In these cases, however, the scope of the data transmitted shall be limited to the necessary minimum.

Our data protection regulations are in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and the data is only processed in the Federal Republic of Germany. A transfer to third countries does not take place and is not intended.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached occurs automatically once a month.
