Why do we collect personal data?

We collect, process and use personal data on this website in order to offer you our services and to give you the opportunity to use these services.

Automatic data collection

When you visit our website or one of its subpages, general data is automatically collected. However, these do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about you as a person. The data collected is information such as:

- Which browser is used?

- When was my website accessed?

- Which sub-pages were called up?

etc.

We need this information in order to be able to optimally adapt the content of our pages to the users and to constantly improve the protection against possible hacker attacks.

Direct data collection

You have the option of contacting us directly via contact form, e-mail or telephone if you have any questions or concerns. In doing so, it is up to you how much information you want to disclose to us. When you send us an e-mail, we automatically receive your e-mail address. We need this in order to send you a reply. If a business relationship arises from the inquiry, the data will be stored in accordance with the legal retention periods.

Will my data be passed on?

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (order processors or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of data to third parties, such as to payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO). Should this be the case, you must have consented, legal obligation provide for this or the bases of our legitimate interest exist (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.). If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing agreement", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 DSGVO.

What are cookies and what is their purpose?

Cookies are text files that are stored on your internet browser. This has the advantage that you do not have to enter certain data, such as access data, manually again and again. This is done for you by the cookie, which stores this information. You can delete the cookies from your browser at any time if you wish. However, you may then no longer be able to fully use all functions.

This website uses a session cookie to initiate the browsing session. Session cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in your computer's memory. A randomly generated, unique identification number is stored in a session cookie, a so-called session ID. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the storage period. These cookies cannot store any other data.  The session cookies we use are deleted as soon as you end the session.

This website also uses third-party cookies. These are set, for example, when you use the web fonts. We use these tools to enhance the user experience of our website and to improve the findability of the site in search engines.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
