The operators of this site take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations and this data protection declaration.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

SSL ENCRYPTION
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
USE OF reCAPTCHA
We only want to welcome real people to our site. Bots or spam software of any kind can safely stay at home. That’s why we do everything we can to protect ourselves and give you the best possible experience. This is why we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. This way we can be pretty sure that we remain a „bot-free“ website. When you use reCAPTCHA, data is sent to Google to verify that you are a human being. reCAPTCHA is therefore used to protect the security of our website and therefore your security. Without reCAPTCHA, for example, it is possible for a bot to register as many email addresses as possible during the registration process in order to „spam“ forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. With reCAPTCHA we can prevent such bot attacks.
What information does reCAPTCHA collect?
reCAPTCHA collects personal information from users in order to verify that actions on our website are human. The IP address and other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service may be sent to Google. IP addresses are almost always truncated within the member states of the EU or other signatories to the European Economic Area Agreement before being sent to a server in the USA. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google unless you are signed in to your Google Account when using reCAPTCHA. The reCAPTCHA algorithm first checks to see if your browser already has Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.). Then, reCAPTCHA sets an additional cookie on your browser and takes a snapshot of your browser window.
The following list of browser and user data collected is not exhaustive. Rather, it is a sample of the information that we know is collected by Google. Referrer URL (the address of the page from which the visitor came):
-IP address (e.g. 256.123.123.1)
-Information about your operating system (the software that allows your computer to run). Known operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X or Linux) – Cookies (small text files that store data in your browser)
-Mouse and keyboard behaviour (every action you perform with the mouse or keyboard is stored)
-Date and language settings (which language is saved by default) or . what date you are on your All Javascript objects (JavaScript is a programming language that allows web pages personal computer to adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all kinds of data under one name) Screen resolution (indicates how many pixels the image display consists of)
It is undisputed that Google uses and analyses this data even before you click the „I’m not a robot“ box. In fact, with the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, there is no checkmark at all, and the entire recognition process takes place in the background. Exactly how much and which data Google stores is not disclosed by Google.
