Part of the data is collected to ensure that the service is provided without errors. Other data can be used to analyse your user behaviour.

a) Collection and processing when using the contact form or when processing an inquiry

When using the contact form, we only collect personal data (individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person) to the extent provided by you.

Your data are then deleted, unless you have expressly agreed to further processing.

b) Collection and use when requesting an offer or ordering via the contact form

We process and use your personal data when submitting an offer or orders via the contact form in order to subsequently ensure the processing of contracts (contractual or pre-contractual measures).

These are deleted after the expiration of this period, unless you have expressly agreed to further use or processing.

6. Information on the protection of the rights of data subjects

II. RECORDING OF DATA ON OUR WEBSITE

Cookies

The Internet pages sometimes uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and help to make our website more user-friendly, effective and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after you leave our site. Other cookies will remain archived on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can adjust the settings of your browser to make sure that you are notified every time cookies are necessary and so you can accept each of them individually. You can also adjust settings to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific situations or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functions of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic communications transaction or to provide certain functions you want to use (e.g. the shopping cart function), are stored on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 pt. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimised provision of the operator’s services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing patterns) should be stored, they are addressed separately in this Data Protection Declaration.

Server-log files

The provider of this website and its pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser communicates to us automatically.

These are:

  • type and version of browser
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • hostname of the accessing computer
  • time of the server inquiry
  • IP Address

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest according to Article 6 para. 1 pt. f of the GDPR to operate this website professionally and securely.

Contact form // Collection and processing when using the contact form

If you submit enquiries to us via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on these data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent according to Article 6 para. 1 pt. a of the GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time. All you are required to do is sent us an informal notification via e-mail. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

We also collect and use your data from the contact form on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 pt. b of the GDPR in the event that an offer is to be sent to you or your order is received directly by us. This constitutes a contractual or pre-contractual measure. After complete processing of the contract, all personal data will initially be stored in accordance with the statutory periods for reasons of tax law and commercial law. These are deleted after the expiration of this period, unless you have expressly agreed to further use or processing.
