General Use of Our Website
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails (including unsolicited newsletters).

Privacy Policy for the Use of Facebook Plugins (Like Button)
Our website integrates plugins of the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. You can recognize these plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. An overview of possible Facebook plugins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Through this connection, Facebook receives the information that you have visited our website using your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, the content of our pages can be linked to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our site with your user account.
