Your personal information is never disclosed to third parties outside our group of companies without your explicit permission. We disclose personal information to government institutions or authorities only if required to do so under relevant national law.

Cookies

Some parts of our website use "cookies" to help us tune our service to your requirements. A cookie is a token that a server can send to your computer to identify it - but not you personally - for the duration of your visit. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically, but you can also deactivate this function if you wish. Refer to the information supplied by your browser provider to find out how to do this. However, refusing all cookies could mean that you cannot take full advantage of our services.

Data collected and stored by this website may be used for marketing and optimization purposes. However, analysis for these purposes takes place only in anonymized form.

Our security measures are continually upgraded and adjusted in line with the current state of knowledge.

Reports; changes; deletion

If you would like a report on our storage of your personal information, if your data are incorrect and should be altered, or if you wish your details to be deleted, please contact our Data Privacy Officer RA Tim Faulhaber using the information under  Contact.

Please allow a reasonable time for us to respond to your requests.

We will store and use information you share with us by filling out forms unless or until you cancel the service in question or have not made active use of our services for longer than two years. In this case, the data will be deleted after two years in the absence of a statutory obligation to retain them for longer.

The ongoing development of the Internet means that DBS may need to amend its data privacy policy from time to time. We reserve the right to make changes at any time as necessary.
