 SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

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

• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
• Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address, typically anonymized)
• Time of the server request

The processing of this data is technically necessary to display our website to you in a stable and secure manner. This data is not combined with other data sources.

• Legal basis: Data processing is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in the error-free provision, secure operation, and optimization of our website.
• Retention period: This data is stored for a limited period for security reasons (e.g., to investigate cases of misuse or fraud) and is automatically deleted thereafter.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

We use only technically necessary cookies on our website. These cookies are absolutely essential to provide you with the website’s basic functions and to ensure secure and error-free operation. Data processing in this context is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest) or on § 25 Paragraph 2 of the TDDDG. The website operator’s legitimate interest lies in the technically optimized provision of its services.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the form—including the contact details you enter there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

• Legal basis: The processing of this data is based on Article Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest) to efficiently respond to your message. If your inquiry is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b of the GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures).
• Retention period: The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods under tax and commercial law—remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry—including all personal data contained therein (name, inquiry)—will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

• Legal basis: The processing of this data is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR (legitimate interest), as we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us. If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b of the GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures).
• Retention Period: The data you send us via a contact request will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Under applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to:

• Access (Art. 15 GDPR): You may request information at any time regarding your personal data that we process.
• Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): You may request the immediate correction of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.
• Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You have the right to request the erasure of your data stored by us (“right to be forgotten”), provided that no legal obligations prevent this.
• Restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You may request that we restrict the processing of your data.
• Data portability (Art. 20 GDPR): You may request that we provide your data to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
• Withdrawal of Consent (Art. 7 Paragraph 3 GDPR): Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time, effective for the future.
• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR): In the event of data protection violations, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.
