On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent when you visit the website through our IT systems.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data can be used to analyse your user behaviour. Where contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the data submitted is also processed for contract offers, orders, or other order enquiries.

3. General notes and mandatory information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Notice on the Controller

The Controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

The Controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these reasons no longer apply.

General notes on the legal bases for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract performance or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external bodies. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external bodies is necessary. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is required for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of the data processing that took place until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction, and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time about this and other questions regarding personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data took place / takes place unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the exercise, defence, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing must be carried out between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from its storage — may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to advertising emails

The use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for the sending of advertising and information materials that have not been expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as by spam emails.

4. Data collection on this website

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

Enquiry by email, phone, or fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your concern. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
