The following rules explain how we handle the data of the visitors that we process in connection with our website and the data of the points of contact at our customers and suppliers.

These data are recorded, stored and analysed for statistical purposes and in order to ensure the system security. These data are collected anonymously and are not stored together with personal data. A merging is not carried out. The legal basis for the collection of processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If you send us a request using the contact form, we shall store the data you provide in the form including the contact data you enter in the form so that we can process the request and in the event of there being any subsequent questions. We shall not pass this data on without your consent.
The data that is entered in the contact form is therefore exclusively processed with your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at all times simply by sending us an informal email. This has no effect on the lawfulness of the data processing that was carried out prior to the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you demand that we delete it, revoke your storage consent, or should the data storage purpose no longer exist (e.g. after your request has been processed) Compulsory legal provisions – especially storage periods – remain unaffected.
