Please note that data transmission via the internet (e.g., in the case of communication by email) may be subject to security gaps. It is not possible to protect such data completely against access by third parties.

In the context of the Webtool, personal data is used to respond to requests or inquiries, customize the site for users (e.g. show locationally relevant information), op-erate and improve the site, including usage analysis and audits, protection against fraud, spam, harassment, intellectual property infringement, crime and security risks, and to maintain and improve the safety and secu-rity of the site.

Personal data is deleted on a regular basis when it is no longer needed to fulfill a contract, if the person in ques-tion has not provided their separate approval to retain said data or if statutory retention obligations and dead-lines do not stipulate that data be retained for a longer period.

Planned transmission of data to third countries

In general, no personal data will be transmitted to third countries by electronic means. Exceptions to this are possible when there is a specific legal basis for such a transmission.
