With the following data protection declaration, we explain the way we handle personal data in collecting, processing, using and deleting it.
Data protection is a matter of trust, and your trust is important to us. We respect your privacy and personal sphere. The protection and legally compliant collection, processing and use of your personal data are thus an important concern to us. To make sure you feel safe when visiting our website, we strictly observe legal provisions when processing your personal data and would like to inform you here concerning our data collection and data use.
We oblige to comply with the GDPR and nationally applicable data protection laws. For us, data protection is a company-wide topic of high priority, and we only work with partners also able to demonstrate an appropriate level of data protection in their processing framework. We only process your data if you have provided us your express consent to do so, if this relates to a contract or pre-contractual measures on a service basis or if the relevant laws permit or require data processing. The following data protection information covers both the currently applicable national legal framework and the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) valid throughout Europe from May 25, 2018. References to the legal basis of the GDPR are definitive from May 25, 2018. Under no circumstances do we sell your data or disclose them on to unauthorized third parties. We would gladly provide you with detailed information on the handling of your data in our departments below.
We deploy appropriate technical and organizational safety measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are constantly being improved according to the technological state of the art.
We collect and use the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
For statistical purposes, we store the name of the requested website, the date and time of the page visit as well as the volume of data transferred. In addition, whether the transmission of the information was successful and the provider through which access occurred.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. To do so, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data are stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data are also used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not occur in this context.
These purposes also reflect our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Section 1 lit. f GDPR.
In order to make our website as pleasant and convenient as possible for you as a user, we occasionally utilize the services of external service providers. Below, you have the opportunity to become informed about data protection regulations for the use and application of the services and functions deployed, in order to be able to exercise your rights, if necessary, also with the service providers.

The personal data of the subject are deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. In addition, storage can occur beyond this period if this has been provided for by the European or national legislation or in EU regulations, laws or other rules to which the controller is subject. Blockage or erasure of the data shall also occur if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or for performance of a contract.
Other data are also deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. In case data are collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session ends.
If the data are stored in log files, they will be deleted at the latest after seven days. Storage beyond this time is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or rendered anonymous so that any attribution of the client calling up the website is no longer possible.
