Collection and processing of personal data
We attach great importance to the protection of your personal data and adhere to the prevailing legal provisions on data protection and data security. For this reason, we do not collect any personal data via our websites without your consent. When registering for the newsletter, to contact, as a visitor or for sponsoring enquiries, you yourself decide whether or not you wish to use this service and provide us with the necessary personal data. We use them to respond to your inquiry, process your order or provide you with access to special information/offers. As part of the newsletter subscription, your data will be transmitted to Cleverreach, a service provider that facilitates the creation, processing and dispatch.When you visit our website, we store accessing data. In this case, we only collect information that is used for statistical purposes, whereby you as a visitor remain anonymous. Such information includes, for example, the time and duration of your visit to our website as well as the pages on which you have clicked. When you visit www.leag.de, so-called "cookies" are used (see below).
SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a site operator. You can identify an 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.With the activated SSL encryption, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Cookies
We use so-called cookies for our web analysis, which serves to make our internet presence more user-friendly and effective overall. Cookies are text files that are stored on your device.
Two types of cookies can be distinguished: technically necessary cookies and optional cookies. Technically necessary cookies are required for technical reasons for the operation of the website and its functions. The use of data through technically necessary cookies, insofar as this use enables a personal reference and thus constitutes processing, is necessary for the aforementioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Optional cookies may contain functions that go beyond the scope of the use of technically necessary cookies. If links to personal data are established using optional cookies for analysis purposes, the legal basis for your consent is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. We use these cookies for our website analysis. You can find more information in the section so named.
You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time. You can generally object to the use of cookies through your browser settings. Further information on this is available from the Federal Office for Information Security at BSI - JavaScript, Cookies & Fingerprints (bund.de).
Attention: If you delete your cookies, this will result in all cookie options that have already been set also being deleted and you will have to activate or confirm them again.
Analytical Services
We use the web analytics service Matomo on www.leag.de.
Mamoto uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the website. For this purpose, the information generated by the cookie about the use of this website is stored on our server. The IP address is anonymised before storage. This data is collected in order to optimise our website. The data is stored for a period of 12 months. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will not be passed on to third parties.
If you do not agree to the storage and evaluation of this data from your visit, then you can object to the processing by clicking on the mouse when you call up the website. In this case, a so-called opt-in cookie is placed in your browser, which means that Matomo does not collect any session data.

Our website contains links to other websites. If you use these links, you leave the pages of LEAG and thus also the area of validity of this data protection declaration. We are not responsible for the content or data protection of these other websites. The responsibility lies exclusively with the respective website operator.
Use of social media plugins
Social media plug-ins are applications that allow content to be accessed or shared through different service providers. On pages containing such plugins, a direct connection to the server of the respective network is established via your browser as soon as they are clicked on. This provides the network with information about the use of this site. If you are logged in to the respective network at this time, your visit to our website and all interactions in connection with the social media plug-ins (e.g. clicking the "Like" button, creating a comment, etc.) can be assigned to your profile and saved by the network. Even if you do not have your own profile, it cannot be ruled out that data will be saved. We would like to point out that, as the provider of our pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or their use by the social media offers. To minimize data collection by social media providers, log out of the networks before you visit our website.
Our pages include functions from x (former Twitter), Youtube, Google+, Flickr, Linkedin.

The external service provider is obliged to treat the data confidentially and securely and may only use the e-mail if this is necessary for processing and sending our newsletter.
Furthermore, your personal data will only be passed on if you have given your express prior consent or if this is necessary to prosecute criminal offences.

Your privacy concerns are taken into account in accordance with the legal data protection regulations. We may be required by law to disclose your information to third parties. We only comply with such requests to the extent that this is necessary within the scope of the statutory obligation.

However, your data may also be collected if you are not logged in and/or do not have an account with the respective network. This data collection then takes place via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address. We have no influence over this. Please inform yourself about the respective data protection information of the individual networks. You will find information on this in the following.
