COLLECTION OF GENERAL INFORMATION WHEN VISITING OUR WEBSITE

TYPE AND PURPOSE OF PROCESSING

When you access our website, i.e. without registering or otherwise transmitting any information, we collect some information of a general nature. This information (server log files) includes, for instance, the type of browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, your IP address and similar information.
This information is processed for the following purposes in particular:

Ensuring a smooth connection with the website
Ensuring a problem-free use of our website
An evaluation of the system security and stability as well as
Optimising our website

We do not use your data in order to draw conclusions on your person. We analyse this data, possibly in anonymised form, statistically in order to optimise our website and its underlying technology.

LEGAL BASIS AND LEGITIMATE INTEREST:

The processing takes place in accordance with point (f) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

RECIPIENTS:

The recipients of the data are any technical service providers entrusted with operating and maintaining our website as commissioned data processors.

RETENTION PERIOD:

The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For the data collected for the provision of the website, this is generally the case when the session ends.
In the case of data saved in log files, this is the case after 14 days at the latest. It is possible that the data will be retained beyond this period. In such a case, the IP address of the user will be anonymised, so that it will not be possible to allocate it to the accessing client.

MANDATORY OR REQUIRED PROVISION OF DATA:

The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the IP address, the service and the functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, some services might not be available or may only be available to a limited extent. An objection is therefore not possible.

COOKIES

This website currently uses no cookies.

CONTACT FORM

TYPE AND PURPOSE OF PROCESSING

The data you enter will be saved for the purpose of individual communication with you. This requires that you enter a valid email address and your name. These will be used in order to assign the inquiry to you and to answer it. Entering additional data is optional.

LEGAL BASIS:

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is done on the basis of a legitimate interest (point (f) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR).
The purpose of providing the contact form is to give you an easy and uncomplicated way of contacting us. The data you enter will be saved for the purpose of processing your inquiry and any follow-up questions.
If you contact us for the purpose of requesting a quote, then the processing of the data entered in the contact form shall be done in order to carry out measures prior to entering into a contract (point (b) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR).

RECIPIENTS:

Recipients of the data may be commissioned data processors.

RETENTION PERIOD:

The data will be erased 6 months after processing at the latest.
If a contractual relationship is established as a result, we are obliged to comply with the retention period prescribed by the German Commercial Code (HGB) and will erase your data only after these periods shall lapse.

MANDATORY OR REQUIRED PROVISION OF DATA:

The provision of your personal data is voluntary. However, we can only process your inquiry if you provide us with your name, email address and the reason for contacting us.

USE OF FONT LIBRARIES (GOOGLE WEB FONTS)

In order to display our content graphically correctly across various browsers, we use “Google Web Fonts” on our website, a service offered by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”).
You can find more information on Google Web Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

SSL ENCRYPTION

To ensure the protection of data during transmission, we use state of the art encryption technology (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING ACC. TO ART. 21 OF THE GDPR

RIGHT TO OBJECT REGARDING INDIVIDUAL CASES

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR (data processing on the basis of a weighing of interests), including profiling based on those provisions in the sense of Art. 4(4) of the GDPR.
