A contact form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. Your consent is obtained during the sending process for the data processing, and reference is made to this data protection declaration. Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The conversation is ended when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusivelyclarified.
