claims.
You may lodge an objection to processing the personal data concerning you for direct marketing purposes at any time. Once you have exercised this right to object, we shall no longer use the personal data concerning you for purposes of direct marketing. This also applies to the profiling associated with such direct marketing.
You can notify us informally of your objection by telephone, email, fax, or by writing to the postal address of our legal practice provided at the beginning of this data protection policy.
6.7 Withdrawal of consent
You have the right to withdraw consent that you have given at any time, with effect from that point forward. Withdrawal of consent may be communicated informally via phone, email, fax, or our postal address. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing carried out based on your consent until receipt of its departure. On receipt of the exit, the data processing based exclusively on your consent shall stop.
6.8 Complaints
Suppose you believe that the processing of your data is unlawful. In that case, you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority responsible for your place of residence or work or the place of the alleged infringement.
