Data Protection
The use of my website is possible without providing personal data. If personal data can be entered (for example: name, address, or email address), this is done on a voluntary basis. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.
Data transmission over the Internet (e.g., email communication) can have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible. The use of contact data published in the imprint by third parties for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby prohibited. I reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.

The web server stores information in its log files, some of which your browser transmits to me. This includes:

SSL Encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as the requests you send to me. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the fact that the address in the browser’s address bar starts with https:// and a lock symbol appears nearby. If SSL encryption is enabled, the data you submit to me cannot be read by third parties.
