Data collection on this website
Who is responsible for the data collection on this website?
Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the legal notice (Impressum) of this website.
How do we collect your data?
Your data is collected, on the one hand, when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter into a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website via our IT systems. This is mainly technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.
What do we use your data for?
Part of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. For this and for further questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. Furthermore, you have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
In addition, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Details can be found in the privacy policy under "Right to restriction of processing".
Analysis tools and third-party tools
When you visit this website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done with cookies and with so-called analysis programs.
The analysis of your browsing behaviour is usually anonymous; the browsing behaviour cannot be traced back to you.
You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information on these tools and on your options to object can be found in the following privacy policy.
General notes and mandatory information
Information on data protection
The protection of your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. We only collect or use your data for our own purposes in accordance with the German Federal Data Protection Act and other legal provisions. In addition, it is important to us that you know at all times when we store data and how we use it.
Collection and storage of personal data
By visiting our website, information about the access (names of the pages accessed, the browser used, the operating system and the requesting domain, date and time of access, search engines used, names of downloaded files and your IP address) may be logged.
Further personal information is only collected if you make it available to us voluntarily. If you contact us by email, WhatsApp, SMS or telephone, or otherwise communicate or transmit personal data to us, your stated and transmitted data is stored by us for the purpose of processing the request, the current order and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
On this website, no direct personal data is determined automatically. This means: you disclose this data to us only through your active input of (for example) name, address, date of birth, social security number, etc.
Insofar as the internet offering provides the possibility of entering personal or business data (email addresses, names, addresses), the disclosure of this data by the user is on an expressly voluntary basis. The use and payment of all offered services is permitted - as far as technically possible and reasonable - even without providing such data or by providing anonymised data or a pseudonym.
The use by third parties of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice or comparable information, such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers as well as email addresses, for the purpose of sending information that has not been expressly requested is not permitted. Legal steps against the senders of so-called spam mails in the event of violations of this prohibition are expressly reserved.
Use, transfer and deletion of personal data
We use the personal information you provide to answer your inquiries, to process the order, and for the purpose of the technical administration of the website. Personal information is only passed on to third parties with your express consent or by order of a body authorised to do so (e.g. in the context of criminal prosecution). In addition, we reserve the right to pass on personal information to third parties for collection purposes.
We point out that the transmission of data on the internet (e.g. by email) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.
All brand logos, symbols, images, designs, product and company names as well as all other brand-related website content are protected by trademark and design rights as well as other rights of the respective brands.
