Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used, after your consent, to analyse your user behaviour.

You have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data, as well as a right to rectification or erasure.

This website is hosted by an external service provider. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact data, names and website access.

The host is used for the purpose of contract performance towards our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offering (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. Please note that data transmission over the internet can have security gaps; complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Storage period: Unless a more specific storage period is stated, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. In the event of a justified request for erasure or withdrawal of consent, your data will be deleted unless there are other legally permissible reasons for storage, such as tax or commercial retention periods.

Transfer to the USA: Tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on this website. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to US servers. The USA is not considered a safe third country under EU data protection law.

Withdrawal of consent: Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): If processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. In the case of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time.

You are also entitled to: the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, the right to data portability, the right to information, rectification and erasure, and the right to restriction of processing.

Processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The data remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent, or the purpose no longer applies.

If you contact us by email or phone, your enquiry including all resulting personal data will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The legal bases correspond to those of the contact form. The data remains with us until you ask us to delete it, withdraw your consent, or the purpose for storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
