Data Protection Policy - Your data is safe with us!
Data protection is a matter of trust, and your trust is important to us. We respect your privacy and personal sphere. The protection and lawful collection, processing and use of your personal data is therefore very important to us. We strictly adhere to the legal provisions when processing your personal data and would like to inform you about our data collection and use here, so that you feel secure when visiting our website.
You can visit our website without disclosing any personal information. We only store so-called "server log files", access data without personal reference, such as the name of your Internet provider, your Internet browser used, the page from which you are visiting us, the date and time of your access or the name of the requested file. This data is used solely to improve our services and does not allow for any conclusions to be drawn about you as a person. This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data you may submit and cannot be traced back to a specific person. It is used for statistical purposes to improve our website and our services. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and "server log files" is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. The data will be erased as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In case data is collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If you wish to make use of a service provided by our company via our website, it cannot be ruled out that personal data may need to be processed. If there is no legal basis for the processing of personal data, we will obtain the consent of the data subject. This will be visible in appropriate places. This may be necessary if you register on our website, request our newsletter or if you contact us via our contact form. The legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain your consent for processing purposes is provided in accordance with Art. 6 l lit. a) GDPR. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil or to initiate a contract (e.g. for the delivery of goods or the provision of such services, or in the case of enquiries about our products and services), processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 l lit. b) GDPR. We store and use the personal data transmitted by you such as name, company, address, e-mail address and telephone number for the purpose of individual communication with you in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ( Federal Data Protection Act) "BDSG-new". Please note that generally no confidential information should be sent via the contact form. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

On our website we include maps of the "Google Maps" service. This is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. We use this service to present our location and to create a route description. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website. To enable the use of the service on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established whenever our website is accessed. If you access the integrated "Google Maps" service, Google stores a cookie on your terminal via your Internet browser. Your user settings and data are processed to display our location and create a route description. We cannot prevent Google from using servers in the USA. By connecting to Google in this way, Google can determine from which website your request has been sent and to which IP address the directions are transmitted. The certification according to the "EU-US Privacy Shield" guarantees that Google observe the data protection regulations of the EU in the processing of data in the US (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participantid=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
