Data protection

In the following we would like to inform you about our privacy policy. Here you will find information about the collection and use of personal data when using our website. We comply with the data protection laws applicable in Germany. You can access this declaration at any time on our website.
We expressly point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) is subject to security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties.
The use of the contact data in our imprint for commercial advertising is expressly not desired unless we have given our prior written consent or a business relationship already exists. The provider and all persons named on this website hereby object to any commercial use and disclosure of their data.
General information such as access to our website, time and date are automatically logged by the server. This data is required for the evaluation of the total access to our pages. This concerns statistics such as the total number of visitors and the total number of page views.

Personal data

You can visit our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (such as name, address or e-mail address) is collected on our pages, this is done on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent. If a contractual relationship is to be established between you and us, or its content is to be developed or changed, or if you send us an enquiry, we collect and use personal data from you insofar as this is necessary for these purposes (inventory data). We collect, process and use personal data to the extent necessary to enable you to use the website (usage data). All personal data is only stored for as long as is necessary for the stated purpose (processing your enquiry or handling a contract). In this context, retention periods under tax and commercial law are taken into account. By order of the competent authorities, we may provide information about this data (inventory data) in individual cases, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger, to fulfil the legal tasks of the constitution protection authorities or the Military Counter-Intelligence Service or to enforce intellectual property rights. If you provide your data for the purpose of requesting services or contacting us, you consent to us contacting you by confirming the data protection and sending the form.

Right to information

According to § 34 and § 35 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), you as a user (the law speaks here of "data subject") have the right to request information at any time about what data we have stored about you and for what purpose this data is stored. Furthermore, you can correct incorrect data or have such data deleted whose storage is inadmissible or no longer necessary.

Collection of general information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider and similar. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the contents of web pages requested by you and is compulsory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimise our website and the technology behind it.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transfer viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to facilitate your navigation and enable the correct display of our web pages.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time by clicking on the blue icon at the bottom left (Borlabs Cookie) or by changing your browser settings.

Embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. By clicking on the video preview, the corresponding video is loaded into the website. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells Youtube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behaviour to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your Youtube account first.

When a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behaviour.

Those who have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad programme will not have to expect any such cookies when watching Youtube videos. However, Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you would like to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser.
