Protecting your personal data matters to us. Below we explain in full how we collect, process, and use your data when you visit this website.
The following notes give a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. For full details, please refer to this privacy policy.
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the "Note on the responsible party" section of this privacy policy.
How do we collect your data?
Some data is collected because you provide it to us — for example, data you enter into a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically, or after you give consent, by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is mainly technical data (e.g. web browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
What do we use your data for?
Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze how you use the site. Where contracts can be concluded or initiated through the website, the data submitted is also processed for contract offers, orders, or other requests.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You always have the right to request, free of charge, information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request that this data be corrected or deleted. If you have given consent to data processing, you can withdraw that consent at any time for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You are welcome to contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions about data protection.
We host the content of our website with the following provider:
The provider is IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany (hereinafter "IONOS"). When you visit our website, IONOS collects various log files, including your IP address. For details, see IONOS's privacy policy: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy.
The use of IONOS is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting our website as reliably as possible. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TDDDG), insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
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 pieces of personal data are collected. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for.
The "responsible party" (controller) is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names or email addresses).
Unless a more specific storage duration is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for its processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion, or withdraw consent to the storage of your data, it will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing it (e.g. retention periods required under tax or commercial law) — in the latter case, deletion will take place once those grounds no longer apply.
Where you have given consent to data processing, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device, data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Where your data is required to fulfill a contract, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data where this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may further be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In the course of our business, we work with various external parties. In some cases this requires transferring personal data to those external parties. We only pass personal data to external parties where this is necessary to fulfill a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so, where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure, or where some other legal basis permits the data transfer. Where we engage processors, we only share data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.
You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Where data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing. Where your data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing for such marketing.
In the event of a breach 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 breach.
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. Where you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
You have the right, at any time and free of charge, to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the processing, and, where applicable, a right to have this data corrected or deleted. You are welcome to contact us at any time regarding this.
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. This applies in particular if you dispute the accuracy of the data, if the processing is unlawful, if we no longer need the data but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or if you have objected to the processing under Art. 21(1) GDPR.
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry — including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) — will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Data you send to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your request has been fully handled). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
This privacy policy was created to meet the requirements of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We reserve the right to amend this policy in response to changes in the law or to our website.
