We appreciate your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy when processing personal data, as well as the security of all business data, is an important concern for us and one that we take into account in our business processes. Here, we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis.
In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b, the GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation which our company is subject to, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c, the GDPR serves as legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d, the GDPR serves as legal basis.
Below we provide information about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data is all data that is personally relatable to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses and user behavior.
When you contact us by e-mail or through a contact form, we will store the information you have provided (your e-mail address, your name and your telephone number if applicable) in order to answer your questions. We delete the data that arises in this context once the storage is no longer required, or limit the processing if there are statutory retention requirements.
In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive, assigned to the browser you are using, and that provide certain information to the position that sets the cookie. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the Internet offer more user-friendly and effective overall.
You can configure your browser setting according to your wishes and, e.g. decline the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. So-called “Third Party Cookies” are cookies that have been set by a third party, and therefore not by the actual website on which you are currently located. Please be aware that you may not be able to use all functions of this website.
The Flash cookies used are not detected by your browser but by your Flash plug-in. Furthermore, we use HTML5 storage objects, which are stored on your device. These objects store the required data regardless of your browser and do not have an automatic expiration date. You can configure the setting and deletion of Flash cookies via the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html. Alternatively, if you do not want Flash cookies to be processed, you can install an add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash killer cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using the private mode in your browser. In addition, we recommend that you regularly delete your cookies and the browser history manually.
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage lapses.
In addition, such storage may be provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject.
A blocking or deletion of the data takes place even if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for a contract or fulfillment of the contract.
In the following, we will inform you about your data subject rights in accordance with Art. 15 of the GDPR. You can exercise these rights at any time and therefore contact us directly. Insofar as you claim these rights against us, we will examine these in detail, taking into account the associated legal requirements and requirements. For this we will ask for more information from you. We will explain the results of our examination as well as our procedure for the fulfillment of your inquiry in detail. It is possible that we cannot fully meet your wishes in the way you want.
This should not prevent you from claiming your rights or asking us about them. We will gladly answer all your inquiries.
You have the right to demand that we correct the incorrect data we have stored about you. This includes the right to complete or rectify incomplete personal data.
You have the right to request that we delete the data we have stored about you. If we have published data from you, this also includes our obligation, in the context of the “right to be forgotten” under Art. 17 para. 2 of the GDPR, taking into account available technology and the implementation costs, your deletion request all links to these data as well as copies or replications to forward this data to other persons responsible for the processing of this published personal data.
To the extent that we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not required to fulfill a contract with you, which we describe in each case in the following description of the functions. In the event of such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the case of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate reasons for which we continue the processing.
Of course, you may object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can inform us about your objection to advertising using the above-mentioned contact channels.
If you have given consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time. Such revocation will affect the admissibility of the processing of your personal data after you have given it to us.
You have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority at any time about our processing of personal data.
You have the right to receive information on the existence of automated decision-making including profiling under Article 22 para. 1 and 4 GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended impact of such processing on the affected person.
When you contact the service provider by e-mail, your e-mail address and, if you so specify, your name, telephone number and […] will be stored by us in order for us to answer your questions.
We sometimes use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly inspected.
