As the website operator, we take the protection of your data very seriously and treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance to legal requirements. We recommend you to read our privacy policy regularly, as it may change due to the constant development of our website or offers as well as the development of legal or regulatory requirements.
In this privacy policy, we use terms (e.g. „personal data“ or „processing“) defined in article 4 EU-GDPR.

These log files are stored up to 7 days and deleted afterwards.

In case data must be retained for reasons of evidence, it is excluded from the deletion until the incident has been fully clarified. The same settings and rules apply to the data servers "daten.verwaltungsportal", "fotos.verwaltungsportal.de", "vorschau.verwaltungsportal.de" and "layout.verwaltungsportal.de", that are used as they belong to the backend system of our website provider.
Cookies
This website uses cookies to increase the usability, functionality and security of the website. Cookies are small files, that are stored on your terminal device. Your browser accesses these files. This process allows to distinguish individual browsers from others. Therefore, through the use of cookies the website can offer functions that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. This applies in particular to simple menu navigation and other individual website settings. The cookies for these functions usually have a maximum lifetime of 24 hours and are not used to identify visitors.
Modern browsers offer the option of not allowing cookies and thus generally disabling them for one or all websites. When using this browser function, it is not guaranteed that all functions of this website can be used without restrictions.
Collection and processing of personal data
In general, the use of our website is possible without providing personal data. However, should the user wants to use a function that requires the provision of personal data, the website operator will only process the personal data with a corresponding legal basis or with the consent of the data subject. Personal data is any information that can be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person - for example, your name, e-mail address or telephone number.
On our website, we offer a contact form. There, we process personal data such as name, e-mail, telephone number and content information from the form. We only process this personal data with the explicit permission of the data subjects and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations and the EU-GDPR. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractual agreed services and optimizing our online offering.
Handling of contact data
If you contact us using the offered contact options, your given information will be processed for the purpose of processing and responding to your request. Without your consent, this data will not be passed on to third parties.
Handling of comments, contributions and forms
If you write contributions or comments on this website, your IP-adress may be stored. This occurs due to legitimate interests within article 6 (1) f EU-GDPR and serves the security of ourselves as the website operators. Should your contribution or comment violate applicable law, we as the operators can be prosecuted for this. Therefore, we have an interest in the identity of the actual author.
SSL-encryption
If the SSL encryption of this website is activated, sensitive data that you transmit to us via this website (e.g. via contact form) cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an active encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If encryption is active, the data that you transmit to us via the website cannot be read by third parties.
Google Recaptcha
To protect against abuse of forms, ReCaptcha by Google come into operation, whereby the optional parameter 'remoteip' is not set in the API query. When using the captcha, your browser downloads required data from Google. During this process, your browser establishes a connection to Google's servers, so that Google gains knowledge of the request and your IP address via our website. The operator of this site has no influence on this data transmission.
The use of Google's Recaptcha is carried out in the interest of preventing misuse of forms and is intended to affect the usability of the website as little as possible. Due to mostly automatic recognition and a large variety of functions, the captcha offers one of the most user-friendly captchas on the market and therefore represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f EU-GDPR.
