If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

Cookies

We only use necessary cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.
Information is stored in the cookie that is related to the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.
The utilisation of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our offer more convenient for you. We utilise so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been to our site and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already been to our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to avail of the full functionality of this website.
The data processed by cookies, which is required for the proper functioning of the website, is thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.
For all other cookies, you have given your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO via our opt-in cookie banner. In order for this banner to work, it also sets cookies itself, e.g. to be able to remember your decision.

Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority

You have the right to complain about our processing of personal data to a supervisory authority responsible for data protection.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Your rights as a data subject

You have the right to information about personal data concerning you (Art. 12 et seq. of the DSGVO). To this end, you can contact us for information at any time.
In the case of a request for information that is not made in writing and that cannot otherwise be verified with certainty, you may have to expect enquiries to establish your identity.
Furthermore, you have a right to correction or deletion or to restriction of processing, insofar as you are entitled to this by law.
Finally, you have a right to object to processing within the limits of the law. In particular, if you wish to exercise a right to object (Art. 21.DSGVO) to processing of your data based on our balancing of interests, we will consider this carefully. We have carefully carried out our balancing of interests here.
You also have a right to data portability. Here too, this is granted within the framework of the legal requirements (Art. 20 DSGVO).

4. Recording of data on this website

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically. The information comprises:

  • The type and version of browser used
  • The used operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • The hostname of the accessing computer
  • The time of the server inquiry
  • The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error free depiction and the optimization of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been obtained.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
