The protection of personal data is very important to us. The use of our website is basically possible without providing personal data. However, if you wish to avail yourself of the offer on our website, the processing of personal data may be required. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally seek the consent of the data subject.

Our association has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of the processed personal data. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection can not be guaranteed.
