General Notes and Mandatory Information
Data Protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your already given consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of data protection law, the affected person has a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is located. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link:

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address line switching 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.
Right to Information, Blocking, Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this and other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.
Objection to Promotional Emails
The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.
Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies necessary for the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you wish to use (e.g., shopping cart) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
-
Browser type and version
-
Operating system used
-
Referrer URL
-
Hostname of the accessing computer
-
Time of the server request
-
IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
When you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent. Data from joint projects with Friedrich Wenz will be forwarded to Wenz Academy, Lehenstraße 7, 77963 Schwanau, and processed there on our behalf.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

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 to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to know that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
