Privacy Policy
Welcome to our website! We attach great importance to protecting your data and safeguarding your privacy. Below, we would like to explain which data we process, when, for what purpose, and on what legal basis. This information is intended to explain how our services work and how the protection of your personal data is ensured.
According to Art. 4 (1) GDPR / Art. 5 ( a ) revDSG , personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified directly or indirectly. Further information on this can be found, among other things, in Art. 4 (1) GDPR / Art. 5 (a ) revDSG .
If we cite our legitimate interest or a legitimate interest of a third party (Art. 6 (1 ) (f) GDPR / Art. 31 (1) revDSG ) as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, you have the right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.
According to Art. 21 (1) and (2) GDPR
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time. We will not process your personal data after you have objected unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (see Art. 21 (1) GDPR, the so-called "limited right of objection"). In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection that arise from your particular situation.
In the following text, we will inform you of your right of objection in the individual sections with the note "You have a right of objection," if this right exists. You will also find further information on exercising your right of objection there.
Safety and technical details
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Automated decision-making and profiling do not take place on our website.
Rights of data subjects (Art. 15 ff. GDPR / Art. 25 ff. revDSG )
to receive information about your personal data stored by us free of charge upon request (Art. 15 EU GDPR / Art. 25 revDSG ). If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 EU GDPR / Art. 32 revDSG ). If the legal requirements are met, you have the right to erasure (Art. 17 EU GDPR / Art. 32 Para. 2 lit. c revDSG ) and restriction of processing (Art. 18 EU GDPR). You also have the right to receive personal data concerning you that you have provided to us and to transmit this data to another controller (Art. 20 EU GDPR / Art. 28 revDSG ). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (Art. 7 Para. 3 EU-GDPR) or to object to the processing of personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) (Art. 21 EU-GDPR / Art. 31 Para. 1 revDSG ).
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you may lodge a complaint with the State Commissioner for Data Protection about the processing of your data (Art. 77 EU GDPR / Art. 4 revDSG ):

Data collection on our website
Below you can find out where and why we collect personal data from you.
Log files
Each time you visit our website, we automatically collect data and information from your device's system and store it in so-called server log files. This data refers to an identified or identifiable natural person (here: website visitor). The data is automatically transferred by your browser when you visit our website. The following information is recorded:
- The time of access to our website (request to the server of the host provider),
- URL of the website from which you accessed our website,
- the operating system you are using,
- Type and version of the browser you use,
- IP address of your computer (The IP address is stored anonymously).
The purpose of this processing is to make our website accessible from your device and to enable our website to display correctly on your device or in your browser. Furthermore, the data helps us optimize our website and ensure the security of our systems.
The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1 ) (f) GDPR / Art. 31 (1) revDSG . We have a legitimate interest in presenting you with a website optimized for your browser and enabling communication between our server and your device. For the latter, the processing of your IP address is particularly necessary.
We store this data for one month.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device via your internet browser.
You can determine the setting of cookies yourself by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. You can allow, deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies via the browser settings. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time.
.Please bear in mind that the use of our Internet pages may not be fully usable in all functions if cookies are not used.
We use technically necessary cookies
Cookies classified as "technically necessary" are used to enable you to use our website. Certain parts and functions of the website may not function properly without these cookies.
Technically necessary cookies allow your computer to be identified during your visit to our website, thereby making it easier for you to use our website. (Example: In order to provide you with the full function of a shopping basket in an online shop, a cookie must be set). The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 I S. 1 lit. e) DSGVO.
- Use of the session cookie "fe_typo_user" for online forms:
The cookie is set when you submit a web form on our site. It's primary purpose is to prevent duplicate submissions of the form and so preventing sending e-mails multiple times.
We use other, not technically necessary, cookies
Cookies may also be used to personalise interfaces and their content, to offer social network functions or to analyse user access to the website. These are so-called "non-technically necessary cookies".
In addition, third-party applications (cooperation partners, service providers or advertising networks e.g. Google Maps, YouTube etc.) may be made available on the website, which may then set cookies.
.These third-party providers may merge this information with other data that you have provided or that you have collected in the course of your use of the services.
By law, we may only store cookies on your device if they are strictly necessary for the operation of this site (necessary/essential cookies). For all other cookie types (non-essential cookies) we need your consent. For this reason, we use a consent management tool which documents the management of cookie settings and gives you detailed information about all cookies.
.Do you want to change your consent or receive additional information about specific cookies?
Right of objection
You have a right of objection. In your browser settings, you can restrict or completely prevent the setting of cookies. You can also arrange for the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser window, but we would like to point out that in both cases you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
Contact form
Our website contains one or more contact forms that you can use to contact us electronically. If you contact us using these contact forms, the data entered in the input fields will be processed by us, and you must expressly consent to this processing before submitting your request. If you do not wish this, you can contact us by phone or email instead. If confidential data is involved, we also ask that you do not use our contact forms, as sufficient confidentiality cannot be guaranteed (no end-to-end encryption).
We treat mandatory and voluntary information equally. Mandatory information is necessary to contact you and process your request.
When you send the message, the following data is also saved:
- All data entered in the form
- Date and time of sending
The purpose of processing personal data is to process the contact request and to be able to contact the inquirer to answer the request. The other personal data processed during the submission process serves to prevent misuse of our contact form.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is Art. 6 (1 ) (a) GDPR / Art. 31 (2 ) (b) revDSG . Personal data will only be processed for as long as necessary to provide the function, and you naturally have the option of revoking your consent at any time.
OpenStreetMap
We use map sections from OpenStreetMap on our website, for example, to show directions to companies or clubs, or to illustrate the location of events. When using OpenStreetMap, personal data is routed via a type of (reverse) proxy provided by our website provider. Your IP address is therefore not passed on to OpenStreetMap. The legal basis for the use of OpenStreetMap is Art. 6 (1 ) (f) / Art. 31 (1) revDSG (revised German Data Protection Act ).

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. That's why we do not directly implement external services. We obtain prior consent for all external services used on our website. This means that no personal data is passed on to third parties when the website is loaded.
