Storage of data
In connection with your access to this Internet offer, data is temporarily stored and processed which may possibly allow an identification (e.g. IP address, date, time and pages viewed). Any permanently stored data will be anonymized and serve statistical purposes only.

Personal data (e.g. your name, e-mail address etc.) will only be transmitted if you expressly and deliberately provide us with such information for specific purposes. The data will only be processed, stored and passed on to the extent required for the intended purpose and or if you have given your consent. On principle, no active elements (JavaScript, ActiveX etc.) are used on HTML pages.

Data transmission
The German Telecommunication Act also protects your e-mails and submitted online forms from unauthorized access and processing. Observation of the secrecy of telecommunications is guaranteed as far the MWME online offer is concerned. It should be noted, however, that other Internet operators and users can record data transmission on the Internet. The MWME therefore transmits data in encoded form wherever possible.
