HSM privacy policy:
Data protection
The operators of these pages take protecting your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential, in accordance with legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.
It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. If personal data (for example, your name, address or e-mail addresses) are collected on our pages, whenever possible, this happens on a voluntary basis. These data are not shared with third parties without your express permission.
Note that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating via e-mail) can have gaps in security. Flawless data protection against access by third parties is not possible.
Right of access, erasure, locking
You have the right to access to your stored personal data and receive information about their origin, recipients and the purpose of data processing for free at any time, as well as a right to the correction, locking or deletion of these data. For this purpose, and in the event of further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the publication details.
Cookies
The Internet pages sometimes use what are known as cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer or contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our web services more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are what are known as "session cookies." These are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser upon your next visit.
You can adjust your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only permit cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general as well as activate the automatic erasure of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.

The provider of these pages automatically gathers and stores information in what are known as server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. This information includes:
• Browser type/ browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. These data are not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to review these data retroactively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Facebook plugins
Plugins from the social network Facebook are integrated on our pages (provider: Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA).

If you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. As a result, Facebook receives the information that you have visited our page with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook "Like" button while you are logged in to your Facebook account, you can link content of our pages to your Facebook profile. Facebook can thus attribute the visit to our pages to your user account. Note that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook.
