An Overview of Data Protection
General
The following gives a simple overview of what kind of personal information we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle your data when you visit or use our website. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified.
Data collection on our website
Who is responsible for the data collection on this website? The data collected on this website are processed by the website operator. The operator's contact details can be found in the website's legal notice.
How do we collect your data? Some data are collected when you provide them to us — for example, data you enter in a contact form. Other data are collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website, primarily technical data such as browser, operating system, and time of access.
What do we use your data for? Part of the data is collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website. Other data can be used to analyze how visitors use the site.
What rights do you have regarding your data? You always have the right to request information about your stored data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of its collection at no charge. You also have the right to request that your data be corrected, blocked, or deleted. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice, and may file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities.
General and Mandatory Information
Data protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. email communication) may be subject to security breaches; complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.
Revocation of your consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect; an informal email is sufficient. Data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
Information, blocking, deletion
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with free information about any of your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and purpose, and the right to have that data corrected, blocked, or deleted.
Opposition to promotional emails
We expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of legal notice requirements for sending unsolicited promotional and informational materials. The website operator reserves the right to take legal action if unsolicited advertising, such as spam email, is received.
Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses; they help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Most cookies we use are "session cookies," automatically deleted after your visit. You can configure your browser to inform you about cookies, accept them case-by-case, or reject them entirely; disabling cookies may limit site functionality.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information your browser transmits in server log files: browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. These data are not combined with data from other sources.
Customer and contract data
We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as necessary to establish or modify legal relationships with us. Collected customer data are deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship; legal retention periods remain unaffected. Personally identifiable data are transmitted to third parties only to the extent required to fulfill your contract and never for advertising purposes without your express consent.
