We Collect These Data:

• We use cookies. You can set your browser so that these cookies are not stored or will be deleted at the end of your Internet session.
• When you register for the newsletter, we store the time of registration, registration details and email address you provide us with for this purpose. We also record when you open the newsletter and on which links you click.
• The website contains specific data entry forms at various points, which can consist of mandatory fields as well as fields with different contents that are to be filled in voluntarily.
• Within plugins that we use on our website (e.g.: Google Maps).

How We Collect Your Data:
We collect data automatically when you visit our website, if applicable through the use of cookies. The same applies to data that is collected during the use of the newsletter.

Otherwise, we collect data only on the basis of the data you manually enter on our website, in the respective data collection forms. Wherever this is the case, you will find a link to the specific data protection notice directly on the form.

We Use Your Data for This Purpose:

• For technical administration and provision of the website

Moreover, We Use Your Data:

• Only to the extent permitted by law

• For the provision of information to public authorities

How Long We Store Your Data:
The duration of data storage depends primarily on the fulfilment of the purpose. This means that we store your data exactly as long as we need it to fulfill the purpose of the data collection. In some cases, however, there are legal retention periods that provide for a different storage duration. In these cases, we store the data for as long as required by law. Should data in a particular context (for example Google Analytics) be deleted after another period, this is stated in the Detailed Data Protection Statement.
