We pursue the goal of limiting the collection, processing and use of personal data during your visit to our webpages to the minimum necessary. We also generally only collect the data from you that we absolutely need to fulfill the purpose.
Also, we do not knowingly collect any personal data from minors (= persons under the age of 18). In cases where we determine that personal data has been provided to us by minors, we delete this data immediately if no downstream process follows. We recommend that legal guardians keep an eye on the internet activities of minors in their care.
According to article 4 of the GDPR, personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as first and last names, addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone or mobile phone numbers, and usually also the IP address.

If you have provided us with your data on portals or platforms accessible via our websites or make them available for retrieval, we process and use the data provided by you exclusively for the purposes for which you provided the data to us.

Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to uniformly display fonts. When loading a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
To do this, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers.
