Data protection

We take privacy seriously. The protection of your privacy when processing personal data is important to us. By default, when you visit our website, our web servers store the IP address of your Internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, the websites you visit, the date and duration of the visit. This information is mandatory for the technical transfer of websites and secure server operation. A personalized evaluation of this data does not take place. If you send us data via contact form, this data will be stored in the course of the backup on our servers. Your data will only be used by us to process your request. Your data will be treated confidentially. A passing on to third parties will not take place.

Personal data

Personal data is data about you. This includes your name, address and email address. You do not have to divulge any personal information in order to visit our website. In some cases we need your name and address as well as additional information to offer you the desired service. The same applies in the event that we supply you with informational material on request or if we answer your inquiries. In these cases we will always point this out to you. In addition, we only store the data that you have sent to us automatically or voluntarily. When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data necessary to provide our service. We may ask you for more information, which is voluntary in nature. Whenever we process personal information, we do so to provide you with our service or to pursue our commercial goals.

Automatically stored non-personal data

When you visit our website, we store certain information for administrative and technical reasons. These are: type and version of the browser used, date and time of access, as well as the IP address. This data is anonymised and used only for statistical purposes or to improve our internet and online services. This anonymized data is stored separately from personal data on secure systems and cannot be assigned to individual persons. This means that your personal information remains protected at all times.

Cookies

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred from an Internet server to your browser and stored on its hard disk. The legal basis for the use of cookies is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Only the Internet Protocol address is stored here – no other personal data. This information, which is stored in the cookies, allows you to automatically recognize it the next time you visit our website, which will facilitate your use. Of course, you can also visit our website without accepting cookies. If you do not want your computer to be recognized the next time you visit, you may also decline to use cookies by changing the settings in your browser to “decline cookies”. The respective procedure can be found in the operating instructions of your respective browser. If you refuse the use of cookies, however, it may lead to restrictions in the use of some areas of our websites.

Newsletter

When you sign up for our newsletter, we store your IP address and the date of registration. This storage alone serves as proof in the event that a third party misuses their e-mail address to you without your knowledge or your authorization to sign up for the newsletter. If you no longer wish to receive newsletters from us later, you can unsubscribe at any time without incurring costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Safety

We have taken technical and administrative safeguards to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access. All our employees as well as service providers working for us are obliged to follow the valid data protection laws. Whenever we collect and process personal information, it will be encrypted before being transferred. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security is subject to a constant process of improvement and our privacy policy is constantly being revised. Please make sure you have the latest version. Affected rights: Please contact us at any time if you would like to find out which personal data we store about you or if you want to have it corrected or deleted. In addition, you have the right to restrict the processing (Art. 18 DSGVO), a right to object to the processing (Art. 21 DSGVO) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO).
