3. Scope and purpose of processing
We process personal data of users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, our content, and services. The processing of personal data of our users is generally carried out only with the user’s consent. Exceptions apply in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal provisions.
3.1 Legal basis for processing
Where we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for pre-contractual measures.
Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.
If the processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR applies.
If processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
4. Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data shall also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
5. Provision of the website and creation of log files
5.1 Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing device.
The following data are collected:
- Information about the browser type and version used
- The user’s operating system
- The user’s internet service provider
- The user’s IP address
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
- Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website
5.2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
5.3 Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. To do this, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serve to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data are not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
5.4 Duration of storage
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of data collected for providing the website, this is the case when the session ends.
In the case of storage in log files, this is the case after no more than 7 days. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymised so that assignment to the accessing client is no longer possible.
5.5 Right to object and to erasure
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files are essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no possibility to object.
6. Use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that enables unique identification of the browser when the website is accessed again.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.
In addition, we use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user’s browsing behaviour.
6.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies for analytical purposes—if the user has consented—is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
6.3 Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be provided without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognised even after a page change.
We use analysis cookies to improve the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus continuously optimise our offer.
6.4 Duration of storage and options for objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, as a user you have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically.

7. Contact form and e-mail contact
7.1 Description and scope of data processing
A contact form is available on our website which can be used for electronic communication. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask are transmitted to us and stored. These data typically include:
- Name
- Email address
- Subject
- Message text
- Any additional information provided voluntarily (e.g., telephone number)
At the time of submission, the following data are also stored:
- The user’s IP address
- Date and time of transmission
Alternatively, contact may be made via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
There is no transfer of data to third parties in this context. The data are used exclusively for processing the conversation.
7.2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for processing the data, where user consent has been obtained, is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
7.3 Purpose of data processing
The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact request. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
Other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
7.4 Duration of storage
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified.
7.5 Right to object and to erasure
The user has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, they may object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting will be deleted in this case.

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input form are transmitted to us.

For the processing of data, your consent is obtained during the registration process and reference is made to this Privacy Policy.
If you purchase goods or services from us and provide your email address, we may subsequently use it to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter will only contain direct advertising for our own similar goods or services.
8.2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for processing the data after the user subscribes to the newsletter is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR if the user has given consent.
For newsletter distribution following the purchase of goods or services, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Recital 47 GDPR and § 7 (3) UWG (German Act Against Unfair Competition).
8.3 Purpose of data processing
The collection of the user’s email address serves to deliver the newsletter. The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.
8.4 Duration of storage
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Accordingly, the user’s email address is stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
8.5 Right to withdraw consent and to object
The newsletter subscription may be terminated by the user at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding unsubscribe link.
This also enables withdrawal of consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.
9. Use of analytics tools
9.1 Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We have activated IP anonymisation on this website, meaning that your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage to the website operator.
9.2 Legal basis
The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
9.3 Purpose of processing
The purpose of using Google Analytics is to analyse the usage of our website and to continuously improve it. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Data may be transmitted to the USA. Google LLC has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
Further information can be found at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
9.5 Duration of storage and right to withdraw consent
The cookies used by Google Analytics are stored for up to two years. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by adjusting your cookie settings or by deleting the cookies stored on your device.

10.3 Social media plugins (e.g. Facebook Like Button, LinkedIn Share Button)
Our website may integrate plugins of the social networks listed above. When you visit a page that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the social network. The plugin content is transmitted directly to your browser by the provider and integrated into the page.
Through this integration, the provider receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile with this provider or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) may be transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the provider and stored there.
10.4 Purpose of data processing
The use of plugins serves to make our online presence more appealing and to facilitate interaction with our content through social networks.
10.5 Options for objection
If you do not want the social network to associate your visit to our website with your account, you must log out of the respective account before visiting our website.
You can also completely prevent the loading of plugins using appropriate browser extensions such as “NoScript” or “Ghostery”.
