(In the further course of this privacy policy, we are referred to as "we" or "us".)

2. What data we process about you

In the course of your visit to this website, we will collect the following information: The date and time you access a page on our website, your IP address, the name and version of your web browser, the website (URL) you visited before accessing this website, certain cookies (see points below) and the personal data that you provide yourself by filling in the contact form (e.g. providing your name and email address) or the content of your message.

3. Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, in accordance with legal requirements and taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing. In doing so, we take into account the likelihood and extent of potential threats to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access, as well as access to the data itself, its input, disclosure, availability, and segregation.

To protect user data from unauthorized access during transmission via our online services, we use TLS encryption (HTTPS). This technology ensures the secure transmission of information between the website or app and the user's browser or between servers. TLS, the more modern and secure version of SSL, meets the highest security standards. For websites with a TLS certificate, the URL begins with "https://".

4. Cookies and external services

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are data records that are stored in your browser by the website or server when you visit the website and sent to the server each time you access the website. Cookies allow data (e.g., language settings, shopping cart contents, login or registration status, etc.) to be stored in the browser between page views or recurring visits. This means that the browser remembers the settings from the last time you accessed or visited the website. Cookies can also be used to uniquely identify your browser. This can be used, among other things, to verify your authorization (login or registration status).

When you first access our website, a banner appears informing you that cookies are being set or that external services are being integrated. At the same time, the text provides information about data processing supported by cookies and external services via a link to this privacy policy. In this banner, you have the option to consent to the use of all services and cookies or individual categories (data protection categories). Your consent will be stored in your browser using a cookie for up to . If you are under 14 years of age and wish to give your consent, you must ask your legal guardian for permission. If you ignore the banner or refuse consent, no services or cookies that are not absolutely necessary for the operation of the website will be activated. Please note that if you reject or block cookies or external services, certain features of the website will no longer be available and may prevent you from fully using the website.
