Privacy policy

We take the protection of your data seriously and generally try to collect and store as little data as possible. Nevertheless, a certain amount of storage and analysis of user data is necessary to ensure and improve the operation of this website. In principle, it is possible to use this website without having to provide any personal data. There is also no assignment of data to a specific person – unless you tell us your name, for example in an e-mail, via one of our forms or as part of an order.

If you use one of the services offered on this website, this regularly requires the collection, processing and storage of personal data, such as your name, address, e-mail address or telephone number. This collection, processing and storage is generally carried out either on the basis of your previously obtained express consent or a corresponding legal authorization and on the basis of the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation and the local data protection law.

We would like to inform you here about the type, scope and purpose of the data collected, processed, stored and used by us via this website and about your existing rights in this context.

We use SSL transport encryption on this website. This serves, among other things, to protect confidential content, such as inquiries to us. You can see that the connection is actually encrypted in the address line of your browser, which always begins with „https://“ and confirms the existing transport encryption with a lock symbol.

„personal data“

any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person („data subject“);

„data subject“

any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed; an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

„restriction of processing“

the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing;

„profiling“

any automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or change of location.

„pseudonymization“

the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

„file system“

any structured collection of personal data accessible according to specified criteria, whether such collection is maintained on a centralized, decentralized or functional or geographical basis;

„for processing controller“

the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union law or Member State law;

„processor“

a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller;

„third party“

a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor;

a breach of security leading to the destruction, loss or alteration, whether accidental or unlawful, or to the unauthorized disclosure of or access to personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed;

„transborder processing“

a processing of personal data carried out in the context of the activities of establishments of a controller or a processor in the Union in more than one Member State, where the controller or processor is established in more than one Member State, or a processing of personal data carried out in the context of the activities of a single establishment of a controller or a processor in the Union which has or is likely to have a significant impact on data subjects in more than one Member State;

„relevant and reasoned objection“ means.

an objection as to whether or not there is a breach of this Regulation or whether the intended measure against the controller or processor is in compliance with this Regulation, clearly indicating the scope of the risks posed by the draft decision in relation to the fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects and, where applicable, the free flow of personal data in the Union.

3. Legal basis of the data processing

For processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party (such as the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration) or for the performance of pre-contractual measures (such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services), the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary due to a legal obligation affecting us, such as for compliance with tax obligations or commercial law retention requirements, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

To the extent that the processing of personal data should exceptionally be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, the processing would be carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(d) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Processing of personal data necessary for the purposes of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party shall be carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation, unless such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data. Such legitimate interest also constitutes the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

e-mail

If you send us an e-mail, the personal data voluntarily transmitted to us in this context will be automatically stored and, if necessary, processed for the purpose of processing or contacting you. This includes – if provided by you – in particular your name, your address or e-mail address, your telephone number and other information voluntarily provided by you. As a matter of principle, we use the personal data collected in this way only to the extent necessary to process your inquiries and orders. This data will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances, unless we are legally obliged to do so.

4. E-Mail

This includes – if provided by you – in particular your name, your address or e-mail address, your telephone number and other information voluntarily provided by you. As a matter of principle, we use the personal data generated in this process only to the extent necessary to process your inquiries and orders. These data will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances, unless we are legally obliged to do so.

5. Duration of storage, deletion and blocking of personal data

Personal data of the data subjects will be processed or stored by the controller, subject to other legal provisions, only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage. A further determining criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period.

After the storage purposes no longer apply and existing legal storage periods have expired, the personal data will be blocked or deleted by the controller in accordance with the legal regulations and requirements, even without a corresponding request from the data subject.

6. Your rights as a data subject

Below, we describe the rights that any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has against the controller.
