Cookies

Some of our pages use cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help to make our website more user-friendly, efficient and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser when you next visit the site.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can accept or reject cookies on an individual basis, to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or always reject them, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit your ability to use some of the functions of this website.

Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are set on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the fault-free and optimised provision of its services. If other cookies (such as those used to analyse your surfing behaviour) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called “server log files”, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • time of the server request
  • IP adress

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1) 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil contractual obligation or to undertake measures leading to such a contract.

Contact form

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

We will therefore process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal message sent to us by email is sufficient to do this. The legality of the data processing performed prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until such time as you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions – especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods – remain unaffected by this provision.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website in order to access additional functions offered here. The data entered will only be used for the purposes of using the site or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject your registration.

We will process the data provided during registration only on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1lit. a GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal message sent to us by email is sufficient to do this. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will continue to store the data collected during registration for as long as you remain registered on our website. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of customer and contract data

We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to justify, establish, or modify legal relationships with us (master data). This occurs on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfil contractual obligation or to undertake measures leading to such a contract. We collect, process and use your personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent required to enable you to access our service or to bill you for the same.

The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transmission when entering into a contract for services and digital content

We transmit personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfil the terms of your contract with us, for example, to banks entrusted to process your payments.

Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose, or only if you have given your express permission to do so. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent.
