The Lichtgitter Group (Lichtgitter) is pleased about your visit to our website and your interest in our company and our products.
Protecting your privacy when processing personal data and the security of all business data are important concerns for us, which we take into consideration in our business processes. We process the personal data collected during your visit to our websites confidentially.
We wish to point out that online data transmission is not entirely secure and that complete protection against access by third parties is thus not possible.
Lichtgitter collects and uses your personal data, among other things, for the purpose for which you have provided your data, e.g. to process requests for information, to order brochures or samples, to contact us or to process offers.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted when you end your browser session. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are kept informed about the setting of cookies. You can also thus permit cookies only in individual cases, accept cookies for certain cases or generally exclude and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data using technically necessary session cookies is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data using cookies for the purposes of analyses after the user has given consent for this is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The user data collected through the technically necessary cookies will not be used to create user profiles.
We use analysis cookies to improve the quality of our website and its contents. By using analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used so we can constantly improve our website.
The processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for these purposes may be regarded as carried out for a legitimate interest.
These data cannot be assigned to any specific person. This data will not be merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific reasons to suspect illegal use.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is required to enable the website to be delivered to your computer. In order to do this, your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data will be deleted as soon as their collection is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of collecting the data in order to provide our website, this is the case when the respective session is over.
The collection of data for the provision of our website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is, therefore, no opportunity for you to object to this.
On our website, you can contact us either via the e-mail address provided or by using our contact form. In this case, the personal data transmitted with your e-mail or the contact form will be stored.
In this context, the data will not be disclosed to third parties. The data are solely used for conducting the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing of the data, if consent has been given, is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of the data that have been transmitted in the course of the sending an e-mail or the contact form is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The processing of personal data in the event of contact being established may be regarded as carried out for a necessary legitimate interest.
The other personal data processed during the dispatching process serve to prevent any abuse of communication and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
The data will be deleted as soon as their collection is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. With regard to the personal data sent via e-mail or the contact form, this is the case when the respective conversation with the visitor has ended. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the situation concerned has been conclusively clarified.
You have the possibility, at all times, to revoke the consent gave regarding the processing of your personal data. If you contact us by e-mail, you may object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, communication cannot be continued.
If you wish to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data, please send us an e-mail with the subject heading "Revocation of data protection consent" to datenschutz@lichtgitter.com.
In this event, all the personal data stored in the course of the communication will be deleted.
