I. General information and mandatory information

We appreciate your interest in our website. Data protection is particularly important to us. The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you.

By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed about the rights to which they are entitled using this data protection declaration.

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this data protection declaration. As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures for data processing to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

II. Scope of processing personal data

As a general rule, we only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data regularly only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations that apply to us.

III. Contact option via the website

Due to legal regulations, our website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes an email address. If a data subject contacts the person responsible for processing by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

IV. Note on the responsible body

V. Legal basis for processing

1. If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

2. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, this is based on Processing based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

3. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

4. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In such a case, processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter d GDPR.

5. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 047 GDPR).

VI. Provision of the website and creation of log files

Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

1. Information about the browser type and version used

2. the user's operating system

3. the user's Internet service provider

4. the user's IP address

5. Date and time of access

6. Websites from which the user's system accesses our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This does not affect the user's IP addresses or other data that enables the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

However, the temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. To do this, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. This also represents the legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR.

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility for the user to object.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the IP address is collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
