• Cookies

  These websites sometimes use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

  Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

  You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to accept cookies in certain cases or to generally reject them, and to automatically delete cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

  Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

• Server log files

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

  • Browsertype and Browserversion
  • used operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the User-Computer
  • Time of the request
  • IP-Address

  This data will not be combined with other data sources.

  This data is collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) DSVGO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically flawless presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

• Contact form

  If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

  The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSVGO). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

  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 data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

• Inquiries via email, telephone or fax

  When you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

  The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) DSVGO) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) DSVGO), as we have a legitimate interest in the efficient processing of inquiries addressed to us.

  The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

  The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSVGO). You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient. The lawfulness of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

  The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

• Data transfer upon conclusion of contracts for services and digital content

  We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example to the credit institution commissioned with processing the payment.

  Your data will not be transmitted further, or only if you have expressly consented to such transmission. Your data will not be shared with third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

  The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
