We wish to inform you about how we handle your personal data when you use this website and your rights in this regard. Personal data is any information based on which you can be identified.
We’re committed to providing a clear and simple personal data protection statement, but in case of any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our contact details are provided below in the section ‘Personal Data Controller’. If a definition we provided is unclear, please refer to the official definitions. These are set out in Art. 4 GDPR.
In general, you are under no contractual or statutory obligation to provide any of your personal data for our disposal. Your decision not to provide them has no negative consequences. However, this applies only insofar as no other statement is made in the subsequent processing operations.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or requests regarding personal data protection and personal data with reference to yourselves and our enterprise as well as any matters related to the processing of personal data by our company. Similarly, don’t hesitate to contact us whenever you wish to exercise any of your rights under GDPR (e.g. your right to withdraw consent). Please use the contact details below of the data controller, or if applicable, our data protection officer. You can naturally also use the contact details provided in the Imprint (Impressum) section. Please note that we can only answer telephone calls within our business hours.
In order to safeguard personal data and other confidential contents (e.g., where applicable, purchase orders, enquiries, etc.), the entire traffic on our website is automatically encrypted using the SSL or TLS protocols to ensure interception-proof data transmission. You can tell this is the case by checking if your browser’s address bar features a green padlock icon and the address starts with the string ‘https://’.
Because of how the Internet works, your browser sends to us some personal data. This also happens whenever you visit a website for reference purposes only (i.e. without even providing any data).
In particular, your IP address is transmitted with each call. Without it, data transmission would be impossible.
To put it in more simple terms, failing to provide an IP address would be like sending a letter without the recipient’s address. We simply wouldn’t know where to send a data package. A data package contains our website’s contents, which you want transferred to you.
Some data may be transmitted to us in an automated manner.
These data are transmitted to us by your browser or your Internet Service Provider. We can’t prevent those data from being transmitted to us from our website. Also, the data are technically necessary for the website to be displayed for you.
We record the data for up to six 6 weeks in the so-called server log files. Such data are processed in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which provides that processing is lawful if it is necessary for the purposes of pursuing legitimate interests.
Our legitimate interests include security as well as early identification of cyber-attacks and protection against them, which we’re obligated by law to ensure in order to safeguard your personal data. IP addresses and host names are stored in our logs in an anonymised form only, unless there is a specific suspicion of harmful activity by the visitor.
Where harmful activity is suspected (including, without limitation, attempts to interfere with source code, circumvent security systems, perform mass queries, modify the site, gain access to protected areas, attempts at SQL injections, cross-site scripting, session hijacking etc.), the logged data are subsequently checked and, where necessary, used as evidence in the prosecution of any offences and provided to competent German authorities or a law firm seated in Germany. We also reserve a right to technically prevent access to our server where there is a strong suspicion of a cyber-attack (such as a brute force attack). This is done by blocking data traffic from our server to you.
When contacting us (e.g. through our contact form or via e-mail), your personal data will be collected. Which data specifically are collected is evident from the respective form. Such data will be stored and used solely for the purposes of replying to your enquiry or contacting you and any related technical handling operations. In this case, data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in replying to your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you are contacting us with a view to concluding a contract, data are processed also in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be erased after your enquiry is answered in full, i.e. when it can be assumed under the circumstances that the matter has been finally resolved, unless this is contrary to any legal obligations concerning data storage.
