Data protection and the protection of your personal data is our highest priority. In the following, we shall provide you with information about the processing of your personal data on our website. Your personal data is processed in accordance with German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG), valid until 24/05/2018, the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz, TMG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), valid as of 25/05/2018 as well as the new German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu).
If you are only visiting our website and retrieving the information presented there, it is not necessary for you to provide any personal data.
We use this data to technically enable you to visit our website. We also use this data for statistical purposes and to improve the design and layout of our website. We store IP addresses to ensure and maintain IT security (e.g. detecting and defending against so-called DOS attacks) and functionality. The legal basis for temporarily storing data is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR.
There are contact forms on our website that may be used to contact us electronically.
The processing of the personal data from the input screen shall serve us only to process your enquiry. In the event that we are contacted by email, this shall also constitute the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. If the email was sent with the aim of concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR.
The legal basis for the application procedure results from Section 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 88 GDPR. The purpose of collecting your personal data is your application procedure. Your applicant data shall therefore only be used for the purpose of processing your application.
User registration: You may wish to fill out a registration form on our website with contact information. This information shall be used to send you products that you have requested, information on other products, news, or promotional materials and to learn more about our website users. If you provide us with your email address, we shall communicate with you by email. However, we shall not pass your email address on to third parties outside the operator of this website.
Contact form: Once the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, the personal data shall be blocked or deleted as long as there are no statutory retention obligations that prevent this.
Application: We shall store your personal data upon receipt of your application. In cases of employment, we shall store your applicant data within the legal retention periods after any termination of the corresponding employment relationship. Should we reject your application, we shall store your application data for six months after rejection of your application, unless you have given us your consent to a longer storage period.
Within the company, the data shall be provided to the departments which require it in order to fulfil your request.
We have developed a form for the right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR.
Here, it is important to us to ensure the identity of the person making the enquiry, because this is the only way in which we can guarantee that the information has been requested lawfully.
To exercise your rights stated above and to revoke your consent please contact the email address given in the legal notice.
In the event of breaches of data protection law, the person concerned shall have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The supervisory authority responsible for data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
Before filing a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, we would ask that you first to attempt to clarify the matter with our Data Protection Officer.
No data is currently being transmitted to third-party countries and there are no plans to do so in the future.
We use so-called “cookies” on our website. These are small text files that are sent from our web server to your computer to identify it for the duration of your visit. We do not collect any personal data via these cookies.
It is also possible to display our website without cookies being stored. You can deactivate cookie storage in your browser settings or set it so that you are informed about the intended storage of cookies by a website. In this case, you can decide whether or not to accept cookies. However, for technical reasons, it is necessary to allow temporary cookies to enable our website to function in full.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service by Google Inc. (“Google”). As a result, data is collected and stored from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. These usage profiles are used to analyse visitor behaviour and are evaluated for the improvement and demand-oriented design of our website.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files stored on your computer, to allow the analysis of how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including parts of your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google shall use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for website operators and provide other services relating to website and Internet usage. Google may also transmit this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google connect your IP address with other Google data. We shall also not combine the pseudonymised user profiles with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without your express consent. Data collection for the usage statistics and transmission to Google shall take place with the extended code “gat._anonymizelp();”. The collection of IP addresses is therefore anonymised (so-called IP masking).
We also use technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, and access by unauthorised persons.

This also applies to improvements and/or changes to the products and/or programmes described on this site.
The operator of this website asks that you do not send us any confidential or copyrighted information via this website. Please note that we do NOT consider any information or material that reaches us in this way to be confidential. If you send us confidential information or material anyway, you grant us an unrestricted, irrevocable right to use, reproduce, display, execute, modify, forward, and distribute it. You also agree that the operator of this website is free to use any ideas, concepts, expertise or techniques that you have provided to us for any purpose. However, we shall not disclose your name or include you in a publication as the sender of the information or materials unless: a) we obtain your consent to include your name, b) we inform you before we publish the material provided to us as a contribution to a particular part of this website or the information including your name, or c) if required by law.
Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. Please note that, despite all security measures, data transmitted via the Internet may be accessed of falsified by third parties.
We shall provide information in accordance with Article 12 of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Information marked with an asterisk (*) is required to verify the identity of the person making the request. Where there is reasonable doubt regarding the identity of the applicant, we may request additional information deemed necessary to confirm the identity of the data subject. Only when the data provided by you corresponds to the data in our systems can we provide information, as we also have to ensure that the information being provided is not made available to unauthorised third parties in accordance with the GDPR.
You will be notified once we have received your request. Depending on the type and the scope of the information, the request is made immediately in accordance with Art. 12 para. 3 of the GDPR, and no later than one month after receipt of the request.
This time frame may only be exceeded in exceptional circumstances. Should this be the case, you will be notified separately.
If no data concerning the person making the request is processed or personal data has unavoidably been made anonymous, you will receive a so-called negative disclosure.
Your information is used only for the purpose of searching for and providing information.
