General

For the sake of easier reading, no gender-specific distinction is made in our data protection declaration. The terms used apply, in the context of equal treatment, to both genders.

The meaning of the terminology used, for example ‘personal data’ or its ‘processing’ can be taken from Article 4 of the EU-General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The users’ personal data processed in the context of this online offering, includes inventory data (e.g. customers’ names and addresses), contract data (e.g. services used, name of person responsible, payment information), usage data (e.g. Websites of our online offering visited, interest in our products) and content data (e.g. input into the contact form).

‘User’ includes all categories of persons affected by the data processing. These include, for example, our business partners, customers, interested parties and other visitors to our online offering.

Data transfer to third parties
We would like to point out that a data transfer takes place when using our online offering due to the use of Google Analytics.

Data transfers to third countries or an international organization
Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not a directly applicable law. This basically includes all countries outside the EU, respectively, the European Economic Area.

A data transfer to a third party or an international organization takes place. Hereby is taken into consideration that relevant suitable/appropriate guarantees are present, and your enforceable rights and effective judicial remedies are available.

A copy of the appropriate guarantees can be obtained under the following links:

Length of storage of your personal data
We adhere to the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means the data made available to us is only retained for as long as it is needed to fulfil the previously named purposes or as laid down by the manifold storage periods provided for by the legislator. If the relevant purpose no longer exists, respectively after expiry of the appropriate period, your data is routinely blocked, respectively erased, in accordance with the statutory provisions.

We have developed a company-internal concept to guarantee this procedure

Making contact
If you make contact with us by email, telephone, fax etc., you consent to electronic communication. Personal data will be collected in the context of contacting us. Your data are transmitted with SSL encryption. The information which you provide will be stored exclusively for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

We would like to tell you the legal grounds:

  • Processing to safeguard our legitimate interests: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR

We would like to advise you that emails can be read or changed, unnoticed and without authorization, during transmission.

Emails can be rejected by the spam filter if they are wrongly identified as spam due to the presence of certain characteristics
