  1. Nature and purpose of data processing

 

  1. a) When visiting the website

When you access our website, information is automatically sent to the server of our website by the browser used on your device. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called logfile.

 

The following information is collected without your input and stored until automated deletion:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,

  • Date and time of access,

  • Name and URL of the retrieved file,

  • Website from which access is made (Referrer URL),

  • used browser and

  • the operating system of your computer as well as

  • the name of your access provider.

 

The mentioned data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection establishment of the website,

  • Ensuring a comfortable use of our website,

  • Evaluation of system security and stability as well as

  • for further administrative purposes.

 

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes of data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data to draw conclusions about you. Furthermore, we use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website. Further explanations can be found in sections 4 and 5 of this privacy policy.

 

 

  1. b) When using our inquiry form

For non-binding inquiries about our products, we offer you a quotation form on our page. The information provided there is required for the creation of a quote. The data processing for the purpose of preparing the quote is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The personal data we collect through the form will be stored for the further fulfillment of the contract in accordance with legal retention obligations, or in case no contract is concluded, deleted after 3 months.

​

  1. c) Contacting by email

You are also welcome to send us an email, although we would like to point out that communication via unencrypted email is insecure. It is comparable to sending a postcard. Confidential information should never be sent via unencrypted email. We store your email and your email address in our email program. In this context, there will be no transfer of data to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation. The legal basis for processing the data is, if the user's consent is obtained, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or the existence of a treatment contract. The legal basis for processing the data transmitted during the sending of an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, then the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The processing of personal data from your email is solely for the purpose of processing your request. We delete the data as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of its collection. For the personal data transmitted via email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is considered ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. The user has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us via email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, an email to the above-mentioned email address is sufficient. All personal data that was stored during the contact will be deleted in this case.

 

  1. d) Contacting by phone

You can call us at the phone number mentioned on the page. In this case, we will only record your data if it is necessary for further use of our services, such as scheduling an appointment for an initial consultation in which you will be informed about data processing in the context of treatment.

 

 

2. Transfer of data

The transmission of your personal data to third parties occurs solely in cases where:

 

  • this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you, e.g. to deliver the goods to you via a logistics company

  • we are legally obliged to do so, e.g. towards the tax office

  • You have expressly consented to the transmission,

  • the transfer is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have a predominant legitimate interest in not sharing your data.

 

Under no circumstances will we provide your data unsolicited and without your consent to third parties for advertising purposes.

 

3. Cookies

We use cookies. These are small text files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. The cookie contains information that is related to the specific device being used. The purpose of using session cookies is to make your visit to the site more pleasant by recognizing which pages your browser has already accessed. Session cookies are automatically deleted when the browser session ends. In addition, we use temporary cookies to make our site more user-friendly, for example, to spare you from having to re-enter data.

 

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically capture the usage of our websites and to evaluate this for the purpose of optimizing our offering for you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognize during a subsequent visit to our site that you have already been with us. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period.

 

The legal basis for data processing through cookies is according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest in achieving the aforementioned purposes. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser to not store any cookies on your computer or to always display a warning before a new cookie is created. However, complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all functions of our website.

 

4. Google Analytics

We also use Google Analytics, the analysis tool of the American company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics stores small text files (so-called cookies) that are placed on your device (laptop, PC, smartphone, etc.) and allows for the analysis of your use of the website. This information about your use of the website is sent to Google in the USA and stored there. The processing of Google Analytics cookies is based on Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f) GDPR. We aim to continuously improve our offerings and therefore have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior.

 

Anonymization of the IP address

We use the option of IP anonymization. Therefore, Google generally only receives a shortened IP address. In exceptional cases, the shortening only occurs on Google's server. Google is commissioned by us to evaluate your use of our website based on the transmitted information and to report back to us. The data we transmit is not linked by Google with other data. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google.

 

Prevention of data collection by Google Analytics

You have three options to prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google Analytics:

  1. You can disable the storage of cookies in your browser.

  2. You can install a browser plugin that you can find under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

  3. Ultimately, you can set an opt-out cookie yourself via the following link, which prevents the processing of your data by Google Analytics. Disable Google Analytics.
