Which data is processed?
Legal basis for data processing
In order to be able to offer you our website and the services associated with it, we process personal data in accordance with the following legal bases:
- consent (section 6 subsection 1 item a) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
- fulfillment of contracts (section 6 subsection 1 item b) GDPR)
- fulfillment of legal obligations (section 6, subsection 1 item c) GDPR)
- weighing of interests (section 6 subsection 1 item f) GDPR)
We will refer to the corresponding terms in connection with the respective processing, to allow you to judge for yourself on which basis we process personal data.
In the event that personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right at any time to revoke your consent vis-a-vis us with future effect.
If and when we process data based on a weighing of interests, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data subject to the provisions of section 21 GDPR.
Access data
When you visit our website, personal data is processed in order to be able to display the contents of the website on your terminal device.
In order for the pages to be displayed in your browser, the IP address of the terminal device you are using must be processed, along with additional information about the browser of your terminal device.
We are obliged under data protection law to also guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the personal data processed with our IT systems.
To this purpose and due to this interest, the following data are recorded on the basis of a weighing of interests:
- IP address of the calling computer (for a maximum of 7 days)
- the operating system of the calling computer
- browser type and version of the calling computer
- name of the retrieved destination address (URL) and file
- date and time of access
- amount of data transmitted
- referring URL (referrer)
The IP address will be deleted or made anonymous from all systems used in connection with the operation of this website after 7 days at the latest. We will then no longer be able to establish a personal reference from the remaining data.
The data is also used to detect and correct errors on the website. If necessary, further information comparable with the above data may be collected for the purpose of defending against attacks on our IT systems within the framework of safeguarding our legitimate interests.
Contact Form
We offer a contact form on our website where you can request information about our products or contact us in general. You can also contact us by email. We have marked the data as mandatory fields that are absolutely necessary to answer an inquiry. Information on other data fields is voluntary.
We need this information to process your inquiry, to address you correctly and to send you a reply. The data processing takes place upon concrete inquiries for the fulfillment of a contract and/or contract negotiations. In the event of general requests, the processing is carried out on the basis of a weighing of interests.
Inquiries received via the contact form on our website or by email are electronically processed by us in order to respond to your inquiry. In this context, other persons or departments and possibly third parties may also become aware of the form content that you have sent.
The transmission of form data via the Internet is implemented by means of encrypted connections.
Newsletter
You can also subscribe to an email newsletter on our website. In addition to the voluntary information in the respective form, we only process your email address. However, this is also absolutely necessary in order to be able to send you the newsletter.
Unless the contents have already been specifically described in individual cases (e.g. within the scope of registration), the contents of the newsletter include general information about our company, our products, services and other information relating to our company.
You can unsubscribe at any time. Alternatively, you will find a link to unsubscribe in each newsletter email.
Your consent is required for sending our newsletter. We obtain your consent regularly via what is known as the double opt-in procedure, which initially involves a confirmation email. You must confirm this email actively to declare your consent to receive the newsletter. This is guaranteed by a technical solution. It is only then that you will be added to the shipment pool. In order to comply with the legal requirements for the confirmation of registration, we store both login and logoff time, as well as the IP address employed in an abbreviated form. This storage is based on our legitimate interests in the defense of claims, as well as proof of the legal conformity of the newsletter dispatch.
Under the strict conditions of section 6 subsection 1 item 1 f) in conjunction with section 7 subsection 3 of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG) the newsletter dispatch can also be effected on the basis of a legitimate interest in the sense of direct marketing. In this case, you can object to the further receipt of the newsletter at any time, which is pointed out here again.
In order to be able to analyze the popularity of our newsletter releases and to optimize them, we record whenever emails are opened and links are clicked. This usage analysis is based on a weighing of interests. You can object to this processing by unsubscribing from the newsletter.
Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small textual information stored on your device via your browser. Cookies are required to enable certain functions of our Internet pages.
These files cannot be used to run programs or viruses on your computer and take up only marginal storage space. As a rule, cookies have a unique character string that is commonly known as the cookie ID. With this identification, the web page or server can uniquely identify your Internet browser and distinguish it from other computers.
We use session cookies that are automatically deleted from your browser immediately after your visit to our website has ended.
In the area of web analysis, however, we also use so-called persistent cookies, which are not automatically deleted after the end of your visit to our website.
You may prevent the setting of cookies by changing the appropriate settings in your browser. To this purpose, please use the manual or the help function of your Internet browser. Please note, however, that the use of our Internet pages may be limited in this case.
The use of cookies is based on a weighing of interests. Our interest is the user-friendly visit of our website.
Notes on the integration of third-party sources
We use contents from so-called third-party sources on our Internet offers. In doing so, we integrate contents or services of third parties in our offers so as to provide additional functions or to optimize presentation processes.
If and when external services and sources are integrated, the successful connection establishment presupposes that the IP address of the user is known to the third party as part of the connection process. In the following points we will discuss further measures and processing that may be carried out by these suppliers. If necessary, these third parties can use measures for user tracking and marketing analysis via cookies or invisible image files. In principle, we endeavor to integrate only those service providers who value the privacy of our visitors and therefore, if possible, only use the IP address for delivery.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of a weighing of interests where we are interested in an attractive design and presentation of our Internet offers, their effective and economical operation and further optimization and improvement.
Google Web fonts
We use what is commonly known as Google web fonts on our website. This means that fonts from Google's servers are loaded to enhance the design of the Internet page. Data processing is performed based on a weighing of interests, and our interest lies in an attractive design of the Internet page.

Recipient / Data transfer
Data that you provide to us will not be transferred to third parties. In particular, your data will not be transferred to third parties for their advertising purposes.
However, we may use service providers to operate this website or to offer other products or services in our name. In this context, service providers may gain access to personal data. We select our service providers carefully - especially with regard to data protection and data security - and take all measures required under data protection law for permissible data processing.

We have implemented technical and organizational measures in accordance with section 32 GDPR to ensure the security of personal data processed by us.
To ensure the security of your data during the transfer process when you visit our website, we also use state-of-the-art SSL/TLS encryption methods.
However, security gaps in data transmission over the Internet cannot be completely excluded. For this reason, please consider the possibility of transmitting personal data using alternative communication channels (for example telephone or letter post).
