2) Data collection when visiting our website

2.1 When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the page server (so-called “server log files”). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

  • Our visited website
  • Date and time of access
  • Amount of data sent in bytes
  • Source/reference from which you accessed the page
  • Browser used

  • IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.

3) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period of time and enable the storage of page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage period in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in the case of consent, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general.

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

4) Contact

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email). The data collected when using a contact form can be seen in the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal obligations to retain the data.

5) Tools and other

Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. When using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by checking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, the storage, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
