Updated on 1 October 2019
We process personal data confidentially and in accordance with the new EU data protection regulation.
This privacy statement describes what kind of information is collected about the user of the online service, what it is used for and what influence the user has.

2.For what purpose is my personal data collected?
We process personal data only for predefined purposes:
- With the users' consent, we collect email addresses so that we can send them news and information about our services and products.

3. Third Parties
We use the services of a few third parties. The parties are always carefully selected so that we can be sure that they also comply with the EU data protection law. These parties are located in the USA and apply the EU-US Privacy Shield regulation that conforms to EU data protection law. The service may also contain cookies from third parties, such as measurement and tracking services and advertising networks.
3.1. Community plugins
Our online service uses community plugins such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram's Like or Share buttons. Such community plug-in buttons appear on our service, but their content comes directly from the source of the button. The community plugin recognizes that the user is logged in to the service in question, so the page displays customized content in the plugin. Community plugins do not display customized content if the user is not logged in to the service in question. The services of community affiliates can collect information about the visitor's visit in accordance with their valid privacy protection terms. The services in question do not hand over the information they collect to the administrators of this website, unless the user has given their consent to this separately.

COOKIE PRACTICE
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that the internet browser saves on the user's device. Cookies do not damage the user's device or files. Using cookies is a common practice on most websites. Cookies are basically divided into session-specific and permanent cookies. Session-specific cookies expire when the user ends the web service, permanent cookies remain in the browser for a certain time or until the user deletes them.
Cookies have two purposes: on the one hand, they make it easier to use the website, for example by remembering the choices and settings made by the user, on the other hand, they help in developing the website and analyzing usage data. Certain functions do not work without cookies.
How do we use cookies?
We use cookies on our websites to improve the user experience, compile information for marketing purposes and develop our website. We also use cookies to optimize the speed of our website.
Website development
We use cookies to collect website visitor statistics and analyze the data. We track, among other things, which pages are visited and how long the visitor stays on different pages. Our goal is to develop the quality and content of our website.
Marketing
Cookies allow us to display advertisements and offers based on the user's activity on the website, regardless of whether he is logged in or not. We also use cookies e.g. in customer surveys.
What types of cookies do we use?
Session-specific cookies
Session-specific cookies expire when the user ends the session in the web service.
Persistent cookies
A permanent cookie has a specific retention period, i.e. validity period, which determines how long it remains on the computer or mobile device. Such cookies are stored until their validity expires or until they are manually deleted.
Third party cookies
Third-party cookies are cookies that another party installs on the device on our behalf. This happens when a service provider provides services for us, such as analysis services or services that allow our pages to be shared on social media. For example, if you use buttons when sharing content online with your friends via social media such as Facebook, this third party may place cookies on your computer.
