SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL certificate and TLS encryption. You can recognise 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 or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used to ensure a uniform and appealing presentation of our online services. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.

For what purpose is your data collected?

On the one hand, the data is used to ensure the error-free provision of the website. On the other hand, data may be used to analyse user behaviour. If you have volunteered data to us (e.g. for the newsletter or via contact form), this data will only be used for the respective purpose (e.g. sending the newsletter, contacting you upon your request). Personal data will only be passed on or transmitted to third parties by us if this is necessary for the purpose of using or ensuring system security, the technically error-free and optimised provision of services, or if you as a user of the website have given your prior consent. As a user of the website, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
