Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Access data

We, the website operator or site provider, collect data about access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and store these as ‘server log files’ on the website server. The following data is logged:

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 180 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to be able to clarify cases of misuse. If data has to be cancelled for reasons of proof, it is excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

Collection and processing of personal data

The website operator only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data.

Personal data is all information that can be used to identify you personally and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

You can also visit this website without providing any personal data. However, in order to improve our online services, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you have requested or the name of your internet provider. By anonymising the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person.

  1. Which data? – We process personal data such as first name, surname, IP address, email address, place of residence, postcode and content details from the contact form.
  2. How – We only process personal data with the express permission of the user concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
  3. Why – The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimising our online offering.

Contact form and e-mail contact

There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

The data will not be passed on to third parties in this context. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. If contact is made by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The user has the option to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

Google Analytics

Due to our legitimate interests in optimising and analysing our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, this website uses the ‘Google Analytics’ service offered by Google Inc. GDPR the service ‘Google Analytics’, which is offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The service (Google Analytics) uses ‘cookies’ – text files that are stored on your end device. The information collected by the cookies is generally sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there for 14 months.

Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

IP anonymisation is used on this website. The IP address of users is truncated within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in other signatory states to the agreement. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. This truncation eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. The user’s IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

As part of the contract data agreement that we as the website operator have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to analyse website usage and website activity and to provide services related to internet usage.

The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to analyse the use of our online offering by individual users, e.g. to compile reports on website activity in order to improve our online offering.
