Hosting provider & server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:

• IP address
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of server request

This data cannot be directly linked to specific individuals. This data will not be combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

SSL encryption

SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator . You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Our website, including all data it contains, is available to crawlers. No AI crawler blocking is used.

Contact form

When you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, your information from the form, including your contact details and IP address, will be stored by us for processing your request and for any follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent, but it will be used for marketing purposes. To send you digital customer information, your email address will be uploaded to our database at CleverReach. You can unsubscribe from this service here . CleverReach's privacy policy is available here

Newsletter data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information. You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

Registration for our newsletter uses a double opt-in process. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from subscribing using someone else's email address.

Newsletter subscriptions are logged to document the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with CleverReach are also logged.

Statistical surveys and analyses

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon," i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from CleverReach's server when the newsletter is opened. During this retrieval, technical information such as browser and system details, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or to analyze target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times.

The statistical data collected also includes whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. While this information can be technically linked to individual newsletter recipients, it is neither our intention, nor that of CleverReach, to monitor individual users. Rather, the analyses help us understand our users' reading habits and tailor our content accordingly, or send different content based on their interests.

Cancellation/Revocation

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. This will simultaneously revoke your consent to its distribution via CleverReach and the statistical analyses. A separate revocation of the distribution via CleverReach or the statistical analysis is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to unsubscribe at the end of each newsletter.

Online booking

When you make an online booking, your contact details will be shared with the booking platform "rentware" of Betterware Software UG. You can find their privacy policy here . All data relevant for processing the transaction will be transferred to Stripe, c/o Legal Process, 510 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94103 (Stripe). You can find their privacy policy here .
