We consider the protection of your data and your privacy to be of the utmost importance. We therefore inform you below about the collection and use of personal data when using our website.

Anonymous data collection when using our website

You can visit our websites without providing any personal information. We do not store any personal data in this context. Information is automatically transmitted to the server of our website by the browser used on your end device. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file.

The following data is involved:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of the access
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Website from which the access is made
  • Browser used
  • Your device's operating system
  • Access provider name

Such data is required for the following reasons:

  • to ensure a smooth connection setup and a comfortable use
  • and to analyse the system stability and security of the website.

In order to improve our offer and the user experience, we only evaluate statistical data that do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest arises from the above-mentioned reasons.

Collection and processing when using the contact form

When using the contact form, we collect personal data (individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person) only to the extent provided by you. We only use your details and your e-mail address to process your request. Your data will be archived in the course of processing your request.

After the contract has been fully processed, all personal data will initially be stored, taking into account retention periods under tax and commercial law, and then deleted after expiry of the period, unless you have consented to further processing and use.

Transfer of personal data

Your data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

Your personal data will only be passed on

  • in the case of explicit granting of authorisation in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO

  • if there is a legal obligation according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO
  • if legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO)

The scope of the data transfer is limited to a minimum.

Data subject rights

You have the following rights upon request:

  • Restriction of the processing of your personal data, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, but you object to its erasure and we no longer require the data, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO (Art. 18 DSGVO).
  • Release of your personal data that you have provided to us. This is done in a structured, common and machine-readable format either to yourself or to another controller (Art. 20 DSGVO).

Data protection

The Secure Socket Layer (SSL) procedure is used on our website. The encryption level is specified by your browser (usually 256-bit encryption). You can tell whether a page is being transmitted in encrypted form by the key, lock or similar symbols in the address bar of your browser.

Furthermore, we take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. We continuously optimise our security measures in line with technological developments.

Right of objection

Pursuant to Art. 21 DSGVO, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data that is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO, insofar as there are grounds for doing so that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In this case, there is a general right of objection that is implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.

Modification of our privacy policy

We reserve the right to amend this data protection declaration from time to time so that it always complies with the current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection statement will then apply to your next visit.
