The processing of personal data (eg collecting, querying, using, storing or transmitting) always requires a legal basis (Art. 6 DS-GVO) or your consent.

§ 5 Data Collection

1. Provision and Use of the Website

a. Type and extent of processing

Every time a user accesses our website and every time a file is accessed, data is transmitted from your browser to us. This is necessary for our website to be displayed to you. Access data about this process is stored in a log file on servers of our IT service providers. The provider collects the stored data for security reasons, examples include;

  • accessing IP address
  • browser type (version)
  • operating system
  • date / time of the request

Furthermore, your data will be evaluated anonymously for statistical purposes, a transfer to third parties, neither for commercial nor for non-commercial purposes, does not take place here. If we process your personal data for the purpose of providing certain offers, we will inform you about the specific transactions, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis for the processing and the respective retention period.

b. Legal basis

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) DS-GVO as legal basis. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the provision of a website and thus serves to protect the legitimate interests of our company.

c. Storage time

To ensure the quality and stability of our homepage, it is necessary to store your data. After a period of 14 days, the data collected is deleted, unless an individual case occurs and the law requires storage of the data for a longer period.

2. Data collection by completing the contact form

a. Type and scope of data collection

If you send us an inquiry via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent. The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DS-GVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out in the time period before the revocation being received remains unaffected by the revocation.

The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or delete the purpose for data storage (for example, after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

As part of the contact form, the user enters the following data in order to process the request:

  • Name – Postal code, address
  • First name – E-Mail
  • Company – Telephone

b. Legal basis

The collection and processing of personal data under the contact form constitutes a pre-contractual action, upon request of the persons concerned. The legal basis is thus Article 6 (1) (b) of the DS-GVO.

c. Storage time

The duration of the storage of the above data depends on the reason for your contact. A deletion of your data takes place regularly, as long as the pursued purpose of the communication no longer exists and storage is no longer necessary (for example, after final processing of your request).
