To provide corresponding services, we and our partners use cookies. This is also the case when you visit our website or access our services. 

A “cookie” is a small data package assigned by a website to your device when you visit this website. Cookies are useful and can be used for different purposes. These include, for example easier navigation between different pages, automatic activation of particular functions, saving of your settings, as well as optimized access to our services. Furthermore, the use of cookies enables us to insert relevant advertising tailored to your interests and to gather statistical information about your use of our services. 

This website uses the following types of cookies:

a. “Session cookies”, which cater for normal system usage. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser. 

b. “Permanent cookies”, which are only read by the website and are not deleted when the browser is closed but are stored for a specific period on your computer. This type of cookie enables us to identify you the next time you visit the website and, for example, to save your settings. 

c. “Third party cookies”, which are set by other online services represented by their own content on pages visited by you. These can be external Web analytics companies, for example, which collect and analyze access to our website.

Cookies do not contain personal data that identifies you. However, the persona data stored by us is possibly linked to the data contained in the cookies. You can remove cookies from your device by using the device settings. To do this, follow the relevant instructions. Note that the deactivation of cookies may lead to restrictions on certain functions when using our website.

The tool we use is based on technology from Snowplow Analytics . The data we collect on the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website, or which areas are called. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is used by our web hosting provider and service provider exclusively to improve their offer.

To display the content of our website correctly and in a visually appealing way, we use script- and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache, so they only need be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the contents are shown in a default font. 

• When calling script- or font libraries, an automatic connection to the library operator is created. This provides a theoretical possibility for this operator to collect data. It is currently not known whether the operator of the respective libraries actually does collect data, and to which purpose.
• For data protection regulations concerning operators of the Google library, see: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
  

This policy deals only with the use and disclosure of data we collect from you. If you publish data on other websites or disclose it to third parties in the Internet, other regulations may apply. For this reason, always read the general terms and conditions and data protection regulations before you disclose data. 

These data protection regulations do not refer to business practices of companies we do not own or control, or to persons other than our employees, including third parties to whom we disclose data as described in these data protection regulations. 

We implement our security measures on the website with great care and protect your data. We use procedures and policies typical in the industry to ensure the protection of the data collected and stored, and to prevent the unauthorized use of such data. Furthermore, we demand from third parties that they adhere to similar security measures in accordance with these data protection regulations. Although we take appropriate steps for data protection, we cannot be held responsible for actions taken by someone who has gained unauthorized access to our website or misuses it, and we give no explicit or tacit guarantee that we can prevent such access.

Note that some recipients may be based outside the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission that have an appropriate level of data protection or ensure an appropriate level of data protection through legal agreements.

We can use your personal data, such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, and so on, to provide you with advertising material concerning our services which we think may interest you. 



We respect your right to privacy. For this reason, this marketing material contains an option to unsubscribe from receiving further material. If you unsubscribe, your e-mail address or telephone number is deleted from our marketing distribution lists.

Protection of data on children is particularly important in the online area. The website is not designed for children and is not intended for them. Use of our services by a minor is only permitted with prior consent or authorization by a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect data on minors. If a parent or legal guardian discovers that a child has provided personal data without his or her consent, he or she can contact us under: reiner.bildmayer[at]quartavista.de

We reserve the right to change or check these data protection regulations from time to time. You will find the date of the latest version under “Last Changed On”. Your continued use of the platform after we have announced such changes on our website assumes your consent to the changes to the data protection regulations and is considered to be your consent to be legally bound to the changed provisions.
